LIojo]P 5-30 form 'Umbrella' Tests Air At the end of this month West- ern Europe will again be testing out its combined and co-ordinated air defences, says a British release. Once again British, American, French, 'Belgian and: Dutch jet fighters with, for the first time, a Danish squadron, will put a four- day umbrella ef defence over a line from' thé Daiteh 'doast to the Alps and for 8300 miles back over its hinterland. »*~ 2 Last year this exercise was call- ed "Cupola" and was directed by the Western Union staff at ¥on- tainebleau with the U.S.A. playing almost an. unofficial. role. This year the exercise is a fully-fledged North Atlantic Treaty affair under General Eisenhower. and. his air chief, central: sector, General Naor- stad, who will have operational command of the trials. | CALLED 'SUNSHADE' "Cupola" was stage one in the United Air 'Defence * of Europe. Stage two, which we shall see this | month, has been . given the code | name "Ombrelle" which 'is 'French When an" official for "sunshade," I offic of the North Atlantic organization | was told-that "Ombrelle' sounded less weighty and all-covering than "Cupola" he replied, "Yes, but an it is flexibility of handling which 'ombrelle' is easier to handle and we want to try out." : In actual 'fact, the scale of "Ombrelle" will be about the same as for "Cupola" but there are in- dications that the attack will be heavier and the main defence sec- tors will take in a larger area, Belgium and Holland. will have the biggest concentration of fight- ers. There "are four day-fighter airfields set aside in Belgium for Belgian and American units and one airfield for' Belgian night fight- In Holland ' will be 'two :airdromes housing 'Royal Air Force Vampires and 'a third for Dufch and Danish Meteors. France will man only two fields-- Rheims' and 'Luxeuil--the former for American Thunderjets and 'the latter for tsemselves, while French Vampire units will also be in Lux- emburg, GUARDS THE EAST / A glance at the map will show this as a realistic placing of de- fence along the classic line from the Low Countries, south through Luxembourg, to Luxeuil. It is a line against attack from the East --and doubtless that is where the "Ombrelle" attack will come from --from British and American bombers based in Germany, Unlike "Cupola" there will be no groups of . fighters back near Paris-- everything will .be in the "front line" and one of the objectives will be to bring off interceptions at the remotest possible points from the industrial areas and to engage the "enemy" on his own side off the fence. Once again the actual numbers of aircraft employed are not the main thing. No one pretends that the N.A.T.O. powers have yet got the modern aircraft they need. The manufacture all over Eyrope of jet fighters is a slow business which, though getting under way, will not become formidable for some years. Britain's own air rearmament pro- gram cannot, as has been announc- ed, reach a peak before 1953--and the U.S,, although currently in a better position, has also consider- able expansion ahd other demands on its resources. But it' would be unforgivable if, when the air ar- madas are ready, the ground or- ganization was not. Radar screens, radio fighter direction operations rooms, telecommunications all these things matter just as much in modern war as the aircraft themselves. : HOW IT WORKS Think what happens when a bomber raid is intercepted. The first warning comes from the radar chain. This has to cover the whole of Western Europe's frontiers and has to -be of the latest equipment and manned by skilled and highly trained forces. The radar chain has to report the raid back to the fighter control units and to the sector and area operations rooms. The actual fighters have to be "scrambled" maybe from several airfields, or patrols already flying have to be steered to the danger zone. Meanwhile, the fighters in 'the initial interception have to be di- rected onto the enemy--while for hundreds of miles around, the sec- onfl and third lines of air defence and all the ack-ack guns and mili- tary target areas have to be warn- ed to stand by. The main opera- tions rooms, too, must know in a flash what is going on so that they can piece 'this one raid into the over-all pattern-of a battle which may be raging along the whole frontier. Redeployments may be necessary quick adjustments made ta meet emelgencies caused by bombing. . And all this as the enemy approaches--maybe at 600 m.p.h. . Without these things a modern defence is useless, And it all de- pends upon telecommuniications-- upon radar, radio and a network of direct telephone and teleprinter circuits" duplicated and redupli- cated twisting and meshing all over Europe irrespective of pure- ly 'national boundaries.

