local police department. The most common faults were defective stop lights and lack of lights at rear license plates, but examination was conducted of brakes, tires, and all other equipment.
 Although the vehicle inspection has no connection with the antici- pated investigation for non-essential driving, expected here momentarily it was reported to have put local motorists on the alert, and many cars which have been out illegally are believed to have been rushed home.
 Neither OPA ration officials nor the local police have been notified of arrival of OPA inspectors for the promised investigation on local pleasure driving, but both sources said it was expected momentarily A spokesman of the district ration office said preliminary investiga- tion may be conducted without an- nouncement to any local official and indicated Waterburians may have no warning of it's start.
 The local police are cooperating with the motor vehicle department in the special inspection and a pa trolman was assigned to stop cars for the inspectors. Owners of cars with defects were given notices to make repairs and they will be re- quired to report back to the state department.

PLANE GUNNER
 AMERICAN HERO
Yankee Keeps Firing at Germans Even After
 Bomber Breaks in Two

An American Bomber Base, Eng land, June 18-UP)-One of the wars unSung heroes is the Ameri- can gunner who kept firing at Ger man planes even after his bomber had broken in two.
 A member of the crew of another bomber on the same raid, Staff Ser geant Adolph E. Brzozowy of Tur- ners Falls. Mass, told about him today. BrZozowy watched the bat tie between American Liberators and German Wulfs over Kiel from his waist gun post in one of the LiberatorS
 T saw this Focke Wulf come heading right into another Libera- tor" BrzozoWy said. T could see his cannon flashing like rid signal lights and apparently he got hits right in the cockpit because the LiberG tor fell of on its left wing out of control.
 Just then the number three mo- tor began smoking. About this time the right waist gunner came tum- bling out and his parachute opened right under the spinning plane. For minute the ship seemed to regain control and began flying level and tried to get back into formation.
 She did not stay okay long and suddenly dropped off again. Just as she fell into spin three Focke Wulfs closed in for the kill. 'Chutes started coming out of the Lib. saw four open from the nose and two from the belly. But that tail gunner stay right where he was.
 He got the first plane dead to rights. It just blew up. The others made circait ard started in again. The tail gunner got the second one too, in the same way. The third one made a circuit and decided to try again.
 But just about that time the tail broke from the Liberator and it fell apart. The last thing I saw, even when the tail was falling by itself, was those guns still shooting" <"
 Officers at this base were study ing combat reports in an effort to ascertain who was at the guns. They are going to nominate him for a high military award.
