As you knotD, all Allied planes haze three

The other flights looked like school Of those
black and white tropical fish scurrying along.
We changed our course several times to avoid
rain squalls. Finally through the earphones, |
heard the bombardier say, "there II Ia up ahead"
Suddenly there was another roaring sound
above the motors and draught came through
the ship.

One of the planes in the lead group, the last
on the left slowly turned out of the formation
but under control and started back toward our
beachhead
There was a little town ahead Of us and as
! watched the lead flight, | saw them release the
bombs and then swing around in a wide left turn.
Over the intercommunications radio Shirley
was saying, Hold her as she goes"

The bombardiels voice interrupted my train Of

Town of Caen Obscured by Dust

There were many little tents with red crosses
marked all around them Obviously this strip was
primarily used for the evacuation of the wounded
by air.
Near the shore we could make out little white
diamond marks on the top of trucks Off to the
left was the town of Caen obscured by COM
bination of low clouds and dust rising from it,

was absolutely no traffic on the roads.
From the air the country looks very much like
England but the houses | noticed now Instead Of
having red or matched roofs, had mostly blue
stone or slate roofs, peculiar to French architec-
ture hereabouts,
Meister came forward and helped haul us into
our flaksuits and gave us our helmets.
ANY TIME NOW WE MIGHT BE SHOT AT
FROM THE GROUND.
The clouds kept forcing us lower We were
now only $500 feet up.
Friendly Fighters Patrol Skies
These are not our biggest ships but at this
altitude they make darned good target from the
ground, especially in groups of six, flying wing
tip to wingtip and nose to tail,
About us we gmpsed friendly fighter planes

another plane equally close.
At first wondered whether they were show

We finished crcng and now leveled off at
5000 feet. In a little while we passed around Lon

into view few minutes later
As rue approached it, could see hundreds OF

YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAX
Interest Deductions (Part 9

While interest paid or accrued during the year is generally deductt- ible from gross income for Federal tax purposes, certain interest pay ments are not allowable deductions.
 Interest is NOT DEDUCTIBLE when paid by taxpayer on behalf of another person If there was no legal obligation to make the pay ment. For example, interest paid on behalf of 8 relative to avoid the foreclosure of a loan would not be deductible, unless the taxpayer were liable for the interest under the terms of the loan Gas comaker or as indorser). In the absence of a legal obligation on the part of the taxpayer, such payments are re- garded in the nature of 8 gift to the person liable on the loan.
 Interest payable to 8 life insur- ance company for & policy loan is not deductible if the amount of the interest is simply added to the amount of the loan. Nor is interest deductible if 1t results from indebt- edness incurred or continued to pur- chase 8 single premium life insur- ance or endowment contract, includ- ing paid-up policies where substan- tially all the premiums are paid within period of four years from purchased. Interest on debts incur the date on which the contract was red to purchase or carry tax-ex- empt securities is likewise not de- ductible. Such loans include, in general, State and municipal bonds and certain obligations of the Unit- ed States. The only exception to this provision is the case of loans to purchase or carry tax-exempt ob- legations of the United States issued after September 24, 1917, to which the taxpayer was an original Sub- Scriber.
 Interest paid on a note. executed as Q gift, is not deductible, since much promissory notes are held to be @ mere promise to make 8 gift in the future, and not legal obliga. tion.
 To be deductible, interest must be paid or accrued during the year for which the return is made. If the taxpayer is on the cash receipts and est must have been paid during the disbursements basis, then the inter- year. Back interest, not paid and deducted in & prior year, would, however, be allowable in the yeaf actually paid. If the taxpayer is on the accrual basis, the interest must have accrued during the year. If, taxpayer and his creditor are. (a) at the end of the taxable year, the members of the same family, or (b) a stockholder and a corporation in which he owns directly or indirectly more than 50 per cent of the cor porate stock, or (c) Q grantor and a fiduciary of 8 trust, or (d) 8 fi- duciar wand beneficiary of 8 trust. or Gel fiduciaries of separate trusts created by the same grantor. ac- crued interest will be allowable only if the creditor is also on the accrual basis, or where the latter Is on the cash basis, if it is paid within two and ons-heif ~earAf-s efiS- ''>e end lOf

A previous order providing for $75O from the estate for the chil- dren's counsel fees and for sharing of a transcript of evidence was re- voked by the juriSt who said recent ly presented evidence discloses the children are not poor, as originally represented.
 "The previous order for assistance is revoked, Judge McEvoy said, be-. cause "there was no basis for the entry of such an order had the real facts been disclosed to the court" A special hearing was held Jan. 18 at the request of Attorney John H. Cassidy, counsel for the will executor, who claimed no evidence had been presented at the original hearing Dec. IS on the children's financial status. The order for counsel fees was issued on the basis of the December hearing.
 A motion presented by Attorney Cassidy for dismissal of the litigation was denied yesterday by Judge Mo Evoy when he handed down a de- cision on the financial conscientious. AS the issues stand at the present time the children will continue their fight to the high Hartford court but will have no assistance from the estate which they are seeking to acquire.
 The two minors were each left $1O0 from the $29,000 while the bulk was left to Edwin Atchison, brother of their father. Another son, Law renee, Jr., also was left $100 but did not appeal A jury on April g., 1943, broke the will, but Judge Mc- Evoy set aside the verdict, and then the children appealed to the su- prerne court.
 Judge McEvoy yesterday also de- nied motion to extend the time for perfecting the appeal. The chil- dren's counsel, Attorney Michael V. Blansfield, requested the court to extend the time to one month after the day the supreme court handed down a decision on several special appeal motions pending. Yesterdays superior court decision ill effect cancelled the special motions and no decision from the high court will 1 be necessary on them.
 The memorandum of Judge Mo- Evoy states that the children have $1,249.88 in the bank at the present time and that their guardian, Mrs. Marion AtchiSon, has an agreement with her lawyer that any services he renders will be reasonably compen- sated by her. Those two issues are given as the basis of the decision which denies financial aid to the two minors.
 The judge points out further that the guardian has withdrawn $656.87 from the children's funds and did not present statements on the bills due although given an opportunity to do so.
 Attorney Cassidy is counsel foI Lawrence Lewis, the will executor Attorney Harry Albert appears witt Attorney Blansfield as counsel fol the children.
 Attorney Cassidy's motion to dis miss the case stated that the chil- dren as minors have no legal au- thority to bring the suit themselves and pointed out that neither a guardian nor other person of full legal age appeared in their behalf.
