conduct of Foster Mcclure.
Mcclure was making a speech

In his hand Mcclure clutched a
folded newspaper. He would talk
moment, open the newspaper
stare at it bit, close it, and go
on talking.
Why was he reading his speech
out of a newspaper? Why wasn't
he complaining about the lights?
What goes on here? Mcclure Kept
peeking inside the newspaper all
through his speech. The Toast
masters couldn't endure their cur

Mcclure had printed his notes IN

face as Gen. Strahm made his re-

Arnold replied, That's a fine job
We're all thrilled to hear it,"
Invasion Begun"
From London, Maj. Gen. Ira C.
Eaker. commander of the United
States 9th Air Force, told those
who wanted to know when the in
vasion of Germany would begin
that "it has begun" :
The 9th Air Force began in
Britain nearly year ago, with the
RAF, the major assignment of the
war-the destruction of the Ger
man Air Force and destruction of a
great part of German war industry
Il am happy to tell you now that
we are on schedule in the accom-
plishment. We and the RAF share
the determination to give the enemy
no respite and no peace until Ger
many surrenders unconditionally.
Gen. Eaker declared that despite
the desperate need for fighters on
the Russian and Sicilian fronts,
Hitler had to maintain more than
half his total fighter strength across
the channel"
Doolittle Sounds Keynote.
From another front, Maj. Gen.
Doolittle, commander of the North
west African Strategic Air Force,
sounded the keynote of the Army
Hour broadcast when he reported:
1--WE now have air superiority in
every theater and will eventually
have air domination. Then the
war is won"
Reporting that his flyers could
reach any point in Italy, Gen. Doo-
little added that "our score shows
over 200 enemy ships sunk or put
out of commission, over 5000 enemy
aircraft destroyed in the air and on
the ground and innumerable trains,
trucks and tanks destroyed"
From Australia, 1t. Gen. George
c. Kenney, commanding general of
the Southwest Pacific Air Forces,
compared what his airmen were ac-
complishing a year ago with their
present record.
Combat Hours Multiplied.
Our airmen," he said, "are In
actual combat with the enemy four
times the number of hours that they
were II months ago. Now we are
hammering the japanese with three
times the tonnage of bombs that we
were able to deliver year ago. A
year ago, 25-ton raid was excep-
tional. Now, a 100-ton raid, blow
four times the power of our early
efforts, is easy.
AN attack against the japanese
base at Rabaul twice each week
was about the best we could DO a
year ago. Today, any day we can
and do bomb half a dozen major
Japanese bases extending over an
area from Java in the west by an
arc of nearly 5000 miles east of
Rabaul itself"
Bad news from the enemy was
also contained in the anniversary
reports from Maj. Gen. Claire L.
