San Diego, Calf, March 19. -
Over-cOnfidence Of japanese Zero
pilots in both their own abilities
and those of their planes is quite
evident. according to Ii. Lawrence
NJ. Faulkner, a Marine Corps pilot
of Pleasant Hill, Mo, who has just
returned to the United States from
the Sol0mOns battle area.
Records of air battles in the
Southwest Pacific indicate that
many Jap pilots learned their les
sons too late 1t Faulkner relates.
The Jap Zero pilot is the bright
boy Of enemy aviation" says Lit.
Faulkner. They are cocky to a
fault because they apparently be
lieve their planes are more maneu
verable than ours.
What they fail to take into con-
sideration is that Wildcat will
absorb twice as much punishment
as a Zero and still be in the air
when the enemy plane is in flames. y
1t. Faulkner was one of Colonel
Bauer's boys" - one of % Marine
Corps pilots who established the
enviable record of downing 80 en-
emy planes in air fights in the
Guadalcanal area with the loss of
three pilots. They also destroyed
ten beached enemy seaplanes at
Guadalcanal and were credited
with sinking two enemy destroyers.
Flying a Gruman Wildcat fighter
1t. Faulkner was in action until
ordered back to this country for a
well-earned rest. He accounted
for two enemy bombers, fighter,
and aided a fellow pilot in sinking

Says Returned Marine Flyer

one of the two Japanese destoyers
credited to his squadron.
I'VE were glad" 1t. Faulkner
reports, to have Wildcats when
the enemy got on our tails.
I'VE would just maneuver as best
we could in our sturdier planes and
wait until we got the Jap lined up
and send him doWn-often with a
single burst Of our guns
1t. Faulkner declared that Jap
pilots will bail out of a burning
plane.
They will bail out of Zero
and quickly, too-when she starts
burning he said
The Leatherneck pilot, however,
stated that he had not seen a pilot
or crew-member of a enemy bomb
er bail out.
THAT may be because they do
not have parachutes, reports 1t
Faulkner I'VE have never found
a parachute in an enemy bomber
that was shot down, to my know
ledge"
He pointed out that knocking
Zeros from the skies is a simple
matter as compared to strafng
surface vessels.
"The dive-bomber pilots are the
men who deserve a lot of credit y
the fighter pilot declares. THE
ack-ack fire from enemy ships is
fierce and it takes a lot of cool
nerves to dive into it loaded with
bombs"
The fighter planes, he added, are
frequently in position to aid dive
bombers by strafing the ship and
drawing part of the anti aircraft
fire.

Let's see what was going on in
Hagerstown half a century ago:
Mayor Reinhold ]. Hahn. in or
ganizing his corps of assistants in
the management of municipal af-
fairs, reappOinted his former aides
and submitted a lengthy paper on

town and its advantages. needs and
growing Importance in the com
mercial world. At this meeting,
the newly elected members-Row
land, Dancer, He'll Funk and
Lewis-were present. Wyatt Keedy
was city clerk.
In his Introductory remarks,
Mayor Hahn said: Il desire to
take this opportunity to say that
the citizens of Hagerstown have
every reason to hold in grateful re
membrance the services of the
members Of the City Council for
the year 1890 and 1891, namely.
Messrs Rowland, HutsOn. Gassman.
Fennell and LOwman." From the
statement given. Mayor Hahn said
that it would seem the finances of
the city were in good condition,
and that all of the city'S Obliga-
tiOns had been met. In regard to
electric light, Mayor Hahn said:
Owing to the urgent demand for
more street lights, the necessary
power and authority to eXpend
more money for street lighting,
power has been secured from the
Legislature to eXpend more money
for street lighting. AS a result of
this power and authority, IL more
arc lights can be contracted for by
the Board of Street Commission
ers. This modern. and | must add
superior system of lighting the
streets, affords additional security
and comfort to travel and to a
very great extent. enhances addi-
tiOnal security and comfort to
travel. and to a very great extent
enhances the attractiveness of our
streets. I therefore feel justified
in saying that l do not believe any
branch Of the public service is
more appreciated by our patrons.
A proper levy, and the prompt col
lection Of taxes by John H. Middle
kauff. the present efficient tax col
lectOr, have resulted in the prompt
payment Of bills"
The reports Of the Board of
Street Commissioners on the open
ing of Lee street and Winter street
were accepted.
Reports on the opening of East
Washington street and East Antie-
tam street, were rejected.
Mayor Hahn suggested that the
names of all streets be put up on
street corners as a guide and con
venience to visitors as we'll as our
own people.
Mayor Hahn stated that every
thing pointed to an early construc
ton of a street railway. Messrs.
Lewis and Mercer of New York, it
was said, would be here to begin
operations.
