Tenth Air Forces 80th Fighter
Group which was formed at an
airbase only five minutes from
his home, has won direct COM
mission in the field as second
lieutenant. He will be group
medical administrative officer.
1t. Kent enlisted at Selfridge
Field, Michigan, in July of 194l
and was assigned to the station
hospital as medic. His home,
at 3245 Groesbeck highway, Mt.
Clemens, was only a few miles
from the gate. The 80th was ac-
tivated shortly after Pearl Har-
Dor and Kent was signed on as
a medical assistant, and rapidly
rose to a technical sergeant's
rating.
Before going overseas, Kent
turned down chance for Off
Ger Candidate School in favor of
going over with the group. His
consistent excellent perform
ance with the Burma Ban
shoes" rated him a commission
by theater order.
The 26-year old Kent played
semi-pro baseball with the Mt.
Clemens Dairy, when it won the
pennant in the Macomb County
League in 1899 and 40. His
commissioning was sore blow

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. - Election of a Republicans Congress is necessary next year ito pre- serve the A m erican economic system and avoid a ruinous period of inflation," says Herbert Brow nell, Jr., Republican National Chairman.
 He also called for an audit" of Democratic Party rule and said in a speech last night that the COP must win to give the people "a long overdue accounting of what has been done with their government during the more than l2 years of the New Deal"
 The Congressional investigation of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Brownell said, should bring answers to such questions as who was responsible for"
 The admitted failure to use such defense facilities as were available at Pearl Harbor? The fact that our mighty Pacific Fleet was caught like sitting ducks in a mill pond? The fact that hum dreds of our planes were parked wing tip to wing tip on Hickam Field as idle targets for Jap bomberS?"
