"When Schaetzel got in, his plane
was so badly shot up that we de-
cided to call it wreck. It was a
toss-up between his plane and Lee
Coats, which was also full of bullet
holes, but looking them both over,
we decided Schaetzel's was some
what the worse. We just had to

as spare-parts reservoir to keep
the other planes in the air. The

We needed everything, but most of

Group had lost two-thirds of its orig

we were now reduced to about a
dozen planes-about enough for de-

hopeful fact: of the two dozen odd
we had lost, only two-Colin's and
Jack Adams'-had been shot down
in combat by the Japanese. The
rest had been blown up on the
ground or, like Wheless' plane, had
been wrecked on the beach to save
the crew when it didn't have the
range to get home.
"And just about the time we were
adding up this score and wonder

ARMY TELLS 0FTRACEDY
 Al SICILY
Twenty-three U. 5. Trans. port Planes Shot Down
 by Allied Gunfire

| WASHINGTON, March 17.-Tht War Department confirms the loss of 40 American paratroopers in ac- tion over, Sicily when Allied ground Naval anti-aircraft gunners mis- took g United States transport planes for enemy ships and joined enemy artillery in shooting them down.
 ! The story was first disclosed by Sgt Jack Foisie, correspondent of the Army's overseas newspaper, the stars and Stripes, in an address Wednesday in San Francisco. Military censorship kept secret the action which occurred more than eight months ago, on the night of July 10-11, 1943.
 The transport planes were part of a flight in which 25O0 troops of the S2nd Airborne Division was flown into the Gela area.
 The flight arrived in the battle area immediately following an ene-- my bombing attack and while their flares were still in the air. The Army said: "A combination of cir cumstances involving the approach immediately in the rear of the hos tile bombing attack at night, at relatively low altitude, were the re- sponsible factors for the loss of the planes"
 Foisie in his San Francisco ad- dress said the planes were C-47s with IS paratroopers in each and they were 'knocked down by the Allied gunfire

despite our sympathies expressed through monetary aid when Finland was fighting her first war against the Russians, our conception of the real importance of Finland in the European war picture has been pretty hay.
 To most of us, Finland was mere ly a little country that paid it's debts, produced excellent musicians, athletes and ski troopers, and was addicted to those strenuous steam baths
 If that were all, courage to the contrary, Finland would never have meant much either way in the war Although there are only about B. 500,000 Films, the country in area is seventh largest in Europe.
 It's pretty reliably reported that the Nazis have kept about 100000 troops in Finland and they werenl
