Soviets Attempt To Drive Nazi Armies Across Kerch Strait Into the Crimea Western Caucasus fighting continued to hold the spotlight in Russia this week as Axis troops were trying desperately to resist increasing Soviet pressure pushing them across the Kerch Strait to the Crimea. The principal fighting appeared to be in the suburbs of the Black Sea port of Novorossisk, and on the north along the banks of the Kuban River as indicated by the approximate battle lines mentioned in dispatches. Communiques from both sides have been extremely vague as to the exact positions held but the marshy area through which the Kuban River flows indicates that these positions are not continuous. UNABLE TO HOLD The Axis position, while more secure than in Africa, is analogous to a degree: The attacker, unable to hold that which he has seized, is even being pushed steadily back. Russian infantry was comparatively inactive, but the constant threat of snipers was ever with the Nazis. From hidden bulwarks came the high whine of high-powered bullets—and there were half a dozen less Nazis in unconquered Russia. The Russians, extending their field of attack and working hand-in-glove with the AAF and RAF, sent several hundreds of planes winging over the Kuban front, going westward and over the Nazi industrial establishments at Danzig, Koenigsberg and Tilsit. REVERSE ENGLISH Reverse English became apparent in Moscow and Berlin communiques, and the Berlin radio reported that the Red army was in complete possession of the mountains from which it could look down into the Nazi base at Novorosssisk. The Russians did not deny the report, but neither did they confirm it. Moscow placidly ignored the report but acknowledged at one time that both sides are "regrouping their forces all along the frontiers in preparation for spring offensives." The heavy toll of Axis prisoners in Russia as well as in Africa (see Col. 1) indicated the thorough drubbing the Germans and their unhappy allies are taking on the two major fronts of action. Staggering losses were attributed to the Nazis by Moscow; and, in Africa, the War Department's official figures gave evidence of new Allied successes. Johnston Addresses Placentia Chamber Pledging Anaheim Chamber of Commerce cooperation to the Helicopter Swarm Foreseen By Air Pioneer Sikorsky A vision of the helicopter performing the commuting short-haul functions of the family automobile, the truck and the bus a decade after the end of the war was painted by Igor I. Sikorsky, aeronautical designer, at a session of the Society of Automotive Engineers. Mr. Sikorsky estimated that a million helicopters would be in use 10 years after the war as he pictured them in every family backyard and able to take off from factory roofs, and helicopter busses. USE WAR PLANTS The war-expanded facilities and personnel released by the demobilization of the aircraft industry after the war could be utilized by the helicopter building program, he stated. He predicted that the helicopter would open to better use vast land areas now inaccessible. Improvements in the pioneer helicopter of Mr. Sikorsky are such that speeds of 120-140 miles an hour are now possible, Mr. Sikorsky said: Helicopter busses seating 12 to 20 passengers are not beyond reasonable expectation," he added. Attachable landing devices in the form of inflated rubber bags will permit helicopters to operate safely from gorund, water, swamp, thin ice, and deep snow, Mr. Sikorsky continued."

NEKOLA In a small building approximately 20 by 100 feet on the corner of 11th and S streets is housed the nerve center of one of the most important organizations having to do with the smooth operation of the air base. The building referred to is the quartermaster office. It is made up of one large room, with rows of desks and typewriters, at the end of which are two private offices occupied by Col Joseph J. Canella, quartermaster officer, and O. J. Thompson, chief clerk. STARTED IN CITY HALL On February 4, 1942, Col Canella and Roger J. McGinnis Jr., now principal clerk of properties, armed "with a pencil and piece of paper," first started quartermaster activities for this post in an office in the city hall. Since that date, with the rapid expansion of the air base, the quartermaster office has been moved out to the base and a good sized body of personnel is employed. Under the supervision of Col Canella some of the important divisions of quartermaster activities may be listed as follows: property section, commissary, warehouse division, rail transportation. The warehousing division, under the direction of Capt A. T. Madden, assisted by Lts A. G. Cruz and M. D. Boggiano, has to do with the storage and issue of all articles of uniform and equipment for the various organizations on the post. In connection with this an accurate record must be kept of tally in of shipments received and a tally out of items issued. RAIL TRANSPORT Rail transportation, administered through Capt E. A. Bingaman, has to do with the routing and issuing of all transportation for military and civilian personnel, and the movement of household goods in connection therewith, and handling of all government bills of lading covering the movement. There has been instituted a new department in connection with rail transportation for personnel on the post, with regard to passenger routing. The reclamation and salvage department is under the guidance of Lt E. A. Spitzer. Its duty is to save money for the government. In the reclamation building the repairing of clothing and shoes for the base garrison involves authorized repair and alteration of clothing of individual enlisted men. Cadet Cited For Risky Greenland Ice Cap Rescue Very few soldiers have the chance to save the life of their commanding officers. One of the few was Cadet N. C. Jensen or Sqdn 39-K. A former enlisted man and buck sergeant in Greenland, Cadet Jensen was on a rescue party that flew, floated and climbed its way to a marooned area wounded officer on a desolate ice cap, and brought him back to safety. Jensen was a flight engineer, charge of testing work on the lonely outpost. His commanding officer had made a routine flight on an AT-6 plane, and had been forced by motor trouble to make a crash landing on an ice cap. In making the landing his father was smashed against the instrument panel of the plane. His raid distress call was received back to the post, and Jensen was one of a crew of four who set out to perform the difficult rescue. They left in a Catalina flying boat, and landed on a glacial lake with their fingers crossed, eight miles from the place where they wounded officer lay. They had their fingers crossed because it impossible to estimate the depth... and you buy will to save the lives Isn't that alone economy you can W. S.

