PLANS READY
Referring to the 400-passenger
craft, Major Fleet, in a broad
cast here (CBS) said aircraft
engineers have planned this
greater airplane to the point
where our industry could begin
its production"
"As bombers, he asserted,
"they could make nonstop trips
to Europe and return. AS sky
freighters they could take heavy
loads of supplies and arms to
overseas troops and carry goods
to our Allies where sea traffic
is too hazardous.
Liberator Bombers, now in
mass production, could carry
100000 men overseas in a
month"
"And special Liberator fuse
lagos could almost treble that"
he concluded.

From Calcutta, he worked at
one cent month to cover insur-
ance for passage on an old
freighter which promptly suf-
fered two-day breakdown in
the Bay of Bengal while Japan
csc bomberS had a-field- day
around them and torpedoes ex-
ploded in the near vicinity. The
freighter was stranded with en-
CINE trouble for q days in Dur
ban, Africa, but no attacks were
made.
He was in Rangoon last Christ
mas during four bombings, drove
trucks of ammunition up the en-
tire length of the Burma road
with Japanese bomberS dropping
eggs above. and scrambled out
of his station wagon somewhere
in China with only few sec
onds before it was blown to bits.
Luck seems to have come his
way in all his narrowing eX-
periences because he has never
been sick or wounded. Hardships
are not foreign to him, how
ever, for he has slept consecu-
tive nights in an ammunition
truck on the Burma road and
has had to live on starvation ra-
tons.
Four days after the Christmas
day bombing of Rangoon, the
Flying Tigers were honored at a
dinner party given by General
issimo and Madame Thiank Kai-
shek. Each Tiger was presented
with a silk scarf bearing the

Moneuvers Prove

BY WILLIAM F. BONI

bI WILLIAM r. DONl
WITH SIXTH ARMY CORPS
ON CAROLINA MANEUVERS,
Aug. 7 - (Ao - Now that the
troops on wartime manuevers
have gone into welcomed
three-day rest period before
.plunging into the next problem,
there is proof in plenty of the
value Of these exercises in de-
veloping quick thinking and ini-
tiative in men who soon may
need it in actual combat.
This correspondents favorite
story concerns sergeant--Staff
Sgt. George w. Romer of Hemp
stead, N. Y, % years old and in
the service since January, l941.
Leading a reconnaissance pla-
toon of a tank destroyer battal-
ion, lie suddenly found himself in
cul-de-sac, lines of advance and
retreat cut off by Blue troops.
The sergeant ordered his scout
car, four jeeps and 10 men off
the Dad into an adjoining creek
bed, where there was good cover.
He sent one of his men into tall
pine tree to build an observation
platform. From it the observers
glued their eyes on crosSroad
$50 yards ahead, where the Blues
had set up two 37-mm. guns in
the front yard of farmhouse.
The relay of observers kept
careful tally of the vehicles
which passed. They counted the
numbers of men in each troop
carrier and noted the caliber of
each gun which went by. The in
formation was relayed to their
company headquarters by radio.
The platoon needed fresh
drinking water. The sergeant de-
tailed two of his men to sneak
through a cornfield back of a
farmhouse. With the Blues man.
ming their guns i'm front of the
house, the Reds drew water from
we'll in the rear. Finally this
little detachment had the effront-
cry to send two scouts crawling
under the front porch, where
they could listen in on the Blue
gunners' conversation.
For 20 hours the platoon stuck
to its hiding place. 1t was dis
covered and captured by sheer
accident - because Red troop
err, after bathing in the stream,
left his towel on a bush and a
blue trooper, coming down for
the same purpose, found it. But
by then Sergeant Romer's radio
had sent in q messages packed
with needed information.

WIDE STRATEGY
The M scoW consultations
were interpreted in London as
an effort to give fuller recogni-
ton to the indispensable part
being played by the weary but
unbeaten Soviet legions in the
worldwide strategy of the Unit
ed Nations.
There was little doubt in Lon
don that wherever and when
ever Allied leaders gather these
days their deliberations are CEN
tered on what Anthony Eden,
British foreign secretary, called
at one tine in the Anglo-Rus-
sian treaty negotiations 1.-The
urgent task of creating a sec
ond front in 1912"
In the background Of the
United Nations talks were re-
ported warnings from Allied
quarters that Japan intends to
knife Russia soon in the Far
East.
These warnings were reiter-
ated today by Dr. George Yeh,
London director of the Chinese
Ministry of Information, who
said the Japanese appeared to
have deployed their forces on
the Russian frontier both for at
tack and for G Tense against
Chinese-Soviet flank ing at
tempts.
DR.. Yeh said that more Jap
anese troops were moving north
to reinforce upwards of half a
million already reported there
and that 1000 Japanese planes
had been concentrated in the
northeast.

Raj Bombers
Rock Duisburq
Heovy British Force
Strikes Again

LONDON, Aug. 7-lRl-A
strong force Of Raj bombers last
night attacked the big German
industrial center of DuiSburg,
target of repeated raids in July,
and other points i'm the Ruhr
valley, the Air Ministry am
nounced today.
Nazi airdromcS in the low
countries also were attacked by
British raiders, six of which fail
ed TO return from their night
missions, a communique said.
HEAVY RAID
The size of the strong force
was not disclosed officially but
a British source said that in the
days before the British hurled
more than 1000 bombers against
Germany in a single night, last
nights total would have been
considered "a whopper."
Duisburg, an important COM
municationS center at the june
ton of the Ruhr and Rhine
rivers as well as the site of many
vital war industries, was last
bombed by the Raj on the night
of July 25-the fourth attack on
the city in six nights.
Last nights foray was the
third successive night assault on
the Ruhr region.
German raiders ALSO were busy
over Britain again during the
night. dropping high explosives
and incendiaries including a
new-type phosphorus fire bomb
at scattered points in East
Anglia and on the east coast of
Scotland.
LIGHT NAZI STATES
The raids were not on heavy
scale, however, and although
there were some casualties first
reports indicated the number was
not large.
. Britons had been prepared for
the new phosphorus bombs by
bulletin from the Ministry of
Home Security, which gave ex-
plicit instructions for dealing
with these incendiaries AS a re-
suit fires which were started
were extinguished with mini
mum Of damage.
In one southwest coast town
the Nazi raiders demolished a
section of hospital, causing
several fatalities and trapping a
number of patients in the debris.
A coastal. resort, crowded with
vacationers, was attacked by
single low-flying plane which
sprayed the streets with ma
chinegun fire. Several persons
were injured.
PLANES OVER LONDON
A few planes were heard over
London during the night and
searchlights fingered the sky,
but no alert was sounded and
there was no gunfire.
Apparently the planes were
British aircraft, continuing a
test Of the capitals strengthened
defenses. The test was begun
Wednesday night, when Raj
bombers and fighters swept over
the city single and in mass for
nation, lodging and twisting in
an effort to escape searchlight
beams.
