Broken Legs Fail to Donpen
Veterans S Feryor for GIiders

The grin Of the fabulous Mike
Murphy is like lift on the tug line
for the Arnny's glider men, whether
they're headed into q fight or a
frolic.
Every rookie knows 1t was Mike
who led the long sky train that
whistled down on the gun-studded
hedgerows of Normandy just before
dawn on D-day.
Mike had said they could do 1t,
even when the going was toughest,
and this was the first big test. There
was no stop, conductor" when the
first element Of SIS CG-4s heavy with
fighting men, guns and jeeps cut
free in five minutes and started

Despite high trees, narrow fields
and darkness, the gliders swooped
in together to battle the NaNs. The
gunners, like green bird hunters,
shot at the whole flock without try
ing to pick out the singles.
They almost got 1t. Col Murphy,

one of Americas greatest acrobatic
flyers, but not quite. Injured, Mike
returned to this country as much to
train glider troops as to recuperate.
A former director of glider school,
ing at Laurinburg- Maxton IN. c.
Army Air Base, Col. Murphy was in
a hospital when he heard of the
air-borne maneuvers in North Caro-
lima.
1t took more than two broken legs
to keep him away from the show,
even If he did have to stand on the
side lines.
( Forgot His Injuries.
4 Leaning on a cane, the sandy
haired, grinning colonel watched
with pride while 'his boys" ground
into a rough, pine-studded, weed
grown field with speed and split
second timing. Sometimes Mike got
so excited he waved his cane and
tottered on legs still incased in
plaster casts.
/ CT Joes as well as pilots knew
him as Mike, former sky writer.
daredevil, stunt flyer and interna-
tional acrobatic champion.
He used to snatch handkerchiefs
off the ground with wing hooks, or
skim air show fields flying upside
down. In 1889, 40 and Al he won
the American acrobatic champion
ship, along with an international
1 championship in Cuba.
A pioneer in the development OF
the Army Air Forces glider pro-
gram, Mike joined when the morale
was low. The public believed that
gliders had been washed out" and
their pilots grounded before they
killed themselves. Some youngsters
were wondering If they could be
proud of the their silver wings with
the &c" in the center.
He Changed Things.
Soon after Mike arrived, said
major, I'VE quit hiding our wings.
Before we knew it we were shining
them up and throwing our chests
out"
About a year ago Gen. Henry H.
Arnold. chief of the AAF, went to
North Carolina with members OF his
staff to see how the glider program
was making out. At 5000 feet

exclaimed: "Wcll I'll be damned !,,'
Mike also landed q, group OF air
borne infantry in Lees Mil Pond

to It's wings and allowed the foot
soldiers to swim ashore and emerge
as q wet but effective team, mad
enough to fight their weight In
wildcats.
Glider men have carried his esprit
de corps into Burma, Italy, Nor.
mandy, Southern France and Hol-
land. Others are polishing OIL their
training in the South and are ready
to go overseas. 4
Mike told some of them about his
landing In France-his first major
accident In more than 1000 hours
Of flying.
Machine gun bullets were coming
through his ship. He counted five
tracers, which, he said, would in
dicate at least so bullets.

the grass was slick as q creased
pig. He put his skids down but
went right on sliding. Mike headed
the nose between two trees spaced
to shear the wings on and slow him
down.
There was another tree he couldn't
see, however. The nose hit that
after the wings cracked free.
But most Of the men In Mixes
glider, and virtually all of those in
the gliders behind, landed fighting.
They seized their objectiyes and
held on while ground forces came
ashore behind them In the gather

Mike would have been legendary

the fighting went that day.

once, but nine times; then did wing
overs. lazy eights, slips and stalls
before it came in and landed ION a

thing like that in glider before,
but Mike Murphy was at the con-
trols.
That night Col. Murphy placed
the Laurinburg-Maxton Army Base

Mike had it cut loose over the
spot where the ofiicial party was

IDANBURY LIONS
 | HEAR M'MAHON
Advocates Full Employ rnent in Postwar Period
 for Permanent Peace

