Iron Cross Said Again Becoming

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.

Widow of Former
President Coolidge
Dies During Sleep
Northampton, Mass. 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

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

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.

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.

Community Scanned For Missing Teacher
Mineral, Wash. (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.

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

fatalities occur at night as dur

Theft of Jewelry
01 ! From Remains of
Actress Probed
Laramie, Wyo. W The pos
sibility that the body of actress ,
Judy Tyler, killed in a highway
crash a week ago, was robbed of
two diamond rinss was pon-
dered here today by authorities. '
Miss Tyler and her husband of
four months, Gregory Lafayette
were victims of a collision near
Rock River, Wyo., on U.S. 30 in 1
which Donald Jones, 23, of Kan
na, Wyo., also died.
Body Flown East
The body of the brilliant j
young actress was flown Sunday
to New Jersey for funeral serv-.i
ices Tuesday. The body of Lata- i
yette was flown Saturday to ;
Fishkill, N.Y. j
Miss Tyler's family engaged j
Charles C. Littnan of the Mil- j
waukee Police department to in
vestigate the accident over the (
week end.
Littnan said the two diamond
rings, valued at "several thous
and dollars" were not on her
hand when officers reached the
accident scene, and were not
found among her effects. The
only cash on Lafayette's body
was a dime in one of his pockets.
Purse Left Behind
However, it was learned that
Miss Tyler had left her purse,
containing 585, at a service sta
tion in Utah before the accident.
Littnan said Lafayette's bill
f o 1 d, containing identification
papers, was found on his body.
Miss Tyler's 57,000 mink coat, a
pearl ring, a baby necklace, and
a checkbook showing a balance
of 52,500, were also found
among her belongings in the
wrecked car.
The Milwaukee police officer
said Miss Tyler may have left
the diamond rings in Holly
wood. He said he also did not find
any trace of 515.000 Miss Tyler
was believed to have received in
Hollywood as a salary payment
but it might have been for
warded to her New York busi
ness agent.
