sWe climbed 10 intercept the
raiders and did intercept them" 1t
Mrehead said. MY flight and an
other flight from the same squadron
Just jumped right into the japanese
formations.
The japanese were In a tight
formation with "a planes flying In
three echelons OF nine. eight. and
seven. respectively. I got the leader
Of the echelon of nine and two out
OF the right echelon OF seven planes.
Two other pilots of my flight got
two apiece and another Of my flight
got one. The other flight from my
squadron was intercepted by zeros
Japanese fighter planes.
Saw japanese Jump.
"The zeros didn't do 10 well. for
our boys got three Of them.
II saw Japanese bomber crews
Jump but I did not see II they had
parachutes. One japanese pilot was
seen swimming near his crashed
plane"
The air battle took place high
over the sea and lasted only few
minutes. with the Americans suffer-
ing only slight damage and no
losses.
In addition to the eight enemy
bombers downed, one more prob
ably was destroyed.
One American fighter pilot poured
bullets into a Zero, which disinte-
grated In the air, showering the
Arperican plane with wreckage.
Another American pilot made an
emergency landing and radioed an
SOS" to the base:
Down okay with a broke oil line.
Send mechanic with tools. II no
mechanic handy send tools and I
will do Job myself. p, s. I got one"
Americans Got All But One.
All but one of q total Of IL Jap
apese planes downed we're credited
To members of the American squad
ron. whose members three weeks
previously had sworn to go unshaven
until they shot down one Japanese.
The victorious pilots were cere-
n1pniously de-bearded Saturday
night.
The raid was the first on Darwin
since April S, the l4th since the
war began, and the heaviest since
sae original raid February 10, when
the Japanese used 93 bombers.
The renewal of Japanese cir at
tacks on Northern Australia indi-
Gated that while Allied raids on
Japanese bases undoubtedly caused
severe damage, they were insult
ficient to prevent the Japanese from
receiving aerial reinforcements.

vICHY. April 27.--Gaston Henry
Haye, Vichy Ambassador to the
United States, was under orders
from his government today to pro-
vest at Washington the landing Of
United States troops on New Gale
donia.
A communique yesterday an
nouncing the decision to protest
contended that although forces of
Gen. Charles de Gaulle took over
the Pacific island In September,
l940, the De Gaullists have no
right to speak In the name Of
France"
The already expressed policy of
the United States Is expected by
observers to be the reply to the
protest of Vichy against the land
ing of American troops on the Pa
cific island of New Caledonia.
Sumner Welles, acting as Secre-
tary of State, on April IA told the
vichy government that until the
United Nations won the war the
United States would continue with
regard to French territories In
Africa or in the Pacific areas, to
maintain, or to enter into relations
with those French citizens who are
In actual control Of such territories. y
The Free French are In control
of New Caledonia and the prelimi-
naries for the actual entrance of
American troops to help defend that
island we're conducted through dip
lomatic exchanges between the gov
ernor of the island and the United
States.

Unannounced daylight alerts and

cording to Col. Henry S. Barrett,
State director of Air aid Precau-
lions.
The number of drills and the
length of each test to be held was
not revealed by Colonel Barrett. mo
exemptions will be allowed, he
said, Except those specifically or
dered by the Third Service Com
mand".
cit is the desire of the Maryland

tual air raid conditions as nearly as
possible, Colonel Barrett stated $50
that people will become accustomed
to taking the proper action when the
warning sounds.

OVERLAPPING AND PASSING
VEHICLES

Overtaking and passing vehicles
without violating the wartime 35-
mile speed limit will require skill
full handling of the car, and caution
should be exercised at all times, Mr..
L. e. Kolmer, General Manager of
the Branch of the Automobile Club
of Maryland, declared today.
The new low speed limit went
into effect on October 1, through an
order of the Office of Defense Trans
portation, and is an important ele-
ment in the Governments tire re-
Punishment program designed to
keep all cars in operation until ade-
quate supplies of synthetic rubber
become available.
Passing car without going
over the 35-mile limit is quite a diff
ferent thing from passing with an
open throttle and maximum accel-
Grafton, Mr. Kolmer pointed out.
ION the average it will take about
twice as much distance and twice
as much time as under normal Con-
ditions.
"a good rule to follow is: don't
pass unless the vehicle ahead is
going 80 m.p.h. or less, and then
pass only when the assured safe
distance ahead is twice as long as
usual"

still tight" along the East Coast

Worlds Record Cow
At Dunloggin

There has been no Army or Navy
or any other official recognition from
Washington or elsewhere for the
great job they are doing at Dunlog-
gin Farm, Ellicott City, Maryland,
producing milk for workers in the
Baltimore milk shed. 1t makes no
difference however because not even
the management of this great breed
ing establishment have been doing
much talking about the phenomenal
records they have recently been
making. They have been spending
their time keeping their large herd
of great Holstein cows at top pro-
duction.
1t was recently announced by the
Holstein-Friesian Association of
America that Dunloggin Happy
Mistress, a daughter of the great
sire Woodmaster, has just completed
a worlds production record for cows
MIXED three times daily. This is the
story --Dunloggin Happy Mistress
produced 31,9O14 lbs. of milk,
1855 lbs. of butterfat. The highest
amount of milk produced and the
second highest fat production for
any COW in the world MIXED three
times daily. According to the Dun
loggin management she is the only
COW in the world that has ever pro-
duced 1866 lbs. of fat from
-31,901.4 lbs. of milk in class OBJ"
or mature cows MIXED three times
daily. She is also the highest record
Holstein cow in class "B" owned,
bred and developed by the same
breeder.
Dunloggin Happy Mistress is one
of the great foundation cows at
Dunloggin. She is not overly large
for a Holstein but rather on the
medium size, but has all of the quail
tiles possessed by great dairy cows.
After a record breaking lactation
her udder is sound in every respect
and still has many years of useful
production.
She is the kind that is producing
those extra pounds of milk needed
to meet the rising market demands
in this section because of the ex-
pansion of war industries.

JUDGE OF ORPHANS COURT
USE LEAD-FREE GASOLINE IN
YOUR STOVE

The Maryland State Department
of Health has found many instances
where gasoline containing lead
(tetraethyD is being used for fuel
in gasoline stoves. DR.. r. H. Riley,
Director of the Department, there
fore warns the public that there is
great danger in using such gasoline
for stoves.
Gasoline containing lead is for
automobiles only" DR.. Riley says.
Never use it in stoves, because the
fumes contain lead which may
cause fatal lead poisoning, especial
ly in children. These fumes get into
the air, into the food, and on the
pots and pans. The lead will also
clog the stove.
Loaded gasoline is being used be-
cause the shortage of gasoline has
made the lead-free type difficult to
obtain. So that people needing gaso.
line for stoves will not endange1
their health or lives and develop
lead poisoning by using loaded gaso-
line, the State Department of Health
has met with the oil companies and
an effort is being made to supply
lead-free gasoline in the areas where
it is needed.
Here are some ways of being
sure that you get the proper gaso-
line:
Consult the manager of your
camp for information as to where
lead-free gasoline can be purchased
Gasoline that is lead-free will
have notice on the pump or con-
tainer stating that it is lead-free and
can be used in stoves.
You can always tell when gasoline
contains lead, because the pump has
a small metal warning plate on il
which says, For Use AS A Motor
Fuel Only, Contains Lead (Tetra-
ethyl)'.,
eff you cannot obtain lead-free
gasoline, buy none", DIR. Riley
warns Keep on looking until you
find lead-free gasoline or do without
fuel for your stove, but don't take
any chances with gasoline contain
ing lead. The danger is too great to
risk.