Danbury, Oct. 26.--America must have full employment in the post war period if we are to have Q per- manent peace, Brien McMahoil, Democratic candidate for United States Senator, told the Danbury Lions Club at luncheon meeting at the Hotel Green yesterday, Full employment here in Amer lea and permanent peace are tied up together, and all of us must pro- ceed on that basis" MT, McMahon said
 we cannot afford to risk another depression after this war, because you and I know that the causes of war'and civil disturbances lie in the shrunken bellies, the poorly clothed and the inadeQuately housed por- tions of our population. We must remove these fostering sores so that we can enjoy peace"
 MT. McMahon pointed to the magnificent production job which industry has performed in the war as evidence that jobs can be pro- vided for everyone who wants to work.
 'This tremendous achievement has been possible through the CO., operation of management and labor" he said. For the first time, labor and management have become o great team working tirelessly to- gether for the same objective.
 T hope that this spirit of cooper ation and harmony can be carried into the postwar world. can t see why 1t is not possible if we make up our minds to 1t. feel very strongly that 1t would benefit everyone"
 It will be necessary, MT. Mc- Mahon estimated, to provide jobs for 65 100000 men and women in the postwar period.
 American genius has never been unable to solve @ problem like this before," he continued, "and I cannot see any reason why 1t should fail this time. We must have faith that this can be achieved.
 If America does solve this prob- lem then we will have Q genuine prosperity such as we have never before known. And the effects of this prosperity will be felt all over the world, stimulating trade and mak- ing international cooperation thing of real meaning. When that day comes then we will truly have last- ing peace"
 Such proposals as advocated by six Western Senators in the Me- Carran committee report which would freeze reconversion in the New England states were condemned by MT. McMahon, who pointed out that two of the six senators were Republicans,
 we cannot have full employment or Q genuine prosperity if we pro- ceed on Q sectional basic like that" MT. Mahon said,

OVERFLOW CROWD
 CREETS GOVERNOR
Baldwin Scores New Deal Administration at COP
 Rally at Elton

An overflow crowd gathered al The Elton last night to pay tribute to Governor Raymond E. Baldwin and the entire state and Waterbury G. o. P. ticket at a dinner rally.
 Principla speakers were U. S Sen. John A. Danaher and Gov Baldwin both of whom scored the New Deal administration for failure to deal openly with the public"
 Accusing President Roosevelt of "concealing facts from the people of America" Sen. Danaher in a i5- minute statewide radio address, delivered from the banquet table, charged that the Presidents sup pression of the Pearl Harbor facts was part of the technique of con- trolling American thinking"
 Sen. Danaher declared:
 "The British Navy can lose two battleships and Prime Minister Churchill is promptly called be- fore Parliament for an explanation. The United States can lose Q whole fleet at Pearl Harbor and you still don't know the truth" the Repub- lican candidate for reelection stated.
 Vital facts must not be withheld from the American people, the sena- tor said, after pointing to the great power centered in the office of President to sway pubic opinion. "The President, he said, "because he is the Chief Executive, is able to put out any version he chooses of any given set of facts. If that set of facts is not challenged in any way, you obviously have no basis for thinking anything other than the way he wants you to think"
 If an election campaign Is to serve any purpose, 1t should be conducted as an educational pro- gram 50 that people be given the facts and thus, when equipped with the facts, they will be able to form their own personal opinions.
 Cong. Joseph E. Talbot said that Thomas D. Dewey had recognized Waterbury by appointing Frank Hogan of this city as his success sor as district attorney.
 State Treas. Carr Sharpe, State Controller Fred R. zeller, Lt.- William Hadden. Secy. of State Frances B. Redick and Cong. .-at- large B. J. Monkiewicz W e among the speakers. Atty.

 Harry J. Beardsley, candidate for judge of probate, State Sen. Frank Summa. George Casey, can- didate for state Senate, O. Russell sumpf and John Misunas, candi- dates for state representatives, and Harold Mitchell, chairman of the Republican state committee, were introduced.
