~. S. NAVY NEEDS MEN FOR AVIATION
GROUNDWORK" SAYS FORMER OHIOAN

"Rebounding from the impact Of
the japanese Navy's surprise attack,
the United States Navy has proved
that it is ready" said Lieutenant
Commander Charles w. Hickernell,
former Ohio resident, "and one Of
the most important units Of our Navy
is its latest large division, the avia-
tion force.
$50 recent is the new air arm OF
the Navy that the majority of its
pioneers are still in the service" he
continued. "Its real start didn't
come until 1916, and the last World
War ended before this branch of our
fighting force grew beyond infancy.
To-day seven aircraft carriers ex-
tend the defensive boundaries of our
country two thousand or more miles
at sea, and construction on twelve
additional large carriers was begun
in 1910. With this increase in carriers
our Navy will have force of approxi-
mately 1000 Navy planes based on
ships, and current plans call for a
total of $4,000 more Navy planes to
be used for patrolling from bases, tor
training and as reserves"
The Navy has already established
four separate air stations to give in
struction in the work of aviation
metalsmiths, aviation ordnancemen,
aviation radiomen and aviation ma
chinists' mates, and the Navy needs
many more men to qualify for the
technical work necessary to "Keep

TOday's Personality
CALL TO ARMS IN SWING

THE UNITED STATES Coast
Guard is going TO have a new tune
to pipe to IL Red Norvo gets his
way.
Red is the genial and happy guy
who has his band as the principal
attraction at the San Diego Cafe
these days, but he is hoping that
his next engagement will be for
Uncle Sam.
Norvo, the swing master, is
waiting to find out if the govern
ment will enlist him and his small
sweet-swing ensemble in the coast
guard.
While he is waiting for the final
answer. Red and his boys are
whipping up little arrangements
which are guaranteed TO send even
the most unstable characters.
Recognized as one of the lead
ing xylophone players in the world,
Norvo has won nationwide popu-
larity as a kid with the hammers.
MILDRED, HIS WIFE
Married to Mildred Bailey, the
famous singer for 10 years, Norvo
found his large band practically
depleted when all the local draft
boards got through.
Reduced from IS members to z.
Norvo adopted the small ensemble
idea which is making swing his
tory. Mildred, his wife, went back
on her own, since she was only an
attribute TO a large organization.
ONCE WITH BING
Her brother was AL Rinker, one
of Bing Crosby's sidekicks in the
early Paul Whiteman days. II
was while Red was working for
Whiteman, incidentally, that he
met and married Mildred.
Every once and so often, he and
Mildred get together with Crosby
and go over some of those rou-
tines.
Born in Illinois in the center of
the corn belt, his early beginnings
are certainly no reflection on his
music. The Norvo address is New
York. somewhere between Harlem

New Air Warfare Chapter
Opened in Pacific Area
Mid-Poeifie Air Force Leoder Soys
Americans Fighting as One Teom'

General Hale disclosed that
Col. Roger M. Ramey, of Den
ton, Tex, led the Army bombers
on their long over-water mission
which leveled the ground de-
lenses on Wake, and commend
ed the pilots, navigators and
bombardiers for their fine
teamwork. k"
The general in his first inter-
view since being appointed to
r new command, said that air
forces will be the controlling
factor in the Pacific" and that
American forces "are fighting
as one team-Army, Navy and
Marines.
LONG, HARD JOB"
But he warned that the show
down is yet to come and that it
looks like a long, hard job"
1--WE are strong, but so is the
enemy he said. The Japanese
have real planes, manned by
real fighters who are highly
skilled and we'll trained"
Meanwhile the japanese are
to be kept guessing what is
coming next.
Our real punches" General
Hale declared, will tell their
own story as our Army-Navy
team delivers them"
He disclosed that one of the
actions in the southwest Pacific
had revealed the Japanese were
using women as warplane pilots.
He gave no further details ex-
cept to say that none of the
women pilots was captured.
JAP WOMEN SERVE
Prior to this, it was known
that Japanese women served as
gunner in warplanes and
there also have been other cases
of Japanese women in combat.
During the assault on Lingayen,
on Luzon Island in the Philip
pines, Japanese women in regu-
lation army uniform were used
in an assault against tanks.
Telling further of aviation's
role in naval warfare, General
Hale said:
eve know that airplanes can
sink battleships ami their only
protection is other airplanes. No
one will risk his carrier IN the
range of land-based aviation.
The Japs did it at Midway, but
didn't know they were doing it.
I think they didn't have the
slightest knowledge of what
they would run into. -"
The general told of reports
from Burma that the Japanese
were using wounded and ban
daged aviators to man their
warplanes, and explained how
the reports may nave original
ed. He said an enemy pilot with
the head bandaged and the
whole torso heavily tapped was
found in one of the zero fighters
which crashed during the battle
of Midway. Examination dis
closed that it was not a case of
the pilot having been wounded,
but that the head bandaging and
body tapping were similar to that
used by test pilots in power
dives to prevent unconscious
ness and to bind internal organs
or operations scars against rup-
ture in the extreme pressure re-
sulting from power dives.
