Paratroopers Spike
Fable Of Geronimo
Shouts Before Leaps
By the Associated Press.

do you still shout 'Geronimo?'"
Five of the toughest looking SOL
diers who ever scuffed wax OH the
floors of the Pentagon gave each
other looks of bored resignation and
the spokesmen of the group replied
that the tabled shout of the para
troopers was more fable than fact.
Sometimes, said First 1t. Fred E.
Perry, Dayton, Ohio, there's lot OF
yelling and back-thumping in a
plane Just before practice jump
to loosen taut nerves and get the
men psychologically set for STEP
ping out into thin air.
And once in while, he admitted,
particularly among new men, the
shouting may include Geronimo. I"
But the name of the Indian chief
is hardly habit among paratroop-
erS
Having disposed of that romantic
notion, however, the group was
through with disillusioning reporters
at a news conference yesterday. All
are veterans of at least II jumps,
all have made contact jumps,
and when 1t. Perry said their
first words to recruits were to
tell them that the paratroops were
the best outfit in the Army and
parartroopers the best soldiers, no.
body was disposed to argue the sub
ject-or any other subject.
1t. Perry himself has made %
Jumps, two of them combat, and
spent two weeks fighting behind the
German lines at Avellino in Italy
The other paratroopers were 1t
Henry c. Oliver, Townsend, Tenn,
who has made 10 jumps; Sergt
Brad Chalker Gibson. Ga, who has
three combat jumps in his total of
% jumps and has fought in five
major battles in North Africa and
Italy; Sergt. Eddie T. Bright, Paris,
Tenn. who has been in the Army
IA years and made 80 parachute
jumps, and Pfc. Robert N. Bandy
Carrollton. Ill, with II jumps, in
cluding two in combat, to his credit

First Woman Law Clerk
OF High Court Likes Her Job

When Miss Lucille Lomen started
work as law clerk to Associate jus
tice Douglas, she became the first
woman to serve in that capacity at
the Supreme Court.
So far as she knows, however,
her appointment was not designed
to establish q precedent, but was
based on the Recommendation OF
her college and university professors.
Nor had she met Justice Douglas
before her arrival here three weeks
ago to prepare for her duties, which
ofncially began yesterday.
Only a years old, she received her
law degree in May at the University
Of Washington, where five Of her
predecessors, who served one year
each with Justice Douglas, also
graduated.
Various court attaches hqreI
dropped In to "look her over" she
admitted. On the whole, however,
her presence has been accepted
calmly. Not q militant feminist,
she appreciates the appointment
most because there Is no finer OPP
portunity for q person serious about
law"
Wearing "a brown tailored suit,
Miss Lomen looked very efi1cient in
her book-lined ONCE at the court,
but the soft blue Of her blouse
brought out the blue in her eyes,
which have humorous sparkle.
She was born in Nome, Alaska,
where her father was in business
and where her grandfather, G. j.
Lomen, was q Federal Judge. II
was too much In awe of my grand
father to talk over my ambitions
with him, but I've wanted to be
lawyer since / was in the sixth
grade" she said.
Moving to Seattle when she was
in her teens, she received her B. A.
degree at Whitman College in 1941.
While attending the University of
Washington Law School she worked
80 hours q week in the deans ofIice,
but managed to get her law degree
in three years.
She saw the Supreme Court in
session for the first time yesterday

While drawing, he spelled out:

I stop at every corner
The patrol boy to obey"
Then all the high pitched voices
chimed in to repeat the poem.

The safety quiz which followed
the play started slowly, until Mr..
Mansfield asked: "One Of you good
Democrats answer this question. !"

Hands flew up and ready answers
proved the children well coached in
safety rules. Prizes of two movie
tickets were awarded on the stage.
Cries Of disappointment rose a.
the noon bell rang. Boys and girls
crowded up to the stage to get an
autograph, discarded cartoon, or q
pat on the back. Three 11-year-
old boys fought for the privilege OF
helping Mr.. Mansfield carry away
his equipment.
Nevertheless, Inspector Mansfield
anxiously asked the photographer
How did they like it?" And he
added: "I'n perfect it as I go from
school to school,"

Children Applaud Premiere OF Safety Play

A 10-year-old pinup girl, dubbed
Miss Sally Safety by her class-
mates at Janney School, yesterday
helped launch q new play-'Main
Street" which drew rounds OF
laughter and cheers from more than
100 children.
To Ann Timanus, 10, OF 1922
BrandyWine street NV. Cartoonist
Richard H. Mansfield, who pro-
duced" the play, said: "COme here,
sweetheart" He put his arm around
her and presented her the first prize
for correctly reciting the Sally Safe
ty rhyme In his play.
Nov every girl will want to be q
Sally Safety girl" said Inspector
Mansfield, former chief Of detectives
and assistant chief Of police. And
every little girl who watched the
safety chalk talk looked as though
she did.
Counterpart Of Santas
The premiere marked the opening
Of Inspector Mansfields second sea-
son Of graphic safety talks under the
sponsorship Of The Star, to Wash
ington's elementary and junior high
school students. And judging from
the children's enthusiasm and fan
mail, Ofncer Mansfield Is Santa
Claus counterpart.
Inspector Mansfield said that last
years traf1c record was "enviable. /"
Only five children were killed In
traffic accidents, the smallest num-
Der In many years, he reported. He
visited one or two schools every day
with his chalk talk OF School Safe
ty Diet" which has been replaced
with his original Main Street"
The hobby Of lecturing to save
children's lives which started "a
years ago has become q full-time
job-a work Of love to the retired
police officer. Much Of his time is
spent in answering piles of letters
from youthful admirers. "The girls
are fickle," he said with a hearty
laugh. They sign their letters
love and Kisses"
Talks as He Works.
Standing before large easel, Mr.
Mansfield swiftly creates his chalk
characters out Of letter, a teacup
or bicycle. while keeping up a
constant stream of chatter with q
| |life-saving moral: "You know
Bumpsy Daisy is q sad-looking girl,
because she is careless girl. She
