More Surprises for Both
Japan, Germany Declares
Raidinq Hero Of Alaska

WASHINGTON, May 2l-Brigad-
Ter General Jimmy Doolittle, who
led the raid on Tokyo and other
Japanese cities several weeks ago,
promised in broadcast last night
that there are many more sur
prises for both Japan and Ger
many"
Doolittle's background shows that
Alaska is entitled to part OF the
claim to the hero of the raid. The
War Department record shows that
he was either born at Nome, Al
aska. and left there when eight
years of age, or was taken to Nome
by his parents during the gold rush
at the age of three years, started
school there and returned to San
Francisco five years later.
The War Department thus falls
to support the suspicion held al
Anchorage that Doolittle might
have been a fireman by the same
name on the Alaska Railroad II
1920 on Army duty there or was
on the Copper River and North
western Railroad.
