NEW YORK.-United States Army
and Air Force training and Ameri-
can warplanes are far superior tc
Germany's, in the opinion of Stan
Sergt. Paul Otto Young, who -four
years ago was lieutenant in the
German Air Force.
Sergt. Young, who took out first
citizenship papers when he came to
this country in 1888, was drafted in
April, 194l. Despite his request for
assignment in a combat unit, he is
on duty with the Medical Corps at
Camp Stewart, Ga.
He hopes when his final citizen
ship papers come through he may
be able to transfer to a fighting unit
preferably one that would see action
on the European front. He has a
little bet en- with couple Of men in
the German Luftwaffe that some
day they'll meet In combat in
France, but now he thinks it prob
able they already have been killed.
Training Far Better"
Sergt. Young says emphatically
that United States training in the
air forces is far better" than that
in Germany.
THE flying capacity of American
machines is far superior" he added
German machines are worn out in
no time"
Sergt. Young, born in Mannheim
"a years ago, is a graduate of Heidel-
berg University. where he began hi:
student flight training. He entered
the Luftwaffe as reserve in 1894
receiving his commission in 1897.
"A combination of things" led to
his decision to get out OF Germany
He said he saw how things were
going and didn't like It," For In
stance, in Paris onoe, he saw a mo.
ton picture of the bombing of Span.
ish cities during the civil war there
Those films were one reason he de
cided to get out.
He managed to obtain Official per-
mission to leave for other countries
as a student IN research.
Has Relatives in u. S.
For brief time he lived In Swift
zerland and France, coming to New
York from lie Havre. Later he wen
to Brevard. N. c., where an uncl.

as chemist for his uncle until the

Justice Departments, Army and
Navy Intelligence Services and the
Customs Service.
Careful inspection Of the Grips
holm's passengers will be necessary
Mr.. Biddle explained, to guard
against entry of foreign agents. BY
co-ordinating the activities OF the
investigating agencies, it is hoped
to avoid duplication of effort and
unnecessary delay in examining
crew and passenger lists, he said.
Every precaution must be taken
in time Of war to prevent enemy
agents slipping across our borders, y
Mr.. Biddle declared. I'VE have al
ready had experience with them,
and we know them to be well trained
and clever.
Such investigations inevitably
take time. I ask the patience and
understanding of those whose de-
parture from the vessel will be de-
layed by this procedure, and also
of those friends and relatives eagerly
waiting for them ashore. 1t is an
unpleasant, but patriotic obli-
cation"
