Mai. Goff's brother, Capt. lie Roy
Golf, jr., 40, arrived in England last
December with the ground forces
of the Army Air Forces. The BROTH
ers looked for each other for four
months, and finally met in London
last month, when they had their
picture taken.
Another coincidence, Mr.. Goff
said, occurred when Mai. Goff was
invited for dinner aboard an Eng
lish ship docked at London. There
he met a lieutenant commander
with the same name-Roy Goff.
Mr.. Goff said the only mention
Maj. Goff made Of wounds was an
apology for awkward writing. He
simply wrote that his hands were
in bandages and he had received
the Purple Heart award.
The brothers, natives of Wash
ington, are both graduates Of
Princeton University.

Bushmen Smell Out Jups
In Close Jungle Warfare

In letter home, 1t. q. g. David
L. Lit tells Of the rescue on a
South Pacific island of Indian troops
held as prisoners since the fall Of
Singapore.
1t. Lit wrote in the same letter
he had just been informed through
the Rd Cross Of the birth of son,
causing much rejoicing and the
passing out OF seegars."
The Indians had been brought out
by the Japs as slaves, and were
pleased no end at our arrival. A
good many spoke English, and they
hung around the beach surrounded
by great crowds of soldiers and sail
ors, talking rapidly" 1t. Lit wrote.
Most of the Yanks treated them
like equals, sat on the sand with
them, handed out cigarettes, asked
questions and listened avidly.
Il remember in particular one Of
ficer Qndian) who spoke perfect
English-a very delicately built lad
with thick glasses, an esthete's
head and beautiful, long fingered
hands. He was very well informed,
and even volunteered some informa-
ton about where our ship is going
next, subject OF which we have
no knowledge whatsoever, ouside of
what he said.
HE was one. Others had little
wizened, dull-looking features, and
in their bearing showed total apathy
and tragic submissiveness.
Some of the natives were beyond
all description. They consisted Of
muddy bags Of bones with no human
spark whatever. I guess the Japs
were not running any social de-
mocracy here. -

Guckeyson Destroys
7 Graft on AirfieId,
Score Totals -Four

AN 9Th AIR FORCE BASE IN
ENGLAND.-After serving as OBJ
server and cameraman in the bomb
Ing of an enemy airdrome in France,
Capt. John w. (BilD Guckeyson,
former Maryland University football
star, went on to play a role of his
own by destroying two Nazi aircraft
parked on the airfield.
Capt. Guckeyson, fight leader In
a PAT Thunderbolt squadron. and
his fellow pilots had finished escort
ing formation Of Flying Fortresses
when he remembered that nearby
airfield was due to be bombed by
other AAF Forts.
The 29-year-old pilot circled the
area and took films of the action
with his gun camera. Then he de-
cided to add his bit of destruction
and swept down on Nazi JU-52,
parked at one edge Of the drome.
His bullets covered the entire right
side OF the enemy ship, which burst
into flame.
Hits Headquarters Craft.
Flying above a nearby town, Capt.
Guckeyson spotted a small pasture
with three parked monoplanes-two
in the woods and one up against a
chateau, which appeared to be q
German headquarters. He circled
sharply and came in on the plane
by the chateau. The German air.
craft exploded at his first burst.
Capt. Guckeyson, who lived at
6705 Forty sixth street, Chevy Chase,
Md, now has four victories to his
credit. The first two were Messer-
schmidt 109s destroyed In the air,
one shared with another pilot. He
also damaged two HE'LL aircraft
on another recent airdrome strafing
mission over France.
To make his first kill he dove his
plane from $4,000 feet to get a
Messerschmidt chasing q crippled
American fighter and started firing
from $50 yards. Firing constantly
with his machine guns, he had

flash Of flame and cloud of smoke
burst from the German plane and
it crashed to the ground.
Nazi Pilot Balls Out.
Two weeks later, while lurking,
invisible, with the sun behind him,
Capt. Guckeyson saw two German
aircraft ready to pounce on bomber
formation. He dove out of the sun
at $4,000 feet and his speed mounted
to 500 miles per hour. The pilots
seat collapsed under the strain of
the dive.
The Nazi pilot tried a vertical
dive to dodge him, but his plane
burst into flames, so he jumped out
and opened his parachute. Capt,
Guckeyson followed the German
plane to the ground and then
swooped up again. On his way up
he met the Nazi pilot, still floating
slowly downward, and waved good
luck" to him.
