By MICHAEL CLOUD.

WITH THE r. A. F. IN GREECE,
April IA (By Gable Via Athens to
N.ANA).-In the air battles over
Yugoslavia against great odds, the
defense spearhead has been Yugo-
slav pilots, all young men trained by
a famous British fighter ace who
was invalided out of service in 1899
after a crash in France. He had
only a matter of weeks in which to
try to lick the Yogoslav air arm into
shape.
After the Luftwaffe sky massacre
of Belgrade, defense formations of
Yugoslav fighters have gone up,
pitifully small in number, to inter-
cept Junkers formations proceeding
elsewhere. This is the story of one
of the pupils of the British ace,
23-year-old Yugoslav lieutenant who
took off to intercept raid, leading
a formation of six Yugoslav ma
chimes.
The lieutenant slipped through
broken cloud and saw group of

Two let 60 at him with shell guns
before he realized what had hap
pened. A piece of shell ripped off
part of the roof of his cabin, within
s inches of his head. The icy wind
poured into the hole under his
helmet, which acted as sort OF
parachute, and lifted him up from
out of his seat. He managed to
force himself back, and dived away
as the bombers fired again.
German Goes Down.
Coming back in a climbing turn
In spite of the great handicap of the
torn roof, he fired a long burst
straight into one Junkers. The Ger
man flew steadily on it's course for
about minute, and then did slow
roll to starboard, got on its back,
put its nose sharply down. and with
black vapor pouring out behind,
went into spin and vertically down
out of control.
The lieutenant climbed once again
to renew the fight. A sky battle had

him. Shrapnel gave him wound
in the chest and jammed his guns.
Another Yugoslav fighter, making
his report next day, said that the
young lieutenant turned south, pre-
tending to flee. The triumphant
Junkers bombers followed, shooting
hard. The Yugoslav pilot was
wounded again. He flew the ma
chine slumped against the side of
his cockpit. He flew with the nose
of his Rogojarsky steadily turned
down. Only terrific willpower kept
him from fainting. The Germans,

to lead them, accepted these odds in
head-on attack. The Germans
opened fan-wise, but three smaller
YugoSlav formations power-dived in
from a great height from the east
and west.
The six machines, led by the
young lieutenant, sought the middle
of the German air fleet, knowing
that their chances of life were hope
less, and determined to die as the
Greeks died at Thermopylae.

battle drifted southwa-d and the

ALL TIME
 HIGH. SET,
 AIR TRAVEL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-More people travelled by air during June than in any month in the history of American aviation, it was an- nounced today by Donald H. Con- molly, Administrator of Civil Aero nautics.
 The domestic air lines carried 353.478 revenue passengers a total of 3o.680225 passenger miles, also an all-time high. The number of travellers was 3324 percent ahead of June 1940, according to figures compiled by the Civil Aeronautics Administration. It is believed that a large part of this increase is due to the accelerated tempo of the business in the United States caused by the defense effort.
 Previous records were also broken in the amount of express carried by plane. The total for June, 1941, was 1,544,111 pounds, 5726 percent more than in the same month last year. Shipments of tools. parts and other items urgently needed in de- fense production accounted for much of the rise, it is believed.
 The passenger load factor reached a new peak of GAIA percent. The factor is based on the percentage of seating capacity occupied for the full length of all flights; dur ing customary hours of travel, lines operating between key points were forced to turn away passengers, it is reported.
 The total number of passengers carried during the first half of this year by the l6 airlines report ing to the CAA was 1,569,608, an increase of 36.31 percent over the 1940 period.

Wodelouse In Bad by
 Broadcast
Noted British Humorist Makes False Break with
 Some Book Buyers
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, August 20--P G. Wodehouse did himself no good with some people by his broadcast from Berlin. After a year in an internment camp, during which he wrote two novels and expressed himself as feeling fine, the noted British humorist announced that he had been unable to work up any real hatred of the Nazis.
 At once caustic comment began to appear in print and in the man. uscripts of the commentators. His friends, rallying to his defense, scoff at the "appeaser" charge, say ing he is far too good 8 business man to endanger his wide Amer ican sales through pro-Nazi talk at this time. Wodeholse is one of the worlds highest paid writers. Once he took $185 GOO out of Holly wood for not writing a line. He just went out on contract, sat around until the contract was up. collected his wages, and came back to New York. His comments on Hollywood at that time did not endear him to the picture front offices.
 One notes another trend in the wars progress with the influx of Russian jokes, which pro bably could be called new, as most jokes are, but which really are the same old puns do;led in new clothing and playing a return date
 The most familiar of these is about the shill in front of water front bar who enticed pedestrians with. cries of come on in-meet the Russian princess" Il
 After the unwary pedestrian had sat around for awhile, slipping a drink, he said to the waiter, But where is the princess?"
 TOh, don't worry about that,' the waiter soothed him. After a couple more of these drinks you'll be able to see the whcse royal family" #
 Another IS the tale of the moody Russian who stared gloomily into his vodka for an hour or more. With each drink he became mood fer, and finally he growled to the Larkeeper, I'm sick of this con- founded, no good country. I'm go- Ing back to America"
 Where do you think you are?" demanded the barkeeper.
 "Omisk." yelled the Russian.
 "Scram," urged the waiter, grab- ping the disconsolate Muscovite by the seat of the britches. You're in Twenty Third Street.
 This next item doesn't concern Russians, though it is about long Lair, and maybe, that's what sua- tested it. Anyway. people walking in Sixth avenue or coming out of the Music Hall are. regaleG by a sign in a barber shop nearby which flaunts this legend:
