EnIistments in Reserve
Corps Suspended

Suspension of enlstments or re-
enlistments in the enlisted Reserve
Corps was disclosed yesterday by the
Army, presumably in preparation Tor
the time when the corps will con-
tain more than 100000 men who
have served one year as selectees.
Although no explanation was made
for closing the enlistments in the
corps, which now contains approx
mately 5000 men, it was believed
that plans are being made for re-
vamping and enlarging its machin-
cry to care for the selectees, who
must serve as resevists 10 years
after their year of duty, or until
they reach the age of As.
While enlisted as reservists, the
men are not subject to draft, but
may be called for duty at any time
by the Army. Those whose re-
enlistments will be refused under
the new policy must register for the
draft.

run plumb into it.
The fire hadn't gone out the way
he had expected. 1t was getting
plenty of fuel from the leak in the
tank and it was all over the floor.
He tried to open the hatch-not that
he wanted to get out, of course; he
just wanted to be on the safe side
But the hatch wouldn't open. 1t
was jammed somewhere. That's one
trouble about fighting-if a bullet
hits the guide rail the hatch is liable
to stick.
"All this didn't take very long,

you calculate time. The whole front

apart.
He didn't have a chance to make
any more plans after that because
the heated, melted part of the guide
rail and the hatch blew off. He got
out and found out afterward that
his parachute wasn't Singed so much
that it wouldn't hold him. He saw
the plane 60 down and crack up in
flames on top of the one he had
shot down. Then he doesn't re-
member much.
After he had landed in the field
another Messerschmitt dived at him,
but he played dead. After awhile he
got loose from the chute and walked
to the phone and called UP his wife

LONDON, Dec. ITO win the

have nerve, ingenuity and all that
but It would help a bit if he also
had a hide like Q rhinoceros and
automatic anaesthesia against any
slugs smaller than golf balls. This
is the considered judgment of Mr.
Gene Tobin. the American pilot
who has made study of the prob
lem and, despite considerable sue
cess in aerial combat, announces
he is not a candidate.
For instance, take the case OF
Flight 1t. James Brindley Nicolson
who was the first fighter pilot to
receive this decoration. Citations
were brief-two or three sentences
describing a short dog-fight and the
collapse of a Messerschmitt. They
made the whole thing sound simple
And that's the sort Of thing that
burns up our Mr.. Tobin.
You don't take on a fight like
that in your spare time he said
you've got to give your attention to
1t. Plenty of stuff happened to
Nicolson and nobody's going to tel
about it in so words. They poured
it on the boy, they poured it on
know what they did. I've beer
seeing him and I've been asking
him about it.

Hes doing all right now.
went out to his house in Yorkshire
to see his new baby. It's two months
old. The longest kid you we're saw
in your like. He's all right now
He's getting so he can just open his
right hand"
Mr.. TObin talked with the assur-
ance of one who knows what he's
talking about and pretty soon you
began to realize how much drama
can be left out of a formal recon-
mendation for a medal.
He was up there with his squad
ron," said Mr.. Tobin. "A Messer-
schmitt ITO came at him from ir
front. He turned out OF the way
quick. 1t was pretty narrow. He
could see tracer bullets sliding past
They were pretty close but not close
enough. He Strengthened out and
started back.
Then he noticed something was
wrong. For instance, there was
something in his left eye and there
was a big cash in the spare petrol
tank out in front of him. Then he
felt something stinging his heel and
he looked down at it. The back OF
his shoe was off and he was bleed
ing-a machine-gun bullet, he
guessed. There was little fire near
his foot but it was just dinky little
fire and he didn't pay any attention
to it. He thought maybe after
awhile it would 60 out.
Hatch Is Struck.
The Messerschmitt that hit him
had gone somewhere else when he
looked for it. But the air was full
of whistling things. Another shell
came into the cockpit and then iron
chunks began to rain down on his
tail. He got the idea another plane
was diving on him. So he slowed
down. That is good tactics-cer-
tainly was in this case. The Mes
serschmitt came roaring down ano
got in front of him. He looked al

Her lips now forming 4 little OF the
wonderment, we're Of the S m e
deep hue. Her hair was so thick
that its waves formed a perfect
complement for the facial color
and contour.
Today she wore white. Bill would
have described the dress only as
.frilly," even though inexpensive
simplicity was its keynote. At the
waistline was a trim that might
have been called a belt. 1t was
crimson chosen to match her lips,
and it was the only color in the gar
ment. Simply tailored, the dress
may even have been a size too
large for the slender girl, and it
could not have cost more than four
or five dollars, but it was perfect
on Lola. It emphasized. rather than
concealed, the perfection of h e r
form; it limited here and there at
curved loneliness, and it revealed
the grace and texture of her arms.
Bill had never before been so
intimately conscious of Lola. He
swallowed, and drew his upper Lip
tight for a second, h~esitating. He
hated more than ever to think OF
Lola's being what she was. He
hated the task before him. But he
had already made up his mind.
