When Mai. Gen. Herbert A.
Dargue left here last week to take
over his new post as commander of
the Army's 1st Air Force protecting
the vital Northeast States, he
took with him picture and repu-
tation it earned him for resource
fulneSs in unexpected situations.
At his headquarters near New
York City, he doubtless will meet
bigger problems, but none will re-
Qulre any more ingenuity than he
: demonstrated one hot April morning
Z in 1916 at Chihuahua City, Mexico,
when he saved his plane from
crowd of hostile CarranZiStas armed
with cigarettes, stones and an in
satiable curiosity which prompted
them to pull out cOtter pins, un-
screw bolts and burn holes in the
wings and fuselage. And he has a
picture of it.
While serving IN the First Aero
Squadron with the Mexican puni-
tive expedition, Gen. Dargue, then
q lieutenant, was ordered by Gen.
John j. PerShlng to fly TO Cnlhua-
hua City with dispatches for the
American consul, Marion H. Letcher,
while another pilot, Lieut.. Col j. E.
.Carberry then also lieutenant and
now retired, was to fly duplicate
set of dispatches, landing on the
opposite side of the city. With Gen.
Dargue was Maj. Gen. B. D. Foulois,
who retired as chief of the Air Corps,
then a lieutenant. With Col. Car
berry was the late Col T F. Dodd,
then a captain.
Foulois Thrown In Jail.
Gen. Dargue landed his plane, a
Curtiss JN-2 type more familiarly
known as the Jenny" on the south
side of the city, where Gen. Foulois
got out. A squad of Carranza SOL
dlers advanced toward the ship as
Gen. Dargue took off, and fired
volley at the plane. Several shots
went through the fuselage, but none
struck him. He few over to the
north side of the city and landed
near Col. Carherry's plane. He was

moved his camera and focused
again. When he was ready second
time, Gen. Dargue held up his hand
and moved to another position. The
photographer went through the
focusing process once more.
Left Without Picture.
After three-quarters of an hour
of that, the photographer was on
the verge of a nervous breakdown,

ture. They were never introduced,
but Gen. Dargue was never happier
to meet any one in his life. AS if
by magic, the crowd forgot its mis-
sion of destruction and drew back
Evening star., 1941-07-28

and rudder, removed by souvenir
hunter, were replaced with nails
and Col. Carberry took off in a hail
of cheers and jeers. That left Gen.
Dargue alone.
AS Gen. Dargue cranked up his
motor and TAXED around to follow,
the stones we're beginning to fly in
earnest He later counted more
than so holes in the wings and
fuselage. Things looked encourag-
ing as the wheels got off the ground.
but suddenly the turtleback on the
rear of the fuselage few of, ap-
parently unfastened by one of the
spectators, and smashed the stabil-
izers. He was on the ground again
before he knew it, He barely man
aged to rescue the turtleback from
a group of small boys jumping up
and down on it as though it were a
springboard.
Gen. Dargue was about ready to
Evening star., 1941-07-28

but the crowd was enjoying the
scene, which was more important.
Just as the photographer had de-
cided to take his picture with or
without the pilot, the crowd gave
way again, this time for Gen. Foul
ois, Mr.. Letcher and Gen. Gutierrez,
the military governor Of Chihuahua.
On his way to Jail in custody of the
soldiers, Gen. FouloiS had called to
an American they passed on the
street, told him who he was and
asked him to notify Mr.. Letcher.
Mr.. Letcher appealed to Gen.
Gutierrez, who brought a guard
with them for the plane
Under protection of the guard,
Gen. Dargue patched up the larger
holes, repaired the stabilizer with
the rim Of wagon wheel he found
lying nearby and took off without

cided to fly to a larger field near
an American-owned mine or s
miles away, where they would have
better protection from the onlookers,
who were cutting off pieces of fabric
for souvenirs, burning holes in the
wings for sport, and yanking at the
rigging to see whether 1t would
break. The pins from the elevator

haps get in the picture.
Gen Dargue stalled. When the
photographer had finished focusing,
put in his plate and was ready to
snap the shutter, Gen. Dargue held
up his hand. He readjusted the
propeller and moved over to another
part of the plane Wouldn't this be
better shot? The photographer

SO busy making his getaway, how

Gen. Foulois had attempted to stop
the soldiers from firing and was
promptly arrested. About the time
Gen. Dargue was landing on the
other side of the city, Gen. Foulois
was landing in the city jail,
Maj Dodd had left to deliver his
set of dispatches and Gen. Dargue
and Col Carberry held hurried

House Unit Plans Probe
OF South S Power Shortage
az The Associated prf

By the Associated Press.
With evidence before it that fuel
shortages in New England have been
remedied and that from a trans
portation STANDPOINT there should
be no reason for petroleum short
age. a House subcommittee made
plans today to investigate alleged
power shortages in the Southeast.
Chairman Hart of the Merchant
Marine Subcommittee said it seemed
advisable to INQUIRE into the situa-
tion which caused the Federal
Power Commission to order curtail-
ment of the use Of electricity in
the Carolinas. Georgia and other
Southeastern States. and to see if
there was any fuel shortage in the
Middle Atlantic States.
Rear Admiral Emory S. Land,
chairman of the Maritime Commits
sion. advised the committee in
letter that 1T would appear that,
purely from a transportation stand
point, there should not again be
reason for a petroleum shortage"
He said he was speaking based on
present conditions" which could
change overnight.
Admiral Land said that 40 tank
ers being returned by Great Brit
ain should all be returned by the
end of November.

County Coroner Winslow j. Rushong
decided Mr.. Reed committed sui
eide.
Neighbors said it long had been
believed in this area that Mr.. Reed
and his father before him had been
mining gold in the woods near their
secluded home.
Mr.. Reed always seemed to have
plenty of money" { neighbor said.
And he was out there digging al
most every DAY
Biologists have found a guam
tity of the precious metal in the
clay under this area, but it is so
widely scattered that the cost of
mining would exceed the profits.
Gold deposits, likewise improbable
for mining. have been discovered in
several Eastern Pennsylvania coun-
ties.
