Air Force Pilot Says
No Churches Were Hill
InU. ). Raid on Rome
By the Associated Press.

BY thf Associated Press.
Because of careful American
planning, the shrines of Rome were
safe even from accidental damage
when Allied bombers attacked the
city July 19, Col Stanley j. Donovan
of the Northwest African Strategic
Air Force has reported.
tThe closest church to the Sar
Lorenzo railroad yards was three
quarters of mile away, and we Just
don't miss targets by three-quarters
of mile" he told a press confer
ence yesterday, IF we did, they'd
send US back to the showers"
Col Donovan did not fly on the
Rome raid, but had hand in the
planning Not only were the
churches and other cultural shrines
carefully marked on the maps which
the flyers studied beforehand, he
said, but the course of every plane
was charted so that it did not even
fly over them-before, during or
after the attack-as a guarantee
that even an accidental bomb re-
lease. by an antiaircraft hit. for in
stance, would not damage one of the
churches.
Col. Donovan has just returned
from North Africa, where the heavy
bomber group he commands COM
pleted a few days ago its first year
of battle operations, having flown
1900 sorties in 153 missions, scored
260 confirmed victories over enemy
planes in aerial combat and dam
aged ITO others. while losing 20 of
its own bomberS.
Although the Axis air forces have
taken licking, Col Donovan said
he had noticed no lowering of the
quality of enemy pilots. They are AS
good now AS they ever were, and
they're damned good he said. but
our men are helluva lot better"

TO THE EDITOR:

TO THE EDITOR:
60: THE 1919 age young men
~ are now called upon to pro-
tect our democratic way of life;
they bow 10 the will of their
President and Congress.
Too bad these lads who have
had no part in conditions being
what they are today must act as
a breast-plate for the older
regime. Not being 81 years of
age, they have as yet had no
voice whatever in congressional
matters of their government
and are, therefore, pretty much
in the same position as our fore
fathers were when they rebelled
against taxation without repre-
sentation.
These young men in the spirit
of patriotism. accept this chal-
lenge TO step into the breach
and save their country but. they
feel they should not be moved
about like pawns on chess
board. pieces of ivory without
brains or feeling.
Rather, they feel that they
should be treated as men and
allowed 10 vote and have a say
in the matters pertaining 10
their own welfare and future
life If they are to fight TO pro-
teCt the lives Of the congress
men. they feel they should be
permitted 10 decide just who
these men shall be.
So far, only one public voice
has had the intestinal fortitude
10 stand up and speak for these
young men Senator Nanden-
berg. II seems that now is the
time for all these school teach
erS and college professors. who
have been teaching these nice
platitudes about democracy, 10
get behind this movement,
rather than Just talk about it,.
and all who favor it should
write their congressman de-
manding that VIC be fair 10
these men and grant them the
right 10 vote
Since youth and age never
had too much in common, old
age living in the here and now
and youth ever looking forward.
would make a good balance. II
was said long years ago, where
there is no vision the people
perish.
Well, we are not quite at that
stage but, we have ample
proof that the vision through
the past years has not been too
good and certainly not so smart
that we can say. as some would,
10 these young men. you must
/ 60 out and fight 10 save this
country and US. but you arc not
mature or stable enough 10 vote

ton: also. let US act intelhgently
