1060TH AAF BASE UNIT THE ORD HE WS FORMERLY BTC 10-SHUN VOL. NO. 3. NO. 15. Greensboro, N. C, Friday, August 18, 1944. FREE DISTRIBUTION Just Before They Took Off For Wichita THE TECH-HAWKS' COACH, Capt. Ralph W. Erickson, receives the best wishes of Col. John K. Nissiey, commanding officer, as players mill around. Athletes, left to right, are 1st Lt. Jim Castiglia, Pfc. Jim Halperin, S/Sgt. Joe Monahan, Sgt. Grady Hat-ton, Pfc. Barney DeForge, S/Sgt. Tee Frye, Sgt. Charley Herrel, Pvt. Lee Gamble, S/Sgt. Gene Kess-ler and S/Sgt. Hal Grosman. Tech-Haivks Win Easily In Opener Of Wichita Semi-Pro Tournament Victory Over Grand Island Team Puts ORD Outfit I n Favored Bracket Off to a good begining in the national semi-pro baseball tournament at Wichita, Kans., the ORD Tech-Hawks, post team representing the state of North Carolina, were in a position to move into the upper brackets with one more impressive victory in this 25-team derby. The Hawks opened up Wednes- and Charley merely mopped up for day afternoon with an easy 7-2 decision over the Nebraska Army Air Ease team at Grand Island. Last night as ORD News went to press they were slated to meet a second opponent, Fdrt Custer, Mich., and if they could win this one, they were to move up against the Eni-dairs of Enid, Okla., Army Air Base, runners-up in the 1943 tournament next Sunday at 9 p. m., (EWT), in one of the feature games of the much-involved festivities. The Hawks' debut at Wichita was made on a soggy field that had caused two postponements, and meager reports trckling back from the scene of the tournament said, "Highly touted Tech-Hawks, considered among title contenders in pre-tournament speculation, showed little pep today." That seems like an unfair observation. The Ha"wks couldn't have won much more easily; the long train ride and the repeated delays must have taken some of the edge off their play. Yet they came through with an errorless game and had it won, for all practical purposes, by the end of the fifth inning, when they were leading, 5-0. Pfc. Barney DeForge, who has been the Hawks' leading pitcher this season a former rightnanded curve bailer from Montreal, pitched the first seven inings before retiring. He gave up only five hits and walked one batter. The score was 7-1 when he gave way to Sgt. Charley (Snow White) Herrell, a veteran of 38 summers, Travel Risk Over 'Hump' Is Reduced ov g Once the most dangerous airway in the world, the ATC's air route •aver the Hump between Assam and ~"ibina has become as safe as any Bitary airline anywhere. Eight months ago for a limited _ eriod of time, a plane a day was being lost over the Hump. Losses now are but la fraction of the former total and; during May, only one ATC transport was lost in actual flight over the route. . Several factors enter into the new safety records. An elaborate radio communications system has been completed to aid planes; greater pilot experience has been gained and an improved weather warning and forecasting system has been installed. Further elimination of bugs from new transport planes has also helped. a couple of frames. No reason was given for De- Forge's retirement. Presumably, he was being saved for later in the tournament. Barney is actually a relief specialist, and he may come in useful in such a role in the more intensive competition just ahead. Frye Fans In First. The Tech-Hawks almost had*the first game put away in the first inning. They had scored one run on a walk to Pvt. Lee Gamble, S/Sgt. Hal Grosman's sacrifice and 1st Lt. Jim Castiglia's single with two out. Sgt. Grady Hatton walked to fill the bases, but S/Sgt. Tee Frye fanned. They made it 2-0 in the fourth. Hatton again walked, and l\/e forced him, racing to second on a bad infield throw. From there, he scored on DeForge's single. Three more runs came across in the fifth. Grosman led off with-a single and Pvt. Buster Maynard, the old Giant reinforcing the outfield, walked. Then Sgt. Taft Wright, ex- White Sox flychaser, doubled in a run and Hatton—a veteran and All-America selection in these tournament games—singled in Maynard and Wright. Grand Island broke through for its only run off DeForge in the sixth, on a walk and two hits, but the Tech-Hawks surged right back with two more runs in the seventh on hits by Frye and Monahan behind a pair of walks. Monahan was playing first base in place of S/Sgt. Gene Keesler. While the Hawks were winning so decisively, the Kearns, Utah, ORD, sister station to this installation, was absorbing a 10-7 licking from the Sherman Field Flyers of Fort Leavenworth, Kans. However one defeat does not mean elimination. GREENSBORO.

