He approached the soldiers just before start of their 'urloug’h April 13. The money was for a chartered airplane leaving Love Field at Dallas .Monday. Capt. -Clair of the Da las induction station said the privates agreed at start »f the 14-day furlough to meet at the Dallas rail way station Monday and go to the airport together. - j ; - The unknow benefactor anticipated; what the soldiers didn’t yet know—that the. a|rljne has no planed in the Dafltet krea. ?
