BOMBER IN
JAP ATTACK
LOSES WAY
Makes Safe Landing-Cdp-
Tain, Five Other Men
of Crew Interned

MOSCOW, April 24-The first re-
port concerning last Saturdays SEN
sational bombing raid on the jap
anese Islands came today as TASS,
official Russian news agency, an
nounced that an American plane,
identified by its crew as a partici-
pant in the surprise attack on the
Jap cities, made forced landing
somewhere in Siberia.
1t is reported that the plane car
ried captain and five men in its
crew and that the huge bomber
was forced to land after the navi-
gator had lost his bearings. The
announcement said that in ac-
cordance with International Law,
Soviet authorities have informed the
plane and its crew.
This is the first direct word from
any source telling of the landing
of any of the planes which raid
ed Japan. There is still no word
from any other of the United Ma
tons regarding the raids.
The British Reuters News Agency
said that the Moscow radio broad
cast these reports from Khabarovsk,
that the plane landed in Russian
Far Eastern territory.
Thus, it was not stated specifical-
ly where the American warplane
landed But Khabarovsk, where
the report apparently originated, is
200 miles west of the Sea of Japan,
and 400 miles north of Vladivostok.
The United States Consul Gen.
eral at Vladivostok, Angus Ward,
is handling the affairs OF the AM
orleans at that end. 1t is officially
announced.

Many Questions, Including
Alaskan Defenses, May Be
Answered Soon, Maybe Not
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, April 24-There
is a laugh on the Selective Service
camp operations division in con-
section with the Lew Ayres story
His file had been in the camp
operations division office here for
weeks. 1t had been handled by a
number of persons, several of
them movie fans, who still think
Lewis acting in "All Quiet on the
Western Front" was one of the
great performances of all time on
the screen. Yet no one recognized
the file as that of Lew Ayres, the
actor
The reason undoubtedly was that
the file of the young man who
turned his back ON war and Holly
wood, because of convictions that
all war is an unholy business, in
which he should not participate,
was listed under the name Freder-
lex Lewis Ayres.
The Camp Operations Division
of Selective Service, which is in
charge of the "a camps in which
conscientious DIRECTORS work, says
there now are some $500 young
men enrolled.
Since Pearl Harbor, only about
20 of these have withdrawn to join
the armed forces.
The National Service Board for
Religious Directors, which acts as
clearing house for funds from
the religious organizations which
support the camps, says that since
the United States entered the war,
the ratio of men going into the
camps to men drafted into the army
has continued about constant. In
other words, the religious scruples
which prevent a man from taking
up arms are not affected by the
country's entry into the conflict.
If all the rumors about Frances
Perkins being relieved as Secre-
tary of Labor we're laid end to end,
they would probably reach from
John l.. Lewis to William Green.
Nevertheless, it may be worth re-
cording that the latest capital Cos.
sip is that John Winant, ambassa-
dor to Great Britain may be brought
home to head the labor department
IF good spot can be found for
The administrator loyal Madame
Perkins. This time the soothsayers
have these facts on their side Win
ant apparently is restless to get
back into the thick OF things here
and in appointing him secretary OF
labor the President would not be
committing himself to either of
the two principal labor factions.
Questions that may be answered
soon-or may not Why was Leon
Henderson really sent to South
America? Will Jesse Jones emerge

sounded in the closing number, and
rushed home to greet her guests.
When she arrived she found Sem

ing her, for he had been unable to
attend the concert. The fact that
the Wednesday evening series of

ranged In the dining room. Small
tables were placed about the draw
ing room and music room for the
convenience Of the guests who sat
about in small groups as they en-
joyed the supper.

piano soioist last evening, did not
stand with MIS-. Beale to receive, but
was escorted into the music room
and presented by members Of the
