Newspaper Page Text,8 Capital Journal. Salem. Or.. Saturday. Nov. 13, 1948 If'ontinutd front I'lue 4) Wiile on this trip I received a pieoe of information that cur ried me back again to Ameri ' ca' traditional peacetime in .difference, toward preparedness. I was told by a troop command er that his unit had just received its final consignment of "ba zookas," the infantryman' best weapon of defense against tanks. Since his command was to be gin embarking tne next day. he was completely at a loss as to how to teach hi? men the use of this vitally needed weapon. He said, "I don't know anything about it myself, except from hearsay." Nothing more could now be done in London. It was a relief to lock up a desk. To account for my absence from London an elaborate story was circulated that I was mak ing a visit to Washington. Even , the president helped out in this particular deception. Actually, we took off for Gib raltar, in a flight of five Fort resses, on November 5, 1942. CHAPTER VI At Gibraltar our headquar ters were established in the most dismal setting we occupied dur ing the war. The subterranean passages un der the Rock provided the sole available office space, and in - them was located the signal equipment by which we expect ed to keep in touch with the commanders of the three assault forces. The eternal darkness of the tunnels was here and there par tially pierced by feeble electric bulbs. Damp, cold air in block long passages was heavy with a stagnation that did not notice ably respond to the clattering efforts of electric fans. Through the arched ceilings came a constant drip, drip, drip of surface water that faithfully but dreadily ticked oft the sec onds of the interminable, almost unendurable, wait which occurs between completion of a mili " tary plan and the moment action begins. There was no other place to life. ' In November, 1P42. the Allied Nations possessed, except for the Gibraltar Fortress, not a single spot of ground in all the region of western Europe, and in the Mediterranean area, noth ing west of Malta. Britain's Gibraltar made pos sible the invasion of northwest Africa. Without it the vital air cover would not have been quickly established on the North African fields. In the early phases of the in vasion the small airdrome there had necessarily to serve both as an operational field and as i staging point for aircraft mak ing the passage from England to the African mainland Even several weeks before D day it became jammed with fighter craft. Every inch was taken up by either a Spitfire or a can of gasoline All this was exposed to the enemy's re connaissance planes and not even an attempt at camouflage could be made. Worse, the airfield itself lay on the Spanish border, separat ed from Spanish territory only by a barbed-wire fence. Politically, Spain was leaning Ing toward the Axis, and, al most physically, leaning against the barbed-wire fence were any number of Axis agents. Every day we expected a ma jor att.-irk by hostile bombers, as each day went by without such an attack we went to bed puzzled, even astonished. The only explanation for it was that our measures for de reiving the enemv were working ueil. We knew that long before the atlark could take place the Axis would learn ol increased activity at Ginraltar. We honed the enemy would com lurie that we were making another, tin usually ambitious attempt to re inforce Malta, winch hftd been in dire straits for months. Our flight to Gibraltar had been hazardous. It had been accomplished only after two pre vious attempts to make the pas sage from England had been frustrated by foul weather. Before we finally took off from England the olficer com manding the six Korlresses as signed to take our party to Gi braltar deliberately placed be fore me, together with his tech nical advice against making the flight, the decision as to wheth er or not he should take off. It was the only time in my life I was faced with that sit uation because normally the air commander's decision is final It did not seem a propitious omen for the great adventure but we had to go through. We flew at an average height of a hundred feet. When the great Rock of Gi braltar finally loomed out of its concealing haze my pilot re marked, "This is the first time I have ever had to climb to get into landing traffic at the end of a long trip!" Even as late as the afternoon before the attack, the weather reports from one of our sub marines in the Casablanca re gion were gloomy, and I tenta tively decided, unless conditions should improve, to divert the ex pedition into Gibraltar. All our plans would thus be badly up set,, but this seemed better than to steam aimlessly around the ocean, dodging submarines. At no time during the war did I experience a greater sense of relief than when, upon the fol lowing morning, I received a meager report to the effect that beach conditions were not too bad and the Casablanca landing! was proceeding as planned. I said a prayer of thanksgiv ing: my greatest fear had been dissipated. (Continued tomorrow) 2895 l SMALL, MEDIUM. LARGI lit Sweet Drramn Linurnp love lies like these mane Brand Christmas Rifts!
