STATESVILLE, Oct. 12.-R)-
A declaration that the Democratic
party is "the best fundamentally
for good government in the Unit
ec States, and fully deserves the

the record of Thomas E. Dewey,

voters of the people, and added

most astounding campaign I have
ever witnessed. He is endorsing
every forward-looking move the
Democrats have made in the past
twelve years, and his only com.
plant is that Roosevelt is the lead.
err instead of Dewey, and his sole
theme seems to be endorsement OF
Democratic acts but put Dewey al
the head of the nation to boss the
job" Such a campaign, he further
declared, is mot entitled to the
support of any American either
who has the good of his nation al
heart"

By the Associated Press.
PIQUA, Ohio, May 20-Capt
Don S. Gentle came home tonight
to a hero's welcome that developed
into such unrestrained fervor that
women ripped pieces from his uni
form and tore the captains bars
from his shoulders.
The Mustang fighter pilot who
destroyed 80 enemy planes to become
the top American ace in the Euro
pean Theater had to force his way
through a throng that ignored q
driving rainstorm to hail his return
after three years at war.
He arrived by automobile from
Columbus. He flew there late in the
day from Washington in an Army
transport plane furnished personally
by Gen. Henry H. Arnold, command
er of the Army Air Forces.
Sirens steered him down Main
street to a little white cottage on
a corner where his father, Patsy
Gentle, and his 19-year-old sister,
Edith, waited.
Thousands of persons jammed the
neighborhood and as the escorted
motorcade came into view, let loose
roar that welled above the pound
ing rain.
Capt. Gentle, accompanied by
his mother, who met him Thursday
in Washington, climbed from his

rushed forward. They grabbed at
him and kissed him. Capt. Gentle
grinned warmly and tried to shake
hands. His father and sister lunged
forward and embraced him.
The little family group tried to
move toward the house. but the
crowd closed in and literally carried
the flyer toward the porch.
Edith was sobbing on her fathers
shoulder.
I've read about in books, I've
seen it in the movies. I never
thought all this could happen to
me-" she cried.
They made the porch and pushed
into the house. But there every
room was packed with relatives,
friends and townspeople. Women
still kissed the flyer and his face
became red with rouge.
Later, Capt. Gentle, exhausted,
smiled wanly and remarked:
Flying a plane over Germany is
a piece of cake compared with what
I went through tonight"
His hair was disheveled and even
his shirt was covered with lipstick
He moved over and placed his arm
around his mother.

Tells Of Byrd Letters
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star War Corresnondent.

NINTH AIR FORCE BASE,
England. May 20.-A weird, blue
mist forever covers residential
Paris. The erstwhile "city of light"
when seen from the air by day.
light bombers, is like dead spirit
rising through an indescribable
pink tinted fog.
All this is seen through a
strangely distorted mist. 1t seems
a mirage metropolis, floating in
cloudland.
Such is the description given by
Marauder crews after returning
from recent missions over the
Seine, especially over the Creil rail
yards 20 miles from Paris. They
avoid crossing Paris itself, if it is
not the target. On the other hand,
the industrial sections stand out
clear from the mist and pail, and
are not difficult targets.
Careful With Bombs.
In order to avoid damage to
French property, mo bombs are
dropped into the mist.
Several near-PariSs missions have
been flown by Maj. George Simler,

ball end, who is on his way to a rest.
camp after numerous sorties in the
oldest medium bomber group in the
European treater of operations.
Maj. Simler and his group re-
ceived Distinguished Flying Crosses
after returning on one engine from
the raid over Stomer. Once in q
bad fog he led a flight of bombers
against the Hasselt marshalling
yards on the Belgian-German border
without . fighter escort. On q day
when a heavy mist hung over Paris
he found himself flying beside the
Eiffel Tower, proving that 1t has
not been demolished by the Ger
mans.
He has bombed targets all along
the Atlantic wall from Igmuden,
Holland, on south.
Maj. Simler says that DR.. H. G.
Byrd. Maryland University presi-
dent, writes regularly to all College
Park men in the Air Forces, giving
news of the school and asking their
ideas on postwar developments.
Started Letters Year Ago.
DR.. Byrd told The Star yesterday
he conceived the idea of keeping
in touch with Maryland University
men in the armed forces more than
year ago.
After his first letters were given
an enthusiastic" reception, Dr.
Byrd recalled, he started to write
to the various men on an average
of once week and has continued
the practice ever since.
Only News for Some.
Many of those to whom I write, :"
he said, tell me my letters are
sometimes the only source of infor-
nation of what is going on here"
In addition to giving news of the
school, DR.. Byrd explained, he asks
his correspondents what they want
the university to give them when
they get back"
There is lot of foolish talk
about postwar educational develop
ment in this country" he said,
when what we ought to do is con-
suit those affected and ask them
what they want"

Patsy, who had promised free
