AT A UNITED STATE S
HEAVY BOMBER BASE SOME
WHERE IN INDIA, Mar. 20
The morale at this listed States
heavy bomber base is SO high
that the men fight for a chance
to go on combat missions, says
Captain William B. Hood, AZ
year-old chaplain from Char
lotte, N. c.
They would rather miss a
meal than miss a mission" Hood
declares. IF their name is not
in the list of those assigned to
go out, they beg me to go to bat
for them
Double Check
Hood says the commanding Of
ficers here found it necessary to
lay down rules against the men
accompanying the missions with
out definite orders. Medical Of
ficers have doubled physical
checkups because many filters
neglected to report ailments that
would prevent them from getting
another crack at the japanese.
Hood probably knows more
about the young Americans out
here than any one else. They
talk to him freely about every
thing.
Fliers' Confidant
Chiefly responsible for the high
morale, he says, are excellent
food, regular mail from home,
and high caliber officers.
The chaplain rarely misses a
chance to say few words to the
men before they take off on
missions. He also has habit of
writing a line of Scripture on
the bombs.
The line is always the same:
Whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap"

Story Reveals How
Sparky Casteel Became
"Missing' In Pacific

A story coming from somewhere in
New Guinea, published in last Fri
days daily papers establishes the
fact that Lieut.. Carroll W. "Sparky"
Casteel, who has been missing since
August II, was on the same plane
that carried Vern Haugland, Associ-
ated Press war correspondent who
wandered as days in the Jungle after
bailing out. The pilot of that plane,
Lieut.. Duncan Seffern, reached an
Allied base after 20-day jungle trek
The story, by Vern Haugland him
self, states that from Lieut.. Scffern's
plane, two of the crew are still miss
ing, Lieut.. James Michael, of Temple,
Okla, who was the co-pilot, and Lieut.
"Sparky' Castcel, of Oakland, the
navigator.
An editors note states that the U.
S. Army plane was flying in a dis
trcsscd condition from Australia to
New Guinea and the crew members
and passenger Haugland took to their
parachutcs somewhere over New
Guinea.
Haugland had just seen Lieut.. SET
fern and five other airmcn killed in
January, when a BIG, starting out
with them and several others for Aus
tralia crashed on the take-off. That
crash brought back reminders of his
trip with Seffern last August and in
his story disclosed who some of the
other members of the plane were on
that Inflated trip.
This is the first definite news that
has come back to Oakland regarding
Casteel. Notification to his mother,
Mrs. Margaret Casteel, merely stated
he was missing in action"
