After having made six long boat trips to his home country from India in the 23 years he has been stationed there, the air-trip, uncomfortable and interrupted as it was, seemed the acme of travel pleasure to Marshall, assistant general manager for the Standard-Vacuum Oil Company in India. Prefers Air Travel "From now on I will travel by air, whether it be on a crowded Army freight plane or in a luxuri ous commercial airliner, Marshall declared here yesterday, Six days from Karachi to Miami was the plane schedule but owing to Army priorities Marshall was compelled to endure a five-day wait on an isolated West African air base while most of his travel ing companions across India and Africa continued on their way to America. Even so it was infinitely to be preferred to the long boat trip such as Mrs. Marshall experienced on her last two voyages to her home land. Evacuated from India in March, 1942, she spent 32 danger- packed and exciting days on the Wakefield, a Navy transport which last September burned in the Atlantic.

In 1937 she and her youngest daughter, then only five, and ill, spent seven weeks on a freighter in which Frank Buck was "bringing them back alive." The mon otony of that voyage was enlivened by the fact that one of Buck's pythons fled its cage and was "on the loose" for many days. "The passengers, Marshall said of the trip," most of them soldiers ind Army men, eat close together on small metal seats lined along the sides of the plane. All the time the plane's ribbing dug into one's back. We sat up night and day! and only had relief from our cramped positions when we stopped at Army bases along the way to eat. This we did frequently, since there was no food aboard the plane.

We ate in the Army mess. Sometimes we had breakfast at 2 a. After India, wartime "Americans seem to be living in the lap of luxury, Marshall finds. He can see no effect of food rationing. What impresses him most is the absence of automobiles and taxis.

This was especially noticeable In New York, where one may have to wait half an hour, even before the largest hotels, in order to get a taxicab, he said. Bombay No Longer Gay Stationed in Bombay since he and his staff were evacuated from Calcutta when Jap bombing of that city began, Marshall says that that once gay city (Bombay) is almost devoid of social life. "I fear that many Americans still don't realize we are fighting a hard war. To me you seem to have all you need or could want. Good food is very scarce in India and new clothing almost is nonexistent.

While members of the foreign colonies have no ration books, we can only buy just so much food. Meat, sugar, potatoes and fresh vegetables are very scarce, and we now are compelled to depend on root vegetables. Some weeks we can get no meat and other weeks no potatoes," he said. Marshall declined to discuss military conditions in India or the changed feeling (if any) on the outcome of the war. am too closely associated with INSPECTORS- WAHTD) Men or Women for inspection work on aircraft parts and assemblies.
