Dewey Leads In Nebraska
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON-That ''Oh my, Oh, my you heard from capital poli.icos was for ,the write in vote that Gov. homas E. Dewey rolled up in Nebraska for the COP presidential nomination.
 The Dewey bandWagon is roll ing as no prospective Republican nominees has since 1924, when President Calvin Coolidge walked away from all opponents.
 If you think that's a broad con clusion to draw from the Ne braska primary, where Dewey ran second, observers here will give you an awful argument.
 In the first place, it's the ex- ception, not the rule, for candi- date to get anywhere on a 'write- in vote. Dewey's name wasn't on the ballot. Lieut.. Comdr. liar old E. Stassens was. The only

Amchitka began to think serious ly about Jap bullets and bombs.
 Attu was taken, and our engi- neers found the Jap runway still unfinished although the Japs had been working on it for the better part of a year. Our aviation en- gineers blasted a runway out of Attu's volcanic rock in precisely two weeks, and a transport of the 42nd was the first to land.
 One of the heroes of the 42nd turned up during this period. He was Capt. Miles A. Werner, son of Wade Werner, veteran Associated Press war correspondent, and he had joined the 42nd prior to Dutch Harbor.
 "He was just a green kid" Capt. Scavenius recalls, but he had the most amazing energy of any one ever saw. In two months from the day he arrived, he was one of the best pilots in the squad ron. Next thing we knew, he was studying Russian. After a twelve-hour trip down the chain, he'd flop down on a cot in our Quonset hut, with the wind howl ing like a dervish outside, and he'd conjugate Russian verbs. Then he took up the accordian. He had bought secondhand one in Anchorage, and in between the
The Nome nugget., 1944-05-05

verb conjugations, he played songs for us.
 His last hobby proved fatal He loved P-38's and couldn't resist zooming around Amchitka when he got the chance. One day. he volunteered to fly down to Kiska with a squadron of fighters to shoot up the Jap gun positions a bit. We never saw him again The troops that occupied Kiska months later found his body and the wreckage of his plane lying just where they fell"
 The squadron has it's heroine too. During the Attu campaign, an air evacuation unit was at tached to the group, and planes of the 42nd converted to hospital planes transported wounded back to base hospitals An Army nurse accompanied each of these mis- sions. While enroute to pick up wounded, one of the transports crashed near Naknek, and End It. Ruth M. Gardiner was killed in- stantly.
 To symbolize the high courage of these flying nurses, the Army recently named a new hospital for It. Gardiner. This marks the first time an Army hospital has been named in honor of a woman.

By CPL. TOM LOVE llth AAF Correspondent

HEADQUARTERS, 1l'h AAF SERVICE COMMAND - Most respons ble for the full use of the radio ranges and instrument fly ing in the Aleptians was young looking lieutenant colonel by the name of. Patrick R. Arnold, of San Antonio, Tex, who had come to Alaska in February, 1941, with a fighter unit and later be- came commanding officer of the troop carrier group.
 Col Arnold overcame the nat ural aversion of his pilots to fly ing when low ceilings greatly re- stricted visibility by himself talk ing off in bad weather, flying on instruments all the way and prov ing to his men that it was not as hard as it looked.
 It. Col. Louis B. Grossmith, of Oakland, Calif., who later took over Col. Arnold's job as com manding officer of the troop car rier group (and who is at present commanding officer of troop carrier unit in Alaska) describes typical Arnold day during the Jap occupation of Attu and Kis- ka.
 "Col. Arnold would arrive in his ieep al Elmendorf Field around midnight just when the far-north- ern sun was finally set He ar6 his crew would take off for Adak and arrive there early in the morning. Af+er rummaging around the windy island for an early breakfast, the colonel would make personal calls at the hut ments of his transport pilots. He seldom lost much time in getting his men out, regardless of wind and fog, and shortly transport planes would be roaring off in all directions. It was the colonels theory that we had a lot of fly ing to do before the Japs were rooted out, and the weather could and must be licked.
 "I think Alaskan flyers give Col Arnold full credit today" Col. Grossmith said. By his ex- ample, he transformed the pilots from contact flyers to instrument flyers, and this is the saving fac tor in flying in this theater of operations today"
 The Army was now getting ready to take back Attu and Kis- ka. A task force pulled west from Adak and landed at Am chitka, and once again, the engi- neers went through the tortorous task of putting in the landing field first and thinking of them selves later. Kiska was now a mere matter of 65 miles west, and transports of the 42nd landing on the steel mats of the new strip on

other name was Wendell L. Will kie's and he had withdrawn.
 Men have been nominated and even elected to office on write in" votes, but not often. The req sons are simple If a voters can didate isn't on the ticket, the Vo- ter thinks Whats the use?" Ani stays away from the polls. If he does go, he frequently doesn't know how to write in his candi- date, or even hat he has the priv ilege of doing so.
 The fact that Dewey, who was just a ghost so far as the Nebras- ka ballo' was concerned, piled up almost half as many votes as the popular, young former governor of Minnesota, who. according to the ballot, was virtually unoppos- ed, was enough to make the pol iticos gasp
 Following DeWey's overWhelm- ing victory in the Wisconsin pri- maries, and tbe announcement that 92 of New York's 93 Repub- lican delegates would be for him at the outset, DeWey's preconVen- ton stock is soaring
 * :: < =.
 Students of the political scene point to two important factors: d1 The Republican convention is only two months away and unless Dewey misplays his hand, or op- ponents within the party trump with some card that isn't known to be in the deck now, the New York governor will go to Chicago in June with tricks to spare Time is important in politics. Many a bandWagOn has started rolling too soon and found itself behind the caliope when the big show began. Dewey opponents are going to have to hustle if they want to stop him in eight weeks.
 @ Nebraska voters are notor- iously as independent as that fabled hog on ice and thus may be a better cross-section of vot- ing trends than many other states would be. Nebraska is consider ed normally Republican, but it has jumped the traces number of times. For 30 years, it sent to the Senate that great indepen- dent, George w Norris, who was always identified more with is sues than party alignments. Dis regarding sentiment, the Nebras- ka voters deserted the aging Sen. Norris in 1922 and elected a Re publican The states entire Con- gressional delegation is now Re publican.
