Secret Air Bases
for Hop to Russia
Finally Revealed
Seattle, Aug. 2 (U.R) Hep.
Warren G. Magnuson, D., Wash.,
today revealed existence of the
longsecret RussijnwMrnned air
bases in northwestern United
States, Canada and Alaska from
which Soviet pilots fly American-made
planes in an almost
endless stream.
The congressman said hun
dreds of fighter planes and
short-range medium bombers
have been delivered to the Rus
sian government at Fairbanks,
Alaska, after flying the route
of the Alaska highway.
"For nearly two years, In bne
of the war's most closely guard
ed operations, American ferry
command pilots and Russian
airmen have been doing a tre
mendous Job," Magnuson said.
He said American fighter
planes are delivered to a modi
fication center nt Great Falls,
Mont., where Russian techni
cians direct removal of certain
equipment they consider "ex
cess gadgets".
At Fairbanks, he said, tha
Russians operate a military air
base with ground crews, trans
port pilots, weather men, fight
er pilots and interpreters.
"The planes are armed,
adorned with the red star, load
ed with 'fly-away' equipment,
and dispatched to Siberia with
the regularity of commercial
airline operations," Magnuson
said.

Editorial Correspondence
Chicago, July 29. This, our last day in Chicago, was profitably
spent. Most of it at the military display down at the former worlds
fair grounds, near Soldiers Field where the big pro and college
star football game will be played the last of August.
.....
This military display is hooked up with the wind-up of the
war-bond drive. For a bond, or a war stamp (for children) you
can get a ride in a "duck", one of the amphibian trucks which
have revolutionized invasion warfare. The' "ducks" were doing a
land-office business while we were there with a waiting line
almost as long as those In front of railway diners these days.

up the gangplank, it is a sort of overcoat cut off at the waist and
full of buoyant material, as well as air. It gives the contours of
the average adult frame rather a bizarre appearance, like some
thing out of H. Q. Wells or the "Gentleman from Mars."
Much to our surprise this duck is no duck on the land. It Is
more a rail-runner for it can speed over terra firma at 30 miles
an hour when pressed. In the water it slows down to well Just
about the speed of a swimming duck we should say, slow but
sure. There Is a propeller in the rear shielded by the indented
hull, so there is no mechanism to get out of order, as there might
be II something similar to the landing gear or a plane, were used.
Really we would call the things alligators Instead of ducks,

like alligators we have seen in Florida, slide off a log, and then
proceed with their snouts sticking out like prows of an undersea
craft. We rodo down the lagoon

In fact we are wondering If this
might not be one of the secret
(Probably not or they would hardly exhibit it here on the Chicago
lake front, but it is new to your correspondent and terrifying is
a mild term for it.)
When we reached the shore they put on a flame throwing
demonstration. Imagine some giant smoking a cigar and blowing
smoke-rings; only instead of rings make them small balloons of
solid roaring, consuming fire, which advance pretty much on a
straight horizontal line, depending of course upon how the ma
chine is operated. That huge ball is solid flame mind you, it
advances steadily, and unless It should be met by a huge wind
machine, or a sudden tornado, there is nothing to stop it. It Just
goes ahead until It burns out. Nothing alive can live if touched
by HI Multiply that machine by say a hundred, and what have
Messrs. Adolf and Hirohito?!
Later the boys put on a sham battle, an Invasion attack against
enemy defenses. What struck us even more forcibly than the
superb equipment was the physical fitness of these soldiers, husky
lads each in the pink and appearing to enjoy themselves like a
bunch of kids playing football.
Add to this a walk around the grounds showing by detailed
exhibits, what the Yanks have to fight with and what the Germans
and Japs have, and there is your answer to what has been hap
pening now for over a year in the Far East and in Europe.
Of course there may have been improvements in enemy equip

to concentrate through his

United Press Correspondent
Northwestern Area, South
west Pacific (U.R) American
airmen of air group "X," who
live In pyramidal tents on the
edge of airfields hacked out of
the Australian bush, are enjoy
ing better health on the whole
than they did at home, Flight
Surgeon MaJ. Levon K. Garron
of (2355 Jones St.) San Francis
co, reported today.
Flying fatigue is "Doc" Gar
ron's biggest problem to date.
Because personnel of the group
fly some of the war's longest
overwater missions their aver
age strike lasts from 10 to 15
hours they begin to show sign's
of strain after 150 hours of com
bat flying, he believes.
A week's leave for every
three months of combat flying
eases pilots' mental strain, but
"Doc" doesn't think it should
end there. He believes instead
in a "rest cure" policy In three
phases.
Big City First
The rest cure starts with a
week's leave in a big city, where
flying crews can let off steam.
Then comes another week of
rest in quiet surroundings with
plenty . of fresh air and fresh
eggs, butter and milk. After this
phase comes the third when the
crows are gradually "rebroken"
into combat flight.
With the rest cure plus the
current replacement policy for
combat personnel, problems of
flight fatigue in group "X" have
eased up recently, Garron said.
Topography of this American
camp area, deep In the heart of
Australia's wilderness, is gener
ally flat. Tents nestle in heavily
wooded bivouac areas among
low, rolling hills. Humidity is at
a minimum during warm days
and cool nights.
Sanitation Good
Good sanitation prevails
throughout the camp. There are
no fly or mosquito breeding sites
of any importance. The water
supply for the camp is through
a deep-bore well.
Housing conditions are gener
ally excellent. All buildings are
of semi-permanent construction
with concrete floors, and tin
sides and roofs. Buildings are
screened where possible.
Very little dysentery or fun
gus infection has occurred. This
was believed due to careful
supervision of the area and per
sonal sanitation.
Only malaria to appear in this
area came several months ago
after several of the heavy bomb
er crews were operating from
New Guinea bases for a few
weeks.
ENEMY. BLIND,

By Dennis Dalton
United Press Correspondent
Cleveland (U.R) The story of
a crime career that started with
the wrong gang of kids and
earned Charles Bird the name
of the nation's public enemy No.
2 had a happy ending In federal
court.
Bird, whose bank robberies
and daylight holdups were
climaxed by Cleveland's worst
Jailbreak, could not hold back
the tears when Judge Robert N.
Wilkin pronounced sentence.
'This man apparently has ac
quired spiritual Insight," the
Judge said. "He really wants a
chance to find a place of useful
ness, and I'm willing to give him
that chance."
Judge Wilkin permitted Bird
to withdraw a plea of guilty to
a kidnaping charge and then Im
posed five five-year suspended
sentences on robbery counts.
The court's leniency was mo
tivated by Bird's loss of sight
through an operation and his
subsequent change of mental
outlook while serving a term
in Maryland state prison, Balti
more, Md.
In court In his behalf was a

After his escape Bird was

worth the loss of his eyesight?
"Look, since I have been in
prison I lost my sight," he said.
"I have been blind for several
years. I am living in a world of
darkness. Perhaps someone s
prayers were answered and this
is the result. But if giving up
my eyesight was necessary to
