U.S.. Veterans Of Raj
Stress importance Of
Teamwork in Combat
Four Volunteers Describe
Experiences in Interview
At Pentoeon Building

Four undaunted, unwounded and
unmarried young officers former
members Of the Eagle Squadron Of
the Raj who have been transferred
to the United States Army Air
Forces modestly described their
combat experiences to reporters at
the Pentagon Building yesterday.
The three Eagle Squadrons, the
list, l21st and the 133rd, were
formed Of American boys who volun-
teered for combat flying with the
RAJ before America went to war.
Maj. Carroll w. McColpin, %, of
Buffalo, N. Y, leads the four in
number of Axis planes shot down
3 confirmed and l probable. Capt.
Reade Tilley, "a, of Clearwater, Fla,
comes next with record of Z enemy
aircraft destroyed and probables.
Maj. William Daley, jr., of Amarillo,
Tex, shot down 3 confirmed and 8
probables, and Capt. Sam A. Maui
riello of Astoria, Long Island, shot
down 3 Axis planes.
All Awarded Medals.
All four hold the Distinguished
Flying Cross awarded them by the
British before the Eagle Squadrons
were transferred to the United
States Army Air Forces in Septem-
Der of this year. These four flyers
are now on leave in America. They
will receive further assignments in
two weeks.
Asked what advice they would
give to American pilots going to
the European theater of war for the
first time, Capt. Mauriello replied:
They should know that every
thing is teamwork in this war.
There are no single aces-going out
by themselves and becoming heroes.
Every squadron member must stay
In formation"
Served Over Malta.
Flying Spitfires, these four pilots
have seen action over Malta, over
France and over the Channel.
The Eagle Squadrons as a group
shot down 70 enemy aircraft from
March, 1941, until September, 1912,
when the United States Army Air
Forces absorbed them.
In October of 1941, the Eagle
Squadrons scored more hits than
any other squadrons in the Raj.
Capt. Mauriello's most exciting
combat experience come in Septem-
Der, l941. Flying in No. 4 posi-
ton in the list Squadron, Capt.
Mauriello pulled up the nose of his
fighter plane to get his sights on
one of Is or 16 Nazi attacking
planes. Before he knew it, another
Nazi was on his tail. The fight
leader yelled: Look out behind
you"
And back of me-" said the cap
tain. was the whole bunch of
Nazis. I turned, but my engine
wouldn't pick up any speed and I
went into the ground"
Held Formation.
Maj. McColpin, who was also in
this action, said:
1T is a sign of our squadron's
discipline-that it was not broken
despite the Nazi attack"
Maj. Daley told reporters that his
greatest sense of achievement in his
flights with the Eagle Squadrons
was in attacking ships in the Eng
lish Channel with Spitfires. 1t was
in one such operation off the Dutch
coast that Maj, Daley got one of
his confirmed hits. This was after
he and seven other Spitfres had
attacked a 3,0O0-ton cargo vessel
and destroyer.

! burne visited this country and he was
convinced that here was the land In
which to live and raise his family. In
Browning he established a trading post
In 1895.
Dec. IL, 1886, Sherburne celebrated
his 85th birthday, which happened to
be the 40th anniversary Of his trading
post at Browning and the goth ami
versary Of his charter Of the First
National bank there, OF which he had
been president since its opening.
School in Minneapolis
Finding no schools at the Blackfeet
Indian agency when he arrived, he
had his nephew, Walter Shepard, con-
duct a private school for a couple Of
years. Then Mrs. Sherburne took the
family of six children during the school
season to Minneapolis, where they at
tended school for many years While
Mrs. Sherburne and the children we're
in Minneapolis they spent their sum-
mers at Browning, or in the mountains
nearby, the then untouched and un-
blemished country which is now Ola
cier park.
Here Sherburne and family followed
the rails shortly after they we're laid,
and saw the last signs Of the once
plentiful buffalo disappear.
He was camped near a lake In the
Many Glacier area, then known as the
"Swiftcurrent" district when the lakes
were unnamed. Surveyors came
through mapping the country and
sketching the quadrangle of his camp
ing grounds. When the surveyors. asked
the name of a certain lake, none was
known, so they named 1t "Sherburne
lake"
Sherburne saw the white-faced steer
follow the buffalo, and sheep follow
the steer.
Soon after Sherburne came to-
Browning, the mountain country was
set aside as a mineral district. He
grubstaked Frank Stevenson, an old |
time prospector Soon others discov-
cred what appeared to be promising |
leads bearing copper running through |
the district in a southeasternly d. |
rection. Colored soldiers were sent into
the district to keep these trespassers
out.
On one occasion, while there was
still plenty Of snow on the ground,
some Of the boys saw the colored men
coming their way, so they beat it for
the tall timber on Bear Paw" snow
shoes. When the negroes came near
the trees they sighted the enormous
tracks In the snow. Thinking they
we're the footprints Of large bear,
they wasted no time getting out Of
here.
In February, 1898, the ceded strip
vas opened to mineral entry and
,aused a real rush to this land of
promise. Stevenson took part In the
stampede and located some mining
claims. but later this mining bubble
'lew up and most Of the claims were
abandoned. It was learned that this
mineral could not extend down any
sppreciable depth on account Of the
Lewis overthrust." which was pushed

