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

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.

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.

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

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."
