By DANIEL M. KIDNEY : Times Staft Writer LAURINBURG-MAXTON ARMY AIR BASE, N. C., Aug. 6.—After visiting . newspapermen. had been given a ride in troop-transport gliders, Maj. Mike Murphy took one of his ships into the air to show Must how “safe” they really were. Mounting to 10,000 feet, this famous stunter of power planes cut the tow and did his stuff. The stuff included nifle loops, numerous wingovers, and finally a dramatic landing downwind in front of the spec‘tators’ gallery. Everyone on the ground- breathed

with relief when the tall, smiling|.

major emerged intact with his five crewmen who had been spending so much time standing on their heads in midair in a featherweight ship ithout a motor. "Maj. Mike took the microphone say that gliders were swell for all sorts of maneuvers.

Music in the Air

That is the sort of stuff which as made morale on this post and ive the young flight officers who “pilot the gliders something to emulate. Maj. Murphy never flew a glider until coming here. *Now he is showeveryone what gliders can do. believes in them. - In night maneyvers he had six of the powerless planes laid down practically on a dime in wooded _ Clearing, with only the stars to "‘guide them. One of these carried a band and played music audible from the skies, although the ship was invisible to spectators on the + 8round. “The night performance was as amazing as anything I ever saw,” -said Gen. Henry H. Arnold, head of the army air forces. “We looked up and saw only stars. Hei en we heard band music, as hough from a radio. The tune was *Coming In On a Wing and a Prayer.’ “All at once the gliders were right in front of us and the band unloaded and continued the program by playing ‘Hail, Hail, the, Gang's All Here.”

Pilotg Did Stunts

As the major said at dinner: ., “Those men could be on top of

with bayonets before you knew ey were around.” As to how a civilian feels riding a tow glider, the answer is: Fine, ig the Right officer cuts the towThe pliote took turns showing us Ryhat a glider pilot .can do. We ould dive abruptly and then climb. We would bank and turn and wheel until our speed was gone, and we came down at about 60 miles an our, hitting the runway with a ud and spinning off toa stop. Maj. Murphy thinks this show ave the answer to those who have whispered that the army’s glider program was washed up. Glider troops took part in invading Sicily hug that was just a starter, they ay.

BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 6 (U.P) — Seconds meet today to make new for a saber duel between Raul te Taborda, 33, crusading democratic publisher of Critica, and Santiago Diaz Vieyra, pro-axis editor of the newspaper Cabildo. Taborda apparently made a mistake in letting his opponent pick the place for their first attempt to settle their “differences by the code duello. The police were there waiting for them. - Duelling is prohibited under Argentine law. Taborda offered to charter a plane to fly the party to Uruguay, where dueling is legal. Vieyra’s seconds, including Dr. Manuel Fresco, leader of Union Nacional Argentina, one of the country’s two Fascist organiza tions, refused. Developments yesterday indicated that Vieyra’s seconds themselves had tipped off the police. i Taborda was incensed by charges that he had fled the country to

escape government investigation and

challenged the editors of three proFascist newspapers which had published them to a duel Only Yieyra, 40, accepted.
