Allies Principles Same
As LincoIn's, Winant Says

By the Associated Press.
LINCOLN, England, Feb. a.
Abraham Lincoln would have
grasped the reasons that have made
Britain and the United States allies
in this war, United States Ambas-
sador John G.. Winant said today
at a luncheon commemorating the
American emancipator' birthday
anniversary.
HE, like we, hated the tyranny
of man over man." Mr.. Winant said.
He was, as we are. the foes Of
any doctrine which seeks to en-
slave one race to another.
He. like we do, always insisted
that democratic government with
all its faults was one form of gov
ernment ultimately compatible with
the dignity of the human spirit.
He passed, as we have passed,
through the valley of the shadow
of death to the victory of a great
principle.
In these troublous, uncertain
days. when all we love and cherish
is at stake, this time-swept city
which has stood close to 1000 years
gives added anchorage to hope and
faith in the future of mankind"
Mr.. Winant was given the free
dom of the city in honor OF the
day.

japanese Davao Flee
Was Attacked From
Borneo Jungle Field
All Flying Fortresses
Returned From Jan. 4
Roid, Writer Reports
BY GEOFFREY TEBBUTT,


Foreign Correspondent of The Star and
MANA.
BATAVIA, Netherlands Indies,
Feb. III saw the feet of eight
American Flying Fortresses take of
from a jungle airport near Sama-
rinda, on the east coast Of Borneo,
for their January raid on japanese
warships in Davao Bay.
Until today I was not permitted to
tell the story Of the raid in which
a battleship or battle cruiser was hit,
a destroyer was sunk and several
other warships and troop transports
were damaged.
saw all the Flying Fortresses re-
turn without damage or casualties.
They took the Japanese completely
by surprise. Anti-aircraft fire did
not begin until the last two Amer
ican planes were over the target
and none of the five japanese fight
ers which got into the air was within
10000 feet of the attacking planes.
Four 72e-Pound Bombs.
The model IT'D, Fortresses ar
rived at the jungle airport at noon
on January 3. Each of them took
on 1000 gallons of gasoline and four
720-pound bombs. Neither me-
chanical fuel pumps nor bomb troll
leys were available at the field and
the task of loading the bombers
lasted until late at night and was
finished under the light of torches.
The American crews of the bomb
ers were remnants of a group of
many airmen whose aircraft had
been destroyed on the ground early
in the war. They became a potent
flying circus, covering prodigious
distances from constantly changing
bases. Their speciality was surprise
raiding.
The jungle quivered as the fort
resses took of in the fading MOON
light. Each was manned by three
officers and five men. The first
of the fortresses returned nine and
one-half hours later. The grimy.
grinning, hungry crews scrambled
out. They reported that at least
40 ships, including about 10 SUBJ
marines and many transports were
in Davao Bay. They decided to
concentrate on the warships.
Did Not See Bombs Strike.
Some of the crews did not see
their bombs strike because from a
height of $4,000 feet a bomb takes
40 seconds to reach sea level But
fortresses following in the rear Of
the squadron reported a bomb hit
on the stern and another near the
funnel of the largest ship which
then hove to. Another crew re-
ported the sinking of the destroyer.
The five Jap fighters which got
into the air apparently were cata-
pulled from warships but the fort
resses were able to climb above the
fighters range.
The day after the raid the bomb
ers moved on to another field for
another attack to keep the Japanese
guessing.
