Athens expects Coffrin in the
‘heavens over Athens and sur
rounding territory as part of an
extensive skywriting campaign
which the parent company is car
rying on all over the country.
The specially equipped planes
used by Pepsi-Cola’s skywriters
give off a smoke compound of a
secret formula of oil, chemicals
and gas which is heavy enough to
keep the Pepsi-Cola message in
tact for thirty minutes unless
there is a strong wind. Skywrit
ing is generally done with the aid
of exact diagrams laid out ac
cording to the message to be writ
ten but some of the men observe
they have written “Pepsi-Cola”
s 0 many times that they could
write it with their éyes shut.
Recently returned tocivilian life
Pilot Coffrin, with the rank of‘
Lieutenant (S.G.) was in the
Navy Ferry Command for more |
‘than two years. He also had‘
charge of the Army Base at.
Jaclvson, Mississippi for a time,
and een after performing all sorts
of hi-jinks in the air in private
life, Coffrin says he was thrilled
the first time he flew a 2,300 h.p.
single-seater fighter. T
' Coffrin’ is 'also a’' Navy veteran
of World War I, in which he
served as Gunner’'s Mate; first
class, U. S. Destroyers patrolling
the North Sea and English Chan
nel.-
‘His most exciting moment dur
ing that war was the time a sub
marine missed his ship by fifty
yards off Plymouth, coming so
close that he could see the tor
pédo’s wake. :
Coffrir® has been flying for
more than eighteen years and has
a total of 5,200 hours in the air.
His interest in flying began in
1919 when he flew in a Navy
flying boat, but he difin’t start to
learn until 1927 and now he is
more at home in the air than any
where else. : ’
.He ‘is- a champion of women
fliers. When queried as to their
plane-handling ability as com
pared to men, hé said he was
amazed time and again at their
excellent technique which he-at
tributes in part to their pains
taking study of details in 'thé fly
ing manual before they even at
tempt to handle a plane. Of #ll the
WASPS who landed' daily on Cof
frin’s field in Jacksen, Mississ
ippi—flying P-51’s, P-38’s and
B-25’s—not one girl damdged =
plarv a far better record, he had
to admit, than that of the men
who repcrted there. . g
A member of the Quiet Bird
men, the aviator’s club, flying is
Coffrin’s hobby as wel as his pro
[fession Next in order are deep~
sea fishing and boating.

Army Moves To Put End To Black ..,
Market Operations In Germany ,
BY HAL ROYLE
BERLIN, June 25 —(AP) —
The golden era when an Ameri
can soldier could = translate a
carton of cigarets in Germany
into a $l5O bauk deposit back
livme is over.
New currency restrictions in
Occupied Europa are sounding
the death kneil tc one of the
greatest military rackets in his
tofy, the introduction of serial
fiLinpeiea Cuweiicy CONLIOL DUORS |
i: ending a 13 monih ride at the
taxpayer’s expense. _ "
Tae racket in it, simplest from
Wwas based on the sale of cigar- !
ets. Army food and candg to
hungry Germans far extor itant
eims. in Allied currency marks,
rost of which were printed by
the Russians. A M S
It began with lhe first Amer
ican troops to 2nter Berlin, Sol
dier< found that they could get
3:00 tg S2OO for 2 carton of ci
rarets. 85 to $lO for a bar of
crocolate. Taey could then take
tiic marks to the nearest army
rosioffice, convert them into
mcney orders and imnail’ them to
reiatives or banks in the United
Stateg against a post-war rainy
day.
‘ - Svpread Like Fire
The racket snread like a prai
rie fire throughout the Army of
Crcupation. It knew no rank.
(‘olonels and corporals played
tae game toge'her, sometimes
standing for hours at the post
cffice windows. A new group of
Lig-time operators arose known
as ‘“Yhe Berlin '~ Millionaires.”
Instead of relying on the ped
dling of extra Army cigarette ra
tions, they imyported their own
|c'alt'ons from the States by the
kundreds, There were top many
lin the racket for it to have any
~aceial stigma. Scme were repor
ted tO have made as much as
"fit‘tv to a hundred thousand dol
lar~ in a few months.
{ Embarrasseq by the discovery
that -the Army was sending
Leme th-ee times tae amount it
was being paid, wuthorities last
Fall made their first atfempt to
éontrol the racke:. They' distri
buied currency exchange con
trol boé(s whieh listed each sol-
Giers pay. Money transfers to
America and sums spent in Ger
rany in excess of fen dollars
{vrere deducted. Unfortun‘ately",
aowever. no central -record of
{he books was kept. Enterprising
warriors and ,civiliang attached
to the Army foung little diffi
culty’ in obtaiminz several extra
buoks. By astute private book
keeping they cculd-make their
own -entries and parley taeir
earnings several times.
Got Extra Books
A soldier with a S2OO balance
in ‘hig legal bock, for example,
could prepare -dentical entries
in sou- extra beoks and send
heme SI.OOO.
" The new books will be serially
numbered and a central caeck
made so that no soldier can man- -
ipulate with extra bcoks.
Al-eady the steady operators
are looking “for ‘loopholes. “A
‘s.nart guy can always find his
way through any system,” they
SHV. re
) But finance officers are con
{ident the new bLooks will cut
tiie flood of illegal postal money
crders to a dribble by eliminat
irig “the “easy mniciiey' amateur.”
Thev feel the average soldier is
unwilling to risit detection on
open forgery.
S{ill untouched [s one way of
capitalizing on biack market ni
coiine profits—the purchase of
Ge'man glassware, antiques and
other property ior resale or use
in America. German goods of
anv kind are so higH however,
that this trade is negligible in
comuvdrison.
“‘Manv feel that the best way
to reduce the bLlack market to
it 3 minimtum is t¢ arrange for
the shipment and sale of cigar
ettes and tohacen to Germany
in such quawtitics as to make
illegal dealing improfitable,
