The peppery little black and white mongrel has spent six years with the air force. He was first picked up in Australia by Lt. Jack Coghlan of Longview, Texas, and later flew 25 combat missions in the Second World War standing in the catwalk of a Doulas Havoc bomb er., In the years since then Moe has lived on practically every air base in the Pacific and had half a dozen or more owners. He. is known by name to hundreds of airmen in the Far East. Since coming to Korea his duties have been strictly limited to ground observation and security patrols. "He won't make any more mis sions," said his present owner, Sgt. Daniel Kinney, San Francisco. "He's really got combat fatigue he shakes all over now every time he goes up in a plane." But Moe doesn't like war on the ground much better. The soldiers sometimes tease him by pointing their carbines at him. bach time Moe barks worriedly until the gun is put away. - Moe wears Sgt. Kinney's" dog tags and there is a deep and real attachment between them. At the sergeant's command Moe will sit up, roll over, shake hands, speak cr retrieve anything from a rock to a baseball bat. His greatest enemy is a tattered stuffed monkey that hangs from a wall and bears the sign "Special ists on Gorilla Warfare." For some reason Moe developed a frantic hate for the silent monkey leering down at him. Several times a day he comes into the office just to bark at it. "But if that monkey ever came untied and fell on him." Grinned Kinney, "old Moe probably wouls n't quit running until he reached Japan." The Korean war has upset the plans of many people. But 1 think Col. Richard Whitson of Rockport, III., had the most unusual objec tion to it. Sitting in a tent and looking out across a rainswept field at some T-6 air control planes he helps service, Whitson said dryly: "I am supposed to get discharged next week. And this darn war has us so busy I can't even get a three day pass to go to Japan and Reen list". A Mustang pilot dived so low at an enemy tank the other day that a huge fragment of a rocket he hit the tank with rebounded and lodged in his own gas tank. The slender dark-haired flyer. down to his last drop of fuel, made a perfect emergency landing herp Climbing out he took one look at the damaged tank and said cooly Y I -SEW-GEM SU2IE' I I PFOFCSM...SHE I .out nti HAKES5EiflHG . ... -4 ."That's all for this ship" Then he strolled away lo hitchhike a ride i hack lo his own Dase. Staff Sgt. Michael Sparks, St. Louis, whistled in surprise as he inspected the plane, it s a real miracle, ne sa.rj, 'Six inches one way and we would have lost a wheel. Six inches the other way and he would have had it in his lap." Capt. Hal Wilson Lanmark, a pub lie information officer, dislodged the rocket fragment. It weighed . 25 pounds. They aren t supposed to dive De- low 500 feet," he said. "But that pilot must have been down to 50 ft. when he caught that one.
