of the hardest thing I had ever had
to do. I had to keep along the line
he was taking until the last minute.
If I changed too soon he would
anticipate it and I would lose my
chance Of surprising him on my tail.
Watched Tracers Coming Nearer.
So I just kept still and watched
the stream of tracers inch slowly,
like a flooded river, tapping toward
my cockpit and didn't think OF any
thing, but just told myself in Just
these words: Don, hold on to your
self; keep yourself steady and you'll
get out of this all right. Don't
panic, Don!" Like that, over and
over again.
When the tracers got up to the
edge of my cockpit I threw the air
plane to port as hard as I could,
giving it the maximum on the rud-
der and stick that you can without
going into spin. The whole plane
shook could feel 1t shaking. That
poor old torn-out tail Of mine was
like a horse trembling and I could
feel the.spine of the plane just bend
ing. And could feel that spine in
my teeth, as If my gums were grind
ing under my teeth, but I held it
there and held 1t and held it until
I couldn't any more.
1 was on the edge of spin when
I pulled out and the tracers we're
still coming at me. I don't know
who this Hun was, but he was a
wise old cookie all right-no kid at
all, but hard man who knew the
tricks of the trade and knew he
had a plane that could turn inside
of mine and felt. sure he was going
to get me.
Made Himself Hard Target.
The best I could do with my turns
was to keep him part way of my
tail and give him DETECTION shots
at me; that is, to keep my line OF
flight at an angle to his so that he
would have to shoot ahead of me
to try to hit me, which is the hard
est kind of shooting to do.
I am not sure exactly how many
times I sat still in the cockpit, just
watching the tracers walk toward
me and telling myself: Don, hold
on to your brain!" But I think it
was three or four times.
Then suddenly, in a turn, my
plane flicked over on its back and
I was right over the trees of the
forest of Compeigne. The whole
flight had been from so to 100 feet
above the trees. Now the trees
reached UP for me and I had my
head stuck down toward them, but
I didn't panic. I just concentrated
on remembering where that Hun
was, and when I made my move
to roll out of that flick I rolled in
the direction where, If I came out
at all, would be alongside him
and he would be off my tail at last

1t worked. I rolled out of my
upside down position, although ]
was that close to the trees that
the whole air inside my cockpit
seemed green with them.
And when I came out right side

South Carolina Move
|For Preferential
Primary Launched
b. the Associated Press.

COLUMBIA, s. c., April 22.-A
suggestion that the Solid South
achieve a balance Of political power
through a presidential preferential
primary came today as the States
Democratic party overhauled its
machinery in move to exclude
Negroes from voting in its primary
elections.
The proposal was made by q pre-
cinct club in Sumter which adopted
q resolution asking Southern Demo-
Gratis to organize during the Demo-
cratic National Convention and
lplan preferential primary.
This primary would determine
which presidential nominee-"Re-
publican, Democrat or other'-they
would support in the general elec-
ton. Elimination of the two-thirds
rule in the convention, the resolu-
ton said, had taken away from the
South any voice in national politics.
Hundreds of Meetings Held.
Hundreds of precinct meetings
were held over the State today to
name delegates to the 46 county
conventions on May /. The State
convention is set for May II. The
party Is faced with expanding pre-
cinct, county and State ograniza-
ton rules to supplant lat primary
laws wiped from the statute books
this week.
| A week-long special session OF
the Legislature, which adjourned
Thursday night, separated the party
from Government control in an
effort to forestau any legal action
which might permit Negro partic-
lipation in the primaries, the actual
election in South Carolina.
The session was called by Gov
Olin D. Johnston after the Su.
preme Court ruled recently In 9
Texas case that Negroes could VOTE
in the primaries of that State.
| Negroes Plan Court Action.
AS it stands now, any party In
South Carolina can make its owr
lrules governing it's primaries. Fol
instance, Negroes could organize
their own political party and make
their own regulations. In the gen.
eral elections, a voter can write ir
lany name and It will be counted.

BY CAPT. DON S. GENTLE,
At Told to Ira Wolfert.

AN 9th AIR FORCE FIGHTER
BASE, England, April % tBy
Wireless) SO these two Focke-
Wulf 1905 came barreling in on
me red hot and sure of them
selves and of a kill--so sure that
they held their fire until they were
right on top of me. The lead Hun
was close enough to me when he
started to fire for me to hear the
ripped-out chugging of mis- machine
guns and the soft poom- -poom -poom
of his cannon.
| There was this sound and at the
same time tracers were going by me
and my plane was starting to
splinter around me- AS / turned
my head in a what in the name of
damnation is going ON here atti-
ltude, saw 20-millimeter shell 60
into my wing and saw the metal of
the wing flower and open like a
torn mouth and saw my tell quaking
and shuddering with animal move
ments under the blows of more
cannon shells. And I stared right
into the millstrealn of bullets be-
hind which sat the No. Hun look
ing like doll there-looking in
animate and stolid and mechanical
with his mask on.
I held my eyes into this mill
stream of bullets for what seemed
a long time to me. guess my
eyes must have been pretty wide
open, too. Then 7 threw my plane
around and right into him, think
| ing If I ram him I'll take the b.
with me. and if I don't try, 1t will
be me going alone.
Used Last of Ammunition.
He had to pull up and over me.
I stayed in port turn because the
Huns wing man, No. 2, was still
coming in. This No. 2 guy ran out
of CUTS and broke away. Right
quick, I threw my Thunderbolt into
a starboard swing and let loose a
burst at the guy but didn't hit him.
My nerves, at the time, were not
conducive to accurate 2unnery. ]
was starting to close OH him and
to give him another purst when !
found out I had used up the last
of my ammunition.
In the meantime, the lead Hun,
who brushed over my head when ]
had swung in on him, had pulled
up and positioned himself for an
other attack. He made 1t while ]
still was in my starboard turn and
just as I was discovering I had no
more bullets left.
He had about a 30-degree deflec-
ton shot but was giving it too much
and I could see his tracers hitting in
front of my nose, maybe 80 or 40
feet in front. I kept watching his
tracers walk toward me slowly as
| he corrected his aim. and 1t was one

