Reported Missinq in Action

Kelly also is a German prisoner.
The letter follows, in part:
I'VE took off for the interior of
fighters started in on us and didn't
relax until we reached the target
area. They let up momentarily
while we hit the, AA barrage. I've
seen flax, but that was the worst
stuff I've ever seen.
"We dropped our bombs and I
was relieved to see them explode
all over the target. = AS we start
ed for home, we met hundreds of
fighters milling around like hive
of bees after they have been stirred
up.
Naturally, after hitting the flax,
quite few ships had engine trou-

of attack because most of them were
tagging behind. I saw Johnny cit.
John Kelly) go down in flames. Sew
eral chutes came out, then the en-
tire ship disintegrated. That
made me SO damned mad that 1
just blasted away.
Meanwhile, we were under con-
slant attack. One engine was out
of commission and another going.
AS we passed over the coast,
our second engine cut out and we
started down. The inevitable
finally happened and we hit the
North Sea. An hour and so
minutes later we were sitting in a
boat heading for England. No one
was hurt badly, just shaken up a

Two weeks ago, Mr.. and Mrs. H
Windsor Adams, 4704 West Virginia
avenue, Bethesda, were notified by
the War Department that theil
son, 1t. Dorsey Adams, a bombardiel
with the 9th Air Force in England
was missing in action.
Despite the notice, however, Mr.
and Mrs. Adams were sure that their
son was safe somewhere They re-
called that he had been reported
missing once before when his plane
failed to return from a mission
Later he was picked up in the North
Sea and was awarded the Air Medal
Their optimism again was justi-
fled when they received notice
this week from the American Red
Cross that 1t. Adams is in a German
prison camp.
A graduate of Bethesda Chevy
Chase High School, It. Adams at
tended the University of North Car
olina for a year before he enlisted
in the Air Forces. In June, Just
after completing his training in Cali
ornia, he married a former high
school classmate, Miss Kathleen
Molohon.
How his plane was shot down
over the North Sea after the earlier
raid over Germay is described in a
letter ritten July 26 by 1t. Adams
to his wife.
During the raid. 1t. Adams saw
the plane of 1t. John Kelly, best
man at his wedding, 60 down in
flames. 1t later was learned that 1t.

Issuance Of A Cards
Is Slow in Alexandra

Only about 1000 A gasoline cards
were issued in Alexandria Friday.
according to James Douglas. execu-
tive secretary of the ration board
Mr.. Douglas said he found the
number disappointingly small. and
he fears the board will be faced
with the task of issuing many cards
which will be applied for at the
last minute. Applicants have been
warned that the board will do the
work in its spare time and that
there will be some delay in mailing
back the books.
There is no way of determining
the actual number of books issued,
Mr.. Douglas said since the Trans
portation Committees of the Torpedo
Station. the Pentagon and the Navy
annex, issued books to their en-
ployes regardless of where they live.

Fairfax Plans Addition
To School Facilities
Al Fort BeIvoir

The Fairfax County School Board
Is studying the problem of estab-
fishing additional school facilities
at Fort Belvoir to take care of the
overflow of pupils expected in that
area about January /, due to the in
f1uX of families engaged in war
work there.
While it may be possible to house
the additional white pupils in the
present school building, there are
no school facilities on the post now
for colored pupils, and large num-
Der are expected.
Fort Belvoir authorities have in
| dicated that it may be possible to
find suitable clasSrooms in some OF
| the buildings on the post for the
colored pupils. The School Board
indicated it probably will take ad-
vantage of this offer, as no funds
are available for construction.
Bus Service Planned.
The board has named w. Alvord
Sherman, school trustee from Provi-
denCe district, to work out plans
to furnish bus transportation to
colored pupils attending the schools
at Vienna and OderickS The trans
portation was requested by COM
mittee which appeared before the
board this week.
The board announces the appoint
ment of Mrs. Katherine D. Hill and
Mrs. Mabel U. Chapman as teach
ers at Fairfax High School, and the
transfer of Miss Emily Mills from
Mount Vernon High School to Fair
fax High School
Sale of two old school buses and
| a truck at auction last week have
been approved b. the board, but
permission to sell two other school,
| buses was deferred.

The Penn Daw Volunteer Fire De-
partment has received its new en-
glne from the county, the apparatus
