V Correspondent Finds Routine
Bomber Flight Plenty Exciting
(Editor's Note B-26 bombers are taking a large and haz
ardous share of the air war in Korea. United Press Staff
Correspondent Glenn A. Stackhouse went along on a night
combat mission along the Manchurian border. In the follow
ing dispatch he describes what for the B-26 pilots but not
for him was "routine flight.")
By GLENN A. STACKHOUSE
U. S. Air Base, Southern Japan, Dec. 13 (U When a B-26
fighter-bomber goes howling down between a couple of moun
tains on a pitch-black Korean night, it is like stepping off the
Empire State building at midnight.
Once you are on your way it is too 'late to change your mind.
"Sure" said Col. Virge L. Zol-
lcr, 3rd bomb wing commander.
when I asked to go along on a
night ride. "I'll fly you myself.
You can ride the co-pilot's seat."
I squeezed with the rest of the
crew into the undersized cockpit,
before I knew we were heading
for that hot little section of
frozen north'vest Korea from
Sinuiju and ,.e Yalu river south
to Chongchon. Lately it has been
the No. 1 spot for the enemy's
Russian-built MIG-15 jets.
Zoller,, a husky, balding, 36-year-old
West Pointer from Har
Wlingen, Tex., pointed to a gadget
f overhead.
"If we have to bail out pull
i. this one and the canopy will fly
off," he said. "Just slide off the
wing and you're on your own.
I'll be right behind you."
The "Black Magic" took off
like a startled duck. Two hours
and 30 minutes later we were
heading north between Pyong
yang and Chinnampo. The sun
still was fairly high and visibil
ity was good.
We dropped to below 1,000
feet and went sweeping up
twisting dirt road, standing first
on one wing tip and then the
other. The B-26 boys fly their
bombers like a bunch of frustrat
ed jet pilots
A sleepy-looking Korean vil
lage loomed up ahead.
Our guns snapped and yam
mered as we went in a tree-top
level and a stream of tracers
arched up at us from the left.
A well-hidden Chinese had open
ed up on us with a machine
gun.
It was almost dark when the
colonel said, "That's the Yalu
Right in front of us was
broad, ice-covered river.
I better swing around or
we'll find ourselves on the wrong
side," he said. If it hadn t been
for the closed canopy I could
have spat into Manchuria as he
banked to the west and headed
toward the coast.
About three miles from Sinui
Ju, the bombardier called from
x his seat in the nose. "That looks
t-like a military installation of
,' some kind."
It was a good-sized cluster of
long, barracks-type buildings
around a bigger structure that
appeared to be a facta? of some
sort. Smoke was coming from
the chimney. There were plenty
ol people there all right.
Zoller went down on the place
a dive. The building loomed
large and close when he opened
up with .50's and unleashed
couple of rockets.
They exploded in a cluster of
Orange fire. -The armor-pierc
ing .50s laced into the build
ings.

Then down we went again i
with the .50s and rockets racing
ahead of us, and as we passed;
over the target I could hear the
faint "crump" of the exploding
bombs
As we pulled away we could
see a cloud of dirt erupting and
the start of a first-class fire.
It was pitch dark in a few
minutes, but the colonel wasn't
through. He gave the town of
Charywong a strafing from end
to end and then he spotted a
camp fire flickering in the dark
ness in a nest of hills.
That was the one that sold
me on life in the ground forces.
The B-26 went down into a black
void that was like diving into
a tube of ink.
My eyes felt like they were
hanging out on my cheeks but
the colonel was gazing serenely
through his gunsights as if he
was watching a slightly boring
movie. Our rain of destruction
practically smothered the cam
fire, and from the fringe of the
target you could see the winking
different-colored lights.
It was from the muzzles of
small arms, as the surprised com
munists fired back at us. On the
second pass the colonel pressed
his trigger button and nothing
happened. That broke his com
posure. "Oh, for sake!" he howl
ed. "My guns are empty."
Back at the base, after hours
in the air, the colonel made his
report to the intelligence of
ficer:
"Pretty routine mission. Noth
ing much happened."
Loretta Young Picks 12 I
Best Dressed Film Men
By BOB THOMAS
Hollywood, Dec. 13 Uft This seems to be the season for 10-bcst
lists, so let's have Loretta Young choose Hollywood's best-dressed
men.
Miss Young seems well qualified to make the selection. She
is considered by many to be Hollywood's best-dressed gal. Being
a pillar of filmtown society, shef-
sees the movie men in their best
(and worst) finery at parties and
dinners.
What's more, she seemed en
tirely willing to go out on a
limb.
.
"I may get a lot of men mad
at me for leaving them out," she
remarked, "but I'll take the
chance."
It turned out that she named
a round dozen. Here they are,
not in order of preference:
1. William Boyd. "I pick him
not because he has influenced
the dress of more young men
than any style-setter in history
but because he is very well
dressed himself. When he is out
at private affairs, he is smart
and conservative, with nary a
high heel or Hoppy button."
. 2. Ray Milland. "He is ele
gant. If he is at dinner, he wears
a dinner jacket; if at a family
affair, a dark blue suit. If I saw
him in densest Africa, I would
expect to see him wearing
mess jacket."
3. Ezio Pinza. "Because he
made my stepfather sit up and
take notice and now he is one of
the best-dressed men in our family."

4. Robert Taylor. "He dresses
with care. He is the only man
I know who can wear a smoking
jacket at home and not seem em
barrassed. Most men apologize
for it."
5. Joseph C o t t e n. "The
Princeton type conservative
but smart. He looks as though
he smells good."
6. Ricardo Montalban. "I
pick him not because he is my
brother-in-law, but because he
is always spic-and-span and looks
graceful. I don't know whether
it s because of his tailor or his
own natural rhythm, but he al
ways seems fluid in his clothes."
8. Robert Mitchum. "On the
occasions I've seen him on the
set or at a party he always
dominates his clothes. He wears
them; they don't wear him. He
usually wears a dark blue suit
and a man can never look wrong
in one.
9. Barry Sullivan. "He has a
fine physique and he doesn't
ruin it by padding his shoulders."
10. Fred Astaire. "He is pre
cise, neat and truly natty, in the
best sense of the word. He is a
New Yorker with an exclama
tion mark."
II. Clark Gable. "He wears
casual clothes casually. And
don't forget what he did to the
turtle-neck sweater."
12. Van Johnson. "I pick him
because the way he dresses is
not only fun for him, but for all
those who see him. Nothing
ever matches on him and he
Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Wednesday, Dec. 13, 1950 21
thinks nothing of wearing red
socks with a dinner jacket. He
seems always at ease and never
watches the creases in his pants.
