PENSACOLA, Fla, Mar. 27—Pifteen minutes at this naval air station and you feel as if you had bees in your bonnet. Air power must be here to stay. : Overhead some sort of aircraft is constantly buzzing. The Flying Farmers are adding to the ‘din with their putt-putts, Don’t misconstrue that remark. After you have flown 8000 miles in a four-engine monster and then rest your eyes on a Piper Cub—well, they're putt-putts. a ,. All the cloud-hopping, clod-busting flyers haven't arrived yet. But they are due later today. The festivities, or familiarization visit, don't really get under way until morning. " * @ 0H BILL RENSHAW, executive vice president of the Flying Farmers, was on deck to meet our Navy transport. .Right off he asked how the trip was since he encountered strong headwinds on the way down Sunday. Everyone hooted and hollered. It took us exactly 3% hours from Indianapolis to Pensacola with beautiful conditions throughout. - Bill said that somewhere in Alabama when he saw a farmer with a mule and plow making better time than he was, he knew the wind was strong. That's a putt-putt for you. > SS WE LANDED at Saufley Afr Station. As usual, the Navy, strong on public relations, was out in force with guides, a station wagon and a bus. As usual, we were askéd to put our luggage on one vehicle, then told to put it on another, take it out again and carry it somewhere else. It all finally landed on a truck. The clearing house for Flying Farmers and
guests was ‘the Municipal Alrport. All farmers
had to land there before they could proceed to Pensacola, three scrub brushes, two ponds and four bouncessaway. : : Hoosiers already checked in included Robert Apple and Denneth Biddle, Sheridan; Carl and Max Chapman, Muncie; Denneth Haffner, - Lebanon, ‘ahd Mr. and Mrs. James Creviston, Marion. hh. do THE. MARION couple drove to Pensacola. They were afraid of the weather. It took them three days to make it. - Several] early arrivals from Wisconsin tried their hand at Gulf fishing. One fish was landed.
It Happened Last Night
By Earl Wilson
NEW YORK, Mar. 27—Not wishing to violate the Columnists’ Code, I twitted Joan Bennett about being a grandmother. . “Go right ahead,” she said. “I'm like a freak now—I have a grandchild.” Joan seemed right happy about it, and inasmuch as she looks about 32 at 41 she should. People call her Granny. She calls herself Granny. When Joan became a grandmother, she got a telegram from Marlene Dietrich, saying: “Congratulations and thanks for taking the heat off me.” “I'm always coupled with Marlene and Gloria Swumson—but actually I think I'm a little younger,” Joan said. She was smiling satanically. For years she's been forthright about her age. She's the youngest of three girls, although her sister Constance gets younger over the years, and Joan now refers to her kiddingly as “my twin. sister.” Po Gb GRANNY JOAN has touch of gray in her hair and doesn’t do anything about it. Recently she was on a hair-dye program. A big shot came up, arms flailing, and said, “You'll have to put something on your hair—it's gray!” He was almost apoplectic. ; “Yes, it's been gray and it'll be gray for sometime,” Joan said coolly. " “But we don’t put anything on it. The gray highlights it and it looks shiny,” she added pretty firmly. “But why don’t you dye it?” I asked her. “Aw, pew,” said Joan. “After a certain age if you dye your hair, it looks hard.” Joan has something to look forward to. In about 15 or 30 years from now she'll probably referred to as “the beautiful, young-looking Great-Grandmother Joan Bennett.” She was married at 16. If her daughter’d done likewise, Joan would have been a granndy at 34— instead of 5 years later. “I see nothing wrong with people's glands functioning properly,” Joan said sternly. feo. ONCE, she said, Loretta Young got a movie part of a woman older than she is, although, she explained, “8he’s younger than I am.” “Really?” we said. “Yes, she's two years younger,” said Joan. “At least she USED to be two years younger than I am. Now that I'm a grandmother, she may be a LOT younger than I am.” SB TODAY'S BEST LAUGH: In the Peggy Lee Copacabana, swell ventriloquist Jimmy Nelson tells about the girl who said she just threw on a dress. “You know,” says the dummy, Danny O'Day, “She almost missed.” dS WISH I'D SAID THAT: “For TV comedians, prosperity is just around the corny”’—Ted Berkelmann.
Boon and Menace
By H.D. Quigg
TOKYO, Mar. 27—To all makers of portable typewriters, greetings: Your valuable machines are the handiest gadgets a war correspondent can have around. They drive a person crazy trying to type on them, but when you've got them with you in the field you need not want for anything—if you've been foresighted. They can be made to take on the quality of one of those self-sufficient units that fasttalking salesmen peddle at fairs—those handy, .all-in-one potato-peeler can-opener-olive - stuffer onion-squelcher things, > SS THEY'RE A boon to persons traveling light and a menace to the overnight-bag business. Here's why. Right now I'm carrying in my portable case the following: Four notebooks filled with decaying facts, one extra type-writer ribbon for emergencies, one roll of cellophane tape for mending things, 16 unanswered letters, one small brush, a large bath towel, six lead pencils, one nail clipper, a file of carbon copies of stuff I've written, a folder ‘of carbon paper, 15 airmail envelopes, a sizable stock of paper to write on, four pamphlets from the city-planning department of Hiroshima. Clippings from newspapers, a book of Korean songs, (look, I'm not kidding about this), a waterproof rubber bag, a large tube of shaving cream, two tubes of toothpaste, one can of tooth powder, a toothbrush in a case, four rolls of dental floss, one tube of fungicide, one comb, one razor in a case, four packages of razor blades, one bottle of hair dressing, one bar of soap, and—I don't care,

Mr. Inside Buzzes With Flying Farmers
No one wanted to talk about the catch. They waved their hands, shook their heads and muttered strong words. We got the impression that Wisconsin was the place to fish. Four Flying Farmers from Texas landed in a brand new Beechcraft Bonanza. I hate to say it, but they had the classiest plane on the field. Three of the men wore cowboy boots and all wore Stetsons. No guns, not even Hopalong Cassidy shooters. EL Se SB WE ALSO HEARD of the stone-deaf farmer from Virginia who piloted his own plane. As a copilot he had a former Navy man, now retired after 30 years service. He doesn't use a radio in ~ his plane. All the scuttlebutt (Navy term for hot air) we heard in Indianapolis about seeing jet fighters landing and taking off the USS Monterey turned out to be propwash. We'll see qualification flights, but they will be propeller-driven aircraft. A Chicago photographer inquired if he could arrange a putt-putt landing on the carrier. The public information officer almost fell over. * > 4 WE WERE informed that Hoosier-born Capt. D. L. Mills, skipper of the carrier, will do everything except run his ship aground—and allow a Flying Farmer to bring his plane aboard. Also, when Arthur Godfrey came ‘to Pensacola for a refresher course, he asked permission to land his Navion on the Monterey. Nothing doing. The cadets paraded for the visitors, they carried rifles, of all things. It's said here, a new cadet will salute anything that moves and paint anything that doesn’t. - ; * >» = - VICE-ADM.

Spotlight on Washington—

British Shindigs Lack Warmth
CHAPTER THREE By MARY VAN RENSSELAER THAYER WASHINGTON, Mar. 27—The Diplomatic Corps is the most elegant segment of Washington's social and political life. | Some 1500 ‘‘dips,” as they are |irreverently nicknamed, are at[tached to 58 elaborate embassies ‘and 15 ditto legations. The “dips” stem from every civilized nation. {They represent every colors race {and creed. | The diplomat’s principal job is to make friends and influence | Americans who may be useful to {his own fair land.
