‘Killer Net’ Guards Panama From Enemy Dive Bombers

By NAT A. BARROWS

QUARRY HEIGHTS, C. Z. July 23.—Just so much of this. story can be told—and no more. The enemy, if and when he comes to visit Panama, will’ find the miss-

ing chapters for himself. By every token, his discovery is not going to be pleasant or healthy. x \ This much can be revealed: The United States army now has in position

erly constructed that it will ‘be certain destruction for any torpedo plane or dive bomber unwittingly smashing into its nearly invisible folds, This killer net probably has no equal anywhere. body in Panama knows about the barrage balloons floating at varying levels to supplement the coast ar tillery defenses in denying the area to an enemy. The balloons have been up there for six months, the densest barrage field in the world.

Army Doesn’t Say

But few know much about the killer net, its location, its principle, its lethal possibilities. And the army isn’t saying much, just waiting at its defense positions for] the day that most observers here feel will come sooner or later. Designed to protect all vital installations against low-flying torpedo and dive-bombers, the barrage of captive balloons adds a sixth major arin to the defensive units already employed by the coast artillery, as follows: 1. fixed seacoast guns; 2. tractor-drawn guns; 3. anti-aircraft guns includng automatic weapons; 4. railway artillery; 5. conirolled mines.

Proud of Cows

In positions they built themselves, often from salvaged lumber, the soldiers of the halloon barrage watch over their “rubber cows” with a great pride and rivalry. Each unit seeks to have its cable-hauling winch the most efficient in the battalion. Each unit seeks to better the record for changing altitude ievel when the unified order flashes. It is essential to know in advance what the weather will be, so that the barrage can be readjusted as conditions require. “They're temperamental, these | balloons, and we have to handle them carefully,’ explained Lieut. J. L, Marcus of Indianapolis. “As unpredictable as a woman sometimes,” added Lieut. Thomas R. Neely of Pittsburgh. The “balloonatics” have given pet names to their own charges. “Annie” is a petulant little minx; “Long John Silver” is a hardy veteran; “Mary” is a rugged old- -timer with a tough hide. And “Betsy,” ameng other special virtues, is the homey of several rice birds. They have built nests in the ballast pockets of the horizontal fins back aft, and there they return, chirping gayly, whether the balloon is thousands of feet in the air or momentarily on

First Lieut. J. L. Marcus

Ist Lieut. J. L. Marcus, Local Man, Saves Runaway ‘Rubber Cows.’

Barrage balloons are “temperamental . . . and we have to handle

them carefully,” First Lieut. J. L.}

Marcus of Indianapolis told Mr. Barrows while he was gathering material for his article on this page. Lieut. Marcus ought-to know, too, for he has been assigned to the outfit in Panama which has charge of the “rubber cows” for a year. He is the son of Mrs. Ruth Marcus, 3055 Ruckle st. According to his brother, Ai Marcus of the Indianapolis jewelry firm bearing his name, Lieut. Marcus recently made the headlines in a Panama newspaper for saving two of the “rubber cows” that had broken loose.

A Welcome Discovery

Mr. Marcus said that the newspaper explained how hid brother discovered a way to bring the balloons down without having them destroyed, thus saving the government $20,000. Lieut. Marcus has been in service a year and a half and is a graduate of Purdue university. He is 23 and was employed by the American Electric Co. here prior to his enlistment. He has another brother and two sisters living here. They are Harry Marcus, 6120 Park ave.; Mrs, Sylvia Freidman, 3055 Ruckle st., and Mrs. Greta Roth, 5314 Winthrop ave. Another brother and sister live in Pennsylvania. Mr. Marcus: said the family had received a telegram today informing them that Lieut. Marcus was scheduled to call his family by long distance telephone tonight. They’ll probably ask him plenty about the “rubber cows” then.

40-YEAR-OLDS NOW FACE CALL

Liable to Duty Even at 45, State Director Points Out.

~ For some “unaccountable” reason, many men in their 40s have assumed they will not be ‘called to military service, Col. Robinson Hitchcock, state selective service director, pointed out today. He said: : : “This assumption is without basis of fact as selective service regulations now provide that registrants are liable whenever they reach their 20th birthday and they remain liable even after their 45th birthday. provided they were registered before Teaching the age of 45, ”» Consider Dependency, Work Col. Hitchcock also reminded employers and employees that 3-A classifications are no longer lower than 2-A or 2-B. For example, a registrant with a wife as his only dependent, who is not engaged in: an essential active ity, may be considered by a local board before a 2-A or 2-B registrant who is deferred because of the importance of his work. Accordingly, Col. Hitchcock said, employers should file deferment requests immediately for all workers in critical occupations, regardless of the local board classification held by these registrants.

Now Count Can Join U. S. Army

HOLLYWOOD, July 23 (U. P). —Film Star Gene Tierney’s husband, Count Oleg Loiewski Cassini, now can enlist in the U. S. armed forces as an American citizen. Miss Tierney testified Tuesday that Count Cassini, who was born in France of Russian parents and educated in Italy, had sought to enlist but the way was barred because he had not been granted final citizenship papers. New York courts had forbidden Count Cassini the right to remarry within three years of his 1940 divorce from his first wife, Merry Fahrney, heiress to a patent medicine fortune. Federal Judge Harry A. Hollzer held that the New York order applied only in that state and administered Count Cassini the citizenship oath.
