MorrelPs Night Fighter Squadron First
To Complete Year Of Combat Operations

airplane are now being flown by
the organization.
Upon completing its highly spe-
cialiZed training, which every pilot
and observer must have, the squad
ron was sent to North Africa Fly
ing operations began the day after
it arrived.
From the beginning the squad
ron set up a good record, leading
off by destroying several enemy
planes the first month. In addi-
tion to flying night convoy patrols
and warding off enemy bombing
attacks, the squadron made day
light offensive sweeps over the
Mediterranean.
1t was while flying these mis-
sions the squadron's Beaufighters
shot down several Italian transport
planes trying to evacuate person
mel from Sicily.
Then when the Allies moved in
to Italy. the squadron shifted it's
base to Sardinia There it took
over protection of both the islands
of Sardinia and Corsica
Though it had begun to slip, the
German air force was still power
full and active. The squadron. how
ever, found itself in a good strate-
,gic position.
On the nights of January % and
January 26 it's Beaufighters prang-
ed an interesting cross-Section OF
the Luftwaffe-a JU-88, a HE'LL,
a D.-217 and HE-177. The enemy
planes had tried to sneak over to
bomb Corsica on their way home
from the AnZio Beachhead
When the squadron got the first
Heinkel-177 shot down in the Med
iterreanean theater, it was credited
with having brought down some of
every major type of German
bomber.
Since the invasion of southern
France the squadron has once more
gone over to the offensive. Flying
close support of the ground forces,
it has been striking hard at enemy
airdromes, shipping and lines of
communication.
Captain Morrell has served with
his squadron ever since it was first
formed. AS flight commander he
is in charge of the leading flight
of the squadron and he has more
than 100 operational hours flying
to his credit. He was commissioned
when he became a pilot at Victor
vile, Calf, in June, 1912.

A Drivers May GET
Tires This Autumn;
No Gas Increase Seen
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
New tires may start rolling
this fall to "A" card automobile
drivers whose hopes and treads
have been wearing thin together.
First, Charles F. Phillips, the
OPAs new chief of rationing, said
in an interview today that "a card
drivers can expect their first new
tires stree the start of the war when
monthly ALLEGATIONS of synthetics
climb to 100000 from the May
quota of 100000.
And from the Office of the Rub
ber Director, where the ALLEGATIONS
are set. it was learned that produc-
ton of passenger car tires probably
will reach the 100000 mark some
time in October, November or De-
cember.
AS for gasoline, Mr.. Phillips said
there was nothing to indicate" that
the "A" ration can be increased
during the present quarter, ending
July l, and that any boost in the
third quarter will be dependent on
ALLEGATIONS from the Petroleum Ad-
ministration for War. He said
study of whether it will be possible
to increase the B" ration this quar-
ter has not been completed.
Mr.. Phillips stressed that not all
"a" card motorists will be able to
obtain new tires this year. Applica-
tions will be screened by local ra-
tioning boards and certificates will
go first to those whose driving is
considered most essential.
He said it probably would take
three or four months to meet the
demand of all "a" motorists. All "B"
and &C. card drivers, Mr.. Phillips
pointed out, have been eligible for
new tires since May /, but it is ex-
pected there will be backlog of
applicants until at least August.
Mr.. Phillips said his first aim with
regard to gasoline IS to increase the
"B" ration in the East from the
present maximum OF 325 miles of
driving month to ATS miles.
