 Lookout Lauren Giebner followed the sound of the motor as the plane moved northeastward and heard the blast and saw a flash as from a bomb being dropped
 Spotted Small Blaze
 Gfebner reported to U. s. forest headquarters here and for fire in the woods.
 When the fog had lifted two hours later he spotted a small blaze in a heavily timbered canyon three miles away. Fire fighters hiked for two hours over rugged mountains to reach the blaze and put it udner control.
 This is the second reported at tempt by the enemy to start a for est fire with incendlary bombs. The Army previously had announced that a small plane flew in from the sea near Brookings, 50 miles south of here last September g, dropping two bombs which started small fires. Lookouts also spotted that plane and called fighters to the spot who put out the flames quick ly Fragments of one of the first bombs were gathered by the Army.
