Marion Car, Oregon's
Ace Airman, Knows How

By WILLIAM E. 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

fabulous prowess in knocking

And wull until thoso boys gel

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

unofficial figure is bigger), then

New York on a slam-bung war

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."

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!

of the Earl Whltlock Funeral
Home will v comment on "Lot's

early because point ration shopping will

Inrecent months you've learned howto handle ration
stamps for sugar and for. coffee. Shopping with points
is more complicated, but your Safeway Store has done
many things to help you. Under point rationing you'll
have to think about the price in points as well as the
price in money. To make this easy Safeway has marked
the point value on the shelf directly below each ra
tioned item and also on the item itself. At Safeway
youjmake.comparisons of values leisurely and
select the items best suited to the amount of points'
and money you want to spend. But remember point
ration shopping will take more time... it's doubly
important to shop early in the day and early in the
week. You'll get the "hang" of it quickly, but at the
