Raj Batiers

industrial Bases

LONDON, March 9-(R-The
Raj hammered at Essen, the
home of Germany's great Krupp
munitions works, last night,
keeping up a 'round-the-clock
schedule of air blows at indus
trial centers behind the German
lines. the air ministry announced
today.
Essen, to which the Raj
was returning for the first time
since last Nov. 8 and 8 when
the Krupps works also were
heavily bombed, was the chief
target of night raiders which
spread over the industrial Ruhr
district. Nazi air fields in Occu-
pied Holland and France and
docks at Ostend an LeHavre also
were bombed.
Eight British bombers failed
to return.
The assault followed a day
light raid on the Matford plant
at Poissy yesterday--the second
Raj assault in six days on fac
tories in the Paris area supply
ing the Nazi war machine-and
was described as ION much the
same scale" as the heavy
pounding of the Renault works
near Paris last Tuesday night.
Elan es squirting SO high that
Iow-flying British filters could
look up at them were left by the
Raj at the Matford plant.

General Homma had committed

que said, "the Japanese Generals
suicide was motivated by the fact
that his numerically superior
forces had been unable to des-
troy the American and Philip

Corregidor.
BURIED FEB. 26
The funeral rites of the late
Japanese commander, these re-

in Manila and were attended by
personal representatives of EN-
peror Hirohito, after which Gen:
eral Homma's ashes were flown
to Japan for interment.
can interesting and ironic de-
tail of the story is that the sui
eide and funeral rites occurred
in the suite at the Manila hotel
occupied by General Macarthur
prior to the evacuation of Ma
Mia"
In the same report, Macarthur
told how American artillery in
hidden positions inflicted heavy
casualties on a Japanes regiment
en- route to the Bataan front. The
regiment, some $500 strong, was
moving up in caravan of 90
trucks when the American bat
tries opened up. Macarthur said
20 of the enemy trucks and most
of their occupants were destroy
ed indicating casualties of 700
or more.

be skinned from an ever more
precarious crime problem.
Since the outbreak Of the
war Dec. 7, even more and deep
ly serious problems have arisen
to confront the sheriffs office.
Macomb county's vast network
of vital defense production
plants require unending atten-
ton, and Civilian Defense activi-
ties could well keep one deputy
sheriff occupied full time.
ACT PROMPTLY
Immediately following the
opening of hostilities q patriotic
board of supervisors promptly
honored request by Army and
Navy officials that the sheriff aid
in patrolling vital South Macomb
areas. Eight men were added to
the sheriffs staff for that express
purpose.
Since Dec. 7 the special de-
Tense unit of the Sheriffs Office
has carried out 24-hour patrols
of the affected areas; it has
made countless arrests, investi-
cations and reports which have
proved invaluable in these criti-
cal times.
EYE EXPENSES
Tomorrow the board Of super
visors, meeting again in Mount
Clemens, is expected to consider
abolition of that patrol on the
grounds that 1.-The government
should foot the bill"

parently-isn't to hopeful that
the board will continue to pro-
vide him with the estimated $16,-

cight-man patrol would require.
The sheriff does entertain
hopes, however, that the board
will see its way clear toward
supplying him with three regular
deputies for use in routine In

mcndations Of its special sheriffs

been patrolling the broad reach
es of the blue Pacific but this
was her baptism of fire. She
came through m a c ally,
launching more planes in the

away with her own guns in

There was one breath-taking
moment-when a Japanese tried

the stern of the carriers big flat
deck. AS the staggering raider
glided in cracking with flames
started by an attack by our own
fighters. the carrier held her
fire until the right instant. Then
her guns dashed out with a sheet
Of flame and steel.
The bomber fluttered like a
stricken bird, turned on its side
and shuddered into the sea.
1t would be hard to imagine
more fascinating sight.
BY this time bombs were fall
ing all around us, sending up
geysers Of warm spray in the
tropical sunlight. The metallic
blast of the anti-aircraft guns
were almost deafening but every
man on our swaying director
platform sang out with loud q
long cheers. The carrier steamed
on. ready for the next one.
More bombs came down and l
made a silent prayer: God be

VICTIMS FALL
Minutes before, several hun
dred yards away, we had seen
the first two victims of our fight
ers fall. They were knocked out
of their formation, like ducks in
a shooting gallery, as the fight
ers swept down on them. They
strcaked the sky with red and
left great columns of flame ris-
ing from the sea. 1t was surpris-
ing how long the fires lasted.
Those babies must have carried
a lot Of gasoline.
That was this afternoon. The
prelude to the battle sounded
this morning when our patrol
planes shot down two big four
motored Japanese scouts the
only ones they could find.

With my shirt tail flapping in

post above the bridge. The ex-
ecutive officer yelled:

Fluffy white cumulus clouds
were all around the horizon and
overhead. The enemy formation
was in plain sight. Then our
fighters bolted out of the clouds
above them. The fight was on.
Surprising soon - it seemed
less than minute-the first
bomber came plunging down,
trailing stream of fire. While
a red column still stood over the
spot where he hit the water,
another one dropped like gan

to plant his inferno on the deck

Directly ahead of us a para
chute opened. 1t was one of our
pilots. Our destroyer got a call
to pick him up. We aimed our
nose at the orange lifejacket and
tossed out lines. The smile on
that pilots face was a thing to
remember. He said later he was

us a breath taking moment of
