who were willing to serve under
any banner-for price. The
word free" has no reference
to the rates they charged; it
merely means that they were
free of loyalty to any one
standard and were free to fight
for whoever paid the best fee.
(Change fight" to write" in
that sentence and you have a
pretty fair definition of today's
"free-lancer.") Since this newer
meaning of a writer or artist
who places his talents at the
service of many employers has
completely replaced the older
military meaning of the word,
this could be evidence that the
pen is really mightier than the
sword.
| incidentally, Hemingway de-
serves credit for having estab-

for secret Subversives working
within a country. The phrase
was first uttered by General
Mola who said. during the
Spanish Civil War, that he was
commanding five columns in
the assault on Madrid, four
converging on the city from
various directions "and the fifth
column within the city" But
it was Hemlngway's use of the

lished it permanently in our

Question: In the recent TV
adaptation of Hemingway'S
Fifth Column" one Of the
characters is asked his occupa-
ton. He replies II call myself
. free lance. 1t has rather the
air Of a medieval knight, don t
you think?"
Well, I DON'T so think.
I've been a free-lance writer
for several years and believe
me there's nothing romantic OF
courtly about the grubby exiS-
tence most of us lead. I've seer
your by-line on some magazine
pieces, so I suspect you have
free-lanced, too. Do you agree
that Papa" Hemingway was
q little of base on this one!
&C. p, Pittsburgh.
Answer: Sorry, but Heming-
way was right on target this
time. Free lance" you see, /:
a term that actually goes back
to Medieval times. Originally
1t referred to the so-called Free
Companles-both Italian anc

Cadets From Bed

Several members of the Smyr-
ma Cadet Squadron of the Civil
Air Patrol were awakened from
their early morning sleep recent
ly when word was flashed from
the 18th Air Force at Mitchell
AFB, New York, that an Army
helicopter, H-l3 class, was over
due on a flight over this area.
Col. Louisa Morse, Delaware
Wing commander, was advised
of the overdue helicopter at
about Bis am. She passed the
alarm by telephone to the com
mander of the Smyrna Cadet
Squadron, Capt. Philip Toman,
who in turn alerted local cadets.
Only male cadets were alerted
at the early morning hour since
the complicated administrative
and large scale communication
duties assigned to female cadets
wouldn't be needed until later in
the day. First duty of the Smyr-
ina cadets was to form two in
terrogation parties, groups sent
to the general area of the pre-
suTned crash, or to the route OF
the aircraft over the state. The
groups split into two's, going
over the route asking questions
to determine if the missing
craft had passed over or if any
had gone over at low altitude
with sounds of distress, engines
missing" etc. Directing the two
groups working out of Smyrna
were Capt. Toman and 1t. Hunt
er Clark. The search parties in
cluded Cadets William Carey,
John Cherriman, Richard Clegg,
Steven Hankins, Thomas Ken
nedy, Richard Moore, Richard
Savage, and James Vessel.
Chief Warrant Officer Marie S.
Toman remained at squadron
headquarters to operate the
radio station which keeps all
mobile units and the rescue
truck in constant communica-
ton with the mission control
center. The alert ended at sos
am. when pilot and helicopter
were found to be safe further
north on the flight route, hav-
ing been turned back by bad
weather. The wing commander
commended the squadron on
their prompt action in the emer-
gency. This was the second time

House Orders
Trip Accounts

The House has approved a
requirement that its members
make a detailed public ac-
counting of the money they
spend on overseas trips.
This money comes from
counterpart funds. They are
foreign currency owned by the
United States Government in
various n a tions. Travelling
Congressman dip into them ex-
tensively for expenses while
travelling abroad. They have
not been required to make any
accounting Of how they spend
the money.