wasn't fooling. I really
screamed. heard some of the boys
call down, Where are your" to me,
but I couldn't take time to look and
they never found me.
That Hun and I kept our eyes on
each other. / had to wait for him
to make an attack, and I think he
suspected it. / think he knew I
was out Of ammo" and it was up
to him to make the play.
Parry for Every Thrust.
A lot of things he did told me
I wasn't bluff1ng him-not that
crafty old cookie, not him. But
when he turned to attack turned
in on him and charged him head
on That gave him hardly any time
at all to shoot The best shooting
range lasts less than 300 yards
all told, and airplanes closing that
distance at combined speed of TOO
miles an hour go those 300 yards In
less than one second.
But this German wouldn't break
of the attack before he had passed
me. He was too smart and had
too much CUTS for that. He knew
he'd lose me If he did that. So the
best I could do was to turn as he
passed me and come alongside of
him again. We did that for about
Is minutes, reversing turns from
head-on attacks. I couldn't out
guess him and he couldn't out
guess me.
We were at stalemate in this
duel Of ours. For every thrust there
was parry, but I knew that all
had to do now was to stick with
him until he ran out of ammunition,
and that's what happened. He used
up his last bullets and then he
went home and I climbed with a
great surge into the sky, feeling I
would like to find cloud and get
out and dance on 1t.
Most Critical Fight.
That fight was, perhaps, the most
critical have ever fought. I have
had bigger triumphs, easier ones
but this one taxed every last bit OF
me. 1t showed me what I had
learned and it taught me what ]
was After it I felt there was NO
German alive anywhere who could
keep me from killing him when
had an even break In the fight, OF
when the breaks went against me
and he got them all I felt could
keep him from killing me.
I had felt this way several times
before, but now for the first time
knew the reasons. 1t was handy
feeling to have, for about month
after that the picture changed fol
the American fighter planes They
were taken of the defensive and
put on the offensive and told to gc
out and clobber down every German
that showed his face.

there has been in use a device for
taking and giving whole blood
under emergency conditions, but
one kit has been good for only one
TRANSMISSION. This makes the pro-
cedure too bulky for battle-line use.
I'VE have always pictured
whole blood TRANSMISSION" says Mai.
Emerson, "as procedure for hos
pital operating room, to be per-
formed by men in white robes with
all modern equipment and every
possible antiseptic Device"
With such apparatus the same
glass jar must be used over and
over again. Blood naturally will
clot around the sides and on the
bottom. Various impurities will
collect. Even in the most sterile
|transfusions in the past, the two
doctors believe, these have been the
cause Of many of the bad reactions
which have followed transfusions.
Presumably the problem of sterii-
zation would be much greater In the
field. The most dangerous organ
isms to be expected would not be
killed by alcohol They could not be
removed by the most intense scrub
bing with soap and water. In the
field, moreover, any water available
might be very dirty. Certainly 1t
could not be tested for pathogenic
organisms.
Majs. Emerson and Ebert made 1t
impossible to open their blood bot
ties so that nobody would be
tempted to scrub them. Instead,
any kind of water available-it may
even be from a dirty puddle-is
poured in through an opening at
the top mixed with ordinary Army
issue dishwashing powder, which
was found almost ideal. 1t is only
necessary to shake the bottle thor
oughly and all the particles of blood
left over from the last TRANSMISSION
are dislodged. Then the water Is
poured out and citrate solution
shaken up in the jar to kill the
organisms which may have been in
the water. Then the jar is rinsed
out with an 80 per cent alcohol
solution.
Cleansing Properties Demonstrated.
1t has been demonstrated, the
doctors say, that this kills all dan
|gerous organisms which may have
been present, such as streptococci
and staphlycocci, and gets rids of
all leftover blood proteins such as
the castings of red cells and globulins.
More than 100 experimental trans
fusions have been made, with no
bad effects. Enlisted men have VOL
unteered. Blood has been taken
from one arm and Immediately
pumped back through the other
arm. Maj. Emerson and Maj.
Ebert themselves submitted to the
most crucial experiments. They
washed out the jars with dirty water
collected from around the hospital.
In one case they let water stand for
five days in the sunshine without
any protection, so that it probably
collected specimens of all the path
ogenic organisms in the neighbor-
hood.
Then they had their temperatures
taken at frequent intervals. In no
case was there any fever reaction.
