Earl Johns, 22-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. William E. Johns, Route
1, Kennewick, for Is lombard.
ment missions over Continental
Europe before the invasion, has
been announced by Ninth Ali
Force Headquarters. 1t. Johns
is both pilot and co-pilot on one
of the Ninth Air Forces Big
Marauder bombers now operating
in close support of the ground
forces on the Western Front:
The Kennewick officer was
cited "for extraordinary achieve
ment while serving as a co-pilot
on B-26 airplane on Is bonn
bardment missions over enemy &C.
cupied Continental Europe. 1t
Johns showed fine sense of CO.
operation plus undaunted bravery
in the unflinching performance
of his duty. Many of these mis-
sions were accomplished under the
most hazardous conditions. The
services of 1t. Johns reflect great
credit on the Military Forces of
the United States"
Lieutenant Johns has made 81
missions as co-pilot and twelve as
pilot since last September. In
November of last year he returned
on single engine from Calais
and had to belly-land. On a re-
cent mission to Caen, one engine
was shot out by flax, but he
piloted the Marauder back to base
without any accident. He has
been to Schipol twice, and on in
vasion day made two missions
against the enemy, one early in
the morning just a few minutes
before the first troops landed in
France, and the second later in
the afternoon of D-Day.
''We really got good overall
picture of the invasion on the
second mission" he says, 'from
the little landing crafts on the
beach to the great battleships
throwing shells into the Germans. /"
Before joining the army March
IL, 1912, 1t. Johns worked for
the Washington Hardware and
Furniture Co., in Kennewick. He
was commissioned January Ia,
1913, and promoted to LIST 1t.
in April, 1914. He has the Air
Medal and z Oak Leaf Clusters.

American Airmen Guided
Home on Skywoy Highways
Radio Beom Sends Our Code sisnoIs,
EnobIes Pilot to lond in Bad Weather

DODGE CITY, Kan.-W.P)-
Army pilots can travel from the
Dodge City Army air field to
India, Africa, China, England or
South America over we'll
marked highway that is visible
day and highland through
drowning rain, lowering fogs
and swirling snowstorms.
Pilots say they are riding
"home on the range" or being

signals emitted from radio rang
es that mark these anyways. The
pilot sees this highway" with
his ears as we'll as his eyes, for
he follows a described route at
any time, under any conditions,
merely by listening TO the chirp
in his earphones.
Under normal conditions and
in good weather, Marauder B-26

purposes, but they are in con-

I aid except in emergencies and
bad weather.
Recently, larger number of
students were flying near Dodge
City when the weather suddenly
closed in, SO that the pilots could
not see the ground. The pilots
merely Tipped a switch on their
radios and rode the beam safely
into the field. But at one time
such an occurrence probably
would have caused the loss of
several planes and crews.
In operation of radio beam,
signals are emitted along a pre-
determined course. On one side,
for width varying from 10 to
20 miles, the signal is radio code
for the letter IA dot and a
dash. On the other side the sig
nal changes to an ma dash
and a dot. Air traffic usually
proceeds to the right of the
beam.
The pilot can tell exactly how
far he is from the center of the
highway by the intensity Of
the signals. When he's riding
exactly down the center, he gets
a continuous signal, as the "a"
and m blend into one constant
tone.
In addition to beam stations,
there are fan markers and radio
beacon markers along the route
that throw a vertical radio sig
nal straight upwards. At the
exact moment plane passes ov-
er one of these markers, a series
of long chirps is heard in the
earphones and a light flashes on
the instrument panel. Both the
radio beam and the fan markers
break their regular mechanical
chipping to identify themselves
with individual call letters, so
pilots may know exactly which
beam is guiding them and what
marker they have passed.
Radio range stations, operated
by the Army Anyways Commun-
ications System, reach to the
farthest corners Of the world.
They have been built in the Aus
tralian bush, where heavy fenc-
es protect them from kangaroos.
Native laborers helped install
ranges in the rice paddles of In
dia and China, hauling ultra
modern equipment in crude bull
ock-draWn carts. ESkimos
sometimes quit work on range
stations because the weather was
too cold for them.
But without these facilities
that help maintain the flow of
fighter and cargo planes to the
men at the fronts, flying would
indeed be hazardous. Instead,
Army aircraft, taking off every
minute of every hour of the day
and night, can fly safely to their
destinations along the invisible
but audible highways" in the
sky.

Day of Careless
City Planning
Reported Over

Piecemeal community planning
along with auctioned lot sales, COW
trail street layouts, haphazard real
estate development and similar
practices have about had their day
in this country.
This is the conclusion reached by
the Community Builders Council of
the Urban Land Institute at their
national conference at Columbus,
Ohio, this week.
The partial report of the councils
findings was made today by Seward
II. Mott, recently appointed director
OF the institute, upon his return
here from the conference.
Representing leading community
developers from all sections of the
country, the council, under the di-
rection of j. C. Nichols, prominent
Kansas City realtor, devoted two
days of intensive study to postwar
development problems.
Supplementing agenda drawn
largely from the institutes recent
national survey ON postwar urban
planning, council members presented
reports of planning progress, pro-
grams and trends in their own Sec
tions. thus giving roundup report
OF national Developments.
These reports will be compiled by

Many of the most urgently needed

most entirely of brick and tile and
other noncriticaI materials. With
the slackening of the war housing
program, large quantities of these