Classes covering eight hours in two one-half day periods are designed to acquaint new employees with the job they have to do and just where their work as an individual fits into the war effort, said G. M. Condit, training coordin-tor of the Civilian Personnel Office. Those completing classes today include all workers who have been placed on governmental payrolls between July 1, 1944 and August *5. Employees hired subsequently will attend a series to begin near the end of the month. The course will be repeated at monthly intervals for the benefit of those hired during subsequent months. Those employed on the post before July 1 will not be required to attend the classes. Topics covered in the series include Organization and Explanation of the Army and AFPDC and Its Mission, Safeguarding Military Information, Propaganda Analysis, Safety Precautions, Civil Service Policies, Civil Service Regulations, Employee Relations and Nazism in Action. Japan Winning War —Jap Soldiers Say GUAM, — (CNS; — Civilian residents of Guam got a peculiar picture of the war from the Japs during the Nipponese occupation of this island. One liberated Guam civilian told Marines that the Japs said they had captured the Hawaiian Islands, sailed through the Panama Canal, destroyed the U. S. Fleet and billeted in Washington. Ballot Applications Go Out Wednesday Voting Officers To See T h a t All Men On Post Receive F o rm For Mailing The first organized step to get ballots for all soldiers, eligible to vote in the 1944 Presidential election, will be taken on the post next week. The official postcard application United States War Ballot Commis- Tonight At 9 VSO Tabloid Revue Hits Service Club A talented miniature USO-camp show troupe, which is on the blue circuit, No. 74, comes to the post for two performances tonight. It plays the station hospital at 7:30 p. m., and the service club at 9. Master of ceremonies is Harvey Dunne, who not only does tricks with billard balls, handkerchiefs and eggs but is billed as the kind of guy who will take off your necktie and shirt when you least expect it The blues singer with this miniature company is Trudy Chandler, tall, slender, auburn-haired, who has a nice voice, too. She has played night clubs all over the country. Billie Duncan is the terspi-chorean, a tap dancer who started on the RKO theater circuit and was far enough advanced to have made a movie short for Warners. George Schreck, who is self-styled as a fugitive from a symphony orchestra, is the eccentric musician and pantomime comedian —a la Harpo Marx—of the company. George has been in show business for 35 years. In World War I, he entertained servicemen in Paris and witnessed the first daylight raid over England. The musical background — by piano and accordian—will be furnished by Anna DeLuca. Approve 189 Mags For Distribution To Armed Forces Washington.—(CNS)—The Army's latest list of magazines approved for sale in PXs and for distribution in the Army under the provision of the Soldier Vote Law has just been released. The list includes 189 magazines, among them 39 comic books. Among the publications absent from the list are The New Republic, The Nation and three Army publications—Hit Kip, Overseas Comics and Intelligence Bulletin. Col. Robert Cutler, the Secretary of War's administrator of all matters arising from the Soldier Vote Law, has .stated that publications excluded from the list were not dropped because of their editorial content but because the troops expressed no preference for them. Flash! Nazis Give Up Invasion Of England France (CNS) — The Germans no longer plan to invade England, if that's news to anyone Maps of England 'have been found German Command posts here. I On the backs of the maps are printed fresh maps of the territory! the Germans are now trying to defend in France. The Colonel's Column Last Monday night I had the pleasure of attending the ball game at Memorial Stadium and saw Section "C" win the Greensboro Invitational Softball tournament championship. It was the neatest bit of ball playing that I have seen in many a day. It had the old zing. They had the will to win. My sincerest congratulations