NEW YORK, April 24.-The Daily
News, in copyrighted story from
Washington, quotes one American
pilot who was captured in the raid
on Toxic and later executed, as
hurting defiance at japanese court
with the declaration:
Sure. we bombed your damned
town. And we'll bomb it again
Well bomb it twice and three times
I'll bomb it myself as often as God
will let me-
The story, written by Lowell

These were the gallant words

Wallace Dedicates
Colombia Monument
Pouses for Ceremonies
On His Way Home

BY the Associated Press.
BARRANQUILLA, Colombia, April
24.-Homeward bound, Vice Presi-
dent Wallace halted here yesterday
to place the first stone of monu-
ment to George Washington, after
visiting the Inter- American Meteor
illogical School at Medellin and
touring the farm regions about that
town.
Mr. Wallace left by Pan American
Airways at 7:30 am today for
Miami, where he is due this evening.
In dedicating the new monument
Mr., Wallace compared the first
American President with Simon Boil
ivar, the South American liberator,
who he said had more prophetic"
perception of the Pan-Americanism
of the future than did Washington.
I'VE need the prophetic vision and
brilliant guidance of Bolivar" he
added, but also for the solution of
the problems of peace we need the
calm determination and resolve that
were typical OF Washington
Mr. Wallace asserted "the world
always will need revolutionaries in
order to assure progress. But also
it will need men of stable character
who can guide the nation not
only in times OF conflict but in the
difficult construction period of post
war, when the flames of national
patriotism too frequently die down
and when uncontrolled private in
terests so often create chaos and
general despair"

Funufuti Taken Without d Shot
Merely by Getting There First
ElIice Occupation Completed by Marines
Guarded by Planes and Worships

Long and fiat Funafuti Island might
be suitable for an airdrome runway
extending the United Nations aerial
search and bomb radius by several
hundred miles.
Cruisers and Destroyers on Guard.
BY beating the japanese to the
Ellice Islands, the marines and the
Navy moved up as easily as the
Japanese had moved down into the
Solomons earlier in the war.
Guarded by cruisers and destroy
ers, transports slipped into the
lagoon single file without sound
except from cruisers catapulting
their planes to maintain an over
head watch
Behind the business of getting
there first lay an immense amount
of planning.
Funafuti came into sight about
dawn yesterday and landing opera
tions began in mid-morning in per-
feet weather. The transports chose
an opening in a reef and went in
one by one, churning up brown
mud as they entered the bright blue
lagoon while cruisers remained out
side steaming up and down.
Transports lowered snub- nosed
landing boats. Filled with fighting
men, equipment and supplies they
jammed their bows into the beach
while bronze -colored natives looked
on pleasantly, and from there on it
was just a task of repeating the
process until everything was un-
loaded.
Funafuti has population of
about $50 light skinned Samoan
type 'ratives and normally only one

Ger. Flyers from cur cruiser who
alighted in the lagoon said the
natives were physically excellent.
big, strong and friendly. They
started to peddle fine woven baskets
as soon as the marines hit the beach.
The work of unloading continued
all night under glowing search
lights and went ahead until mid
afternoon today when the last
transport reported she was empty
and ready to travel. Ships came
out-this time without muddying up
the entrance because without their
cargoes they were higher in the
water
A British captain reported the
discovery of Funafuti in 1919, but
neither Ellice nor the Gilberts we're
under any special jurisdiction until
the British proclaimed a protecto-

OFF ELLICE ISLANDS IN THE
SOUTH PACIFIC Delayed -
United States Marines completed
the job of moving into the Ellice
Islands a few minutes ago without
firing a shot.
1t was simply a case of getting
there first" They arrived yester.
day morning and met no opposition
whatever in planting themselves ir
the midst of this group of tiny
coral isles astride the international
dateline, just south of the Equator
and on the south flank Of the
Japanese-held Gilbert Islands.
GA Navy communique in Wash
ington yesterday disclosed that
the United States had occupied
Funafuti in the Ellice Island
group and that enemy bombers
had raided it April %. Secretary
Knox told press conference
We've been there for some time
and we've got an establishment
there" but he refused to dis
Close fthe time of occupation or
th~ nature of the establishment.
". Knox said the Funafuti base
dad the same value as other
island bases guarding the line of
communications to Australia, but
noted that it was much nearer
the scene of active operations
than some)
The Ellice group is $50 miles
northwest of Pago Pago in Samoa
and SIS miles north of Suva in
the Fiji Islands.
Only Soft Music Lacking.
When the landing was over and
our warships left the atolls-sink-
ing beyond the horizon, as they
say in the movies-the whole thing
had more the aspects of a travelogue
in color than an act of war. The
only things missing were soft strains
of South Sea music, waving palms
and an announcer's voice taking a
reluctant" farewell.
But Americans ashore, in for a
rough time at best, had no time to
ponder such soft idyls The Jap
anese were only about 500 miles
away in the Gilberts and the marines
were busy preparing a reception for
any attempt to dispute their occu-
patton.
The marines went ashore on
Funafuti, low strip of palm covered
land shaped like a boomerang. 5
miles long and 1s of mile across
at the crook, which is the widest
part. Funafuti is the biggest of 80
islets forming the Funafuti atoll,
which is the best of nine that make
up the Ellice group.
The F'unafuti atoll incloses a fine
lagoon where seaplanes can be based.

RICHMOND, Va.- Sept. 3.-Vir-
ginias l943 football prospects re-
ceived blow today with the an
nouncement that Herb Munhall,

NEW LONDON, Conn, Sept. s.
The l943 national AAU mems out
door swimming meet, opening here
today, well may be remembered for
the men who didn't take part in it.
Records usually fall like tenpins

champions were on hand to defend
the titles they won here last year

Membership in the armed services.
or other wartime causes, prevented
the champions from coming. Chief
among the absentees was the crack
Ohio State team, including the Ha-
waiian duo of Bill Smith, who holds
the 220, 44o and 8so-yard fresstyle
crowns, and Kiyoski Nakama, the
mile king.
On hand, however, were Alan
Ford, the Balboa Barracuda from
Yale, who figures to keep his no.
yard freestyle title, as we'll as pick
up some of those vacated by Smith,
and Adolph Kiefer, the Chicago vet

NEW YORK, Sept. Snow that
Bronko Nagurski has decided to
try a comeback with the Chicago
Bears in the National Football
League, it may be that Ken Strong
also may come out of retirement.
Strong, who rose to fame at New
York University in 1926. '27 and '2s,
and later with the professional New
York Giants, was one of the great
est triple threats ever to trot on a
gridiron.
While Strong declines comment,
his friends say that Steve Owen,
coach. of the Giants, has been try
ing to get the former Violet flash
back into uniform, if only as an ex-
pert kicker.
Strong, now 81, retired some three
years ago. A resident of suburban
Bayside on Long Island, Strong has
kept himself in good shape.
