Corporal Saves Plane, Pilot at Cherry Point Cherry Point? Marine Corp. Wal ter W. Gerloff can walk up to the paymaster this month and feel that he has well earned his paycheck. He not only saved the Navy a half million dollar aircraft but could well have saved the pilot s life in the bargain. Corporal Gerk>ff'? working of fice is the mobile tower at the end of Cherry Point's duly runway. Yesterday afternoon he wa$ Standing his post when a Navy pilot in a F9F-8 (Panther) jet made his final approach. The air craft's wheels were still retracted. Gerloff picked up the Argus Lamp and flashed the pilot a red light. He did not acknowledge it but continued to make his landing, ilits 'Panic* Button He next hit the button that fires the Very shell automatically and picked up the microphone. "Aircraft on final approach, you have no wheels, take a wave-off and come around again." At this the pilot realized what he was doing and applying full power, zoomed out over the run way and came around again. Saved: One aircraft and possibly one pilot's life. Normally a Wheels Watch on the end of the runway is just what the name implies: He watches for wheels. There are dttier jobs tnorp in? i teresting in the Marine Corps; there are other jobs that pay more, have a greater ehance for advance ment. Certainly watching for wheels on landing aircraft is nat the mast thrilling thing a guy can do. Pay Justified But when something like this comcs along, not only does it make a man feel that he is accomplish ing something, but it mare than justifies his paycheck. This is the fourth "save" Ger loff has to his credit. While sta tioned in Hawaii, he "saved " two AD's and one FJ-3 (Fury) jet. For tunately this is the first time Cherry Point's Wheel Watch has had to "save" an aircraft this year. Corporal Gerloff is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Gerloff of Coopcrsburg, Pa. Before entering the Marine Corps in January 1955 he attended Fountain Hill High School in Bethlehem, Pa. and worked for his father on the fam ily farm. He is not married. Dr. Paul Dudley White, Presi dent Kisenhower's heart specialist, is an ardent believer in bicycling. He has been trying to expedite the construction of a public bicycle I path in Boston.

Sherman made quite a name for himself marching through Georgia. But time changes all things, and now Confederate generals have the Southern strongholds well in hand. Sherman'! successors at Third Army headquarters here recently did a little reconnaissance work in the seven-state area which the Federals conquered in the War Be tween the 9tates. Only Two Federals A quick count showed that four of the nine posts in the area are named for Southern Civil War gen erals, but only two of the posts are reminders of victorioua Union commanders. Two of tbe Confederate leaders probably would base their great est claim to fame on the fact that posts of fl? U.S. Array? which they once (ought ? are named is their honor. For exavple, how long has it been since you heard someone talk about Gen, Edmund Winchester Rucker, who fought for the "Lost Cause"? His name lives on at Ft. Rucker, Ala. Although the Stars and Bars of ( the Confederacy no longer fly over ] Columbus, Ga., Ft. Benning there i was named ill honor of a man who | fought for the South at Gettysburg. Chkkamauga and Petersburg. He , was Brig. Gen. Henry L. Benning, ; ? Columbus native who also was | noted as a state supreme court / Justice. ( Victory Not Repaired ' 1 John Brown Gordon, who was a \ Georgia senator and governor as well as a Confederate lieutenant c general, also was on the losing c side in the war. But his name is ( perpetuated at Ft. Gordon near 1 Augusta, Ga. : And in his native North Carolina, \ Ft. Bragg was designated in honor < of Gen. Braxton Bragg, ? eom- r mandtr of the Army of Tennessee, c Bragg defended the honor of the Confederacy at the battles of Shi- I loh and Murfreesboro and in bat- c ties around Chattanooga. i On the opposing aide at Chatta- J nooga was young James Blrdseye i McPherson, a Federal major gen- 1 eral who later died in the Battle 1 The chimney stands tall and bleak against the sky. The home, owned by Reuben WiHIs, was not occupied. The sheriff's depart ment is investigating because it Is believed the fire was set if Atlanta. His name was givea to ?1. McPherson, the present site of ftiird Army hradquartera in At anta. The other Union commander vhosc name was given to a post n (tie deep South was Gen. George i. McCleilan? commander of the trmy of the Potomac and Lin roln's Democralic opporent in 1S64. ft. McCleilan near Anniston, Ala., vai named in his honor. Ft. Campbell, Ky., might be ?minted hi the Northern camp be rause it was named for W. B. Campbell, who held the rank of rigadier general in the Union irmy very briefly during the Civil Var. But Campbell gained most if his fame as governor <rf Ten icssee sad as a Mexican War jommander. The two other posts in the Third Irmy area honor commanders in tarlier wars. Ft. Jackson, S. C., ? named for President Andrew laekson, a hero of the War of 1812; ind Ft. Stewart at Hinesville, Ga., jonora Gen. I. Daniel Stewart, a Revolutionary War leader.
