| British Officer Stresses
Air Needs in Pacific
By the Associated Press.

BY tire Associated Press.
Mai. Gerald wilkinson. who was
British liaison officer with Gen,
Douglas Macarthur on Corregidor
and also saw action at Java, en-
phasized yesterday 'the absolutely
vital Importance of air superiority
on the actual fighting front"
TT seemed to me that If one side
was equal to its opponent in sea and
land strength, but had the edge in
the air, that little margin of supe-
riority seemed not only able to re-
duce the other fellows air, but also
to deprive him of his land and sea
equality" he said in an interview on
the weekly War Department-spon-
sored Army radio hour.
"Our troops in Malaga were fight
ing in tropical jungles against an
enemy that had air and sea su-
periority from the start. Many of
our men had been from two to three
months on ships -.
The Japanese are sturdy often
sive fighters and their operations
were well conducted After their
initial successes, their morale must
have been fine - but that doesn't
mean that on equal terms the posi-
tions could not be reversed.
And I think that all of us who
were out there feel that when the
time comes for us to take the of =
fensive, given adequate air support
we shall indeed see great things"

this was source of happiness, h
tampering with radio set was hi
on deaf ears to this wireless fan;
he is one of few boys who sacrifices
the thrills of football and baseball,
other sports and games to work
alone in the attic on something that
meant more to him than his mother
and dad who ofttimes had to be-
come vehement in their commands
to come to dinner and go to bed.
Neighbors became quite used to
seeing Boyd come home holding an
old radio very carefully in his hands
and smiling very broadly at his sue
cess in finding another set to re-
make and get in good working
order.
Not being satisfied with tearing
up and rebuilding radios, this young
fellow built a transmitting set and
on one of his first trials sent a mes
sage to his grandmother visiting
relatives in Chicago. The message
was picked up and delivered to her
and great was the rejoicing there
fore.
He is a licensed amateur radio
operator and allegedly is one of
only two Negro licensed amateur
radio operators in the state of Min
nesota.
Bright and alert, about three
months ago Boyd noticed a call
from the Federal Government for
applications for Radio Junior Re-
pairman Trainee examinations. He
took the exam and after about six
weeks of anxious waiting, was
called to school to learn even more
about wireless instruments. When
he reported for training at East
High School, Minneapolis, on Au-
gust IA, he was the only Negro
and the youngest in his class. The
eight hours day required at school
necessitated Boyd giving up his
route as newsboy for the Mime
apolis Spokesman.
Another case of an avocation be-
coming vocation because the anna
teur operator is paid while in train
ing and with the consent of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. Boyd
Crawford, when his schooling is
completed he will be employable
by the Federal Government. So
now mother and dad look upon the
past four years of Boyd's life and
his tinkering with radios with much
more pride. 1t was always there,
the pride I mean, but they were
anxious that their son get out and
enjoy the things most boys like.
Now they say, and rightly so, he
just had a knack for it. Radio is
just in him.

Tough Sergeant Competition Nee
Whommo Sorts JoPs:
Puts Them i'm Z Piles
By ARTHUR BUGS" BAER

Tomorrow will end the of the contest for tough
Naturally there fierce scattered all over
the world
of the ashore in that Solomon tight with an
autograph book in fountain In the other
boys say Sergeant Whammo so tough that every
time he spits he breaks brick.
Well CHIMNEY Fadden of the Bowery used to do that But
nothing compared with Sergeant Roarsrum OF Kelly Field
The pictures Sergeant Roarstrum from Kelly Field In
dictate that he has the makings of reliable rufhan.
Here's his claim to greatness:
"When re-upped after my fourth hitch In the army In
1899 given from home to Kelly Field
Home to Is anywhere hang my hat And you can
by the pictures Of hat the side OF my head that
hang II a lump.
"Wel started from Chicago and. The way my ticket
called Pullman but too tough to sleep In upper
BERTH So had expensive insomnia which didn't
worry the government paying for 1t.
"As a concession civilization took of my boots and
put them In the Pullman aisle like the other
people do.
"And do you know when got out Of the berth In the
morning found that the porter had shned the socks.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-09-25

know that Sergeant Whammo is tough because when the
ashore Midway Island the Sergeant sorted them
with bayonet He put the big pile and the little
the other There wasn't much work to do there
weren't any big So the little pile the largest.
looks like the getting tougher the
goes along you the toughest your outfit want
you to send in the data.
We will have to take Whammo and Roarsrum in stride
Tomorrow will classify the sergeants date and make
guess at the probable winner.
