CHAPTER XIV

These were led by FIVE of the best
men of the AVG, and there was one
great ace-in-the-hole that only the
General and the AVG could have
arranged: Two squadrons of these
Flying Tigers, had agreed to stay
behind for a two weeks period to
help the newly formed 23rd Fighter
Group. I think this gesture by those
men such as Bob Neal, Charley
Bond, George T. Burgard, Frank
Lawlor, John E. Petack, Jim How
ard, and others who were suffering
from combat fatigue and i'll health,
was one of the bravest and most
self-sacrifcing Incidents of this war.
In the two weeks that they remained,
two of them gave their lives, and
their sacrifice was beyond the call
of mere duty. These men, with those
five who stayed with us to lead our
squadrons Hill, Rector, Schiel,
Bright and Sawyer-and the AVG
radio, engineering, armament, and
ground personnel, were our back
bone and our Inspiration. We of
the 23rd Fighter Group salute you.
That Fourth of July, as the over
confident enemy ships came in over
kweilin, they brought new twin
engine fighter that was supposed to
murder US. They came in doing
arrogant acrobatics, expecting to
strafe the Chinese civilians in the
city without opposition. General
Chennault watched them with field
glasses from outside the cave and
called directions to Bob Neal, Ed
Rector, and Tex Hill, who were sit
ting with their ships lin the sun"
high overhead, at twenty-one thou
sand. At his radio order of Take
EN-" the newly formed 23rd with
the AVG attached dropped down and
massacred the Japs. There were
soon thirteen wrecked Zeros and new
twin-engined LASS around the field
for the Chinese to celebrate over.
Out of this initial air battle for
the new Group came one of the best
nicknames of the war. General
Chennault told me that after the
Jap attack had been broken he saw
lone Zero tear across the tops of
the hills that iutted up all around
Kweilin, and far behind it he heard
the unmistakable rolling thunder of
six ifty-calibre guns. The hurrying
Jap kept going in the direction OF
Canton and home, and had just
about disappeared in the Southeast
when the General saw shark-nosed
P-40 roar out of the West, with its
six guns going steadily, the tracers
dropping far. far below and behind
the fleeing Zero. Well, the Jap got
away and when the American ship
had finally gotten his guns stopped
and cool enough to land, the pilot
was found to be Lieutenant Dumas
Just an eager American pilot who
had seen the Jap at too great dis
tance and had opened UP.
Dumas laughingly told us, during
the usual kidding that came that
evening, that it had been the first
time he had seen an enemy plane,
and he had gotten so excited that
he'd fired too soon. All he did was
shoot-but when he got the trigger
down and saw the tracers out in
front he couldn't turn it loose. He
felt about the same way that all OF
us feel in our first combat. But this
escapade earned for him the title OF
Long Burst Dumas"

human carriers of tuberculosis of the

One of last years activities, soon to be completed, is the talk ing a kodachrome slides that re- la:e story showing the details of the home nursing of tuberculo- sis patients. As soon as the copies arg made these will be ready for distribution around the Territory. Native people posed for the slides.
 From donations made to the Health Department prior to 1943, the sum of $3,203.55 remained. Approximately S5O.OO of this went for the training of bacter- iologis. in X-ray technique, per sons trained in the taking of K rays being otherwise impossible to obtain; and the remainder paid reconversion expenses attendant upon the installation of X-ray ma chinery on the M. s. HYGIENE, h alth boat giving service throughout southeastern Alaska.
 Also collaborating in the report were Dr. Norris, with history of the SkagWay Sanatorium; and Dr. Albrecht, telling the present sta tuS of tuberculosis in the Territory Both emphasize the fact that out of an estimated 4000 cases in the Territory, at the present time there are only 193 beds in Alaska and that, as fast as possible, we need to find nurses and hospital attend ants, so that we can make avail able the remainder of the beds at the Skagway Sanatorium, also they agree that we need more SanatoriumS, enough to hospital ize all infectious cases. The tu- berculous are cared for in other lands, places considered not so far advanced as Alaska, so according to Dr. Norris, Alaska immedi- ately must follow up the start that has been made toward the control of tuberculosis because the prob lem will never be of less magni- tude than it is today"

|, Annual Report
 Of Tuberculosis 

The annual report of the Alas ka Tuberculosis Association, given by Mrs. Bess A. Wunn, ex- ecutive secretary of the organi- zation, is now being distributed throughout the Territory. In that report a breakdown account of receipts and disbursements for the past year is briefly reviewed and plans for the coming year are presented. Featuring future ac:iv- ities will be the cooperation be- htWeen the Association, the Terri torial Department of Health and the Office of Native Affairs. "When there is full coordination between the agencies" explained Dr. C. Earl Albrecht, Commission CT of Health, ''then plans benefi- cial to the whole of the Territory can be carried out with a mini mum of effor."
 An agreement was drawn up between the Association and the Department of Health in which the sum of $11,625.OO was con- ributed to the Department, the sum tentatively earmarked by the |. executive board of the Associa- tion for various projects. This fund will enable the Health De- partment to secure additional Federal funds, since the Federal government has available for all lotment to the Territory a sum equal to the amount expended by the Department of Health for tu- berculosis control work. Unless the projects outlined by the board prove impractical or too difficult of attainment, they will be carried out. It is realized, however, that as the program progresses, better ideas for growth may unfold. Co., operating in the work will be Dr. E. w. Norris, District Medical Di- ! rector of U. s. Public Health and Medical Director for the Indian Service.
 Last year the sum of $541O.OO was donated by the Association to
