Women S Part
I'm Korean War
lis Revealed
BY DOROTHY ROE
APP Women's Editor

We haven't heard much about
women'S part in the Korean War,
but one group of urageous girls
gets belated bow on the third
anniversary of the start of the Ko-
rean airfift, at the end of this
month.
They are the ,SlewardeSses who
have flown the airlift since its IN
ception, June 30, 1850, expediting
U. S. service personnel to the bat
tie zone and evacuating American
citizens.
Typical of the alert, competent
young women serving on the 500
commercial aircraft making up
this second line of defense is pretty
Barbara Fisher of Philadelphia,
Pan American StewardeSs who
made the first stratocruiSer run to
Korea in 1850 and continued flying
the airlift for two years. Says she:
Il was pulled off my regular
run in the Pacific-AlaSka division
to go over with that first plane
load of boys in stiff new uniforms,
who didn't seem to realize that we
could be in the MIDDLE of a ma
tional emergency so fast.
"We delivered the servicemen
and picked up the first load of
evacuees for the trip back. Only
women and children we're on the
return trip-some were widows of
U. S. soldiers who had been killed
in the first few days of fighting.
ALI of them had been rushed from
their homes, with time only to
snatch the barest essentials.
"All were exhausted and quite
bewildered and frightened. | realiz-
ed the best thing / could do was to
take care of the children and give
the mothers rest,
$50 l organized a children'S
party in the lounge of the Strato-
cruiser Is, 900 feet above the Pa
cific. 1t was a good party too. We
had ginger ale and sandwiches,
and we made paper hats and cut
out paper dolls. Somehow l man.
aged to keep the tykes amused
and entertained, and helped them
forget the terror of the last few
days"
The airlift operation was organ
lied almost overnight by u. S.
commercial airlines, at request of
the Defense Department, TO trans
port men and materials across the
Pacific and bring back u. S. de-
pendents and personnel on leave.
The amazingly efficient operation
was accomplished by siphoning off
10 per cent of the nations four
engine air fleet without interrupt
ing regular passenger schedules.
Today the airlift continues, work
ing a 6,700-mile aerial conveyor
belt across the Pacific, under the
direction of Military Air Transport
Service-and with it so the stew
ardesseS on each plane, who have
learned to be mother confessors
to battle-weary servicemen, nurses
for frightened children and COM
forters for grief-Stricken war wild.

He would say, 'sMr. Curtis and
I were talking. Then a man
opened the door, turned out the
light, and shot him."
The police would say, as that
so? Who was the man? What did
he look like? Why did he shoot
Mr.. Curtis?"
He'd have to say, 81 don't know.
My back was to the dsor. / didn't

Then they would look at him as
though he were crazy. They would
revoke his bail and hold him as
material witness, without even
giving him time to see Gale.
Mandel began to sweat again
The police might even think he
had killed Curtis. Inspector Carl
ton thought he was a killer.
His fingers still shaking, he
picked Curtis package of ciga-
rettes from the desk, lighted one,
and laid the package back. The
smoke tasted hot and raw. So Mr..
Curtis was dead: he was sorry.

Especially when he hadn't seen
her in two years and she had
flown all the way from Bermuda
to be with him.
There was a phone book on the
file case. He looked up the num-
Der of his hotel and called il.
Il beg your pardon" he said,
when the girl at the hotel switch
board answered, but could YOU
tell me if a Mrs. Barney Mandell
is registered"
Just a moment, sir"
AS Mandel waited, a drop of
sweat dripped from his forehead
onto the mouthpiece of the phone.
He wiped it off on his coat, grip
ping the phone so hard his hand
ached.
The girl at the hotel switch
board came back on the wire.
''Yes, she is, sir. Do you wish me
to ring Mrs. Mandell's suite?"
Mandell thought a moment.
'No," he said, and hung up.
Let the police find Mr.. Curtis.
He compromised. He would call
ana report the shooting. From the
hotel After he'd seen Gale.
His head turned to avoid seeing
Curtis, he opened the hall door
with breathleSs urgency. The spot
of blood in front of the door was
turning brown. There was no one
in the hall. He closed the door

securely behind him, stepped over
the spot on the tile, and walked
toward the elevator bank. Half
way to it, he realized he was

himself to walk normally.

opposite the elevators, painting.

