Disappearance of horses AND
mules from American farms in 20
years has taken away the capacity

acres. This is more than the entire
farm acreage of Iowa and Missouri
combined, and would be sufficient to
feed $4,000, 900 human population.

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii. June
25.-When marines get hit by Jap
anese bullets they don't get fright
ened. they get fighting mad.
That was the reaction of marines,
wounded in the battle of Midway,
with whom I talked and whose
stories now are released.
In addition to being wounded,
Pvt. First Class Gordon Merely,
q, of Oakland, Calf. spent more
than 40 hours adrift in a partially
collapsed boat, but he is fit again
and anxious for more action.
Pvt. Merely was tail gunner in
q dive bomber piloted by Capt.
Richard Blain Of Miami. Fla.
Pvt. Merely. a fighting Irish
man, told of being in a formation
OF planes which ran a gantlet of
heavy anti-aircraft fire to attack
the Japs' invading fleet.
I'VE were being bounced back and
forth by anti-aircraft fire and just
as we leveled off I felt the plane
lurch strongly" he related. Capt
Blain brought her back on her
course. l saw our bomb hit as he
pulled up. 1t just grazed a carrier
and must have damaged her plates
badly.
The plane Immediately behind
us scored a direct hit on the car
riers' superstructure, which simply
disintegrated into smashed metal
and Dlack smoke. If there were any
Jap admirals on the superstructure
they weren't there after that.
1--WE were below the level Of the
carriers deck and I could see every
thing. including a flock of Zeros
which pounced as soon as We got out
of range Of the carriers ack-ack.
Our gas line was hit and the
engine faltered but Capt. Blain
worked the wobble pump and
nursed it along. We were all alone
except for eight Zeros and I kind
of had my hands full. I managed
to riddle three of them but can't
claim them officially because I did
not see them crash.
Il was feeling pretty good about
this time and enjoying the fight.
The Zeros weren't coming too close
and these pilots at least weren't
