An authority on military aviation and tactics gives his opin­ ion as to the power of the United States in the air. How good is our air force? Can we bomb Tokio again? Can we keep our own coast cities from being bombed? Sagen- ' dorph gives the answer as he sees it and his opinion is backed by facts. In addition to his knowledge he has skill in writing and the combination makes a very enjoy- able book. “Bride of Glory” by Bradda Field. Have you any romance in you?

This Comes Under The Heading: Hot News? The soldier (we never got his name, editor), was stirring cof­ fee at Service Club No. 2 Mon­ day evening and watching the little sketches walking in and out and sitting down, etc. Absorbed in this, he didn’t notice that each stir was bring­ ing his cup closer to the table’s edge, until—it happened.

After the historic treachery at Pearl Harbor, "Pop” re-enlisted in the army to serve again wherever his service« could be utilized.

To his sur­ prise and delight, “Gus” found an abundant quantity of Copenhagen on hand. As a result, “Gus” feels a closer bond of kinship with the officers of the post. Any day now we anticipated seeing “Gus” sport­ ing a gold or silver bar on each shoulder whilst chewing contented­ ly on a copious cud of Copenhagen. Characters seem to travel in threesomes these days. For example, there are Joe Doran, Joe Johnson and Larry Lusich whose bewildering antics in the first bar­ racks seem to qualify them for a Section Eight. Then there are Tom­ my Radzewich, Philip Piper and Pat Nicolosi ■ who have the un­ happy citizens of the fourth pla­ toon reeling in dismay.