to Major Kane and every member of his command. I had the honor of sitting in our team's dugout and watching these men at close range. The thought that kept running through my mind was that they are a cross section of Greensboro ORD and that Greensboro ORD is a cross section of the AAF. Is it any wonder then that the AAF is bad news to our enemies. John K. ffissky COLONEL, AIR CORPS, COMMANDING. sion Form No. 1—for state absentee ballots will be distributed to each officer and EM on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. ', V Distribution will be made by the voting officer and non-commissioned officer in each Section. Men on furlough or leave next week will receive applications upon return to the post. To make certain that all personnel in each section—officer and EM, attached and assigned — receive the forms, voting officers are required to check off names on the roster as the applications are distributed. The distribution record must then be certified in triplicate by the officer, i. Send Cards 'Air-Mail Free.' Soldiers should fill out the forma promptly, have them sworn to before the section voting officer or any non-com above the rank of corporal, and mail them not later than August 31. They go to the secretaries of the soldiers' home states. The postcard applications will be given postal priority and will be sent "air-mail free." It is up to the individual to mail his own application. USWBC Form No. 1 is the official application for ballots in all states except South Carolina where a special letter must be used. However, there are 16 states, including South Carolina, where additional steps must be taken to insure receipt of the ballot. These 16 states (listed below) require soldiers to register for the election before the ballots are sent out. The special registration states are Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, New Jersey, North and South Dakota, South Carolina, West Virginia and Wisconsin. If you resided in one of these states before entering the service, consult your unit voting officer on the steps necessary to acquire a ballot. Eligibility Up To States. In all other states, the USWBC form will bring a ballot, provided you are eligible to vote. Whether you are eligible or not is for the individual states to decide. The Army has no jurisdiction there. Its responsibility is to furnish the application. State absentee ballots will be the only ballots used this year by soldiers stationed inside the United States. The Federal ballot has been rejected by all states for use within the country. Twenty states, however, will accept the Federal ballot from GIs overseas, who applied for but did not get a state ballot by October 1. Following is a list of the unit voting officers: Section A A, Lt. W. J. Taylor, Jr.; Section A, 2nd Lt. Alick Mitchell; Section B, Lt. E. C. Morin; Section C, Maj. E. A. Kane; Section D, Lt. M. L. Porter; Section E, Capt. J. A. Heatherly; Section F, 2nd Lt. E. J. DiGiovanni; Section H, Lt. B. A. Wei-be; Section I Capt. H. L. Lawson; Section K, Capt. W. A. Jones; Section L, Capt. W. M. Hampton; Section M, Capt. M. W. Jacobson; Section N, Lt. C. Mc- Geehan; Section O, Lt. H. E. Norman; Section P, Capt. R. C. Adams; Section Q, 2nd Lt. R. H. Loher; Section R, Lt. M M. Radomsi; Section T, Capt. T. D. Korte; Section U, 2nd Lt. W. W. Hitchcock; Section V, Lt. A. J. Sapecky; Section W, Capt. W. C. Sowers; Section X, Capt. C. O. Hackley; Bands, WOJGs F. E. Smith and T. J. Nichols; Nurse detachment, Capt. E. N. Johnson and Rifle Range, Capt. Paine. That Plane In Sky Was Filming Post GIs who craned their necks last Saturday and wondered at the gyrations of an airplane which persisted in zooming hither and thither over the post might be relieved to know that its crew was performing an official mission. Through the courtesy of Seymour Johnson Field authorities, 1st Lt. B. B. Bright, pilot, and Cpl. John Degnall, photographer, paid an official aerial visit to the post to obtain vertical and oblique aerial photographs of the post. The photos, made at the request of ORD officials, are believed to be the first aerial photographs over taken of this post.
