MAG 12 Sets Enviable Record During Three-Year Korean Tour

NAVY HEADQUARTERS, Yokohama, Japan-"Heavy hauler" squadrons of Marine Air Group 12 of the First Marine Air Wing recently celebrated their third year in Korea.

raiders and Corsairs were still in action when the truce was signed at Panmunjom, Korea, and up until 35 minutes before the cease. fire was in effect.

83,000 Sorties During the three_year period

the Marine airmen flew more than 83,000 day and night sorties, ranging from close air support to interdiction missions which har. rassed the Communists through. out the war. Interception and es- cort missions were flown through good and bad weather alike in support of United Nations ground movements.

Names which became synonom_ otts with Marine aviation such as t h e Wolfraiders, Devilcats, Checkerboards and Polka Dots will not soon be forgotten by their fellow Marines who manned the main line of resistance. But Marine aerial warfare was by no means restricted to the front lines, as the Leatherneck fliers at times hit far north to the Yalu River.

Reunion at Kaneohe

LOPSIDED WORLD-The Murdock brothers feel the globe is larger in some spots than others Reason for this is the fact that both served in the Korean area without meeting. Yet, when Navy Storekeeper Dewey L. Murdock, (right) pulled into Kaneohe Bay aboard an LST to pick up a company of Marine amphibious tractors bound for the Mainland, he found his brother, Billy, 21, in the State- side_bound contingent. Billy, a Marine Corporal, has been In the Is- lands for six months serving with the Task Force.

Brothers' Reunion on LST 1st Since Joining Service

The world gets small in the darnedest places. That at least, is the combined opinion of the Murdock brothers

of Greenville., Texas. Cpl. Billy W. Murdockt, 21, a Marine. since December, 1950, served through three major campaigns in Korea

with the first Marine Division.

Lest He Forget Chaplain Kermit I. Meier

The noted comedian, Frank Fay, made a comment recently over the radio that should make one pause and think a moment. He said, "Every time I pass a church I stop and make a visit, just so when I'm carried in, the Lord won't have to say, 'Who is it ?'."

Going to church regularly is no magic potion or special re- quirement for getting into heaven, but I can't think of a better place for a man to get acquainted with God. There are many ways of worshiping God, but the average man or woman doesn't make the use of them that he might. However, when a man goes into a church he thinks of it as the House of God and he knows that he is there for no other reason than to worship and learn more about God.

Be Honest With Yourself There arc many people who never darken the door of the

church, not because they believe it is a worthless institution, but for one of a dozen other reasons. I believe if more people were honest with themselves they would realize that they still have much to learn about God and that the church is one of the best places to make His acquaintance. For those non-church roers who might read this column, let me tell you what I tell people to their face when I advise them to attend church, "I guarantee you it won't do you any harm, and you might be sur- prised to find that it does you some good".

His brother, Navy Storekeeper Dewey L, Murdock, 19, was in Korean waters during that same period. They didn't meet.

When a company of amphib- ious tractors got ready to move back to Camp Pendleton from MCAS, Kaneohe Bay, the brothers finally got together. Billy found that he and his outfit would be aborad the same ship to which his brother is assigned.

Finally Meet "There we were, in the same

area for almost a year," mar- veled the brothers, "and we never did get together. All of a sudden, this ship puts in for one day to pick up an outfit and we have a chance to spend a week together on the way back to the Main- land."

Dewey entered the Navy in April, 1952, and was with the Navy team which handled the prisoner exchange program ear- lier this year. When that duty ended, he was again assigned to a ship. At the time his outfit left the West Coast for the Islands, he didn't know it was to pick up the same outfit to which his brother is assigned.

"I am not worried about the single game elimination tourney," Coach Tulipane said, "I think it will give us more experience than anything else."

He went on to say, "There are still 15 suits to be filled on the team."

Kaneohe will use an offensive attack similiar to the play devised by Nat Holman, famous coach of the New York City College.

Other quintettes competing in the District tournament are: Sub. Pac, Pearl Harbor Marines, Bar. bees Point, CinCServPac, Corn- Sta and Naval Base. The tour. nament will end December 5 with a consolation game slated after the championship game.

Marines 27 - FOR RECORD

by CPL. TOM CREACHBAUM

A slim crowd of nearly 1,000 football.minded fans were present at the Honolulu Stadium Wednesday night to witness an undefeated and untied Honolulu 49er squad explode for four touchdowns to hand the Kaneohe Marines their second straight defeat 27-0. It was Kaneohe's third Armed Forces-University of Hawaii conference loss.

The Windward Leathernecks Were trailing 7.0 at halftime and it appeared the 49ers were in trouble but 49er halfback Johnny Dang's running showed through in the second half to down the Leathernecks.

