Liberator Club Drive.
Response to the Liberator Club,
formed by businessmen who became
perturbed over the city's lag in in
dividual bond purchases, was re-
ported today by Chairman Granville
Guide to be gratifying" The club
is seeking $50 members at $1,000
each to defray the cost of a B-24
Liberator bomber.
Mr.. GUIDE. president Of the Wash
lngton Board of Trade, said the
following statement by Staff Seret.
Jerrold A. Gibbs of this city, recently
returned from Africa, best expresses
how appropriate the Liberator Club
drive is at this time:
You see," said Sergt. Gibbs, "a
Liberator is such fine fighting ship
it doesn't even need fighter escort.
Liberators are not like those 'sissies,'
the Flying Fortress. Why, Liberia
tor could fly longer, carry more gaso-
line, heavier bomb load and fight
off any Fortress in the skies" Mr.
GUIDE thought this intra service
rivalry healthy thing for America.
