o e Enlisted Airmen Sue Colonel for Cursing; Others Offer Backing Oklahoma City U.R) Two enlisted airmen who have sued a colonel for slander for swear ing at them said today they had received scores of letters from other GIs applauding their ac tion and some offering money for their suits. The $10,000 damage suits were filed by Airman 2C John F. Crozman- of West Lynn, Mass., and Airman 3C Miles Miller of Marysville, Pa., against Lt. Col. Walter Callahan of New York city'o They grew out of an incident at Tinker Air Force Base near 1 here last July 6. Callahan's at torney has filed a motion to dis miss the suits and Federal Dis trict Judge W. A. Wallace is ex pected to rule within 10 days or two weeks. ' Both Crozman and Miller said they had been submitted to no , harsh discipline or different 0 treatment since they filed the 0 suits against Callahan. "Our own officers always treated us okay," Crozman said. "The enlisted men in our bar racks are all pushing behind us. " They believe we're right and urging us to go ahead." Transfer Asked Callahan, they said, had been 1 frienaly toward them since the incident that triggered, the suit, ge was transferred earlier this month to Westover Field, Mass. The Air Force said he requested the transfer prior to the lawsuit because of the illness of his wife and son.' 8 The slander action accused allrhan of cursing the two air ' (N tf?5r5i35 tsmms COME IN men in the presence of other per sons. According to Crozman's peti tion, Callahan told him: "You (obscenities) don't do anything but ride around on your fat (ob scenities)." Miller's suit accused the offic er of saying: "You (obscenity)" with no provocation on the air man's part. Crozman says the incident oc curred when he and Miller were serving as air police. He was on roving patrol and had inspected Miller's post at the hangar en trance when Callahan came out and ordered him to move a jeep parked there. Crozman said he replied: "I'm sorry, sir. I am not authorized to use that vehicle without a trip ticket." .That was when Callahan lost his temDer and allegedly cursed the soldiers. Crozman said that neither he nor Miller replied to the offic er's remarks. But he brooded about it and decided to consult an attorney about his rights. He was advised he could bring suit for slander under the Soldier's and Sailor's Relief Act. The airman said most of the letters they have received are from ex-servicemen who en countered the same situation but were unaware they could do any thing about it. x Crozman, a Catholic, said he had no particular convictions about use of profanity, but "I just don't think an officer should address an inferior in that man ner." Miller, a Methodist, agreed. luiiEOFOW ujlIILLh.1.1 PHONE OR MAIL COUPON k C3BO0OTBQ!?

Portland Evacuation Report Prepared Portland (U.R) Civil defense officials shuffled through reports of some 700 observers today pre paring a report on the city's downtown evacuation test held Tuesday afternoon. Local CD director Jack Lowe said it may take two weeks to round up the information for the complete report. Observers were given questionnaires in 11 categories. Lowe said he believed the test proved "we very definitely have the capability for evacuating the entire city." He said, however, the "secret" time for the test ap parently was "leaked" to too many persons and that security could be tightened if another test were held. (sms&BtsJsD I I Worth of Comment On By HARMAN United Pe Washington (U.R) It could be that the man in Attleborough, Norfolk, England, made a bad buy. A. J. B. Gas- kin, Esq., be lieved he had a bargain when he bought 14 hand bells. How did he know that a full set went to 18 and that the middle bells were missing? Harman Nichols missing? I have a letter at hand, writ ten to the British Information Service here. Gaskin said: After the second world war, a bunch of American air men gathered at a "local" pub, tav ern or ale shop and had a time. Somewhere around the premises were 18 hand bells the kind you pick up and rattle one at a time to stir up music. According to Gaskin: "Some of these fellows 'bag ged' (walked off with) four of the bells. They were missed after a big night at the local." The pilfered bells haven't been seen or heard thereabout since. Also seems they were from a very old set, and as Gaskin learn ed, "very little good without the missing ones." Gaskin hopes that an appeal "could be made to the American servicemen who served in the area, and that they might be kind enough to return them. ... as it is such a pity to have a fine set of old bells like these split up." At this point it is proper to quote Charles Campbell, head of NichoJ'i ML CCD GQGCJOtKEQ, CHB irrrerc rrfTrera arc?

NAME ADDRESS CITY ....ZONE WHERE EMPLOYED This and That W. NICHOLS Falr Writer the British information Service here. A set of hand bells has to be tempered and tuned to perfec tion. "Missing bells," according to Charlie "are something like four minus keys on a piano or a tuba with a couple of missing valves. No. music. There are a lot of bell ringers in Britain, but few of the old masters left who know how to make them." Anyhow, our Gaskin would like to get the set back together. So airmen, is there any among you who will confess you have a spare hand bell filched from a "local" in the fine old town of Attleborough? Along toward the end of World War II? And if you have will you send the same along to Gaskin, Esq.? On High st.? .. I hate to disappoint the es quire from Attleborough, but I doubt that he ever finds the mid dle bells. The suspicion is that the sou venir hunters either worked one at a time, or in pairs. And what ever, the bells may by this time be sitting on mantles in each of the four corners of this very large earth.. However, the honorable Gas kin has some bait out. He will see that the bells, if ever again reassembled in proper sequence, will be used to entertain those in the old folks home in his town, or will be put to use by ex perts of the bells in hospitals in the area. But he makes it clear that no set of 14 bells is worth its tinkle. He has bought four other bells which he will exchange for those taken from te pub. And Mr. Gas kin promises: "Someone could get a jolly good ring out of them." COMPLETE 67-PC. SET i o saucers - . . .PHONE .......HOW LONG- .STATE HOW LONG.
