protested the bombing of German
cities.
The P 'oper Attitude =.
Taking the cue. the Eighth AR
Force asked its combat men to
remove from the planes all the
names that were brutal or OBJ
noxious, since they did not reflect
the proper attitude toward the
seriousness of their task.
Thus such names as Murder
er's Row. ''ulture,' ''Hesitatin'
Hussy" and "Sweaty Betty were
out, no matter if they had made
headlines back home because of
the heroism of their crews on
raids.
On the other hand, Air Force
officialdom cast an approving eye
on such selections as Dear Nom
"Superstitious Aloysius,' pride
of the Yankees "You Buy EN-,
Well Drop EN- "Pin-up Girl"
"First Love- Pride of Brook
lyn," "Reilly's Racehorsa ''Dal-
las Revel,' "Grumlin' Gremlin,"
San Antonio Rose "Goering's
Nightmare "Picklepuss,' 'Lus-
cious Duchess winnie the
Pooh,'' and "Mr. Smith ESQ
called for all the Smiths in
America}.
The question of the alluringly
painted nudes was left to the dis
erection of the commanding Off
GERS of bomber groups. Since bois-
ferrous names were abolished, most
of the cos felt that modesty
should apply in this case, too
so CT artists started painting
"undies" on the femmes. A little
more apparel was needed for
pistol Packia Mama" who wore
only broadbrimmed hat, a
couple of pistols, gloves and
boots.
To check up on the names, a
sort of Will Hays procedure was
set up. Fortress groups were in
structed to submit lists of bomber
names to their division public re-
lations officer. If the PRO,
acting in the capacity of a censor,
felt that tn names were con-
trary to the cleanup order. he re-
quested that they be changed.
Capt. E. ]. bud" Huber, a
division PRO. and Boston ad-
vertising man in peacetime, ex-
pressed belief the cleanup was
zone of the best things we ever
did,"
"There are plenty of nice names
to choose FROM he said. ''It' S
much better to have a name that
conjures UP a pleasant or ro-
mantle thought and really means
something, A lot more pilots are
now calling their planes after
wives or sweethearts."
The captains nominations for
worthwhile names include:

DSR Ills
Studied

DSR commissioners today began
an investigation TO determine
what other cities were doing IN
the way Of postwar transporta-
ton. but remained split over
whether an expert" should be
hired TO solve Detroit's problems.
Samuel Gilbert, president OF the
commission. reiterated his stand
that an expert like Robert Moses,
New York City superintendent OF
parks, be hired to make postwar
plans for transportation.
I'VE hired experts to tell us
why we had 80 many DSR acci-
dents recently, although i think
they were largely coincidental
with the weather." said Com
missioner Frank Rising. "After
months of investigating they
have come through with little
or nothing. Why can't we think
out these postwar plans our
selves?"
The commission also approved
settlements of $500 to Mrs
Louis Brazil, 2S. of 312 Polk,
