BOMBERS WIN

Continued from Page u

west Australian coast:
The raid apparently was small,
for Curtin's communique said that
only one civilian was killed at
Broome and there were neither cas-
ualties nor damage at Derby.
Danger of Jap Blow
Nevertheless, these raids empna-
sized The danger Of a Japanese blow
at the northwest coast while enemy
forcs were marching through the
Markham Valley of New Guinea,
only $50 miles northeast of Cape
York at the northeastern tip of the
continent.
A Port Moresby dispatch said
American and Australian planes
were flying extensively over a great
area of the Huon Gulf on the north
New Guinea coast, from which these
enemy forces started, and other
areas under Japanese control.
Four enemy fighter planes sought
to intercept the Allied craft, the
dispatch said, but were driven off.
All Allied planes completed their
reconnaissance, observing all enemy
movements, and returned safe to
base.
A United Press Darwin dispatch
said that in their fifth raid on OAR
win Thursday the Allied anti-air-
craft defenses were so effective he
Japanese bombing was inaccurate
and haphazard.
Forty bombs, the usual quota for
Darwin, were dropped indiscrim-
inately about the town, the dispatch
said.
Shore Batters at Work
New York, March 21-cUP)-
Shore batteries at the port Of Spain
on Christmas Island in the Indian
ocean sank Japanese submarine
after it had torpedoed Norwegian
steamer, the Australian radio re-
ported tody.
Two submarines attacked and
sank the Norwegian ship before the
shore batteries scored direct hit
on one of the enemy raiders, the
broadcast, recorded by Obs, said.
The action was said to have occur
red recently"
"All torpedoes we're fired by two
submarines before the ship went
down." 1t said. "As the submarine
surfaced, shore batteries opened up
and quickly forced 1t down again.
Later the submarine came close to
TIE shore. Gunners from one OF the
shore batteries sighted her and
opened fire. They scored direct hit.
The submarine came to the surface,
rolled over, showed her keel, and
then disappeared"
The broadcast said the Norwegian
ships crew was rescued and later
removed from the Island by an I'M
identified Allied warship now in

CanibaIS in War
Port Moresby, New Guinea, March
| 2l.-t3 70--Native CanibalS and
headhunterS have started fierce
inter-tribal warfare in the New
Guinea jungles today, and author
/ itics described the uprisings as an
unexpected and most serious out
come of the Japanee invasion.
Fighting was said to have broken
out principally in the Sepik River
district, about 275 miles west Of the
Huon Gulf area where the jap
anese concentrated their landing
forces. The uprisings followed with
drawal of the civil administration
after Japanese planes bombed Ma
dang and other north COAST points.
1t VS. believed the Sepik valley
uprising might extend to other areas
under japanese control. The Sepik
area, virtually UNEMPLOYED by white
men, Is land of SwampS and i'm

Strangely enough the city can find
enough money for purposes much
less laudable. Yet, for the sake OF
little more than $1,000 a year the
city is branding itself as graceless,
kltnt-heated employer, which cares
nothing for the welfare Of its
workers. The catch-word Of "econ-
ony" doesn't ring at all true in a
ease like this.

How must other firemen feel?
What incentive have they to risk
, their limbs and their lives when
they feel that II they should be
injured the city government would
handle their cases as Private Cor
coran's has been handed?
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-03-21

In the case of another injured
fireman, a legislative act had to
be passed to win him full pay
while he Is totally disabled. 1t
was known before the 1941 legisla-
Iature adjourned that Private Cor
cOran was also to be permanently
disabled, but there was nothing
done by the city to secure such
legislation for him. Certainly the
other case was a worthy one, a
very worthy one, but so Is Private
COrcOran'S.
