Congress Horseshoe Expert
Renews Battle With WPB
FIonno9on Sees Old Dobbin Receiving
Hoof 'Monicures' and Toll 'Permonents'

BY the Associated Prea.
Representative Flanagan, Dem
ocrat, Of Virginia. q farmer who
claims to know his horses and
horseshoes, has returned to his
verbal war with the War Production
Board to suggest that some Of the
luck traditionally associated with
horseshoes be used to get rid Of
some Of the wonder boys that are
trying to run the farm program"
Mr.. Flanagan last week heaped
ridicule on q letter signed by Ed
ward r. Gay Of WIPES industrial
program branch, Once Of Civilian
Supply, in which 1t vas suggested,
among other things. that horse
owners can, in many cases, save
shoes by removing the shoes imme-
diately after. . period Of necessary
road work or other work where
shoes are necessary only during
certain periods"
The Representative said that sub
sequently an unidentified WPB in
formation man was quoted as saying
that while the letter was signed by
Mr.. Gay, 1t was written by = subor-
dinate, Verne v. Gregg, in charge
Of farm machinery, "a man born on

q farm, graduated from Missouri
College Of Agriculture, one-time
manager Of q 2,700-acre farm and
until recently an employee Of the
Agriculture Department"
As to removing shoes, the WPB
information man was quoted as say
ing that what Mr.. Gregg meant
was that 1T would be q good thing
to remove the shoes from horses
at the end Of their annual work
period before turning them out to
pasture. Otherwise, the horses cast
the shoes In the pasture and when
they are recovered by little boys
they do not go into the scrap drive
but are hidden under their pillows
or nailed to the barn door,"
Mr.. Flanagan retorted in the
House yesterday that they should be
nailed to every barn door in the
country until We get rid Of some
Of the wonder boys that are trying
to run the farm program"
AS for putting horseshoes under
their pillow, Mr.. Flanagan said,
while confess that q . boy on
the farm I used to sleep With my
dog, when 1t comes to sleeping with
horseshoes deny the charge, not

 Headquarters, Seventh United States Air Force, Hawaii, Jan. ,12.-- OelayeO = (UP) - Brig. Gen. Le- verne G. (Blondy) Saunders, West Point football star and Pacific war hero, promised today that his Flying Fortresses and other American planes would plaster Japanese bases throughout the oSuth Pacific as far as they could reach.
 "But the one sure way to lick the Japs is to knock them out in their own homeland" Saunders said. T hope to spend next Christmas over Tokyo.'
 Saunders said that the Japanese were getting the stuffing knocked out. of them aerially; in the south Pacific and had lost more than 800 planes there. since the Marine land- ings in the Solomons in August.
 Their losses are at 8 ratio of at least six to one, he asserted.
 '"The secret of the South Pacific offensive is the constant use of long distance striking weapons such as heavy bombers with adequate defen- sive fire power" Saunders said.
 He reported that the Japanese were still using capable and experi- enced fighter pilots to protect their ships but were now generally i11- ferior to those they used in the early days of the Pacific war because of their heavy plane losses.
 Saunders, commanding the United States heavy bombardment forces in the South Pacific, came back to headuuarters for the first time since July, his forehead scared by a

BOSTON LAWYERS
 OPENLY ATTACKED
Attorney=Ge Opposed to Quashing Indictments
 Against Defendants

Boston, Jan. B. (UP)-Atty- Gen Robert T. Bushnell said today he would stay in court all summer if necessary to fight moves to quaSh indictments against 10 defendants accused of neglect of duty, con- spiracy and manslaughter in the Cocoanut Grove holocaust which took 490 lives.
 Nearly all the defendantS-includ- ing Barnett WelanSky, owner of the club, and Building Commissioner James H. Mooney-have filed mo- tions to quash the indictments on grounds they charge no specific act and state only conclusion.
 "The voicelesS public is not inter ested in this" Bushnell said. We are dealing with case where the death toll mounted to nearly 500. :. lawyers seem to feel that if they file enough motions an dtake long enough, they can talk anything out of court. Well, we are going to stay with them here if we have to stay all summer"
 Hearings on the motions were to continue in superior court. Mean while Governor Saltonstall yesterday appointed a three-man commission to serve without pay to help the leg islature draft a building and safety code to prevent similar disaster in the future.
 The committee included William Roger Greeley, president of the Boston Society of Architects; Elliott P. Knight, superintendent of the eningeering department of the Em- ployers' Liability Assurance Corp, and Morton c. Futile, Newton en- gineer.

Commandos and parachutists carry the war birds with them on forays behind the enemy lines, but until recently pigeons were ignored by the air forces.
 R. A. F. flyers first started car- rying pigeons in their planes to release if they were forced down. One of the birds recently flew $50 miles to Scotland with message from a bomber crew floating on a rubber raft in the North Sea.
 U. s. pilots began to ask for pig cons to carry back distress signals when their radios were disabled or the planes forced down, and the Signal Corps began Investigating the feasibility of releasing pigeons from plane in flight.
 After 587 tests it was found that the best method of launhcing a pigeon at attitudes under 10000 feet was to put the birds in slit paper bag to protect it's feathers from the backwash of the propeller. After falling a few hundred feet the bag blows and the bird is free to soar away.
 LIVE TIME BOMB"
 Above 10000 feet, however, the air is too raref1ed to support pigeon in flight, so the Signal Corps invented the bomb" This is canvas-covered wire tube held to- gether with timing device. By computing the known rate of speed of a falling body, the timing device can be set to open the projectile at any desired altitude. When the bomb falls apart the pigeon spreads it's wings and heads home.
 The pigeon bomb will be used when scouting planes are maintain ing radio silence while watching enemy troop or ship movements.
 New lightweight carrying tubes and film enable pigeons to carry a 1OO0-word message.
 Capt. Otto Meyer, chief of the Pigeon Service, said fanciers have donted thousands of valuable birds to help the Army build up it's feathered corps. These birds are u1ied for breeding. Training of Army birds starts almost as soon as they emerge from their eggs and before they are four weeks old they are flying home from as far as 60 niles away.

 Saunders said that his Flying FortresseS alone, flying from an ad- vance base in the New Hebrides, had accounted for 154 Japanese planes known destroyed and 62 damaged within five months.
 In their operations, he said. the Fortresses had scored damaging hits on 34 Japanese surface vessels. pounded relentlessly at the six main enemy bases within their range and conducted systematic daily missions in search of enemy naval and aerial forces and signs of enemy base con- struction over 8 vast expanse of the island dotted ocean.
 Saunders said the South Pacific was the most difficult operational theater in the world for planes be. cause of the distances between bases, lack of nav.gational aids and wealth CT conditions.
 He Sald on the question Of edec- tiyeness of high level and other types of American striking planes that any type of bombing was 8 question of the force engaged.
 "It is purely matter of mathe- matics," he said. eff you have the right kind of formation and enough planes you are bound to get hits"
 The new Japanese air field on Munda Point in the New Georgia group of the Sololnons, north oi Guadalcanal, is a new menace to American positions, Saunders said But he added that Aneriacn bomb- CTS are hitting the field so consist ently that the Japanese are having increasing dinaculty, in operating from 1t. s Saunders, 30, of Aberdeen, s.
