Good shoes are so scarce that one soldier was offered the equivalent of $100 for his pair of GI brogans. He refused, remarking, "Later I may regret that I didn walk away In my sock feet."

Yank 'Air Unit Fares Healthy In Australia Flying Fatigue Biggest Of Problems In Aussie Bush, Surgeon Reports By FRANCIS L. MCCARTHY AREA, Southwest Pacific, Aug. 3. (U.R)-- American a i of air group who live in pyramidal tenls on the edge of a i i hacked out of the Australian bush, are enjoying better liealth on the whole than they clirl at home, Flight Surgeon Maj.

Levon Garron of San Francisco, reported here. Flying fatigue 3s "Doc" Garron biggest problem to date. Because personnel of the group fly some of the war's longest ovenvater missions-- their average strike lasts from JO to 15 hours-- they begin to show signs of strain a 150 hours of combat flying, he believes. A week's leave for every three months of combat flying eases pilots' mental strain, but "Doc doesn't think it should end there. He believes instead in a "rest cure policy In three phases.

Big City First The rest cure starts with a week's leave in a big city, where flying crews can let off steam. Then comes another week of rest in i surroundings with plenty of fresh air and fresh eggs, butter and milk, A this phase comes the third when the crews are grad- ualy "rebroken" into combat flight. With the rest cure plus the current replacement policy for combat personnel, problems of flight fatigue i have eased up recently, Garron said. Topography of this American camp area, deep in the heart of Australia's wilderness, is generally flat. Tents nestle in heavily-wooded bivouac areas among low, rolling hills.

i i is at a i i i warm days and cool nights. Camp SanH.ilion Good Good sanitation prevails throughout the camp. There are no fly or mosquito breeding sites of any importance. The water supply for the camp is through a deepbore well. Housing conditions are generally excellent.

All buildings arc of semi- permanent construction with" con crete floors, and tin sides and roofs. Buildings arc screened where pos- Ve'ry little dysentery of fungus infection has occurred. This was believed due to careful supervision of the area and personal sanitation. Only malaria to appear in this area came several months ago after severl of the heavy bomber crews were' operating from New Guinea bases for a few weeks.
