WITH THE AEF IN
FRANCE, Sept. 17-(Delayed)
-lR-Footnotes from the fly
boys in France:
A French major has taken
his priced "leaf from the tree
of France" back to where it
came from.
Six weeks ago, the officer
was flying a P-47 from Cor
sica over France, leading
fighter units of mis- countrymen.
He strafed a German troop
train so closely that he plough
ed through treetops, but the
powerful Thunderbolt brought
him back to Corsica, leaves
decorating its wings, fuselage
and tail assembly.
He divided these leaves
among his fellow pilots and
they flew over their homeland
On D-Day of the Riviera in
vasion, each with "a leaf from
the tree of France over his
heart"
Later, they moved to the
mainland and continued their
operations against the Ger
mans, Always it was the major
who was out in front burning
the deck with his eight sos
splitting bullets at the hated
Boone.
Over the Belfort gap a few
days ago he hit an ammuni-
ton train. 1t blew up under
him. The gallant plane and the
gallant pilot tried to cover but
the explosion was to great and
they ploughed straight ahead
into a clump of trees of
France. The other members
of his outfit still carry their
leaves.
More fortunate in the same
sort of situation was 1t.
George Potts of Dallas, Tex,
who went out with four thun-
derbolts on "a routine armed
reconnaissance mission over
the Belfort gap sector.
We spotted an enemy train
with full steam up nestled in

a ravine. He made one pass
and blew up the locomotive.
1T looked like set-up,"
said the veteran of 80 combat
missions later. I'VE reformed
to strafe the cars. l pulled out
of my pass at about hundred
feet and banked over to see
what had happened. All Of a
sudden it seemed as though
Vesuvius had busted loose"
After that ne wasn't quite sure
what happened until he sort
of came to" a few moments
later and found the other pilots
more than so miles away.
Then he knew another am
munition train had been blown
up.
Despite blazing wing tanks
which he jettisoned, a damned
tailwheel and ripped wings,
Potts managed to get his thun-
derbolt back to his base, but

sessng and Transporting these souvenirs is
not one of the ''senseless'' military regula-
tons that G. is occasionally growl at. It is
ruling meant to save lives. When a soldier
brings home an explosive as a souvenir he
knows he is violating this rule
Civilians would do we'll to refuse such
gifts. the risk of hurting the soldiers feelings
is certainly the lesser risk of the two. Those
who already have these souvenirs should get
rid of them to police authorities

Brig. Gen. Gordon P. Sa-
vile, tactical air commander
in this theater, is pretty proud
of 1t. Robert S. Mandell of
Lajara, Colo, for helping solve
the ticklish gas supply storage
problem, but there are certain
persons around the world vino
probably will howl with rage
when they hear how.
1t had been tough to get suf-
ficient gas ferried up by Liber-
ators, Bostons and C147'', and
then the fighter outfit found it
had no place to store the prec-
ious petrol needed for the
thunderous chase of the Ger
mans westward.
Mandell miraculously came
up with four railroad tank
cars. He persuaded French
authorities to shift them to a
siding near the airfield. Vita
finesse, he urged the French
to dump the contents of the
cars.
Sad-faced French Maquis
emptied tnem-of wine. Now
$4,000 gallons OF aviation gaso-
line fill the cars, and pilots
find their way back to the
field by following their noses
to the wine-soaked sod.

Another symbol of progressiveness-

Northern great-1 900 of these new,
bright orange painted freight cars will
be in wartime transportation service
before Winter.
Developed by company technicians,
the modern, 50-ton capacity cars are
combination of steel, Douglas fir ply
wood and lumber.
Lighter than conventional steel was
utilized for underframes, while lumber
and steel form the superstructures. Out
side and inside sheathings, including
ceilings, are of 5s-inch plywood. To
prevent warping, the plywood is treated
with "sealer.''
Two tons lighter than the conven-
tional boxcar, the plywood-steel units
roll faster because of high-speed trucks,
non-harmonic springs and wrought steel
wheels. Steel ends and metal roofs add
to sturdiness.
