Planes Will Eyacuate
Sick and Wounded
From Foreign Posts
Air Ambulance Service
is Being Organized,
Stimson Reveals
By NELSON M. SHEPARD.

With American troops now
serving in at least 81 overseas
garrisons and expeditionary
forces, Secretary of War Stimson
disclosed today that arrange
ments are being made by the
Army Air Forces to transport
sick and wounded by air ambu-
lances.
A medical unit to be known as the
Air Evacuation Group is being or
ganized, he said, to provide as com-
plete facilities for treatment in
transit as are known to aerial-med-
ical research.
Air transportation of the wounded
Is being done by all nations in
yolved in the war and the United
States has frequently used trans
port planes and bombers to convey
wounded from the battle fronts.
Until now, however, no regular or
ganization has been in service for
overseas forces.
Earlier experiments with specially
equipped air ambuiances were con-
Quoted successfully during last year S
Army maneuvers. These plans are
now being perfected by Brig. Gen.
David N. w. Grant, whose appoint
ment as air surgeon was announced
last week. He is organizing the unit
under the supervision of 1t. Gen.
Henry H. Arnold, commander of the
air forces.
Equipped with dual purpose planes
the Evacuation Group will be used
TO bring in supplies as we'll as to take
out wounded. Not only transports,
but all other types of planes can
be used in this service, Mr.. Stimson
said. These include the small liaison
plane, which can land on a small
emergency field or even on high
ways.
AS many as 40 patients may be
borne comfortably in the racks Oi
the hospital transport planes. Over
difficult terrain, a trip that may
take a ground ambulance 13 hours
may be accomplished by air in a
single hour.
Facilities for Operations.
The planes will be equipped with
facilities for surgical operations
blood transfusions and the use oi
| plasma. Each will be small, com.
| pact field hospital unit. The stand.
ard oxygen mask used by the Army
Air Forces is said to be well adapted
! to medical needs.
Each evacuation will be uder di,
rection of a flight surgeon. Ar
Army nurse and one Medical Corps
enlisted man will accompany eacf
plane to care for the patients.
The Army is planning to set up 6
school to train Medical Corps en-
listed personnel for this special worl
in the near future. Former airline
stewardesses were said to be par
ticularly qualified for the service
Army nurses selected for the All
Evacuation Group will be required
to have air experience.

who Tilted him when his true char
acter was revealed.
From the fact that Mrs. Melind
was on the stand it was possible tc
speculate that the prosecution traced
the earlier background of the de-
fendants before taking up the re-
cital of their recent activities
Haupt, a German born and natural
lied citizen of the United States
with yen for helping Hitler, re-
turned to Germany before the war

The "non-com" is reported to have
discovered four of the Nazis bury
ing their destructive cargo of dy-
Mantle and other explosives in the
sand dunes of New Yorks Long
Island the night they were landed
offshore by a U-boat.
After a long day in the court
room-the first session of the trial
running from 10 am. to 445 pm
the eight Nazis were returned to the
District Jail in the manner they
arrived at the Justice Department
to fight for their lives. Two closed
prison vans brought them to the
Justice Department shortly before
o'clock yesterday morning, and
the same two vehicles took them
back about Sis pm.
Guards Heavy at All Times.
On each trip, the vans were ac-
eompanied by police escort to clear
q traffic lane, and three Army scout
cars filled with machine guns and
helmeted soldiers armed with rifles
The departure from the Justice
Department Building, IN the midst
of the afternoon rush hour, was not
as well co-ordinated, however, as the
arrival OF the caravan In the
morning. First, there were far more
spectators waiting on the sidewalk
opposite the building, and as II
emerged from the courtyard, most OF
them rushed to the center OF the
street. The. second van in the
procession was slow in leaving and
the vanguard in the caravan was
forced to stop and wait. Meantime
heavy traffic on Ninth street piled
up and one car blocked the drive
way.
Sergt. Wilbrrt Lewis of the traf1c
squad prevented further complica-
tions. Jumping from his motorcycle
he ordered the car in front OF the
path of the van to move and directed
the traffic officer on duty at Ninth
street and Pennsylvania avenue-1Oo
wards away-to halt southbound
vehicles. He did, and the vehicles
moved into Constitution avenue with
police sirens screaming, Brig. Gen.

Usually Forecast Winner.
In the 80 years preceding his re-

two presidential contests and one
governorship.
His ability to prognosticate be-
came known far beyond the city
where he spent all of his A years
in newspaper work.
His system was simple. He walked
talked and listened to every cross
section of thought he could, studied
scattered returns on election night,
and from it all was able not only to
name the winners consistently, but
also the approximate margins OF
victory.
Predicted Wilson Victory.
In 1915, on election night, as the
returns were pouring in and many
of the Nations newspapers conceded
the presidential election Of Charles
Evans Hughes-later Chief Justice
of the United States-over woodrow
Wilson, he refused to join them
even when threatened with dis
missal.
Events proved he was right for

in American history, a single State

Mr.. McAuliffe was born in st

who died in 1889. They had one
daughter, Mary Irene, who married
