1t promised to be quite a Donny

Mitchell and I returned to oul
squadron area and broke the new!
of the impending scrap to the res
of the Lightning pilots, the lobby.
ing began, with every pilot plead.
ing his case to be included in the
show.
We had over 40 pilots available
for only Is aircraft, however, anc
outside of Mitchell, Barber, Moore
McLanahan and myself, no decision
had been made as to who else woulo
participate In the mission. Mitchell
as the commanding officer, had the
unhappy job of appointing Is pilots
from among the unanimous volun-
teers. To accompany him In the
covering section he choose Mai
Louis r. Kettel and Its. Julius
jacobson, Raymond K. Hine, Besby
T. Holmes, Douglas S. Canning
Deltion C. Goerke, Gordon Whit
taker, Roger J. Ames, Lawrence
Graebner, Everett Anglin, William
E. Smith, Albert r. Long and Eldon
Stratton.
Gathering these pilots together
Mitchell briefed them thoroughly
and exactly. Take off at OTIS
7:25 am next morning. One
circle of the field to pick up strag-
glers. On course and underway at
0730. Indicated air speed of PIC
miles an hour; proceeding a max
imum altitude of 80 feet above the
water. We would fly thus for over
two hours, around a great semi
circular course 435 miles in length
taking us far out to sea in order
to circumnavigate the Jap posi-
tions at Munda, Rendova, Vella
Lavella, Shorthand and Kahili
From the moment of take off until
the target was reached, not a word
was to be spoken.
Plans Outlined.
After two hours of skimming the
waves far beyond enemy sight or
radar- detection, we would head in
toward the southeastern shore of
Bougainville and begin climbing to
our appointed attitudes.
AS we crossed the shore, my sec
tion was to break away from the
rest of the formation and head for
that spot over the jungle, 35 miles
back of Kahili, where we had an
appointment with the admiral at
exactly 0935. No sooner and no
later. Any sooner, we would have
to circle and wait for our prey, thus
Haunting our presence at Nip OBJ
servors. Any later, fate forbid, and
We would miss the party.
Mitchell and his section, mean
while, were to climb in the direction

Gifts for Veterans
Spending Christmas
In Hospitals Sought

The American Red Cross has
asked Washingtonians to provide
Christmas gifts and decorations fol
the thousands of servicemen forced
to spend the first peacetime Christ
mas in hospitals in this vicinity.
Mrs. Arthur Vandenberg, field di-
rector of hospital services, told dele.
gates from 100 women's organiza-
tions at l720 D street NV. today
that the war is not over in the
hospitals"
The peak need for Red Cross
service is still to come in the hospi-
tals," she said For at least two
more years the war there will not be
over"
Organizations were asked to pledge
such items as radios, Victrolas, books
ana magazines, musical instruments
hundreds of packages of wrapping
paper, ribbon and tree decorations
Mrs. Margaret Slater, field direc-
tor at Walter Reed Hospital, urged
however, that no food be sent. The
men have the best of food and stor-
age space is needed for more lasting
items, she said.
Mrs. Elizabeth Davis. field director
at the Naval Medical Center,
Bethesda, Md. said gay gifts and
decorations will be needed more this
year because every man who can
hobble will be allowed to 60 home. !"
Those forced to remain will be
gloomy and lonesome, she said.
Washingtonians who want to give
should communicate with the Red
Cross Camp and Hospital Council

Governors Advised
To Encourage Merger
I0f Local Governments

States must encourage counties to
replace their present outmoded gov
ernments with more responsible
mechanisms, the Committee on
State-Local Relations said in a ten
tatiye report to the Council of State
Governments here today.
The report, prepared by a re-
search staff, stated that townships
outside of New England, are gen.
orally an "outmoded" form of gov
ernment and should be abolished
States should aim at the principle OF
one local responsible government fol
one local area, because simplifying
local government will result in a
greater public interest in local gov
ernment, the report said.
The committee, headed by Gov
O'Conor of Maryland, meeting al
the Statler Hotel, concluded that the
optional charter or home-r,le sys-
tenn provides the most suitable sys-
tenn Of legal relationship between
State and local community.
Exploring the subject of State-lo-
cal relationships to develop a pro-
gram for presentation to State Leg
islatures in 1947, the committee de-
clared local government should be
maintained where it is consistent
with reasonable cost and efficiency
The report said protection of local
initiative and discretion are an inn
portant responsibility of the States.
It was further recommended that
each State consider establishment
OF department of local govern
ment.
The Governors Committee is
made up of Cows. Baldwin of Con-
necticut, Warren of California, Kelly
of Michigan and Arnall Of Georgia
Other recommendations in the re-
port included:
City-county consolidation should
be made possible and encouraged. .
reduction in the number of local
government units will reduce gov
ernment cost; school consultations
should be fostered and hastened; /;
substantial numbers Of special dis
tricts should be unified with appro-
pirate larger county or city units.
Participating in today's meeting
were Cows. O'Conor and Kelly. Mrs,
Bernice Vande vries, member OF
the Illinois Legislature: Caye Mel
son, director of the State Planning
Board OF Louisiana; Karl Frazure,
chairman of the Commission on IN
terstate Cooperation Of West vir-
ginia; Frank Bane. secretary Of the
committee, and other State, county
and municipal officials.

Iof Kahili. Reaching 10000 feet,
they were to take up a covering
patrol, interposing themselves be-
tween us and any threat from
above.
If and when the target had been
sighted and destroyed, every one on
the mission was to break off any
conflict they may have become in
volved in, no matter how engaging,
and head for home.
Briefing Concluded.
Mitchell's brief1ng concluded, our
two intelligence officers, 1t. Joe Nc
Guigan of the Navy and Capt. Bill
Morrison of the Army, gave us sup
Elementary advice. The weather
was to be cloudless and almost
windless. Several new antiaircraft
batteries had been spotted about
Kahili and their positions were out
lined to us.
Capt. Morrison also gave us the
answer to the question uppermost
in all our minds. Would Mr.. Y oe
on time? According to Bill, the
answer was yes Having lived over
half his life in Japan and the
Orient, Bill spoke with some au-
thority when he assured us that
barring hurricane or typhoon, Yam
amoto would run true to lifetime
form by being exactly on time
wherever he scheduled himself to be
Mitchell had to do a perfect job
of navigating and timing over track
less ocean and through winds of
unknown velocity to get us to the
appointed spot at the correct split
second. Which, to his everlasting
credit, he did.
And Yamamoto had to be ex-
actly on his course at exactly the
right time. Which, to his everlast-
ing sorrow, he was. Any one of
countless things could have hap
pened to make his five minutes early
or late.
Prepare for TakeOff.
The next morning I TAXED my
Lightning to the head of the runway
for the takeoff. AS I rolled past
Rex Barber's parking revetment,
caught glimpse of him through
the rising clouds of coral dust kicked
up by Mitchell's flight preceding me-
AS he eased his ship onto the taxi
way behind me, he grinned and
waved. His grin was perforated by
the gaping absence of an upper front
tooth lost in an extracurricular
brawl in Fiji some months past.
A superior team flyer, and a wing
man who had saved my tail time
or two when had mistaken myself
into trouble, he also had knack for
doing things on his own that had
men predicting an early and spec
tacular death for him.

he was good to have riding along
