Only Nellie

At big Air Forces training stations, soldiers like to sing as they march. Last week trainees of the Air Forces Technical Training Command at Atlantic City were told that some of their songs would have to be dropped.

Offensive to their infantry-trained commanding officer, Colonel Eugene R. Householder, were Roll Out The Barrel, When The War Is Over, Around Her Neck (she wore a yellow ribbon), Oh, My Feet Hurt, I've Been Working On the Railroad, The Moron Song, How Dry I Am and Hinky-dinky, Parlez-Vous.

Reasons for the ban of Stickler Householder, a newcomer to the breezy Air Forces: they might be interpreted as slurs on women, the courage of soldiers or as drinking songs. About all that was left in the marchers' repertoire: Wait 'til the Sun Shines, Nellie.
