JEANETTE, Pa., May 17 (U. P).—A group of sharpshooters today formed what is believed to be the first civillan anti-para-

{ chutist legion in the United

States to function in case of airmen invading this country. Patterned after Britain's sharpshooters who are organized to pick off any parachutists who might land in England during the European war, the Jeanette legion was organized because it felt the Pittsburgh district, which includes Jeanette, might be one of the first points marked by possible invading airmen. Heading the organization are F. F. Brust of the Jeanette Gun Club, and W. H. Landis, weekly newspaper editor.
