American Pilots Aiding Defenders Provide Lifeblood To French Bastion HAIPHONG AIRBASE, Indocnina UP—American pilots are providing lifeblood to the heroic defenders of Dien Bien Phu. Each day these fly-for-pay boys, successors to the famed “Flying Tigers” take off from Haiphong in "Flying Boxears” supplied by the f. S. air force. They dodge Communist flak around the isolated French stronghold to drop ammunition, food and medical supplies to Col. Christian de Castries’ “fighting fools.” A high-ranking French officer told the United Press: "It’s no secret that these boys are providing lifeblood to Dien Bien Phu.” Like Gen. Claire Chennault’s Flying Tigers of World War 11, these flyers have away of laughing off the ever-present danger lu their jobs. But unlike the Tigers, who were fighter pilots taking on the Japanese in aerial combat, these men are misplaced transport pilots. They receive little more pay than regular transport pilots who fly the- world's more peaceful runs. They say they are doing a dirty and dangerous job because it ought to be done. “It’s the same old thing. They need supplies and we are taking them in," said Steve Kusak, Rochester, N. Y., who flew for Pan American and CNAC before hooking up with CAT—the civil air transport line. All the pilots, navigators and engineers who fly to Dien Bien Phu are civilians and volunteers. Kusak and many others -were working in Indochina previously when tne Communists threatened Luang Prabang. They include Ken Milan of Long Lake. Minn., and W. W. Shaver of Lenox, 'lowa. Shaver sports a strictly non-military goatee and went to work for CAT after trying

unsuccessfully to set up an air. line in Manila after the war. One of the more unhappy men here is Maurice Clough of Panora, lowa, who left his wife Betty in Tokyo to make his tour of duty in the war area. Some of the former Flying Tigers now- engaged in the Dien Bien Phu airlift indicated they would be willing to join any nnti-Com-munist brigade that Chennault might form. They said they get a regular stream of letters from “bays who want to fight here." This airbase is in a constant whirlwind of activity with Flying Boxcars, C47s. 826 s and Bearcats landing and taking off. The supply operation is the closest thing possible to an actual American operation. American pilots fly Cl 19s from Korea and return in others which will receive overhauls in United Nations workshops in Japan. Combat - experienced American paratroop specialists teach the F-ench how to load the boxcars. American mechanics repair and maintain the planes and American officers handle paper work for the squadron. Americans man the control tower. Thoughtful Child HARTFORD.

State Police, Banks Work Hand In Hand Make Bank Holdups Nonpaying Venture INMANAPOLIS, UP -Indiana state police and Hoosier bankers have teamed up to make bank holdups an unprofitable venture. Alarmed by the biggest wave of robberies in more than 20 years, troopers and bank employes are working hand in hand to nip in the bud as many holdups as possible and bring to justice those who prey on cashiers’ cages. The troopers are keeping such a close watch on the situation one of the them recently disarmed a man he saw loitering suspiciously near a northern Indiana bank. The man turned out to be a security officer of a banking chain. Indiana had six bank holdups last year, highest calendar-year total in two decades but far below the average of an 8-year period 1927 to 1934. There were up to 35 holdups annually in that period and the average was 25. There have been three holdups in Iloosierland thus far in 1954. State Police Supt. Frank Jessup sent uniformed troopers over the state to advise bank officials and employes how they can help stop holdups. Troopers are under orders to pay occasional visits to small town banks during their regular patrols. Bank employes have printed cards in front of them with space for writing in descriptions of bandits and their getaway cars. The cards bear names and phone numbers of troopers and police posts. State police also have suggested to employes they report suspicious persons or autos near banks, arrange with phone companies to give priority to -emergency calls from banks, keep an eye on strangers carrying bags or suitcases, and preserve fingerprints of holdup men. Jessup's office also mails all

banks detailed descriptions of bandits and their methods of looting in unsolved holdups. At present, only two of eight stickups- since last June are unsolved—at Jasonville and Willow' Branch. Jessup praised the alertness of citizens and bank employes whose tips and actions resulted in capturing suspects in West T&rre Haute, San Pierre, Bourbon. Hamlet, Evansville. and Walton holdups, and preventing planned holdups at Lynnville and Loogootee. But he warned against citizens taking direct action endangering themselves and others. "Citizens can render the greatest service by providing the police with complete information of a rbobery with a minimum of delay,” he said.
