SPOKANE, Nov. 14--Capt.
R. M. Emahiser, Second air lorce
public relations officer, disclosed
Saturday that 1200 civil air pa
trol pilots are flying their "puddle
jumpers" 15,000 miles a day in
eight western states in a courier
service for the Second air lorce.
He added that the service may
soon be extended to five other
southwestern states. I
The captain observed that six
months ago the Washington wing
was "hard at work but getting
'nowhere." The fliers, he said, were
doing close order drill attending
classes, doing formation flying and
trying to keep out of the way of
the big bombers.'
With the arrival here of Maj.
Gen. Robert Olds as commanding
officer of the Second air force,
which is charged with the train
ing of all heavy bomber crews
for the nation, the CAP began a
series of experimental flights un

service was expanded as a re

nation lying between the western
coastal range and the Mississippo,
will leave soon to survey other
states for probable extension of
service to them.
The states he will visit are Ari

Stiip's Story

Gun crews in the turrets ate
and slept at their posts for two
days of continuous action.
"Our first job was to go out
to the Atlantic and help bring
a convoy in and it was not until
we got. to sea that we knew what
we were going to do," one young
officer said.
"When we reached the rendez
vous I never saw so many ships
in my life. They filled the hori
zon.? The cruiser, which has figur
ed heavily during the past two
years in daring Malta exploits,
helped bring the convoy safely
to Oran during the night before
the zero hour.
"The French fought with great
courage and it was very distaste
ful to us to have to fire but we
couldn't let them get at the
transports," an officer said. .
A late count . showed two de
stroyers beached, a third sunk
and a fourth probably sunk.
Meanwhile there were a great
many submarines about and in
two days the cruiser had to dodge
about 35 torpedoes.
In answer to a call from troops
held up on shore by a fort, the
cruiser dashed in within range
of the fort's nine-inch guns and
was immediately straddled by
shells.
"It was no place for us. We'd
have been sunk in a minute and
we laid down a smoke screen
and got out of there," a lieuten
ant explained.
"We called up a battleship and
she pumped shells in."
Just before the fort capitulat
ed, American troops ashore
called upon the cruiser again
and. despite the danger of shore
batteries, she rushed la and dis
charged broadsides Into the
enemy troop concentrations.
As we left the ship the execu
tive officer hurried up to bid us
good-hye, still worried.
i "I told you everything Just
went according to plan," he said.
"Absolutely nothing happened."

of glory. .. i
These young veterans kids
who a short time ago were lug
ging the pigskin for such colleges
as Michigan, Oklahoma, Iowa,
South Carolina, Alabama, Geor

ance of endurance.
Flying Vs continually wi t h o u t
sleep, they rode the skies over Al
geria for 48 hours in the early
stages of the Campaign, knocking
out armored columns -and gun po
sitions and permitting the ground
forces to occupy vital positions.
It was their first call to duty,
and they answered with all they
had.
Lt Col. F. M. Dean of St
Petersburg, Fla, is a guy with a
star in his pocket meaning in
army lingo a guy to watch. He
accounted for five of 20 tanks de
stroyed by American fighters in
this area.
Dean had no chance at aerial
combat in Algeria, but proved
himself an expert at ground straf
ing. Modestly he had little to say
of his successes beyond:
"We got in the war to win, and
I am in there pitching with the
rest of the gang."
Lt Thomas Taylor, 24, of Tulsa,
Okla., attacked a gun post near
Oran and got two bullets in his
tail. Then he blasted a tank.
"Now .that organized resistance
has ceased, we are ready to go on
to another theater,"he said. "We
