men when 4 B-26 starting out with
them and several others for Aus
tralia. crashed on the take-on.
1t. Seffern was said to be the only
pilot who had bailed out success
fully from speedy B-26.
There was twist of irony to their
deaths because together they had
survived many dangerous combat
nissions-only to die on what vir-
tually was civilian flight.
Other Crash Victims.
Other victims of the crash were:
1t. Lee johnson Of Warren, Ohio;
1t. Charles Humble Of Beverly,
Calif.: 1t. Antonio Morales of Del
Rio, Tex; Sergt. Peter McGinn of
Sterling. ILL.,, and Sergt. Robert Jor-
dan Of Malone, Tex.
The crash occurred January 10,
the day after I arrived here, but
the announcement was withheld
pending notification Of the flyers
next Of kin.
I watched the spectacular flames
Of the wrecked rlane from q mile
away. unaware that Its. Hatch and
sefern. my especial friends, were
aboard.
1t. Seffern long had served as 1t.
Hatch's co-pilot and I was SefYern's s
passenger on hts first plotting trip.
That was last August 7 when We
got lost In Z storm In Eastern
Papua and all bailed out.
First Complete Bsilsut.
1t. Seflern told me later that that
was the first time the entire crew
bailed out d q B-26. Previously
Marauder pilots remained with their
ship and attempted a crash landing.
It. Sef7ern said on that occasion
he was able to set the planes auto
matte pilot by himself and jump
out. It had always been regarded
as impossible. he pointed out, for q
B-26 pilot to set the automatic pilot
without some one In the nose 10

them II they failed to win the war
for Adolf Hitler. This is it:
HE warned them that they would
be forced to learn English and that
English spelling is very difhcult."
Herr Doktor Goebbels evidently
thought that the mere mention Of
such q possible fate would nerve
the NaN nation to deeds Of desper-
alton to avoid 1t. But he was play
ing with fire. It's one thing to at
tempt to steel nation 10 deeds of
desperation. It's another thing to
touch on a terror that. fully re-
yealed. would cause national panic.
It's the notion in this corner that
. committee of propagandists from
oxford. Cambridge, Harvard and
Yale should take up where Herr
Doktor Goebbels left OF and, aim
ing the dread words at the German
people, expose the full horror at
which Goebbels merely limited.
Let the oxford dons and the I.ar-
ward deans 60 on the air and pour
the truth about English spelling
and pronunciation over the heads
OF the shuddering Nazis. It will
slay 'em. In blind panic they will
lump out OF various windows, toss
themselves into the Rhine md The
Weser. throw themselves into lskes
like Jennings rushing headlong in
to the sea.
The Awful Issue
OF course, the English speaking
nations use such spelling and pro-
nunciation with impunity. BY heri-
tage they are hardened to it. Ihe
British and their sturdy cousins Of
the great free commonwealths of
Canada. Australia aud South Africa
are brave folk and stubborn folk.
To the manner born, they face the
awful issue of this spelling and
pronunciation and relentlessly n:ud-
die through.
Nor are we OF the United States
OF retreating nature in the face
OF difhculties. 1t was Kipling who
sang OF the American
He greets tn embarrassed Gods, nor
fears
To grasp the iron hand of fate.

That spirit is not to be baffied
and driven from an inherited field

Fuel Oil A|Iotments
Designed 10 Offset
Normal Winter
oPA Figured Rotions
Mindful Of MiIdness
Of 194l-42 Season

Even though it has been colder
this winter than last, fuel oil con.
sumers have not been penalizec
under the Once of Price Admins
tration formula Of making ration al
lotments..
When the third heating period
epded last night. weather charts dis
closed that 50 far this season it has
been 8 per cent colder than it was
during the same period in l94l-42
The fact that fuel oil allotments
were based partly on consumption a
year ago has led to q widespread be-
lief that consumers were not get
ting as much oil as they should in
view OF the colder weather this
season.
16% Added to Rations.
The fact Is, though, that when
the OPA devised its formula, it took
into consideration the fact that the
weather last year was considerably
warmer than the normal tempera-
lures in this area, and an adjust
ment was made. In working out
allotments, Is per cent was added to
the 194l-2 consumption before the
Yations were calculated. This
brought the consumption figure up
to what 1t would have been in
'1S4l-42 II the weather had been
normal-or Is per cent colder than
It actually was.
: As result, fuel oil consumers
theoretically are a little ahead of
the game and should have been able
TO save part of their oil. Unless, of
eourse, they haven't been able to get
Any In the first place.
/ Coupons Of Two Periods Valid.
/. So far, homes heated by oil
thould have used IS per cent Of the
total ration for the season, minus
whatever quantity must be set aside
for hot water heating during the
summer months. The hot water
allotment is figured on the basis OF
!3h gallons for the first person and
Sh gallons for each additional per-
son for each month.
Although the third heating period
ended last night. coupons for period
four became valid q week ago, and
period three coupons will remain
valid through February q. Although
originally set up to govern the
validity dates Of the coupons, the
heating periods have now become
mere theoretical divistpnx OF the en-
tire heating season.

LONDON (By maiD I'm an Eng
lish seaport city around which many
American colored troops are in
camp, the American Red Cross has
taken over as club house for these
men one Of the finest old mansions
in the city.
Although the club is open to SOL
diers of any creed or color. its local
ity is such that most of the patrons
are of the colored race and they
must feel a peculiar satisfaction as
they walk over its polished floors
and push through its heavy mahog-
any doors.
For the house was built by one of
England's greatest early 18th cen
tury slave traders out of the profits
from his nefarious business Now it
is a place Of entertainment for the
descendants of the very unfortu-
mates he sold into servitude.
The heavy mahogany doors were
looted from the New World palace
Of some Spanish grandee, for the
slave trader did not hesitate to do
a little buccaneering on the side.
His blood Is extinct now while that
OF his victims is as vigorous as ever.

The old home has played a big
part in keeping up the morale Of

chill of an English winter. Director
George w. Goodman of Hartford
Conn. has developed it into a
smooth-running hotel.
All soldiers, of course, are well

showed, for example, a Jewish boy
from New York, Korean who
joined the Army from Virginia, Jong
Wee from Huntingdon, West Va,
and cowboy from Montana, as well
as about a dozen colored boys on
leave.
Program director Henrine Ward
of Chicago tells about q big HAL
loween party held at the club. In
some way they got hold of three
enormous American pumpkins, IT,
70 and 81 pounds, respectively. These
arrived from London in wire baskets
packed in straw and caused much
interest among the local residents
who were not familiar with this
type of vegetable. Folks came from
miles to see the lighted pumpkin
faces.
The English club cook had to
learn how to make pumpkin pie.
She also has learned how to cook
hamburgers and make excellent
coffee.
A Portuguese sailor walked into
the club the other day and asked
where he could get . prayer book.
She provided him with . small Army
testament.

getting into trouble. Why do l
always do wrong and not mind what

Flemish Word for Car
Is Two Good Mouthfuls

Just about the longest word in
the world is 'tsnelpaardelooszoon-

is a Flemish word meaning auto
mobile.
The etymology is "snel," rapid;
"paardeloos," horseless; "zoon-
deerspoorweg," without rails;
"petrolirijtuig," driven by petrol.
What a contrast this word is to
our own abbreviation "car"! AS
