Over There With Men From Here
SERGEANT LEADS TROOPS
AFTER CAPTAIN IS KILLED

after 'em. We were lucky, guess.
We knocked out all of them. But a
sniper killed Capt. Peters, our COM
pany commander. There was a
swell guy and a brave man. The
bullet that got him hit him two feet
from me as we were after . ma
chinegun nest. The sniper didn't
live very long after that.
After Capt. Peters was killed I
took command as senior noncom.
We went along wall, tossing gren-
ades, and later on we went out on
the fland Of Carentan.
Note-Carentan was the key posi-
ton of the whole American effort
on the Normandy Peninsula. It
anchored the line for the troops who
drove to Cherbourg. 1t was taken
by the troops of the 10lst Airborne
Division the morning of June IL.
Pretty Hot Going.
TT was pretty hot there around
Carentan. Some battalions of our
outfit were working into the town
and we were pretty busy keeping
the snipers down. I guess we did all
right because the paratroops got
into the town and showed the Ger
mans out"
When the 101st won Carentan on
June IL they dug in and waited for
the. expected German counterattack.
The Jerry doesn't wait long. This
time he attacked the night of June
IL. The paratroops were up against
it, attacked by German paratroops
and later by fanatical kids of the
Schutzstaffele (security troops. The
Germans died in droves before them.
Myers was in it all.
He has six known dead Germans
to his credit and wants more. After
he left the 29th Rangers he rejoined
the parachute infantry outfit with
which he now is associated How
do the Rangers compare with the
paratroops?" 7 asked him.
About the same as fighters" he
said. But those rangers and Com
mandos are the fierciest killers
could imagine. They just live to
kill and revel In it. But this outfit
is swell. I'm for it. all the way"
Enlisted at Is.
Mrs. Mae Myers, the sergeant's
mother. who lives at the Pennsyl-
vania avenue address, said today
her son had enlisted in the Army
when he was only IS years old by
representing himself as older. She
said he has been in the service since
that time.
Prior to his enlistment with the
Army, Sergt. Myers was enrolled
with the Civilian Conservation
Corps for two years and stationed
in South Carolina, his mother said
Sergt. Myers has two brothers,
Leon, 26, now with the Army over
seas, and Edward, "a, with the Navy.
He also has two sisters, Virginia

District Man Denied
Habeas Corpus Writ :
Trice FoiIs to Obtuin
Release in Fourth Attemp,
BY the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, July 27.-Denying
a writ of habeas corpus to Horace
w. Trice. 2726 Thirtieth street NE,
Washington, Judge w. Calvin Ches-
nut commented yesterday on what
he termed the possible informality'
with which persons can be tried in
Maryland counties without a grand
jury Indictment.
Persons may be tried for serious
crimes in the counties on the war
rant of the county magistrate
alone. the Federal judge said. He
expressed the opinion that the large
number of habeas corpus proceed
ings was due to the wide jurisdic-
ton given the magistrates.
Trice, who previously had filed
petitions before three other judges
in unsuccessful attempts to obtain
his release, claimed his constitu-
tional rights had been denied.
He was sentenced in Prince
Georges Circuit Court to serve three
years and to pay a 81 900 fine on a
manslaughter charge in an automo-
bile death.
Judge Chesnut held there was no
denial of constitutional rights. He
said, 1T is regrettable that the
Maryland statutes do not authorize
an appeal to the Court of Appeals
in these habeas corpus cases"

Postwar Airline Policy
In International Field
Argued Before CAB
Merger Plon Issue Is Seen
As Posing Question Of
Free Enterprise

The whole question of postwar
air policy in the international field
from free competition to various
forms of monopoly. was argued
yesterday. before examiners of the
Civil Aeronautics Board.
Some airline officials felt the
point at issue, whether American
Airlines will be permitted to take
over the transatlantic facilities of
American Export Airlines, will set
up United States policy either for
or against free enterprise in a field
which must reckon with foreign
competition.
W. A. Patterson, president of
United Air Lines, which opposes the
merger along with Pan American
Always and other interests, ex-
pressed the opinion that CAB sane
ton Of the $4,000, 900 sale will lend
permanence to Exports temporary
certificate and open the gate to un-
economic competition across the At
lantic.
Few Planes Seen Only Need.
The examiners were told by l.. F..
Hampel, United Airlines economist.
that a small feet of not more than
"a planes of the new Douglas DC-7
type can handle all the trans
Atlantic traf1ic which might be de-
veloped in the first 10 years after
the war.
This traffic, he added. would have
to be shared between the Americans
and the British and only subsidies
could keep more than one American
line In profitable operation.
On the other hand, Charles A.
Rheinstrom, vice president of
American Airlines, argued that de-
velopment OF commercial flying in
the United States should not be
hampered by artificial barriers,
Shore lines and coasts, he said, offer
no obstacles to air transport and
inland cities no longer exist '.in the
ocean Of the air"
American Airlines spokesmen
challenged the conclusions of Mr..
Hampel. which were based on a
study OF prewar travel on surface
vessels, and declared he failed to
take into, account new passenger,
mail and cargo traffic which can be
developed by commercial airlines.
Hearing Follows CAB Order.
The hearing here followed up the
CAB order to the American Export
Line to dispose of its interest in the
transatlantic air carrier. Testi-
mony will be presented to the board
for decision later.
Meanwhile, a dozen American
companies. including several domes-
tic air carriers, are preparing stand
ard exhibits to be submitted to the
CAB August l to support applica-
tons for certificates to operate
across the North Atlantic.
Hearings on their applications will
open October 16.
South Atlantic applicants will
hold a prehearing conference on
August 2, and the formal hearing
Will open November /.
A decision on these application
probably will not be reach until next
summer. BY that time, it was hoped
Congress will have established a
clear-cut United States policy on
overseas air operations.
