PHIPP8 liUlJUAKD, Ore., March 1 (A't Tho United Stutus murines could build a legend around Major Minion Carl und maybe you think they wou'tl It's already on tho way. Tlio leathernecks out Solomons way cull 1 1 1 1 ii "the zero mini" for his fabulous prowess in knocking down thoso Japanese- fighters. And wull until thoso boys gel going on how ho won a lovely Powers modol In six wuoks, He's strictly u fust worker, this hundsomo young mini who cume off u farm to becomo Oregon's No. 1 ulr hero and one of tho top American iiees of World war II. In u few months over Midway and Guadalcanal he guvo tho business to 17 enemy planes (tho unofficial figure is bigger), then cumo buck homo, met Edna Klr vln, brunette Powers model, in New York on a slam-bung war bond salon tour. Six woeks lutcr dim was Mrs. Marion Carl and turning wllli him. lie's tho kind of guy who makes a leatherneck's chest swell. This 27-year-old marina fight er pilot, five years out of Ore gon State college, looks as though he'd bo moro at homo in front of a Hollywood motion picture camera than bohind the controls of a Grumunn Wildcat. lint there's nothing Hollywood about him except his looks. He's (inlet, soft-spoken, reluctant to talk about tho exploits that twice won him tho Navy Cross. He's not a "hot" pilot, but a cool, calculating air fighter who figures out his combat tactics as scientifically as he figured his aeronautical engineering prob lems at college. Out he learned the hard way. His first lesson came at Mid way when he and two other mur ine fighter pilots ran Into three groups of Jap planes of 28 or 30 planes each. "I was trailing, and the other two planes attacked the first group of Jap bombers. As a group of Zeros closed In on the other planes, I Jumped ono of the Japs. Before I could bring effective fire on him, I looked behind and the air was black with Zoros closing In, so I head ed away. I learned a lot In that fight but didn't do much dam age." After thut It was a different story. Ho was a votcran by the time his fighter squadron, command ed by Majo:- John L. Smith, Lex ington, Okla., went to Guadal canal. "Tho Japs would coma In with twin-engined bombers that wero Just as good and fast as our planes," Carl, who flew No. 13 in that battle-scarred, outnum bered squadron, said. "We learned to make ono or two passes at the bombers be fore tho Zeros closed In and then head for the clouds." Curl's hunting was somewhat tougher than shooting fish In a rain barrel, Soon he ran Into tough luck but he came out with nothing moro serious than the loss of hl squadron supremacy. It was Sopt. 0, 1042; "I made two passes and got two bombers. 1 attempted a third pass instead of heading for the clouds, "A Zero hit mo with 20 millimeter cannon, How many times I do not know. It was at 22,000 feet when my plane burst Into flames. I lost no time balling out and landed In the water sev eral miles from Guadalcanal and somo 30 miles down the coast from Ilonderson field. "Because of the tide, I was unable to reach shore and had about given up hope when some native picked me up. It took him about four hours to paddle 200 feet to get me." By the time Carl returned to headquarters several days later Major Smith was the top man In the squadron with 15 Japs to his credit and Carl kidded him about "taking advantage of a guy when he's down."

'own Our Leaders Laugh By EARL WHITLOCK Did you ever think how laughter-loss are our enemies in this war? Not only at present, when the war is taking a turn which might well preclude mirth, but all the time. Even when they were doing pretty well for them solves. Germany has produced great scientists, musi- slclnns, philosophers, writers, But in all her history she has never brought forth a man who could help her to, laugh, If she could liavo laughed, she could never have permitted herself to be saddled with the ridiculous goose-step nor with the insane paper-hanger of Bcrtcsgarten. Japan cannot laugh. Sho Is too busy trying to realize her divinely appointed mission to conquer the world. She lias never known laughter, Just a thin, hissing Imitation. But we, as a people, and our leaders, too, can laugh, Roose velt's boisterous mirth is tradi tional. Elsenhower's humor has captivated the British nation, Nimltz' orders to his naval forces carry a grin with their firmness. Cordcll Hull brims with that dry humor character istic of tlio Tennessee hills that produced him, And thoso grinning insanities that our boys paint on the noses of their planes thoso Disney grotesques. Do they not say to tha enemy, "We are not only going to kill you, but we are also going to hnvo a lot of fun doing It?" Thank God for laughter!
