A Nichols' Worth of Comment On BY HA It MAN United toss Washington (U.R) Down at the Marine base at Cherry Point, N.C., sits a pilot who is mad enough to gnaw on a 10- penny nail. He's not iden tified because he couldn't be in much more trouble and be cause I'm no tattle-tale. My inform a 1 1 0 n, though, came from an hnnmrt Harmon Iftcbota source. It was like this: This poor fellow was sent to Cherry Point some tim hart because he was the only man in that area who knew how to fly an air-sea rescue helicopter. For three weeks he was on 24 hour detail and all he did was ait around waiting for somebody to rescue. " He got a little tired of that and went right to the top and demanded some relief. "How about checking out some more pilots to fly this model?" he asked the squadron executive officer. Pilots Checked Out The top officer looked intn th i matter and found that the only uxejy spot lor that kind of ac tion was at Jacksonville, Fla. While our man kept on sitting, five Marine pilots were checked out and sent to Quantico, Va. There was no model helicop ter there, so they went back to home base. Finally, the pilot at Cherry point looked at the calendar and discovered that he had been on mi mi (Stale Commission Reports Decline In Unemployment Salem (U.R) Unemploy ment declined in Oregon by 7,597 in March, the Oregon State Unemployment commis sion said Saturday.

He was an unhappy character, and his wife was getting a little fidgety, also. In all that time, the pilot hadn't been off the ground. Takes Plana for Check One day, he got a small meas ure of relief. His commanding officer called him in and told him to check over the helicopter and lift it for a test flight So It would be In shape if anything happened. ' Something did happen to the plane. When the pilot brought it down for a landing, something went wrong and it cracked up. The pilot was unharmed. The plane was a total loss. At happy last another helicop ter came down out of the skies and set down on the runway at Cherry Point. The pilot looked at it and turn ed away in disgust . The ship was an early model known as "flying banana.- It was a helicopter, all right but it was a one seater. Meaning it couldn't pick up another passen ger in rescue work. Dangerous Country It wouldn't be good even for a pleasure ride because Cherry Point la in dangerous flying country. Mostly bushy country. unsafe for landing a helicopter. The Marines found themselves with two fine helicopter rescue pilots on their hands. They sent the second one back where he cam from, leaving our friend In the same fix he'd been In before. Last word I had of him, he still sitting it out 24 hours a day. And still mad.
