There's more fiction than truth In
the so-called "one-way suicide
epithet so frequently misused in
describing glider combat operations
according to Maj. William H. Taylor
battle-seasoned veteran of Burma
and France. who is one of the first
to return here from scene of the
Normandy invasion.
While the 33-year-old Mississip-
plan fits from continent to conti-
nent. his wife works in Washington
for the Federal Bureau of Investi-
CATION, and resides at 1913 Carroll
street, Takoma Park. Md. Maj
Taylor has been ordered here to
await new assignment.
Claiming that glider operations
are getting safer and safer" as our
men learn from experience, he told
a. Pentagon press conference late
yesterday that he would rather risk
his neck any, day in glider than be
on a landing barge. All glidermen
and paratroopers feel that way
about it, he claimed.
Maj. Taylor told how an American
glider pilot in Normandy killed IL
Germans single-handed and then
escaped from his captors on a
motorcycle and horse when his
gasoline ran out.
Flight Officer Rollin B. Fowler of
Bethany, Conn.,, landed his plane on
a strip under the cross-fire of enemy
mortars and automatic weapons. He
directed his men to a deep ditch
alongside the airstrip and sent a
scout ahead. The scout returned to
report a patrol of Germans ap-
preaching.
Reaching for a hand grenade
Fowler cautioned silence as the Ger
mans neared them and stood about
debating between themselves where
the Americans had gone. Then he
heaved the grenade. Five of the
Germans were killed Next, he let
go stream of bullets from his MI
carbine and four more Germans
dropped.
One of the enemy threw back a
grenade that landed in the ditch
and dazed the glider pilot. When
he opened his eyes he was looking
into the barrel of machine gun
American officer" he called out
Happy In capturing an officer for
identification purposes. they took
him to the nearby command post,
but proved their own lack of re-
sourcefulness by failing to search
him properly.
Inside the command post two
German officers considered the
question of communicating an auto
mobile and taking him to Paris
During their animated discussion
Fowler reached for an overlooked
grenade in his pocket and let it 90
The two Germans were killed and
he ran out of the door to find a
convenient motorcycle waiting out
side. Jumping on it, he made hasty
tracks out of there, only to run out
OF gas after a short distance. Then
he spied horse along the roadside
jumped on its back and galloped
away to rejoin the American lines
Forbidden from disclosing how
many gliders took part. in the Nor
mandy invasion, he did reveal, how
ever. that not single glider was
lost from the fire of our own ground
forces and relatively few from
crash-landings and enemy fire.
In Burma Maj. Taylor had COM.
manded the glider section of the
1st Air Commando Force under Col
Philip G. Cochran. That was the
first mass use of gliders in the
Pacific theater and was successful
/ throughout. He was called to Eng
land SO that the airborne units
might have the benefit of his prae.

To Mobilize
Spanish Vote
For FDR

New York. Aug. 19-Leaders of
Spanish-speaking people Of New
York City, representing 80 organi-
cations with some 100000 members,
started the ball rolling this week
on a campaign to swing the esti-
mated Spanish vote of two million
to the support of the Roosevelt
Truman ticket.
At a conference held at headquar-
tiers of the CLIO Natl. Maritime
Union, NMU President Joseph Cur
ran told the group that the invita-
ton to the meeting came properly
from the NMU because it had some
10000 Spanish-speaking members.
The policy of the union, Curran
said, had always been one of COM
plete unity of all nationalities and
this unity was best served today
by bringing out the vote for Pres
ident Roosevelt.
A subcommittee of Is was elected
to draw up a program of action to
be widely distributed.

Dewey Talks
Aiding FDR

New York, Aug. 19-The more
speeches Dewey makes, the better
are FDR's chances for reelection.
Fortunes magazines latest sur
vey discloses that Roosevelt's lead
rose to 8.6 points from SIS points
in the four weeks between July 8
and August 8. The public Is now
SIS per cent in favor Of q fourth
term, as against 43.9 per cent for
Dewey.
AS of July s. the Fortune survey
reported 49.2 per cent favoring
Roosevelt and AT per cent for
Dewey. Regardless of personal
wishes, TIA per cent of the public
now expects Roosevelt to win in
November. compared to 664 per
cent who felt that way early in
July.
Roosevelt's strongest support lies
In the 21-to-4 age group. a fur

main issues in the campaign.

important part. Regular discus
sion at auxiliary meetings of how
bills before Congress will affect
the people has done a lot to slim
ulate active participation of the
members in political action.
Our experience in Indiana dur
ing the past year has shown the
great value of auxiliary assistance
in political work. The women
served on the registration commit
tees" set up before primary day to
furnish the county clerks with
names and addresses of persons
willing to serve as registrars and
to get them appointed as soon as
possible.
PHONE COMMITTEE
On primary day one political
action committee had a phoning
committee, the chairman OF
which was an auxiliary member.
A crew of Is women CCIO and
ALL divided the list Of the
voters and called one after an
other, making sure they were
voting, making arrangements for
transportation to the polls, and
at the same time plugging the
labOr-endOrsed candidate. This
will be done again on NOvem-
Der I.
One of the essential campaign
activities is distribution of litera-
ture at plant gates and house to
house. The unions find auxiliary
women always ready to help. The
women know, too, that keeping
children busy and happy lowers de-
linquency. so many youngster is
found helping mother on distribu-
ton. Plans are being made TO use
many more teen-agers In the COM
ing months.

Frankensteen said that the larg-

II the auxiliary captain feels she

Union and auxiliary members
appointed registers before the pri-
mary were urged to keep list of
homes with boys in the armed
forces. Now they are returning
with ballot application cards, thus
insuring servicemen a chance to
vote in November.
CREDIT TO PAC
A lot of credit for these activ-
tiles should go to the Indiana
State PAC. Realizing the impOr-
lance of women i'm the election,
they asked representative of
the auxiliaries to be a member
of the State Steering Committee
and the State Executive Board,