Now he was uncertain again. This
was what he got for running. The
police knew he had left with Mr..

He turned the knob of the door.

it, the spring lock had latehed.
Then how had the killer opened
it? That was one of the first ques-
tons Inspector Carlton would
ask.

again, Mandell took off his top
coat and tried to fold il so the
blood wouldn't show. He was only
partly successful. II he folded Il
so the sleeve was hidden, the stain
where he'd wiped his hand
showed. He solved his problem by
folding the coat inside out. Then
he didn't know what to do with
his hand. There was still some
blood on his fingers. And nothing
on which TO wipe them.

NTANDELL flung himself for
w ward. The floor was wood and
oiled. There was familiar whine
over his head and a splinter
pierced his cheek as he tried to
make himself small. Another bull
let slapped into the desk. Still an
other thudded into flesh. Four
more shots followed in quick sue
cession, bracketing Mandell's head.
He mashed his head into the
wood, helpless.
Then the man in the doorway
was gone. There was a sound of
running feet in the hall. The
heavy door into the fire well
slammed.
Manden got to his feet. In
throwing himself forward, he'd
scraped his leg on the desk. He
limped to the door and looked out.
Where the man had stood there
was a bright spot of blood on the
freshly washed tile, and another
spot farther down the hall.
''You hit him" he told Curtis.
II thought l heard him grunt"
He switched on the ceiling light.
Then he turned to see how it was
with Curtis. The federal man was
sitting on the floor with his back
against the filing case. Both hands
were laced over his chest. His
agoniZed eyes were fastened on
MandelI's face. When he saw
Mandell looking at him, his lips
moved with great elaboration, as
if he were imparting something
very important, but only a faint
kissing sound came out. As Man
dell watched, his hands dropped
away from his stomach and he fell
on his side and lay still
NGANDELL knelt beside Curtis
N1 to see if he could do any
thing for him. He couldn't. The
federal man was dead. Rising,
Mandell stood with his back to
the wall, his palms pressed fiat
against the plaster, looking at the
man on the floor.
He was sorry Mr.. Curtis was
dead. He wished he could tell him
how sorry. Mr.. Curtis had been
decent to him. Mr.. Curtis didn't
think he had killed the blonde.
He should call the, police. He
should tell them what had hap
pened. But would the police be-
heve him?

Nomination OF
Tom Lyon Will
Be Withdrawn

WASHINGTON, R- President
Eisenhower is in knuckle-rap-
ping mood because of failure of
the administrations job-screening
program to turn up the data which
Congress later uncovered in the
Tom Lyon case.
And there were indications the
President may be somewhat en-
barrassed personally by his nom
ination of Lyon to be director of
the Bureau Of Mines. The White
House said it will be withdrawn
the first time Eisenhower has
done that.
Secretary Of the Interior Mckay
Wednesday asked Eisenhower to
withdraw Lyons name, after the
appointee requested such action.
Mckay did so in the wake of
Lyons testimony before Senate
committee that he is: % drawing
$5,000-a-year pension as a re-
tired official of the Anaconda
Copper Mining Co., and ~ is OPP
posed to the federal Mine Safety
Law he would administer as
Mines Bureau chief.
Government officials who asked
not to be named said Eisenhower
is having the entire episode inves-
tigated and that a sharp rebuke
quite likely will be dealt out to
those who failed to give him
full report on Lyons background.
There was no certainty where
the blame would fall. Some White
House officials were said to feel
Mckay would have to take the
rap.
At the Interior Department, on
the other hand, Assistant Secrt-
tary Felix E. Wormser said Lyons
nomination was sponsored by Re
publican Sen. Watkins of Utah,
from whose state Lyon comes.
