on the floor, pulled him out while
Gen. Doolittle, his foopy flyers cap
cooked tighter around his head,
climbed in and took the co-pilot's
place.
The last German plane turned in,
made half-hearted attack and
turned away.
If those Germans had known we
had the commanding general of the
18th Air Force aboard they damn
well would have stuck around or
maybe the Fortress was just too
much for them" one officer said.
Gen. Doolittle, with 1t. Summers,
whose flying skill played a large
part in the battle, flew the plane to
its destinati and the co-pilot was
taken to hospital.
In few minutes after his arrival
the leader of the Toxic raid was at

what big game they were stalking,
Brig. Gen. James H. Doolittle, chief
OF the 18th Air Force, is con-

of lying dead
Gen. Doolittle and II staff officers
were attacked by four enemy planes.
The co-pilot was wounded in run

took his place in the fighting ship.
This is the story of how the Short
handed young Fortress crew, led
by Pilot 1t. John c. Summers of
Lexington, Tenn, saved Gen. Doo-
little and his staff officers, some
of whom did not know they had

The Fortress flew a few feet
above water most of the time and it
was shorthanded because of the
large number of officers aboard.
When the four enemy planes were
sighted the crew jumped to their

the bomb bay were unaware of the
approach of the planes
The pilot turned and the enemy
gave chase.
Just skimming the waves, the
Fortress was not at its best opera

the enemy took position above,
ready to peel off on the speeding
plane, whose guns now were spit

He said Treasury request for
billions more-as contemplated by
Secretary Morgenthau-would force
consideration of sales tax "along
with an enforced savings plan"
Both proposals were considered and
rejected by the committee this year.

suggestion by Senator Vandenberg,
