LICENSED TO PRACTICE Dr. A. J. Headrick, local veter inarian. passed the state exami nation, which he took several weeks ago, and has received his license to practice in North Caro lina. > A North Carolinian, Lt. Col. Jerry W. Davidson of Murphy, commands the AAF inspection team on the Carrier INDEPEND ENCE for the atomic bomb test. His duties include the prepara tion of items of AAF equipment and material for exposure on the flight deck of the carrier, and su pervision of the inspections which will be made to determine the re sults. Although equipment and personnel in Col. Davidson's charge belong to the Army Air Forces, the Air Unit of which they are a part has been included in the Army Ground Group of Joint Task Force One for administrative purposes. The object of the ex posure of the AAF test items on the deck of the INDEPENDENCE is to create a situation similar to that which would exist if AAF equipment on an air field were to be subjected to attack with the atomic bomb. It is hoped that cnce provided with information regarding the effect of the bomb, technicians of the AAF may be able to devise various measures of passive defense, including the de signing of equipment better able to stand up to the atomic blast than that now in use. Lt. Col. Davidson's previous military experience is of a sort to give him excellent qualifications for his present mission. Although originally commissioned in the In fantry, he transferred to the Air Corps in 1940 and trained at Randolph and Kelly Fields, Texas. Following graduation as a pilot, he was assigned to Barksdale Field, Shreveport, La., as an instructor and later was transferred to Stock ton, Calif., where he was assigned the duty of setting up a twin engine school. In February 1942, he spent sixty days in the Flight Test Section at Wright Field before reporting to the Headquarters of the 2nd Air Force. He served in the 2nd Air Force as squadron and group com mander. In June 1944 he was as signed to the 8th Air Force and was a member of the group of op erational engineers headed by Colonel Kelsey. He also flew com bat missions over Europe in Liberators. In June 1945 Lt. Col. Davidson returned from Europe and spent three months with the Air Trans port Command at Greenwood. Miss. In November, he reported for duty at Wright Field and on January 28, 1946, he was mad? project officer for Operation Crossroads. Lt. Col. Davidson wears the Air Medal in addition to the various theatre ribbons. Before entering the Army, Lt. Col. Davidson's life had been spent in the South. He was born in Murphy and received the degree of Aeronautical Engineer from North Carolina State College in 1937. During the two# and a half years immediately following his gradu ation he was a safety engineer with the Tennessee Valley Au thority. Despite his extended travels, he still considers Murphy his home. His wife and daughter have recently been visiting Lt Col. Davidson's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Davidson here. He arrived here last week to spend a few days.
