BOSS OF THE BOMBERS
j. WOOf Discovers General spootz Resembles Perhins
BY s. J. WOOLF
NEA Stan Correspondent

An Air Force Headquarters, Eng
land, April 26 - This Is the nerve
center OF the American heavy
bombers which are blasting Ger
many. Here the targets are selected,
and here come the reports Of their
destructive sweeps. The headquar-
tiers are located in an old country
mansion. the great dining table
now is covered with a map of Eu-
rope.
Lieutenant General Carl Spaatz,
commander Of the United States
Strategic Air Forces in Europe
was seated at his desk when /
first saw him. A window behind
him threw his face into shadow
and Softened q network of wrinkles.
But when he moved to another for
better lighting, I had a feeling that
I had made a previous sketch of
him. His sleeked down hair, his
close-cropped mustache, his square
jaw all seemed strangely familiar.
Suddenly I realized that 1t was his
resemblance to General PerShing
that had made me think that this
was not the first time he had posed
for me.
REDUCED LUFTWAFFE
Born in Earlville, Pa, SIS years
ago, he is stiu a command pilot on
active flying status. Upon his
graduation from West Point he
was assigned to the Aviation Sec
ton of the Signal Corps and dur
ing the last war he piloted the
crude planes which took part in
the beginnings of aerial warfare.
Since then he has been active in
the development of the Air Force
and has been its commander in
Africa and the Mediterranean.
AS he spoke of its growth, he
pointed out that when we began
daylight operations over Europe,
shallow generations were all
that were possible. Today our
planes can go any place they
choose. We have reduced the
Luftwaffe and we also have in
creased the flying range of our
fighters.
He says that the first essential
step in aerial warfare is to knock
out the enemy's air force. There
are two ways of doing this. One
is to destroy his planes in the air

Patriots Day in Massachusetts
falls on April 19-an annual holi-
day to celebrate Paul Revere's IA
nous ride of '76. Well, E. r. Davis
of Anderson, Indiana, got to think
ing about Patriots Day and he dug
up a story about dog, according to
Gilbert Martyr, heard over the Blue
Network Monday through Friday at
1870 a. m.
Paul Revere had horse, every
body knows, but it seems he also
had q dog-a friend and compan-
ion which figured prominently In
that immortal ride. According to
the yarn, when Revere left his house
the night Of the famous ride, his
dog went with him, as he did most
of the time. They walked down
to the river together-and Paul had
climbed into the boat which was
to take him to Charlestown, the
starting point Of the ride. when he
suddenly remembered that ne had
left his spurs home.
Quickly, Revere wrote a note to
his wife, attached 1t to his dogs
collar and sent him home. Sure
enough, a few minutes later, back
came the messenger, pair Of silver
spurs hanging from his collar.
Revere patted his pal, thanked him,
got into the boat and, in a matter
Of hours, had written himself into
history.
Did you know that John Charles
Thomas, who is universally acclaim
ed as one of the finest baritOnes
known to radio and the concert
stage, prefers radio as an outlet to
his art above all others.
"The mcnOtony Of singing the
same music day after day, in opera
and musical comedy, was unDear-
able to me-" he states. II only stay
ed i'm musical comedy to make
enough money 50 could get out
and do the things that really in
terest me the most radio and

scope for an artist i'm a single we'll
chosen radio program, In winch
he is called upon to project himself
i'm several different moods. He Is
called upon to make the very most
Of every artistic growth and the In
ner satisfaction Of doing something

Thomas, an artist I'm the true
sense Of the word, has a cOnSum-
mate style and unexcelled interpre-
tative powers. His rise to fame be-
gan from his first professional start
singing church music in a small
Pennsylvania town, followed by
musical studies In Baltimore at the
Peabody Institute, where he was a
pupil Of AdeIin FOrmlin. He is espe-
cially grateful for that early church
singing experience. and I'm this
