MEETS FOE ALONE
O'Hare took to the air with but
one teammate and when the lat
ter discovered his guns were not
working right, O'Hare was left
to meet the oncoming enemy
planes.
They were about II miles
from the carrier and coming
straight for it, so there wasn't
much to do but get n there and
shoot it out with them" O'Harc
explained quietly. He avoided
using the word "I'.
In our first pass at them two
were hit and dropped out. One
of them had a badly smoking
engine and we had no time to
see what was happening to the
other.
Then we would just shoot at
one and he would fall away and
then we would make pass at
the next one
Commander Thach interposed
here that they were falling like
flies. There were three falling
at one time"
O'Harc grinncd, hcsitatcd, and
continued:
SIMPLE PROCESS
The first two TO fall were al

just started up the line for the
rest of them. When they would
get knock e d out the others
would close into formation. Four
of them got right over the carri-
crs and VIC made a pass at these
The leader and his wing man
were hit then. And by that time
Commander Thach and others
were up there giving us sup

And that is about all O'Harc
would say.
He had Knocked down five

credit for At least one of them
None of tho wave OF enemy

What did you and the other
pilots do when you returned to

AS result, Japans New
Guinea forces now were center
ed at Lac, Salamaua and Finsch-
haven on the coast, where they
landed March 8 and succeeding
days. Their greatest penetration
of the valley had been to Mad
zab, q miles inland.
Moreover, the dispatches said,
the wet season in New Guinea
is just beginning.
AS result, Japan's painful
occupation of the valley has
been made a fruitless accom-
plishment.
Drakeford said 1.-The American
and Raj attacks on Lac March
10 and since have probably Grip
pied more than 10 per cent of
the total cruiser strength with
which the Japanese entered the
war"
(This meant that four or five
cruisers had been destroyed or
put out of action, since Japan is
estimated to have had 40 or SO
cruisers to begin with. In addi-
ton she has lost numerous
cruisers in the Netherlands East
Indies, off Wake Island and in
other war theaters.)
BOMBERS DOWNED
In addition to the 48 japanese
bombers and fighters destroyed
or probably destroyed over Aus
tralia and surrounding islands in
recent weeks, Drakeford said at
least Is others had been dam
aged.
Previous estimates have
placed Japan's losses around the
Australian islands at upwards
of so ships, including transport
and cargo vessels, and thou
sands of men.

ThOmastOn Politicians Are Termed Crafty and Self.
 Seeking By Ryan

Thomaston, Nov. 9-Edward M Ryan announced today that all plans have been completed to peti- tion Superior Court for a declaratory judgment on the question of the original motion adopted at the an nual town meeting, to create sink ing fund of $6,000 annually for a sewage system not in existence.
 The judgment will be sought with in few days MT. Ryan said.
 MT. Ryan claims the motion was Illegal and added the town counsel has refused to give Q ruling on the legality of the sinking fund motion,
 MT, Ryan said" all together too long has a handful of crafty, self seeking politicians ruled or ruined the town of ThomaSton. I predict the Superior court will decide in our favor but even more important predict this court action is only the first step in bringing to the light many questions which have remain ed unanswered for years, There are numerous questions 1 want to ask about the manner in which the af- fairs of the town have been conduct ed.
 Judge Baldwin of Superior Court In Q recent decision in New London held 1t was illegal for any town to create surplus for any remote pur- pose.
 Attorney General Francis A. Pal lotti has also held 1t is illegal for any town or municipality to create sinking fund except where such sinking fund is to pay an indebted ness.
 Said Mr. Ryan 1T personally hand ed this Information from the at- torney general to first seleotman F, R. Kaiser who In turn showed 1t to the town counselor.
 "These self seeking politicians who are the self same persons who cry for just punishment whenever one of our citizens violate the law are the exact people who maliciously violated q state law in this case and remain smugly in their so called knowledge that nothing will, as In the past, be done about questioning their law breaking,
