G|iders' Value in War
May Be Proven by
latest Invasion
BY w. H. SHIPPEN, Jr,
Aviation Editor, The Star.

Complete returns from the second
landing in France probably will set
tie q question long debated in WASH
ington-the military value Of the
glider.
News reports and photographs in
dicate United States sky trains
Jared batter in Southern France
than they did among the tree
studded hedgerows of Normandy
which upset many gliders ahd helped
expose others to concealed fire.
Many veterans of the glider at
tack across the Channel were able
to accompany the group which
struck from Italy, this time appar-
emily favored by better visibility
and terrain and less opposition.
Yet the Normandy operation
alone, ir the opinion of experts here
proved that one of the best ways to
lead an invasion is with gliders.
Loss of life was low for the results
obtained, they said, and within 12
days after D-Day 80 per cent of the
glider pilots had returned to their
bases In England for a new assign
ment. Indications were that many
OF the missing men were still fight
ing with the ground troops or were
IN evacuation hospitals.
Records Prove Results.
"They used to call us the suicide
squad" said glider officer who
returned to report on the Nor
mandy operation, but the record
on one of our toughest assign
ments ought to speak for itself"
The paratrooper, while carrying
everything but the kitchen stove, is
still a foot soldier when he hits
the ground, but glider troops come
in with such mobile equipment as
jeeps, field howitzers, light bull
dozers or road scrapers.
1t gives the Germans the filters,
it was said, to know that kind of
stuff is rolling behind them when
they are supposed to face an in
vasion from the sea. More than
one Nazi heavy gun crew surren-
dered without firing a shot when
gliders swooped down beside them,

Troops Trained rs Commandos.
Glider troops and their team
mates, the paratroopers, are trained
in commando tactics.
Once they cut loose from the tow
ship. they never know how long
they'll be fighting on the ground
seizing or blowing up bridges, cut
ting communication lines or at
tacking gun positions from the rear.
They are under orders to stick
through the immediate emergency
before reporting back for more
glider work.
Glidermen felt they were misun-
derstood by the public during the
early days OF the their training. On
furlough. the folks back home
would say to them, "Oh, so you've
joined the suicide squad!" Or again.
What do you mean, gliders-I
thought they'd junked them!"
Gliders are designed to land on
ground too rough and too small |
for power planes. Sometimes they
wash out the landing gear or strip
of wings between trees /
But the crew is protected by
stout framework of seel tubing. In
military operations these ground
crashes are frequent. Casualties
appear surprisingly light. especially |

ment for national defense vas raised
In washington long before the Naxis
swooped down on Belgian forts and
bridges in motorless troop carriers
during their drive through the Low
lands.
Congressman and committee wit
nesses charged Army and Navy De-
partments with indifference toward
the development OF q weapon Of
great promise.
In the end 1t was the Nazis, per-
haps more than any one else, who
forced the issue. Oddly enough,
many German soldiers now act, ex-
perts here say, Is If they had never
seen a glider before.

to persons who witness them or see
photographs Of the wreckage.
For instance, many gliders cracked
up, some bearing heavy equipment,
when an Allied sky train landed far
behind Japanese lines in Burma
last spring. The landing was ac-
complished at the maximum per-
Torrance OF the tow ships, In the
darkness and on an unknown field,
scattered with teak logs, stumps,
buffalo wallows and fringed by trees.
The loss, according to officers who
led the expedition, was less than
per cent and far less than the men
would have suffered from malaria

defying National War Labor

Briggs workers, after meeting
Sunday, returned TO work briefly
yesterday morning, only to walk
out again.
AGAIN VOTE RETURN
At at meeting last night, they
voted again TO return 10 their
vital jobs of building bomber gun
turrets. when company officials
assured them they would negott-
ate with union officials. James
FerraZza. president of Briggs
Local 212, UAW-CIO, announced.
The strike broke out Saturday
when 1000 fellow workers joined
walkout of AZ job settlers who
objected 10 new job classifica-
ton which the management said
was made with union sanction.
The NWLB entered the Statler
dispute by dispatching kilograms
ordering heads of the 10 AFL
unions TO send their members
back 10 work. The wires were
sent after the case was certified to
the board by u. S. Conciliator
Edward Miller when negotiations
here broke down.
PAY RAISE DEMANDED
Arising over pay increase de-
mandS by elevator operators and
engineers, the Statler strike con-
tinued today to force guests to
carry luggage down the stairs,

John Anhut. counsel for the
Detroit Hotel Association repre-
senting the Statler, last night met
with John Carroll, AFL internal
tional representative, and other
ALL union leaders, and reiterated
his refusal to deal with the strik-
ers until they return to their
jobs.
THE case Is In the hands OF
the WLB where IL belongs and
the association will abide by
any decision the board makes,
but everything is predicated on
the employees return to work."

City Studies
Power Plant

The Public Lighting Commits
sion today was studying pro-
posal TO build a $5.200,O00 power
station which would make city
agencies independent of the De-
troit Edison Co. for power
production.
The proposal was made after a
seven-month study by Burns a.
Roe. Inc, of New York, and
Smith. Hinchman e. Grylls. Inc,
of Detroit, whose fees will be
slightly less" than the $4,000
appropriated for the purpose by
the Common Council on request
of Mayor JeffrieS.
$4,000 KILOwATTS ADDED
The new station. recommended
for construction at Water Works
Park. would add a power output
of $4,000 kilowattS 10 the present
capacity OF $4,000 at Mistersky
station.
1t would give the commission
reserve capacity and al the same
time fill predicted needs for sup
plying power for lighting of
streets, public buildings, DSR.
housing projects and power for
city water and sewage pumping.
An additional 81 $50, 900 project
for the extension and transmits
sion OF power was recommended,
although, il was explained, the
expenditure will have TO be made
during the postwar period whether
the new station is built or not.
LOWER CONSUMER COST
II. c. Roe. president of the
engineering firm, told the COM
mission there would be little 10
gain" in the PICS attempting to
enter further into the commercial
field, but that extension and
modernlzation of city, owned
power facilities for municipal
agencies ARE bound TO result in
lower costs for all consumers and
that the competitive condition
with the Detroit Edison Co. is
very healthy"