The army headquarters yester- day said Lt.-Col. John K. Mahony, 39, V.C,, has been named to com- mand one of the three infantry battalions in the new 27th Bri- gade. The quiet, solid - Irishman from New Westminster, B.C., is undoubtedly the happiest man in the army. .For he's been struggling for years against the "penalty" that says a V.C. can't fight again. There's one blot on the happi- ness of this man who neither smokes nor drinks nor utters strong profanity, this antithesis of the flambuoyant, swashbuckler of - military romance -- the 1st Canadian Infantry Battalion doesn't include a company from his own Westminster Regiment. Otherwise he would be as happy as army regulations allow a sol- dier. He might even go out and have a drink or smoke. Listen and we'll tell you why. WOUNDED THREE TIMES Seven years ago this month he won the V.C. by holding a bridge- head over the Melfa River in Italy against heavy odds. He was wounded three times, but he and his' company and a few armored corps men without 'armor saved the victory gained a few hours be- fore in the costly breaching of the Hitler line. The Germans, instead of being able to throw up another line on the Melfa; were driven in rout for many miles north. Those were the greatest 24 hours in" Jack Mahony's life. They became the cause of some of his worst frustrations. | "Where are you going ?", asked { Triquet. "Back to my unit," said Ma- hony. "That's what you think," said Triquet. Triquet was right. STOWED AWAY TO FRONT But Mahony wasn't licked. He put in a few restless days and then he vanished from the rein- forcement depot--went A.W.L. for the first time in his life. He stowed away aboard a truck head- ing for the front. When they got into the rear echelon area several days later, he heard queries being made about a missing Maj. Mahony. He slip- ped away and got all the way up to his unit. ; ; There the' commdnder, Lt.-Col. Gordon Corboult, how in Korea, came to him as a close but em- barrassed friend to tell him to leave. It was orders, he 'said. They posted Jack Mahony to di- vision headquarters and told him to stay a discreet distance from the front. They gave him a jeep and made him a liaison officer. He hated it. He started slipping away and going back to his. unit. His superiors told him he'd have to cut it out. : This went on for weeks before it finally came to a head and he was paraded before Gen. Hoff- meister. In the general's caravan, Jack Mahony recalled later, he heard more good advice and coun- sel than he'd ever got before in a few brief minutes. The general, a born. fighter himself, explained why V.C.'s can't fight again. A V.C. might be killed or wounded and public reaction would be or so later. The commander, Maj.-Gen. Bert Hoff- meister came to the Westminsters' rest area and told him formality and Mahony stood there, quaking and thinking His V.C. was awarded a month | 5th Division's | without | somebody | PLUMBING & HEATING ® REPAIRS! eo NEW WORK! © LOWEST PRICES! ® GUARANTEED WORK!

Mahony nearly collapsed from nervousness, It didn't help, he once said, to see that the King was almost as nervous. Then the trouble started. They told him he had to go to hospital. He knew it. He hadn't been feel- ing well for weeks. A few weeks later he reported to the reinforcement depot far be- hind the lines. people he met was another V.C. major, Paul Triquet of Cabano, Que., just back from Canada and "browned-off" over bond-tour sol- diering. : was pulling an enormous joke.

Or he might feel he had to live up to his decoration and take risks unfair to him- self and his men. The general got the major post- ed back tg Canada for a staff course with a promise to take him to the Pacific with the 6th Divi- sion. The 6th didn't get there he- cause peace came. Jack Mahony was the only V.C. to stay in the army, He wanted a job with the troops. For a time he worked with cadets and liked it. Then théy made him director of. public relations at army héad- quarters to use, his prestige. He never quite liked the job. : He had nothing against news- paper men but P.R. work wasn't soldiering.
