Five of the Marshall Island group were att tackled in the surprise raid and Maxim, in the Gilbert Island group, was also raided. Gilbert Islands were formerly British but were taken over by the Japanese early in the war in December.
 The Sunday attack was the first time that American bombs have fallen on Japanese territory.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-24
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America'S Card Authority

Several years ago the Pocono Tournament was inaugurated at Buckwood Inn, located at Shawnee on-Deleware, a few miles from Delaware Water Gap. At that time a great many Life Masters turned out, and now each year this tourna- ment has one of the strongest fields in the country.
 This year Il Life Masters and more than 40 National Masters participated but big shots in bridge meant nothing to Pvt. Melvin Lobell and Mrs. E. M. Goddard who won the mixed pair event.
 Todays hand helped our soldier boy win the tournament. With the South cards he played three no trump. The opening lead brought out the jack and queen Of spades. East exited with a heart though a club lead would have caused the de- clarer more trouble. Dummy won with the jack of hearts and led a diamond to the king. Lobell now led 8 diamond toward dummy and when West played low, the eight was put on. The object of this play was to be sure of four diamond tricks. Declarer could afford to lose 8 trick in the suit, provided that East won it instead of West.
 Lobell was rewarded for his care when the duck turned out to be a winning and very necessary f1nesse. He cashed four no trump, while the contract of three was lost at other tables because declarer as- stunned the diamonds to be solid.
