McKEESPORT, Pa., April 7 (U. P).~—John H.’ Skelton of Versailles, a former parachute jumper, hung his ‘chute on a line to inspect it—and started- an airborne invasion scare.

A policeman found the parachute in a tree. Skelton, also searching for the chute, solved the mystery.

Observers Ponder Step as FDR Says Deci-

sion Not Reached.

New York was measured today by the men who have a say in grant-

form and if a uniform can be made to fit him. Primary considerations involved were these: The policy against granting commissions to civilians; the mayor's unique quelifications for a post as a liaison officer with the Italian peoples; the new pronouncement preventing military personnel from playing politics; the

world war I is a major, and that he already- has a number of key jobs. On Capitol Hill, sentiment appeared frosty to suggestions that La Guardia be made a brigadier general. Some senators bristled to his nomination for any military poOthers believed that he should be confirmed if President Roosevelt offers his name.’

Rule Bars Politics

Mr. Roosevelt, at his press conference yesterday, said every one knows the mayor wants active duty, but no decision has been made as to his capacity. If New York's mayor were to go into service,<he would have to doff politics with his civilian clothes. An amendment to army regulations, announced at the height of speculation regarding La Guardia, prevents a soldier on active duty from becoming a candidate for or accepting election to any public office not held by him when his duty began. This would put La Guardia on ice politically until the war is over just as it. has done to Gen. Douglas MacArthur. MacArthur's name has often been mentioned by the press and in congress as a possible presidential candidate. But he has denied any political ambitions.

NEW YORK, April 7 (U. P.)— Mayor F. H. La Guardia said he was standing by for whatever President Roosevelt might have in mind for him to do to aid the nation’s war effort when he returned from Washington last night. “That's fine,” he said after being advised. of the president’s announcement. “Whenever my commander in chief calls, I'll respond.” La Guardia said he would “carry on” as mayor if the president didn’t call on him, but added: “I'm not worried about that.”

J| LAFAYETTE YOUTH MAY GET NEW TRIAL

LAFAYETTE, Ind. April 7 (U. P.) —Possibility of another trial for 16-yéar-old Floyd Loveless of near Lafayette was seen today after the Nevada supreme. court ruled there was a technical error in the verdict of an Elko, Nev. jury which condemned him to death. Loveless was convicted. last September of the murder of Constable A. H. Berning at Elko as the youth was fleeing from the Indiana Boys’ school. He was sentenced to die in the lethal gas chamber at the state prison at Carson City.

NAZI GHANGES FACE BUT ESCAPE FAILS

GRAVENHURST, Ontario, April q (U. P.)~—A bizarre attempt to escape from an internment camp for German soldiers was at an end today when Lieut. Siegfried Schmidt of the German luftwaffe answered roll call for the first time in four months, Duging that time he had been concealed in the camp by fellow prisoners and had converted his pleasant, oval face to one with a pointed chin, accomplished by crude but efficient plastic surgery. : Schmidt, sullen about the failure of his scheme, refused to explain his method and international law prevents camp officials from forcing him to talk. But it was evident that Schmidt used a knife to carve flesh from his ample jowls, graft it

{to his chin and mold it there. Prob-

ably with the aid of a tumbler, The entire outline of ‘his face was changed.

CREDIT UNION GROUP "ELECTS DUKE HANNA

Duke E. Hanna last night was elected president of the Central Indiana chapter of credit unions at a meeting in the Claypool hotel.

JAPS CAN'T HIDE FROM YANKEES.

‘Flying Infantrymen’ in

India Fly Under Trees To Strafe Foe.

By WALTER BRIGGS United Press Staff Correspondent U. 8S. FIGHTER BASE, Northeastern India, April 7.—Japanese soldiers have found it doesn’t do

§ | them any good to hide under trees

to avoid strafing attacks by U. S. allied agents who

reported today. “A Jap soldier told me ‘We can

:§ | take anything except those Amer-

ican planes,’” one of the agents said. “The soldier said, ‘We ‘hide under trees in order to avoid them and the planes come right under the trees after us.’”

Want Better Planes The fliers at this isolated base are menibers of the army’s “flying infantry” and there is nothing they won't take up in the air with them to toss at the Japs. They operate

® in Curtis P-40 Warhawks, which i | never were designed to carry bombs,

but when they go aloft they take along everything from fragmentations to “bridgebusters.” Currently, the “flying infantry” has two gripes. The fliers want it to quit raining because the weather has curtailed their bombing and machine-gunning operations, and they want some better planes. “The P-405 are better than the Jap zeros, it's true, but we don’t have the advantage we could have if we had some later type planes,”

Roseville, Cal. The weather couldn't be ‘worse now that the monsoon season has begun. The men watch for occasional patches of sunlight like schoolboys in a classroom and they usually are in the air minutes after the clouds go away. According to the allied agents, dozens of Japanese and Burmese have been killed by machine guns and bombs. They Want Action

Although the squadron’s chief purpose is<to fend off enemy air assaults, the devastating effect on morale of Japanese ground troops has been even more helpful, the agents say. They have engaged in only three major air battles but have downed 20 Jao planes for certain with 30 others listed as probably shot down. Only two American pilots have been lost. Some of the veterans here have engaged in 35 to 40 missions’ during the year the base has been established. Maj. Howard Wright, 27, Houston, Tex., squadron leader, illustrated the eagerness of the fliers with a chat he had with one of the newer arrivals, It went something like this: “Hey; major, when you gonna give us some flying missions?” “You've already had two this
