BY the Asseeiofsd Prsss


LOS ANGELES, Jan. s-The
Swoose, SCARED, war-worn but
faithful Bit, Is about to make its
last flight.
The famed plane was purchased
by the City of Los Angeles for $3.50
as an intended war memorial. 1t
was featured in 1916 Army Day
ceremonies but since has been park
ed neglected at Los Angeles airport.
Manager Woodruff de Silva said
the plane has been made flyable
again and Col. Frank Kurtz. orig
inal commander Of the bomber, Is
expected from Washington in a day
or two to fly 1t to Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio, for
placement in an air museum.
The Swoose-"half swan, half
goose"-left Hawaii for the Philip
pines in October, 194l. 1t escaped
the Japanese conquest of the Philip
pines and went to Java to fight
back, then to Australia.
Finally retired from combat, the
ship became the personal transport
Of 1t. Gen. George H. Brett, Allied
air commander in the Southwest
Pacific. The Swoose's log shows

the welfare of the County OF
Washington, which included Cow
town, and until that time animals
were permitted to run at large
under certain restrictions, OF

on a different turn, and animals
were not permitted to run at large

darky of the Uncle Tom type;
head whitened with age and
shoulders bent with years of work
in the service of his masters;
friendly and kindly. waiting for
the greatest Of all masters to call
him home.
Used Shortcut Paths
Cowtown itself was not all built
up then, either, and 1t was not
necessary for one to confine him
self to the sidewalk-if there hap
pened to be one. In most cases
the paths were just as good and in
many cases better and, Of course
decidedly more direct. Indeed, as
a lad, when I attended school fol
awhile at Fourteenth and G
streets. I went by the way Of paths
the entire distance, crossing one
common after another, and wher
I attended the Prescott School
over toward Howard University
with Albert s. Galley. now Of the
Lincoln National Bank, and q
number Of other old timers, we
never thought Of cutting square
corners. but simply went as the
crows flies.
But about Cowtown: This was
not q large place at all, being of
rather limited area. Here every
body had one or more cows and
as many pigs and geese as they
could afford to keep, and as for
dogs and goats, 1t would have
taken some one with a tabulating
machine to have arrived at the
correct number. There were many
horses, too, in this community,
for where a few peddled their milk
by hand, the vast majority, with
very large routes, were compelled
to rely on teams.
Animals Restricted
People who lived in Cowtown
were as law-abiding as other citi-
zens. But they knew how phys
ically to protect their own inter-
ests and never hesitated to do so.
In this connection, 1t was always
an interesting day-and that day
was a frequent one-when Pound
master Sam Einstein sWooped
down on the animals running at
large here. They then forgot
their loyalty to Government and
just blew the lid right off.

least two places in and around
Washington called "Cowtown. VI

common consent OF the early resi-

many other odd names could be

 There is that fleeting hint of a present-day menace in the story of an espionage network so bold it slipped from the Japanese cab inet and Germany embassy in Tokyo secrets that helped change the course of the war.
 And there is another hint in a suggestion that the operator who tapped out coded messages on a secret radio might now be busy in some other country.
 The army shipped out parts of a 32,000-word report on the ring than Gen. Douglas Macarthur sent over from Tokyo. It gave "se- curity reasons"
