WITH THE BOTH DIVISION IN GERMANY-In ancient times the formula for getting into Heaven was to cross the River Jordan, but S. Sgt. Basil E. Young, a 317th Infantryman from Gloversville, crossed the Rhine and Main rivers instead and found a heaven of his own when his group captured the fashionable resort city of Weisbaden.
"Pinch me, I can't believe it," said S. Sgt. Young. "All it needs to make it heaven is a covey of USO cuties!" Old porters and concierges eagerly carried combat packs for the infantrymen.
The old retainers bowed respectfully, saying "Sir" to soldiers and officers alike. The next day the rooms stood silent and empty once more for the infantrymen took to the road in hot pursuit of the withdrawing Wehrmacht. 1st Sgt. Milton D. Compton of Culpepper, Va., and the 317th took it philosophically, "It was a one night stand in heaven."
