STAFF SGT. CLIFFORD MISSING IN ACTION
Said Not To Have Returned From Early March Raid Over Germany

Staff Sergeant Victor H. Cliff ford of the US. Air Corps is re- ported missing in action according to advice from the War Depart ment.
 Whether Clifford was shot down or made a prisoner after forced landing is apparently not known. Neither the brief telegram nor con- fir1ning letter received by Mrs. Clifford from the war department furnishes any information other than to state he had failed to re- turn from an air bombardment over Germany on March 6.
 Clifford enlisted as an air cadet January 15, 1943 but shortly thereafter was assigned to train ing for an aerial gunner post and was serving in that capacity on an American Flying Fortress operat- ing from an English base at the hour of his disappearance.
 Prior to his embarkation for gland from Newfoundland, Sergant Clifford had had training at Nashville, Tennessee; Lowry Field, Colorado; Syite, Texas; AL exandria, Alabama; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Kearney, Ne braska. He received his appoint ment as a Staff Sergeant just be- fore starting his last mission.
 Although a native of Windsor, Sergeant Clifford's family have resided here for the past three years and are we'll known locally. Mrs. Clifford and their year old daughter live with his mother on Mills Lane.
 Herman Hoxie of Windsor, with whom Sergeant Clifford trained at Alexandria, Alabama, was a guest at the Clifford home last week.

see a lawyer?
Judith had said nothing about
divorce. Yet what else could it
mean, the delay and silence?
Early in January, Matthew met
an attractive young divorcee, a Mrs.
Mason, who was a clever, sleek,
career woman. He encountered her
first at the home of a patient. when
he dropped in one late afternoon,
and later found himself taking her
home. She lived on Sutton Place,
alone. She asked, driving there with

heard all about Judith, ten minutes
after meeting Matthew, after she
had succeeded in detaching herself
long enough to make a few inquiries
Of her hostess.
Now and then they went to the
theater or dined together. Gwen
Mason was very attractive. She
liked him.
Toward the end of January, Gwen
came to dine with Matthew at the
apartment. Nils served, disappro~-
ingly, and Olga shed tears in the
kitchen. They had been given the
evening off, after dinner. Olga said,
Il knew she wasn't coming back"
They looked at each other in horror.
Gwen had red hair and dark eyes
and she wore black alluringly.
Il hope,' said Matthew smiling,
that I'm not called out tonight"
81 hope so too," said Gwen.
Funny how little they had to say
to each other. The silence was not
that Of lovers or potential lovers,
but of awkwardness.
Some time after dinner, Gwen
murmured, perhaps l made a mis-
take or did you?" And when
Matthew asked, What do you

regarded Judith's picture on tbs

there, "Ill take a taxi. No, don't

and it might have been more fun"
She gave him her cool, firm hand.
