ON ‘THE WESTERN FRONT (By Wireless) The

ways of -an invasion .turned out to be all very new to Pfc.-Tommy Clayton, the 20th division infantry-

man we were writing aboGt yesterday, 1t was new to thousands of others also, for they

have the proud badge of combat Infantryman, worn only by those who have been through the mill Three of his four victims he got in one long blast of his Browning automatic rifle. He was stationed in the bushes at a bend in a gravel road, covering a crossroads about 80 yards ahead of him. Suddenly three German soldiers came out a side road and foolishly stopped to talk right in the middle of the crossroads. The B. A. R. has’ 20 bullets in a clip. Clayton held her down for the whole clip. Thé three Germans went down, never to get up. His fourth one he thought was a Jap when he killed him. In the early days of the invasion lots of soldiers thought’ they were fighting Japs, scattered ig with the German troops. They were actually Mongolian Russians,” With strong oriental features, "who resembled Japs to the untraveled Americans. On this fourth killing, Clayton was covering an infantry squad as it worked fotward along a hedgerow, ‘There were snipers in the trees in front. Clayton spotted one and sprayed the tree with his auto-

matic rifle, and out tumbled this man he thought was a Jap.

Inside Indianapolis By Lowell Nussbaum

By JOHN W. HILLMAN, Pinch-Hitting for Nussbaum,

WHILE DRIVING in the neighborhood of 22 E. T3d st. recently, you may have noticed an agitated citizen frantically churning the air with an old broom. And you probably wondered-about the man. That, my friends, was not a modern Don Quixote stepping 10 fast rounds with imaginary windmills, On the contrary, it's Ed Magel, president of .the Crescent Paper Co., and we can assure you that he's entirely sane and sober. But-he has troubles, and he has sent out an SOS to all his friends. Some kind of flying moles or digging wasps or subterranean P-38s have taken over the lawn of his home and he needs help to blast them out--golfers preferred, and bring along your mashie niblacks. The. varmints are about the size of a small training plane, Ed says. They sound: like a B-20 in a power dive, dig holes like a block~ buster and throw up a mound of soil that buries the grass for sevefal inches around-—which doesn’t help the looks of a lawn that Ed, with toll, sweat and dividends to the water company, has managed to keep green despite the recent drought,

Good Exercise

THE BEST METHOD of attack, Ed told one of our agents, is with a broom (fly swatlers only tickle the critters) and killing one, even after you have him ‘bracketed (no mean feat in itself) is equivalent to two holes of golf. - He goes out immediately after dinner and stays in there flailing until dark. It's an uphill battle, he says, and so far his only help has been from his 2-year-old granddaughter, who comes out on Sundays and manages to get between him and every promising target. - As soon as we heard about this, we hustled over to Frank Wallace, the state entomologist, who knows all the bugs by their first (and Latin) names. Why ves, Prank said, those are digger wasps—and he's had a Jot of calls about them this year. . . Can't ‘figure out why, unless it's because people have been watering their lawns more this year because it's been so dry. And the wasps don't like being drowned out of their burrows and take out after everyone in sight. “But what can you do, Prank?” we asked,

‘Hot Airplanes’ NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—British aeronautical magazines report that squadrons of jet-propelled fighter aircraft ‘are being forined in the United States and it now is revealed that the twin-jet-propelied fighter built by Bell has been designated the “P-59." Fighter warfare will soon take a decided turn. Speeds will be far higher and the tactics must be radically revised. In addition, the faster craft necessarily must be armed with guns possessing far greater range. It's one thing to dream-talk about 700 or 800 miles an hour, but just suppose someone suggested we might have to refrigerate the wings and fuselage at such speeds. Well, I suggest the probable neces- ’ sity for such refrigeration. As air is compressed, its temperature is raised. Meteors burn themselves up due to the atmospheric pressures they set up by their high speed, plus the friction of passing through the air. Aeronautical engineers point out that at a temperature of 60 degrees a plane traveling at speeds between T00 and 800 miles an hour would build up temperatures of between 150 and 160 degrees.

