VHE rate at which the railroads are now
moving men of the armed forces is
about 1000, 900 month. In addition, they are
carrying thousands of soldiers, sailors, marines,
coast guardsmen travelling on leave.
In no war in which this country has ever
engaged have the railroads been called upon
TO move so many toops-to so many places
and so many times. For example, in the last
war a soldier was moved an average of two
trips between the time he entered service and
went abroad. Now, the average is about six
tnps-because modern warfare is more tech
nical, calls for more extensive training.
So tremendous amount of passenger equip
ment is constantly in service transporting

the methods under which both

Both he and Lawson, a resident

Both Watson and Lawson stated
that Doolittle had instructed them
carefully before the raid TO hit
nothing but military targts, which
were identified ahead of time.
The two fliers held a press con-

the details of the Toxic raid were

Evatt Asks
For Raid
On Japan
Detroit Time. Washington Bureau


WASHINGTON, April 23-Aus-
tralia today placed before i'm
portant elements of the u. S.
Senate an appeal for an immediate
Allied grand offensive against
Japan.
The message, repeatedly one of
high alarm over a rapidly worsen-
ing situation, was borne by DR..
Herbert V. Evatt, special emissary
from the Australian government.
He met senators concerned with
military and foreign affairs behind
the closed doors of a dining room
in the Capitol.
GREAT OFFENSIVE
He left the clear-out impression,
according TO his listeners, that
Australia is convinced that only a
great offensive. undertaken even
at sacrifice in other theaters of
war, can prevent a continuance of
japanese reinforcements and con-
solicitations that will lead TO a
United Nations disaster the length
and breadth of the Pacific.
Dr.. Evatt, who spoke for more
than an hour and devoted another
hour to answering questions, is the
Australian attorney general and
minister for external affairs.
To the senators he repeatedly ex-
planned explicitly why MacAr-
thurs present holding operations
cannot succeed indefinitely against
the steady stacking up of Japanese
air. sea and troop strength, and
that huge counter attack is the
only scientific military answer.
EvATT's WARNING
DR.. Evatt warned that assault
must be made at once on the
strength Japan has stored up dur
ing this country's virtually COM
plete preoccupation with the war
in Africa and Europe.
Those who met with DR.. Evatt
included Senators Connally CD OF
Texas. chairman of the foreign
relations committee; Reynolds Cd
OF North Carolina. chairman Of
the military affairs committee;
Byrd Cd of Virginia, Vandenberg
tRD of Michigan foreign relations
committee member; Holman fR1
of Oregon. military affairs COM
mittee member; O'Mahoney CD of

tee; George Cd of Georgia,

1t. Thomas c. Griffin didn't
finish the story of his part in
Doolittle's raid on Toxic a year
ago.
Perhaps war restrictions stopped
him. At any rate no one thought TO
ask what happened after he left
the Japanese city. They were too
awed by the story of the attack
itself which was elected from the
shy. slender young navigator.
GUEST OF HONOR
That was az a General Motors
press party at Bloomfield Hills
Country Club last July. 20, just
four months after the attack. Crit

GUEST OF HONOR
COMPLETE SURPRISE

"They thought we were
friends. Children at play tossed
stones i'm our direction. TOTO was
caught as entirely unawares as
any man could be.
"When the Japs finally
realized what was happening,
they opened up with anti-aircraft
fire from the hills which skirt
the city, but our low altitude
made a poor target and they
shelled their own homes and
people.
"a pursuit ship came up on
our tail and put tracer plenty
close to the left engine, then
peppered us with machine gun
fire, but we got away"