Interception Leads to Score Kaneohe won the toss and elected to receive. At the outset, the

Marines took over on their own 15 yard. line. Two plays bogged clown but on the third play sharpshooter Ernie Billinovic dropped back to his goal line to send one off the arm to a Kaneohe receiver. He was rushed but got the pass away. Then 49er Bill Kaae, line. backer, materialized from nowhere and pulled the pigskin out of the air. He broke loose at the Big K 15, cut for the sidelines and was finally shuttled groundward from behind on the Marines' 5. On the next play Kaae split off right tackle for a pair of yards to set up the next play for Pang. Johnny fired up his boilers to break through the Middle of the Kaneohe line and romped into the end zone for a half_dozen points. Keola made the conversion and thus. raised the score to 7.0.

Kaneohe Defense Stiffens Kaneohe's defense of the golden uprights shown brilliant dur

ing the second period. The Windwards' fire team line held the 49ers to only two first downs. They twice stopped the 49ers within the Marines' ll.yard marker. Outstanding line play by Kaneohe tackle Jack Adams halted the 49er running attack repeatedly as he broke up a number of cinch touchdown plays when Dang and company were deep in Kaneohe real estate.

A dousing factor against Kaneohe's touchdown express was the interceptions of Billinovic's aerials in the third stanza when a trip to pay dirt looked definite for the Windwards. Shortly after Kaneohe received the halftime kickoff and had driven a 56.yard wedge upheld, 49er Ed Ferreira latched onto a looping Billinovic pass and ran to his own 23.

K.Bay Line Stops Conversion The 49ers then marched 77-yards for their score as Bill Kaae

smashed over the Leathernecks' right guard and into the end zone for the second touchdown. Keola made the conversion and the 49ers jumped to a 14.0 lead. Kaneohe was held on downs and the 49ers took over on their own 35. Dang, Galderia, Nelson and Miyasato car_ ried the ball to the Leatherneck 17. Karatti's jump-pass was corn. plete in the Kaneohe end.zone to Oliveria for the score. Galdeira's conversion was blocked by the hard-charging K.Bay line. The score stood at 20.0 early in the fourth stanza.

A 49er Halfback named Wally Dupont intercepted Buckeye Tailback Billinovic's pass late in the fourth stanza which led to the fourth and final touchdown. Dang moved the ball to the Kaneohe 17 where Galdeira flipped the final TD pass to Garcia, thus ending the scoring at 27.0 in favor of the 49ers.

Miles' Spectacular Runback With only about 45.seconds remaining in the game, Halfback

Lionel Miles of Kaneohe brought the fans on their feet with a spectacular runback of the 49er kick-off, The little K.Bay half. back, standing on the 10, cut for the far sideline, broke in the clear at the 20, was almost trapped at the 35, reversed his field at the 40, crossed the mid-field stripe, still on his feet, then was finally pulled down from behind at the 49er 35. Before Billinovic could bring his team up to the line of scrimmage the contest ended.

Most of the Kaneohe fans who witnessed the game remarked on the outstanding defensive play of Tackle Jack Adams whom they think is one of the best lineman in the league. Adams played 60.minutes of bruising, hard.charging football although his team went down into defeat at the hands of a powerful 49er eleven.

Billinovic played brilliant offense, having to reverse his field a number of times to get his aerials away. His passing and running gave the 49ers lots of trouble all evening. Tackle George Pearson and Big End Joe Connors did a tremendous job also on the rugged Kaneohe forward wall. ,,,1

KANEOHE'S GARDENER MAKES STATION BEAUTIFUL FOR FREE

Joe Medeiros has left the mark of his "Green Thumb" on every house and barracks area at Kaneohe. And, through his work, has imparted some of his knowledge of Hawaii's rare plant life to Marines stationed at the Windward base.

He is the air station's head gardener and has the responsi- bility of keeping the landscape attractive and he does it at no cost to the Marine Corps,

Medeiros has built up a green. house over about a year's time that now boasts an expensive as- sortment of plants which would turn a horticulturist green with envy.

His method to reduce cost is simple-he makes little plants out of big ones. And, when these get big, he makes more little ones.

To most gardeners the process for accomplishing this is known as, "air.layer". The main ingre. dients used are air and Hapua moss.

In applying this method at the Marine base, Joe Medeiros has multiplied threefold such plants as, croton, monsteria, banyan and philodendrun.

