Air Force Goes All 0u'
In Proving Power in
Exercise Swarmer
BY the Assecioted Press

FORT BRAGG. N. c., April 2S.-
A mile-long arstrip in the pine
topped Carolina sandhills was
probably the busiest airport in the
Nation today.
The airstrip. located at Camp
Mackall. was handling the heavy
flow of traffic which is supplying
the fighting forces being used in
Exercise Swarmer. AS fast as one
of the Air Forces big transports
could clear the runway. another
would take off. This belt-line
stream was bringing in a plane
every three minutes and the oper-
alton was being carried on around
the-clock. night and day.
The Air Force was going all out
to prove to the Nations military
planners that If the occasion
arises. it can move the tonnage
necessary to feed large armies to
keep them in fighting trim. The
whole operation resembles the
Berlin airlift reduced to the at
mosphere of shooting war.
Area Cleared of Enemy
Meanwhile. three airborne regi-
mental combat teams. which were
moved into an isolated pocket
on Swarmer's D-day yesterday
cleared the Camp Mackall area OF
enemy" troops. They then
pushed on toward Pope Field
which tomorrow will become the
area for Swarmer's third and final
mass paratrooper jump.
The 325th Combat Team of the
82d Airborne Division. consisting
roughly of 1000 troops. will hit
Drop Zone Sicily near Pope. H
hour has been set for $50 am.
Official figures today showed
that 1895 troops were moved into
the area on D-day. Nearly 1000
of them. dropped by parachute
and the remainder were air
landed. About 1900 tons of equip
ment, combat equipped personnel,
and supplies were either dropped
or air landed during the first day,
Pace to See Final Jump.
Secretary of the Army Frank
Pace headed here today to wit
ness the final mass jump and to
study the supply picture. Mean
while, the Army's Assistant Secre-
tary, Karl Bendetsen, was high
in his praise for the teamwork
shown by the unified services in
the exercise.
Mr.. Bendetsen, who earlier in
dicated that Swarmer will affect
future military budgets, declared
that the operation is going to
bring forth great progress in all
aspects, especially air-ground CO.
ordination. He was high in praise
for the job done by 1t. Gen
Lauris Norstad, commander of the
maneuver. and 1t. Gen. John r.
Hodge. commander of Task Force
Swarmer.
The big transports, under the
man who commanded the Berlin
airlift, Maj. Gen. w. H. Turner
completed 313 trips from about
l pm. on D-day until last mid
night. Most of them are Douglas
C-54's and GAS and Fairchild
C-82's and C-119's. They are
operating out of Greenville, S. c..
and Maxton, N. c.
A hospital check showed that

Report On Virgin Islands
Housing Authority Meeting

AT a meeting of the Virgin

1850, The Authority approved
Cooperation Agreements with
both Municipalities, st. Croix
and St. Thomas & st. John,
covering the initial two-year.
program already approved by
the Public Housing Admins
tration, calling for the con-
struction Of $50 dwelling units
in these Islands (the full pro-
gram for six years provides for
1850 units). Both the Munich
pal Councils acted expedite
ously on these Agreements,
approving them with the same
week, thus making it possible
at last to move on with the
several other steps necessary
before actual construction can
begin.
The Authority is also pro-
cessing applications for a rural
non-farm housing program
covering 725 dwelling units
(4O0 for st. Croix, 125 for st.
John and 200 for st. Thomas),
and for urban redeyelopment
projects for Charlotte Amalie,

AT the same meeting, the
authority bid adieu to Com
missioner Charles S. Duke,
who left for the mainland the
next day to take up residence
there, and regretfully accept
ed the resignation of Captain
Joel G. Adams as Secretary &
Executive Director. Captain
Adams asked to be relieved Of
this responsibility in view of
the increased pressure of his
duties as Officer-in-C Charge of
Operations of the Selective
Service System in the Virgin

world crisis. The Authority
passed a resolution of appreci-

for the valuable technical SER

call of duty, which he per-
formed on a volunteer basis.

Initial applications by the
Authority for the urban hous-

The sort Of thing that Producer
s.. Sylvan Simon describes as

onstrated with a vengence In his
latest Columbia picture. The
Good Humor Man." which ar
rived yesterday at the Warner.
The Jack Carson comedy ought
to prove a riotous field day for
admirers Of slapstick. At It's peak
it reaches complete pandemonium
and If you are in a mood for
clamorour roughhouse this is your
dish.
The character played by Mr..
Carson is his stock one-a sort
of bumbling cross between Harold
Lloyd and Red Shelton. whose
good nature is continually being
outrageously imposed upon by
fate-and there is no doubt that
he plays him well. Mr.. Carson has
become one of our more agreeable
funnymen.
The difficulties which beset the
hero here derive from a maga-
zine story called Appointment
With Fear" but it is a 99-to-1
shot that Roy Huggins didn't
write 1t exactly the way Frank
Tashlin adapted it to Carson's
measure. This is no complaint, of
course. A plot that makes sense
is not what you want when you
set out to see people clouted with
custard pies.

and it is played with witty zest
by large cast headed by Anne
Baxter and Dan Daley.
The old yarn spun by Ticket to
Tomahawk" is the one about the
new railroad which will lose it's
franchise if it does not operate a
train to Tomahawk by certain
date, in spite of unfriendly In
dians and conniving stage line
operator. Some people wouldn't
want to tackle that one again even
for television, but the Robert
BaSsler production for Goth Gen.
tury-Fox treats it all as a lark
and it becomes genuinely agree
able experience.
One of the brighter notions of
the script involves a switch If
not a complete reversal of the
traditional leading roles in West

The Ambassador confided to close
friends, however, that he did not
expect to return. His business inter-

and he feels that his country already
