Freddie Came Back To The RAE
 ---In a Stolen German E-Boat

and put out to sea, the slow sueed at which 1t travelled would have made him an easy target for an E. boat.
 A fiotilla of E-boats, tied toeether made it all so difficult, Grimes ruminated, as he peered down from the low rise they call a hill in that particular section of Holland. yet it was that fiotilla of E-boats that Fgave him his idea. For 1t was at the helm of an E-boat that he reached the English coast again. EsCAPED-TN
 NAZI DISGUISE
 He had taken a chance, making himself known to Q Dutch boy dur ing one hour of the third night there at the ocean front. But that parti- cular Dutch boy proved a fortunate choice for he brought food. And on the fourth night he helped Freddie Grimes perfect the very simple plan for both to leave Holland. At two in the morning they stole down to the quay, and when the sentries had met and turned around and began their wolk In opposite directions. Grimes and the Dutch boy ran barefooted to the last F. boat in that lineup.
 There could have been somebody abroad but there wasn't. The young German officers who run those boats were. in the waterfront hotel which, had been communicated and the crews were in their barrack quarters.
 The Dutch boy went below deck to prime the engines. Like every young Dutch fisherman, he knew engines. Tn five minutes everything was set and then, with the boy still below, Freddie Grimes cast of and slowly the boat began drifting. Then, suddenly, with Q roar that woke up the waterfront the engines sprang to life--and Grimes was twisting the wheel and they were heading out to sea. Rifle, then machine gun bull lets began spraying all around but the boat had disappeared in tho night.
 Freddie Grimes played 1t smart to the last. About one mile from the English coast line he stopped the boat and, floating slowly around In the sea, he sent up the colored sos lights he'd found in the ship locker. Two British MITES came out qnickly, then, to rescue the crew of what they thought would be a sinking E-boat.
 Surprised" was no word to des- cribe the young captain of the Brit iSh rescue boat when he saw spring. hlonding across onto his own ship, e blond British airman in RAF uniform followed by Q hatless Dutch boy, says Freddie Grimes today at the front line airdrome somewhere south of London"

 Washington, D. O., July l6.-Edu- cational orders legislation sponsored by Cong J. Joseph Smith of Con- necticut gave the War Department start in its drive to tool up for defense production in the current emergency, according to the testi- mony of Under Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson, before the Tru- man committee Investigating the progress of the defense program for the Senate yesterday. Congressman Smith has been praised by 1lumer- ous outstanding officials for his fore- sight and wisdom in drafting and guiding the bill through Congress in 1888.
 Speaking on the progress which has been made in the ordnance pro- gram, MT. Patterson said, Tn 1889 and 1940 the Congress increased the appropriations for new ordnance equipment and ammunition, the to- tai appropriated for material for the fiscal year 1940 being $l35, 900 900. This gave the Ordnance Department the chance to lay the groundwork for its enhanced program of the year 1941.
 Educational orders were author ized in 1889 and 1940, and a number of such orders were placed, 81 being placed with 70 different contrac- tors out of the l940 funds. The ex- perience in tooling up thus pro- vided gave the department a start when the emergency developed in the summer of 194O."
 "As in the case of the Ordnance Department" the testimony of the Under Secretary of War continued, "the educational order program au- thorized by the Congress has proved

 London, July 14-Everything about the disappearance of Pilot Freddie Grimes and his crew in their l5- ton Whitley bomber he'd been com pletely mysterious.
 At the fights start, as the sky- battleship lifted its giant weight into the air, the ground wireless hut had failed to establish radio contact with Grimes operator--a routine at every takeon of @ bomber.
 The plane had just circled the field, then headed east-and that was the last they saw of Freddie Grimes.
 Until three days ago.
 Three days ago Freddie Grimes came back to his home airdrome, alone and by automobile, and scratched out his name, which an adjutant had posted as missing on the fields bulletin board. Then he told his story-and 1t was a story worth even to fellow airmen who have stories of their own.
 First, he explained, the radio operator in the plane was adjusting the set as the ship moved across the field, and when 1t left the ground something went wrong and for a. while 1t just went dead. Later on, however, 1t came to life-but by then they were winging out over the Channel, and they decided there was not much use checking with the ground until they were on the return trip back over England.
 So the Whitley just pounded along over the Channel, and then Holland was below. They dropped down 2,000 feet to check their location: easy on a moonlight night like that even over the country which has a repu- tation among RAF pilots as having the perfect blackout. For by follow ing the coast line and then swing ing in along the river marked on their maps, they couldn't 90 wrong. FLIGHT AGAINST TIME
 They droned on for maybe 40 more minutes then they were over the area of their objective. A shell factory, 1t was. A railroad marshall ling yard was their alternate. The barge there was heavy but that didn't worry them like the German night fighters. The ground detec- tors would pick up the sound of their engines and then try to guide the cruising German planes in the direction they were taking.
 Freddie Grimes rear gunner got one German plane, that suddenly spotted the Whitley in the moon- light, after being guided behind for awhile. The moon caught the Whit ley full but 1t also illuminated the German, and because the British rear gunner was so quick on the trigger his bust streaked home first and the M. E. went plunging to the ground.
 To Grimes, piloting the ship, and the bomb airner lying flat on his stomach up in the nose, that was by play. They were both trying to get onto the target-so what hap pened elsewhere meant little at that moment. They swung down across the target once and the bomb man lined his sights, then, with the navigator counting the seconds aloud so Grimes wouldn't stay over the target too long using the few extra gallons of gasoline which was the margin between getting back to home base and landing in the Chan mel, they roared down in @ swing ing arc; with the bomb man releas- ing every ounce of death from the racks beneath the belly of the plane and scoring four hits in a dead line right across the target.

FROM THE GRAND CANYON SUITE
 CNot la Ferde Grofe) My hearts in the Scotch Highlands, But this year I stick to home, Right here in a scenic country perforce choose to roam. Ride em, cowboyl what vistal And just glance at natures trick, In the Grand Canyon of Arizona, Or Colorado, take your pick. Mountains ripped wide open, You go down into caverns wide, On 8 stout delapidated pony, Who cares for equestrian pride! Back again to the surface
 After an all day trip, You compare notes with your companions And thank goodness you didn't slip AS you gaze at the sunset
 And view the canyon land, You note a hundred different colorS And say-isn't 1t grand? My hearts in the Scotch Highlands, Dinna ye ken each firth and loch? But this year I'll take the home land, Every canyon rock by rock.

Then Freddie Grimes, after one last long look, was pulling his plane up and up to get out of the shrap- nel which was coming too close and that's when the long flight home began.
 LUCKY BREAK FOR
 LAST ONE OUT
 As far as Holland the Whitley got-then one engine went dead and the other began skipping beats. Grimes tried every trick he knew to get out over the Channel to their side of the coast, but finally he had to give the order to abandon ship. He was the last out. With the others gone and the ship losing altitude fast he showed back the cowling over his head and jumped.
 He landed in an open field, which was @ break. But about the others, Freddie Grimes says he never saw them. He supposes they're all in some German prison camp right now.
 Discarding his parachute, he began walking. Daylight came and he hid. It was sort of funny, once or twice, in that small roadside ravine, he said. Troops would come rumbling by in trucks and then foot patrol would follow and several times he
