Americans Valiant and Glorious"
san exhibition Of portraits OF Fly
ing Tigers" who lost their lives while
serving with the American volunteer
group under command of Gen.
Claire Lee Chennault, opened last
Thursday in the foyer of the Nat
ural History Building, United States
National Museum, to remain
through October 20. It is under the
patronage of H. e. DR.. Wei Tao
ming, Chinese Ambassador to the
United States. The AZ portraits
were painted by Raymond P. r.
Nelson for william d. Pawley tnow
United States Ambassador to PERU :,
who organized the A. v. g. The
major interest of the show, of course,
ais its subject matter.
: Mr. Pawley was president of the
Intercontinent Corp. and of Central
Aircraft Manufacturing Co. and
sbuilt the first aircraft in China. His
years of residence there and his per-
sonal acquaintance with many Chi
snese people had given him much ad-
miration for them. Indignant over
Japan's wanton attack on China in
the early '30s and wanting to do
something to help, he learned that
a group of American airmen who
might repeat for China the magnifi-
cent achievements of the Lafayette
lEscadrille In France during World
War would I'LL an urgent need.
This was the beginning of the
A. v. G., which came into being in
'194o, as the result of preparations
international in scope. Three hun
'dred and fifty young Americans be-
'longed to the group during its sepa-
rate existence. Their achievements
have been published in several
books. The fact that 297 Japanese
planes have been shot down while
only IL Flying Tigers" were lost in
actual combat (the deaths of the
others having been due to different
causes), indicates the excellence of
the organizations methods and the
extraordinary skill of the airmen.
Mr.. Nelson's portraits of these
Flying Tigers" are done in the ira
'ditional manner, with sound, unob-
'trusive brush work. All are bust
portraits, Just under life size, and
were painted of necessity from pho
tographs. The artists chief objec-
tive was to obtain good likeness in
each case. How well he succeeded Is
indicated by the fact that parents of
IA of the boys depicted, who have
seen the portraits, expressed their
satisfaction with the results. Mr..
.Pawley himself, who personally
knew all the men, considers them
excellent hkenesses.
Mr.. Nelson was born in New
York City in 1881. His grand
father, Admiral Christopher Ray
mond Perry Rodgers, was president
of the: Naval War College and was
also superintendent of the Naval
Academy at Annapolis. Mr.. Nelson
graduated from the latter and dur
ing World War I served as neuten-
ant and aide to Admiral Sims; his
job was liaison with the British Ad-
miralty. However, he had given up
a permanent career in the Navy in
order to become an artist. He stud
led at the Art Students League OF
New York and, under William M

Gets Paint Job
And It's Lasted Since

Twenty-Five years ago-in 1873
Nick Guccione got the job of paint
ing the big Mckinley bridge across
the Mississippi river at St. Louis,
Mo-, according to an article in the
American Weekly" He was 26
then. He's past so now, and although
he has been painting the bridge dur
ing that quarter of century of his
lifetime, he's still at it and the
jobs still not permanently finished.
First, he started covering the east
side of the bridge with paint. That
took two years. Next, he tackled the
west section and spent two years on
that part of the job. Another two
years was required to finish the mid
die section. Then it was time to
start repainting the east end. and he
was back where he started.
Mr.. Guccione, every six years
since he first started, has covered
all three sections of the bridge, and
is now inclined to the belief that he
has steady job. However, the &C.
count Of his experiences says that
he gets bit weary of the monotony
Of using black paint and secretly
hopes that some day he can sell the
bridge authorities on the idea of
painting the structure red, white and
blue, although he isn't too confident.
He has no record of how many
brushes he has worn out on the
bridge, but it is recorded that he
has used 720 barrels of black paint
in the last "a years-a lot of paint
which also connotes use of lot of
"elbow grease"

Yamashita and the
SnOre Threat

OuOTO 1uTCdk
General Yamashita, new COM
mander-in-chief of the Japs against
General Macarthur, often closes his
eyes and shores, even in the midst
of important business. This gives the
impression that he is not alert and
fools people. Japanese radio.)
This introduces another new weap-
on into the global war. A snorer
can be quite threat, and Yama-
shita is no ordinary, low gauge.
one-tube snorer. He gets volume and
power, not to mention distance.
It may herald the launching Of an
about japanese snore attack.
The Yamashita "horror weapon
may be the robot-grunt or even the
jet-prOpelled snore. We may have
to combat nasal blitz any mo-
ment, now!
America does not include snoring
among it's major weapons. It is not
nation of top snorers. 1t has never
gone in for snoring as an instrument
of aggression, nor even of defense.
But that may be because it has
never been challenged i'm this re-
spect by any world c0nquering
snorers.
Washington seems undisturbed.
Secretary Stimson expressed the
opinion that while we are not much
as snoring nation today, we led the
world at it between 1919 and 1941.
"And that was unintentional snor-
ing" he said "Once we set our
minds to snoring aggressively, the
results will be amazing"
General Marshall spoke with SINH
lar confidence. "Let Yamashita
bring on his Burping battalions, his
grunting Grenadiers,' he said calm
ly. ST understand Yamashita shores
from the toes up, the effect being
heightened by a bad case of half
tosis. But we will take him on, grunt
for grunt.''
General Macarthur was equally
passive. II will spot the general two
deep inhalations and make him cry
for help. We can lick him at any
thing, including any noises he cares
to make" he declared
'He is very deceptive" we warned
Macarthur. He can snore while
awake
''That makes him an ideal foe,"
was the reply.
HE sometimes does his deepest
planning between grunts," we
pointed out.
I'VE will keep him grunting,"
smiled Macarthur. rs he straight
front snorer or a wheeler? Any
how we will look for an all-around
snorer. Do you know if he shores
with his mouth open?"
"Our scouts so report" we said.
''That kind are a dime a dozen,
even when made in Japan" said
Macarthur. ''It is the man who
shores with his mouth closed who is
really dangerous"

Macarthur went on to say that,
anyhow, America had been expert
menting with a new snore of great
er range and velocity, a snore that
would go anywhere.
"We fear no enemy snorers," he
added. "Kaiser Bill was a better
than fair hostile snorer and look at
his finish! Hindenburg was tops"
General Eisenhower admitted one
fear from the snore technique. IF
Hitler, Goering, Himmler and Goeb-
bells should all snore at once, that
would be a Disturbance" he ad-
mitted.
Justice on the Home Front
"Coincident with the distribution
to all private lending institutions of
new regulations covering housing
loans for war veterans, the Federal
Housing administration today urged
the setting up of full safeguards
against veterans being victimized
through the purchase Of jerrybuilt
houses. News item.
One of our yens is to see a tough,
seasoned veteran return from the
wars, get one of those modern
houses with walls that wobble in the
breeze, and chase the realtor across
country with bayonet. Getting, of
course, his money back.
