TRIED TO DUPLICATE
After several days, Lambert and
Middleton painted a halo over
Arends' head on the planes. AS
best they could, they tried to dupli-
cate Arends' work.

three horsemen."
Still higher up was the line:
Property of the four horsemen.'
But that line, too had been scratch
ed out
Lambert, nervous, taikative man,
explained that he and his three
buddies had purchased the razor
jointly.
Then he produced the latest snap
shots of Arends standing or sitting
in his beloved Spitfire. Quiet, soft
spoken Middleton asked me to air
mail the pictures to C. A. Whitmore
and M. NJ. Maddox, of the Visalia
Times-Delta.
THE real purpose and spirit of
the four horsemen continues" Lam
bert said Every day when George

up there Bill and Dave are flying

TWO AMBITIONS
Lambert told me he had only two
ambitions.
First" he said, 81 want to see
my daughter who was born several
weeks ago. If you get to ViSalia
please call my family. Write and
tell me whether the baby is a cute
little thing with funny little nose,
ewes and hair - all those things
which make babies just babies
Then I want more hours in the
air over territories where the Huns
hang out"
Before long, Lambert and Middle
ton received the call they wanted
the call for another sweep over the
channel. AS Middleton stood in the
windstream of his Spitfire, he kick
ed the toe of his flying boot into
the ground and, clipping every word
told me:
Now Mick and have got to bag
twice as many ferries. Every sec
ond one will be for Dave and Bill
The motors roared, and the planes
shot into the sky.

PROMOTE PRESS FREEDOM

THE broad objective of the gov
ernment's suit is to promote free
dom of the press by making news
gathered by the Associated Press
available to every newspaper will
ing and able to pay its share of
the cost of this news service.
The national policy in favor of
freedom of the press. the complaint
asserts, requires that newspapers
engaged in disseminating news be
unhampered and unrestrained in
selecting the particular news they
choose to publish. in emphasizing
it, and in expressing any accompa-
nying viewpoint or opinion.
"A corollary of such national
policy is that newspaper be un-
hampered by any artificial or un-
necessary restraints, public or pri-
vate, upon their choice of and free
competitive access to the various
sources of news, including agencies
engaged in assembling and trans
mittings daily news reports of world
events.

Copies of the agreement have been

The agreement is set up under a law
