HONOLULU, June IT Up
Another story of A m r / C a n
craftsmanship against the Jap
anese in the battle off Midway
Island was related today by
crew members of a Flying Fort
reSs.
Pilot Lieutenant E a r d
Steedman of Sherman, Tex,
whose crew included Corporal
Frank Frucci of Niles, Mich,
told how they dropped bombs
on a transport June 3 and an
aircraft carrier the next day.
The crew nicknamed their
plane "Goonie."
"Goonie," said S { e e d m a n,
contacted the enemy the after
noon of June 3. We selected a
transport for the target and
dropped all our eggs, scoring
several direct hits, and did not
draw a single burst of ack-ack."
Through a hole in the clouds,
the japanese fleet was spotted
by "Goonie' the next day and
bombs were dropped through the
opening to hit a large carrier on
the port side of the bow in spite
of in e S anti aircraft fire,
Steedman said.
Soon afterwards, japanese
planes returned from their at
tack on the island and found
the carrier ablaze. Some tried to
land on the burning deck to
refuel but plunged into the sea.
American planes shot down sew
eral of the japanese flyers be-
fore returning to Midway.
Three Zero fighters attacked
"Goonie." One was shot down,
another crippled and the third
fled, Steedman said.

WASHINGTON, June 17-CP)
President Roosevelt called on
the nation today TO engage in a
concerted drive for total physl-
cal and moral fitness with
particular emphasis on elimina-
ton Of "redlight' districts in
war industry areas.
In a letter to Paul V. MCNutt,
director of the office Of defense
health and welfare, the Presi-
dent declared that such districts
contributed a major part of the
Venereal disease infection found
in army camps and naval sta
tioLs.
Asserting the interdepact-
mental committee on Venereal
disease has made splendid
progress in eliminating these,
the President said the campaign
must be extended to industrial
areas, with the full cooperation
of federal, state and local gov
ernments, business and industry,
the medical profession, schools,
and churches.
In urging united emphasis on
the moral annd physical fitness
drive, the President observed
that this is one effort in which
every man, woman, and child
can play his part and share in
ultimate victory"
This job depends ultimately
upon the people themselves and

bring chairs on which to sit.

birthday to be held throughout the
country, the funds of which arc
to be used for victims of infan-
tile paralysis are subject to the
admissions tax according to Clark
ESQUIRE, Collector of Internal Reve-
nue., in an announcement made to-
day.
Mr.. Squire explained that while
affairs of this nature were not
taxable in previous years, the
Revenue Act of 1941 eliminated all
charitable entertainments fro m
this category and imposed tax
of 10 percent OF the admission
cost on all tickets sold.
Attention is, therefore, being
called to all Presidents Birthday
Ball committees to add the fed
eral tax to the price for which
tickets are being sold. Applications
for proper forms or for further in
formation should be made to Mr.
Squire at Tacoma. or TO any one
Of the field offices.
