Iron Cross Said Again Becoming Familiar Sight In German Skies Editor' note: Chart Corddrv. L'nitrd Press military affairs writer assigned to th Prnuron In whtni ton. Is making a tnur of L'.S. defense installation! in Europe and the Middle East. By CHARLES CORDDRY United Press Correspondent Wiesbaden, Germany W The Iron Cross is becoming a familiar sight again in the skies over Germany. "It gives you a Jolt at first, doesn't it?" said an American airman. He pointed to a jet with the markings of the German Luftwaffe millions once feared. Although the Iron Cross is painted on the fuselage, there is no Swastika such as adorned the tails of German planes which once terrorized the fleeing citi zens of Paris and battered Lon don. This time the German air force is hailed as a vitally needed addition to free world defense.

WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington tin What ever the past week's political explo sions in Moscow may mean, they cannot alter the fact that 1 n t e rnation al Communism has going for it in the Unit ed States a powerful and destructive al ly. That ally is currently in flation which could and may continue to the point of destruc tion for the American social and economic fabric in an era of United States bankruptcy. Inflation is an economic ju venile delinquent. Responsibil ity for it must be charged to the citizenry at large, just as in the case of the anti-social teen agers who murder or rape.

IW Mrs. Grace Goodhue Coolidge, 78, widow of former President Cal vin Coolidge, died in her sleep e at her home here today. With her was her son, John. Dr. James H. Averill said that death was due to a heart condi tion but added that an autopsy would be performed. Mrs. Coolidge, one of four sur viving former first ladies, was discharged in March from Coo ley Dickinson hospital. She entered, the hospital Feb. !5 for "medical treatment" and olive days later suffered a car diac and kidney failure. She was discharged in early March. o Her death reduced to three the number of living wives of former presidents. The others are Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mrs. ftarry S. Truman. B3rn ia Vermont Mrs. Coolidge, gracious and charming, was born Jan. 3, HS9, in Burlington, Vt., of Puri tan stock. She graduated from the) University of Vermont and c8)m back here as an instructor $t in institution for the deaf Wnd dumb. "hil here, she met Calvin Coolidge, then a struggling law yer. They were married in 1905. died in 1933 at the age of 60. Mrs. Coolidge. gentle and re tiring, entered the White House without social whirl or glamour. .And as first lady, she retained the role of a simple New Eng 1 a nai housewife devoted to home, family and civic responsi bility. She regarded herself sim ply as "Cal Coolidge's wife." . After the death of her hus band, Mrs. Coolidge seemed to ftrow iih the years. During 'ar II, she devoted" most of her time to civic and social work, the Red Cross and church activities. and hoped he saw what was coming in the United States after World War II when he laid a course of fraud, chicanery and deceit toward the interna tional Communist objective of world conquest. Stalin, however lost two of the three big bets on which he placed Communist blue chips after World War II. Bet No 1 was that the United States would suffer a shatter ing depression soon after the fighting, ended. Afraid of Bullets Bet No. 2 was that the United States and the United Nations lacked the will to meet aggres sion with bullets, as in Korea Bet No. 3 remains undecid ed. It was the biggest bet that the United States would i spend itself into bankruptcy. Lenin, himself, stated the proposition that any capitalist democracy or republic must ev entually destroy itself by over spending. That remains prime Communist doctrine. If the doc trine proves to be correct, the loss of bets one and two will means nothing other than delay in Communism's conquest. If the doctrine is wrong, then it is only a question of time before the free world, led by the United States, triumphs over Communism in hot or cold war or a combination ot botn. It does not make of the Unit ed States an ignoble material istic society to concede that the American way of life is pegged securely to the integrity of the U. S. dollar and what it will buy at home and abroad. The pur chasing power of the dollar is skidding downward, but not yet far enough to lose the respect and affection of men and wom en everywhere. Lot of Abus The reputation of a well-established piece of money such as the U. S. dollar can take a lot of abuse. The end, however, is devastatingly sudden and complete when it does come The institute of life insurance calculated nearly 10 years ago that from 1900 to 1950, the U.S dollar had lost nearly two-thirds of its value. Largely responsible for this, said the institute, was govern ment borrowing during World War I, throughout all of FDR's White House years and in all but two years of Harry S. Tru man's presidency. In none of those many years did the elect ed representatives of a free peo ple dare levy taxes sufficient to pay for the government spending they so freely author ized. President Eisenhower is get ting the Treasury out of the red, but not much. He is spend ing at a rate which could make Stalin's bet No. 3 fairly good especially if Congress cut taxes and fails to cut federal spending. that helped bring down Hitler's Fortress Europa. After long delays. Luftwaffe training now seems to be going well. The first wing of F84F. Thunderstreaks will become op erational in late summer or early fall. Four more wings, in cluding one with F86 Sabre Jets, are expected during 1958. It will be 1962, however, be fore the entire 20-wing German air force is ready. This will be two years after the Germans' 12 army divisions are expected to be fully formed. In Charge of Operation One of the most important men attending the rebirth of the Luftwaffe is a 37-year-old American colonel, Mark H. Vin zant Jr., Haverford, Pa. He is charged with the opera tion of three big air bases, training the German air force and training pilots from 14 oth er countries under military aid programs. His U.S. Air Force salary is about $10,400 a year, plus an estimated 52,200 in housing and food allowances. With headquarters at Fursten feldbruck the Randolph Field of Germany some 17 miles west of Munich Vinzant now has more than 5,100 Germans in training and an American staff of 1,395. His two other fields are at Landsberg .and Kauf beuren, 25 and 30 miles, respec tively, from Furstenfeldbruck. The Replacements The colonel, a veteran of 4.300 flying hours, figures the U.S. Air Force will be out of a job as far as the Luftwaffe is con cerned in another year or so. The Germans have staffs paral leling U.S. training units. As they become more effective, U.S. elements are cut. The U.S. group should be down to 500 men by next January. Vinzant is proud of the Ger man's safety rate. There has been one fatality since training started in January, 1956. In that time there have been 60.000 fly ing hours including 26,000 with jets. Few War II Volunteers Oddly, there have been rela tively few World War II Ger man pilot volunteers. By now, 1.100 were expected, but only 500 signed up. Vinzant attrib utes this to poor military pay one-fourth to one-third that of Americans rather than any op position to German rearmament. The German goal is a tactical force of 1,326 aircraft organized into 18 wings of fighters and fighter-bombers and two wings of transport planes. America has supplied 250 planes to date, in cluding 35 F84F combat types. Luftwaffe manpower even tually may reach 150,000.

(IP) Search was under way in the area around this Lewis county com munity today for a 31-year-old Sunday school teacher missing since Saturday afternoon. Missing was Miss Eleanor Bolinger. She disappeared while berry picking. Officials feared she might have met with foul play. Searchers found her bicycle under a brush pile about a mile from town. Near the bike was her berry can. On the ground ! was a spot believed made by j blood. The blood was being tested. Sheriff Earl Hilton said the ennt UT9G nnt awrtt an,,nU 4a in- I 1 - " tuuf,u M in dicate a victim died of bleeding. However, it would indicate a "very bad wound." He said car tracks were found near the bike. Approximately 20 searchers were in the area shortly after dawn. Others were expected to join the search. Three times as many highway fatalities occur at night as dur ing daylight hours, based on to tal miles traveled, according to the National Safety Council.
