Lieut.. r. B. Kelly; they'd sent him
over on courier duty. He was look
ing pretty grim. When / asked him
about these rumors concerning the
air corps, he said it had practically
been annihilated-we only had six
P-40's left, and that was why every
thing was going to hell. The Japs
had wiped out Clark and Nichols
Fields and also Iba, except for few
scattered planes. Also they had
got seven of the navy's fourteen
PBY's-clipped them off neatly
when they had landed for gas. One
of them had been the navy plane
which hit Colin Kelly's battleship
before he finally got 1t.
"Yet / couldn't see how they had
done it, until a few days later when
they began moving patients from

dor. In the cot on my left was a
Texas kid, pilot from Clark Field.
On the other side was an Ohio pilot
from Iba. Texas was pretty sick,
so the first night l shot the breeze
with the Ohio boy. He said he'd
been shot down the second day Of
the war. His squadron had been
circling, looking for Jap planes
which the listening devices had
picked UP out at sea, heading in
from the direction of Formosa.
They'd been up all morning, were
almost out of gas, so decided to land
and refuel. The first plane came in
all right, but the second overshot the
field. His plane was the third, and
he said as he put his wheels on the
ground a load of bombs crashed
down out of the clouds onto the 9TH

er end of the field. Of course he
poured the soup into her and took
off. He tried to gain altitude and
headed for Nichols Field, when sud-
denly a fight of Jap fighters popped
out Of the clouds. He turned and
headed right for the center of it,
but when he pressed the button only
one Of his six guns would work
the rest were damned. He said
don't ask him why-ask the guys
who designed them or installed them
or serviced them. His job was just
to press the button, and he'd done
that. There he was with two Zeros
on his tail, filling him full Of holes
they were explosive bullets, too; he
had gashes all over where he'd been
nicked. He said he dived into a
nearby cloud and managed to
shake them, but then his motor be-
gan to sputter-had been almost out
of gas when the attack started, and
the Jap bullets in his tanks had
spilled the rest. So he headed her
nose down out Of the cloud, and as
luck would have it spotted an emer-
gency field. But his wing tip hit a
tree and the plane cracked I'D,
mashing in all the bones on the right
side Of his face. He'd spent week
in a native hospital on a bamboo
bunk without the bones set, and now
he could only humble to me out
of the left corner of his mouth.
'The next day Tex on the other
side told me his story. He was also
a fighter pilot and his squadron had
been at Clark Field-fying all morn
ing. They'd come down to gas the
planes, and the pilots were sitting
around on the wings or in their cock
pits, waiting for orders to take off.
when suddenly there was a big bang
and the plane he was sitting in
seemed to Jump about forty feet in
the air, and then pancaked back
with its wings folded over the cock
pit. The Japs had popped out of a
cloud and let them have it. He
crawled out unscratched, but he
said for half an hour everything was
in the widest confusion-the Japs
circling above, blowing those
grounded planes around like pop
corn in a hot skillet.
'The dope on the listening devices
seemed to be, he said, that they had
picked up the Japs hundred miles
at sea, followed them in all right,
but then lost when they were fifteen
miles off the coast.
"But somebody decided the Japs
must be heading for Baguio. and

fast should supply almost third OF

A slight breakfast will prevent you
from waking up fully-and thus
starting to realize your full quota
of production whether you're on the
home or factory front. But, treat
the first meal of the day with the
same respect you do the other two,
and you find yourself refreshed and
more than ready to do your job
and do it well.
If you're still in doubt about the
value of a good breakfast, look at
breakfasts fed servicemen. Do you
think they could get up and do their
work if it weren't for fruit, cere-
ais, eggs, toast or hotbread and
beverage for their first fare of the
day? No, ma'am.
Breakfast affords a grand chance
for you to get your vitamin b.
that important morale vitamin
which prevents nervousness and
restlessness. You need this vitamin
every day-and its best sources are
whole grain cereal and bread-and
yeast.
On warmer days, serve oatmeal
or whole wheat cereal, on cooler
days, use the enriched, ready-to-eat
cereals which are unrationed. When
the berries and fruits start coming
in, use a few of them with the cere
ais for a delightful breakfast dish.
Breakfast is a good way to take
care of the citrus fruit requirement.

There is hardly weed left on the

thumb among the rows of neatly

of peas and corn and leaf vegetables

the poles of an Indians tepee, for
the lima beans to climb on.

New Air Service
To West Given
Washington
Three Companies
Win Extensions
Of Present Lines

Recognizing that the Nations Cap
ital is one of the fastest growing
large cities in the country. the Civil
Aeronautics Board today granted
permits for new Washington routes
to three major airlines. The effect
will be to improve and expedite
Washington air transportation for
passengers and cargoes to and from
Western terminals.
The new route given United Air
Lines from Toledo. Ohio, to Wash
ington, establishes for the first time
service by that airline between
Washington and Chicago and points
West as far as San Francisco. Port
land and Seattle.
New Routes Granted.
The new route granted Trans.
continental and Western Air. Inc,
between DAYTON and Washington via
intermediate terminals at Columbus,
Ohio, and Wheeling, w. Va, enables
TWA to provide service on its own
aircraft between Washington and ST.
Louis and points West as far as San
Francisco and Los Angeles. MANY
OF the proposed schedules by United
Air Lines and TWA provide for one
plane through-service.
Eastern Air Lines have been grant,
ed a new Washington route which
extends Eastern's present route from
Louisville, KY, to Washington via
Frankfort Lexington, KY, and
Charleston, w. Va, and will enable
that airline to operate a one e-plane
through service between ST. Louis
and Washington through Indiana,
Kentucky and West Virginia.
Service on these new routes will
become effective as soon as the
airlines can reshuff1e their schedules
so as to provide the necessary air.
craft
When these routes are actually
established, it will be the first time
that United Air Lines and TWA have
flown their own aircraft into the
National Airport on regular public
routes. Their passengers have here
tofore been transferred to planes
operated into Washington by Penn
sylvania Central Airlines and by
American Airlines.
Up TO the present there has only
been one route operating directly
west out of Washington-Amer
Airlnes Washington to Chicago run.
This air transport link has been
vastly overlooked by travel demand
and the western routes in and out
of Washington have been far made
quate.
IN the same order granting these
three applications, the board denied
an application of TWA for service
between ST Louis and Washington
via Evansville Ind; Louisville and
Frankfort Lexington, KY. and also
between ST. Louis and Dayton via
Evansville, Ind: Louisville. Frank
fort-Lexington, KY, and Cincinnati,
Ohio.
Pointing out that Washington has
produced more air-passenger traffic
than any other city in the country
except New York and Chicago, the
board said:
There Is no reason to believe that
it will not continue to maintain that
rank as an air traffic producing CEN
ter. AS the Nations Capital. WASH
lngton is unique among all cities in
the country in that it has daily deal
lngS with every city and town in the
Nation. affecting every citizen.
Washington's community of interest
perVades the entire United States.
The future Of air transportation to
and from Washington lies in a
recognition of the fact that the city
does occupy this unique position