VISIT OF ARMY EXPERTS SLATED
Local Observation Posts to Be Inspected By Of-
 ficials Shortly

Army experts will soon make a tour of inspection of the 16O air raid observation posts in the state, including the three in the Water bury area. Changes in the set-up of some stations will probably be rec commended.
 A principal change reported un- der consideration is that of trans ferrirg the observation posts, or at least some of them, from private homes to public buildings or office buildings. The three stations in this area are located at the homes of Wallace J. Ingns, South Waterbury; Rev. Alfred Bells, Wolcott; and Rep. Charles Harper. Middlebury.
 Military experts have already in- Spected the air raid control station in the Chamber of Commerce build ing and have approved it. The sta ton is manned 24 hours daily by a crew of volunteers led by Major John M. Burrall, controller, and Frank J. Green, deputy controller.
 Brig. Gen. John c. Mcdonnell has announced plans for the inspection of the observation posts. Placing Of them on a wartime basis, he said, has resulted in a great i'm provement in speed and efficiency.
 The "spotters' report plane activ- ity to Mitchell Field, l.. l., where re- ports are filtered" and information reayed to the control stations in the various cities.

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Washington, January ? - When Americans answer the present bat tie call of the American Red Cross for a $50,000,00o War Fund, they don't, as rule, ask, Just where are my dollars going2"
 They see their local chapters training nurses aides, or ambu- lance drivers, and rallying blood donors to meet the Army and Navy need for 100000 units Of dried blood plasma. Probably they themselves are enrolled in a first aid course, or are knitting a sweater or rolling bandages under Red Cross supervision. Beyond that, the prestige and reputation of the Red Cross, built up through 50 years of humanitarian service, is enough to hold their firm, un- questioning faith.
 The $50,O00 900 special fund will be fighting on 100 per cent American War Front. Remember that the Foreign War Relief drive in the summer of 1940 raised $22,- 100000 for overseas work, and the regular annual membership roll call handles normal peace time &C., tivities.
 Tucked away in a paragraph of the Red Cross Congressional Charter of 1905-orly such recog- milton given to any welfare or ganization - is a clause providing that the Red Cross shall act "as medium of communication be- tween the people of the United States and their Army and Navy" RED CROSS FIELD MAN
 IS ARMY'S GO-BETWEEN
 In every major army camp and navy post there is Red Cross Field Director. He is the only civilian welfare worker permitted an inside position. He acts as a sort of foster parent" to the men of the outfit and has to be an ex- pert on military law, war risk in- surance, financing, not to mention domestic relations and applied psychology in many shapes and forms. Last year out of every 100 service men went to a Field Director for advice, guidance or emergency help. And there's where one branch of the "communica- tions" activity starts.
 Maybe boy has telegram from home saying his mother is sick. He wants to leave, but the command ing officer isn't. convinced it's nec- essary. A wire from the F. D. to the local Red Cross chapter in the boys home town asks for check up on the home situation. Some times the local representative finds the case not so urgent. and wires

RED CROSS FIELD DIRECTORS MAINTAIN
 SERVICE MEMS "LINE OF COMMUNICATIONS

Red Cross men and women are on the job. Iceland, too, has it's staff helping, advising, keeping the vital line of cheer and assurance intact between the forces and the folks back home.
 RED CROSS AID
 TO CASUALTIES
 Red Cross recreation centers with game rooms and movies are nearly completed in 55 big encampments. These are built by the War De- partment, but equipped and staffed by the Red Cross as another phase of its work for able-bodied service men.
 For handling the sick and con- valescent there are assistant field directors-usually women = in the small base hospitals for less seri- ous cases, as well as at the big army and navy general hospitals, like Walter Reed and St. Eliza beth's in Washington. They are assisted by trained recreation workers and by the Gray Ladies" who make up the volunteer hos pital and recreation corps.
 The part that the War Fund will play in mastering 50,000 nurses as a Red Cross First Reserve for Army and Navy Nurses Corps cannot be underestimated. It works like this:
 Graduate nurses apply individ- ually to be enrolled on the Red Cross nursing files. By so doing, they pledge themselves for active duty with the Army or Navy in time of war, or with the Red Cross in time of disaster. First Reserve members are single, un- der 40, in Al physical shape, and are ready to go anywhere. Sec ond Reserves can't consider mill tary duty for one reason or an- other, but are availbale for local service and civilian defense duty.
 A similar roll of medical tech nologistS who form a reservoir for Army and Navy needs is another Red Cross responsibility. Trips to army and navy stations are pro noted by the Red Cross for girls fresh out of hospital graduating classes. These stimulate enroll ment for duty with the fast-ex- banding army and navy.
 Fifteen per cent of each chap ter's contributions to the $5O,000,- 900 fund is kept for war work on the local front. That finances materials for your home nursing course or buying the yarn and flannel you are making up for SOL dier and sailors.
 It helps to pay skilled instruc- tors, who in turn train hundreds more volunteer teachers, who then train you and a thousand Mrs Browns down the street
