tion as T/Sgt. Wayne Frederick and Cpl. Donald Reichert. A week after the election, on June four teenth, 1914, Jerry left the Base to attend a gunnery school in the South.
 Jerry arrived at the Base Tues day as an Eighth Air Force rede- ployee, and surprised all his old friends when he walked into head quarters exhibiting the famous smile that helped to win the title. He finished gunnery school, then joined an Overseas Training Unit until shipping to Europe in March of this year. Overseas he flew as gunner on a B-17 and managed to make at least six missions. Now, says Jerry, he's on his way home for a furlough before setting out to try his craftsmanship against the Japs. According to the Wacs who helped sweep him into office year ago, Jerry has lost none of his charm and if they had to do the election all over again he'd still win in a walk.

RAF Raid Saved U. 5.

Paris (CNS)-New York mar rowly missed getting plastered by V-2 rocket bombs with a 3O0O-mile range, ordnance experts say. Pro- duction of the destructive robot bombs was delayed months when the RAF smashed the Nazi re- search plant at Peenemuende, on the Baltic, killing most of the scientists working on the project. Otherwise, Germany would have had the missiles, which did so much damage in England, winging their way across the Atlantic.