The process as Joe applies it: Just short of the main trunk of any of the above plants he in. cases a large limb in a plastic bag. Within the bag and com_ pletely incircling the limb he packs a generous amount of ha.

pua moss. In three weeks time the limb sprouts roots; when the roots have grown strong enough, Joe removes the plastic covering and moss. Then between the trunk of the main plant and the new roots, he saws the limb free,

The new tree or plant is then placed in its own container full of rich dark earth. In time, the new addition to the air station greenhouse is big enough to give birth to its own offsprings.

One of Joe's present projects is getting ready for Christmas. He started preparation for this many months ago. Beginning with small slips, he has grown hundreds of poinsettas.

Joe has planned so well he believes almost all of the poinset. to will be in full bloom during Christmas week. The plants will be placed at advantageous places all over the base to add to the yuletide spirit.

AIR LAYER PROCESS

TREE IN A TREE-Joe Medeiros, Kaneohe's head gardener, right shows CWO Walter Wesson, Station Communications officer, how to multiple a croton bush. The process is known as "air.layer" and actually produces a new plant from the main growth. Medeiros is pointing to a plastic bag pack.2d with damp Hapua moss which gen. crates a root growth on the limb where it is attached. In three weeks the upper limb can be sawed from the main stem and you have a new plant.

WORLD'S RECORD-Lt. Col. F. K. "Pete" Everest, Edwards AFB, Calif., stands beside the F_100 Super Sabre jet fighter with which he set the world's speed mark averaging 754.98 mph in two passes over the desert course near Salton Sea, Calif. This passed the 753.4 mph record set by the Navy with the Skyray in October. 0

MAG IN KOREA (Continued from page 1)

from Korean bases to widespread Communist targets. To Capt. Wil. Liam T. Foster went the privilege of dropping the last bomb for the Marines.

Honors were distributed throughout the "heavy haulers." The Wolfraiders squadron poured more than 157 tons of bombs on the Communists in a single day, using the one-engine Skyraiders to accomplish the task. The Devilcat squadron expended near. ly a 1/4.million rounds of cannon ammunition in close air support runs and fights with various Red aircraft.

Skynights Active While the Corsairs and Skyraid..

ers were resting for the next day's activity, the Douglas "Sky. night" twin-jet raiders from the Flying Nightmare squadron set a few marks of their own. Maj. Wil_

ham Stratton downed a YAK-15 L

in Nov, 1952 to become the first pilot to score a night jet kill. Later in the same month, Capt. Oliver R. Davis knocked down a Russian.built MIG to score the first MIG downed in night fight_ ing.

Not all of the achievements of the Marine fliers were restricted to land-based operations. Flying from a series of escort carriers in the Yellow Sea, the Checker. boards and the Polka Dots es- tablished an outstanding record in raids in the western sectors of North Korea.

MIG Killer Perhaps the most eneviable

accomplishment during the three. year long Korean War was turn. ed in by Capt. Jesse Folmar of the Checkerboards. He outfought and destroyed a Russian_built MIG that was capable of flying twice the speed of his propeller. driven Corsair.

Medal of Honor Fire a hundred

rounds or so from a light machinegun and you can light a cigar off the barrel. It gets that hot. You can get pretty badly burned firing one from the hip. But sometimes it's necessary ....

"Outpost Bruce" was about a mile in front of the main line of resistance, That was back in the early part of September 1952. Sweating it out there was pl. Alford Lee McLaughlin -he was a private first class then-a machine gunner with Co. I, 5th Marines, 1st Div. He had been withdrawn from Outpost Bruce the week before, but had volun. teered to go back on Sept. 1 when a call for replacements came through.

Outpost Bruce had been pound. ed for days. Chinese artillery and mortars had been trying to soften it up. McLaughlin worked hard organizing the defense of the out. post before the Chinese attacked twice in an assault that lasted all night.

Both times the Reds attacked at battalion strength. MaLaugh. fin's defense fire was smart: "right out of the book." But when that many men move in on you, you have to add something to the book. You have to add personal courage.

McLaughlin had it. He was hit early in the attack, but he kept

.

up a withering fire with his two machineguns. When things looked real bad, McLaughlin was up on his feet in full view of the enemy screaming encouragement to his buddies and firing his ma. chine gun from the hip.

Bleeding from his wounds, his hands blistered and seared by the heat of the machinegun barrels, McLaughlin dropped the weapons to the ground to cool, He picked up a carbine and kept up the fire. He threw hand grenades. And when the machineguns had cooled he picked them up again-tortur- ing his blistered hands-but keep_ ing up the fire.

After the attack was over they counted up the score for`Plo. Mc. Laughlin. He had killed 150 and wounded 50 of the enemy. For his courage and leadership in the de. lease of the strategic combat out- post he was awarded the Medal of Honor, (AFPS)