Since that date, with the rapid expansion of the air base, the quartermaster office has been moved out to the base and a good sized body of personnel is employed. Under the supervision of Col Canella some of the important divisions of quartermaster activities may be listed: property section, commissary, warehousing division, rail transportation, reclamation and salvage, purchasing and contracting, and general administration. PROPERTY SECTION The property section has as its administrators Major Horning, officer in charge; Roger J. McGinnis Jr., principal clerk of properties and Chief Warraht Officer Charles W. Brough. The job of this department is multiple in scope. The issue of clothing and equipment for cadets, enlisted men, and WAACs on this post is one of the most important. A detailed record must be kept of issued property to all authorized personnel. Then, too, the department must edit and prepare requisitions for all properties, and handle endless correspondence in this connection. Another nerve-wracking job is the expediting of delivery of all of these goods from quartermaster depots and other sources of supply. SUBSISTENCE ITEMS Heading the commissary is Capt Montgomery. It is of vital interest to the personnel of the post because this department has to do with the procurement and issue of subsistence items for all troops, including cadets, WAACs and enlisted men's mess halls. The requisitioning of perishable food and produce from the marketing center in Los Angeles, and the storage and refrigeration of said produce and meats, also is under commissary administration. PURCHASE AND CONTRACT The purchasing and contracting department is under the direct supervision of Col Canella. He has working with him in this field G. W. Guenther. They handle the issuing of purchase orders covering all open market purchases of quartermaster supplies and equipment. Also in their field is the issuance of contracts for procurement of fuels, oils, and other commodities regularly used over long periods of time. In connection with the above procurement it is necessary to issue numerous priorities in order to obtain a great many materials which have been restricted to open sales due to the war effort. In connection with the salvage department's work it is up to the purchasing and contracting department to handle the contracts for disposition and sale of salvage materials. In conclusion there the general administration, under the direct supervision of Chief Clerk O. J. Thompson. This is a small staff made up of a personal clerk, In making the landing his face was smashed against the instruction panel of the plane. His radial distress call was received back at the post, and Jensen was one crew of four who set out to perform the difficult rescue. They left in a Catalina flying boat, and landed on a glacial lake with their fingers crossed, eight miles from the place where they wounded officer lay. They had their fingers crossed because it impossible to estimate the depth a glacial lake, and they were courting death in trying a landing in uncharted waters. After landing they had to make a four mile trip in a rubber boot then hike six miles over treacherous icy mountains to reach a wrecked plane. In charge of the expedition was Col Bert Balch who had flown with Admiral Byrd in the first air trip over the North Pole. The colonel received oak leaf cluster for his part of the rescue trip, and Sgt Jensen received a certificate entitling him to the soldier's medal, which would arrive here any day now. RANDOLPH FOR TEACHER Randolph field, Texas, one of the army's foremost flying training schools for 10 years, ceased training aviation cadets and has been converted into a new type of flying school for training of flying instructors in the Army Air Forces. stenographer, and informant clerk. The acquisition of members the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps is expected to result in improvement in the above activities. In the near future a detailed account of the activity and personnel of the various quartermaster departments appear, so that post personnel know more about the "forgo-quartermaster corps." County Employes Get Salary Raise Salary increases granted to Orange county employees as of April 1, will add approximately $9000 a month to the county payroll, which has averaged $91,000 monthly according to County Auditor Leslie H. Eckel. The majority of the recent wage increases ranged from $10 to $20 a month although a few represented a higher sum. Road department employees are paid on a daily wage basis. They will receive US Airmen Want To Bomb Vesuvius American airmen who have raided Naples, Italy, still want to drop bombs into the mouth of near-by Mt. Versuvius to see what the old volcano will do. There is keen rivalry among those who would be allowed permission to be the first to do it, and some even talk of making the lava start flowing with a few bombs. About 10 cents more per hour. Average pay for road work has been 65 cents per hour. WANT ADS ANTISEPTIC C.A.B.—W. A. Gordon, Dist., 112 E. Alberta, Ana. At all Druggists. AUTO SERVICE STATIONS ANA.