CLAYTON'S WEIRDEST experience would be funny if it weren't so flooded with pathos. He was returning with a patrol one moonlit night when the enemy opened up on them.” Tommy leaped right through a hedge and, spotting-a- foxhole, plunged into it. To his amazement and fright, there was a German in the foxhole, sitting pretty, holding a machine pistol in his hands. Clayton shot him three times in the chest before you could say scat. The German hardly moved. And then Tommy realized the man had been killed earlier. He had All these experiences seem to have left no effect on this mild soldier from Indiana, unless to make him even quieter than before. ‘ The worst experience of all is just the ‘accumulated blur, and the hurting vagueness of too long in the

“Leave ‘them alone,” “he said, polishing his scalp. Which sounds like pretty sound advice, but no help fo] Mr, Magel. Prank did suggest that if. you kept tramping down the burrows for about a week or so, the. wasps might get discouraged and move over to the neighbor's yard.

Interesting Creatures .

THEY'RE INTERESTING little creatures, and fun to watch, Frank says, and were willing to take his word for it. He often spends a half hour or more playing a game with them, he says. . Here's the game. Frank breaks a match in half and drops it down the entrance to the burrow. Then’ he sits quietly and watches. Pretty soon Mr. Wasp comes out lugging the match, carries it about an inch away and then goes back to whatever he was doing when he was rudely interrupted. Then Frank pokes the match back in the hole. Out comes the wasp again; carries the match a little farther away and again retires, In goes the match again, and out it comes and is lugged even farther away, This time the wasp walks around it stifflegged, cocks its head and studies the stick, as though he were wondering “What goes on here?” And pretty soon, as the process is repeated, Mr. Wasp brings the match out. gets a half-nelson on it and flies away. He's gone for about 10 minutes, and when he returns, he kicks up the dirt a couple of times, struts around and tosses his head—quite obviously saying in wasplanguage, “Now, you so-and-so, See if you can get back from there!” . .

Applied Aerodynamics

THE BURROW, of course, is the wasp's nest. To it he carries a cicadia, which he has stung to death and on it the female lays an hd which becomes next year's waspling. The cicadia is much bigger than the wasp, and Frank says he likes to watch the wasp take off to fly home with its big load. It builds, an inclined ramp, of one stick leaning against another, and after fanning its wings furiously to gain power it launches itself from there. It may crash the first time: if so; it drags the cicadia back to the ramp and tries again,

this time beating its wings faster before throwing in|

the clutch. It's quite a sight. Frank says. - And he did break down and say, finally, that you could get rid of the wasps in your lawn by poisoning them with Cyanogas. But we Sud see that he Dated

Now it is time to study the designing of aircraft to fit the airports we can afford to build and maintain. The. great cost of airports will be passed along to airline passengers and private aircraft operators so it is wise to build them as economically as possible. The 'basic design of aircraft landing gear has remained unchanged for 25 years. We speak glibly of the coming air age without more than incidental concern for cost and the facilities requisite for landing and take-off. I am not an aeronautical engineer, and therefore, I don't propose to supply the landing gear and wing design which will fit the one-runway type airport—the kind we can afford to build.

Solve Every Problem

BUT OUR aeronautical engineers have solved every problem we have proposed. They gave us highspeed aircraft, and when we rejected these because of their dangerously high speed takeoff and landing, these ingenious engineers developed slots on the entering edges of the wing and flaps on the trailing’ edges to give us low takeoff and landing speeds, These engineers will give us the type of aircraft which can be operated safely from the type of airports we can afford to build. But nothing will be done until the challenge is presented to them. »

The fact that City Engineer Henry was slated for a $2500 a year raise through anclusion of a new salary item for His participation in track elevation affairs also had councilmen perplexed. They pointed out that Mr. Henry is limited to $5000 a year by statute. If the additional $2500 were granted. they! said, Mr. Henry might be construed as overstepping the law.
