MEET OUR
filters IN
NO. AFRICA
BY THOBURN WANT

4 CAIRO-Ten days of flying eat
ing and sleeping with American
filters in the western desert have
made me fairly glow with patriot
ism
I 1 am prouder than ever that I'm
an American after seeing our boys
and what they are doing They
are flying medium bombers which
are blasting enemy troop concen-
trations motor transport, tanks and
airports, thereby enabling the Al
lied ground forces to advance to-
ward the west. They are flying
| fighter planes which protect bomb
er missions that are scoring terri
| fic records in the destruction of
enemy planes.
Talk of the Desert
Their achievements are the talk
of the western desert, yet they are
modest and reluctant to talk about
what they have done. They prefer
to listen to swing records such as
Bling Crosby singing TN See You
in My Dreams" or Dinah Shore
grooming st Wanna Go Where You
Are"
All are young; their average age
is %. Col. Curtis Low, of Needham
Heights, Mass, executive officer OF
the bomber outfit with which I
spent several days, is 80 years old.
The men swear by him. AS an
operations officer. Col Low is en-
titled to stay behind the lines and
direct the activities of others. But
he isn't content to do just that.
The other day he went on dam
gerous bombing mission, flew into
heavy ack-ack and dropped eggs.
Some ack-ack knocked out his
right engine and he headed back
for landing behind our lines.
When he put the plane down, the
left tire hit a sharp stone and
blew out. But he brought her in
safely. American officers are like
that-always doing more than they
are supposed to do.
Morale of the boys met was
high. Captain T. s. CordilI, 36, OF
Los Angeles, who Is our Senior
Chaplain in the Middle East, told
me that they have no worries ex-
cept those caused by news in their
letters from home.
All Are Healthier
They are the healthiest bunch
I ever saw = rosy checked, tanned.
clear-eyed. Captain o. H. Akre, %,
OF Clarkfield, Mimi, flight surgeon
of one unit, told me the men are
healthier in the western desert
than in the United States.
All these boys have what it takes
to win wars.
l spent "a hours with eight fight
er pilots going out on dawn

brlefed-that is, we received in
structions about strafing the tar
get, an enemy airdrome.-

Glade Buck" Bilby, %, Of skid

Clark Gable of the Western Desert"
l got up at p. m. and ate break
fast with them as they talked about
the job they were going to do. It
was highly perilous mission, but
they discussed the last letters they
had received from home. We fin
ished breakfast and they took of in
a purple haze. An hour and a half
later seven came back. The eighth
had crashed in enemy territory.
We sat around the table and re-
viewed the mission. They didn't
say much about the eighth who
didn't come back Instead they
talked about blonde singer they
had heard in Miami, Florida.

at one meal or another you get the
following every day:
At least one serving OF lean meat,

one of the other vegetables, like DO

Unexpected Turn In
Gambling Probe Here
(NEA Telephoto)

An unusual turn came today in
the current county investigation Of
local gambling activities when
States Attorney william B. Fitz-
gerald disclosed the local Western
Union Telegraph company will be
charged with Is counts Of violating
the state statute on pool-selling by
transmitting wagerS. The charges
against the corporation grew out d.
rectly from the series of gambling
raids conducted here Aug. 20, by
city and state police and from the
subsequent probe, 1t was reported.
The concern Is charged with trans
hitting money to be bet on horse
races TO Union City, N. j., where
1t was handled by an agent, iden-
titled only as j. w. Donaldson.
Fifteen counts are based on its
alleged maintenance of place to
transmit the money and the 10 other
counts on that section Of Statute

cerned in Rrrying on the business
Of transmitting money to any race

Veteran lawyers of the city eX-

the first one in this city in which
a corporation faces criminal charg-
