Low Clouds; Bomb at 1000 Feet


Of the former he said they had no reports.
We were to keep our eyes open and bring them
back information as to its nature and location.
AS to the weather, he went on, there would
be low clouds. We would probably have to bomb
from about 1000 feet
The boys let out whistle at this as the GUS
tomary altitude from which they bomb is between
10000 and $4,000 feet.
There would be two boxes of 18 planes.
Each box would be broken up into three
fights-the high flight up on the right, the lead
flight below and out to the front, and the low
flight under and on parallel with the high fight
Each flight of six has lead plane with two
wing men flying on either side on the same level
but just little back.
Three planes Immediately behind him fly in
the same formation.
All this time had been sitting with Clayton
listening to the briefing as | had done dozens of
times before, but this time knew he was talking
to me as well-and what different feeling it was.
Col Wood dismissed the meeting with curt:
"YOu have six minutes until time for starting the
engines" The boys got up and left the room.
AS they passed, Clayton stopped one Of them
and introduced me to him.
This is 1t. Paul +. Cottingham from Green
vile, S. c." he said. Hes one of our veterans
with 81 missions under his belt and is leading
the high fight You will ride with him cO-pilOt."

1t looked to me as if our target was halfway
to Africa, but actually it was only some 80 or
60 miles inland.
Even so, it was to be the DEEPEST PENE-
TRATION THEY HAD MADE SO FAR IN
SUPPORT OF OUR GROUND TROOPS.
He told us the exact time we were to take-off,
leave our coast sight France, and be over the
target.
After the bombing we were to make big
swing to the left and come back pretty much over
the same route.

He was getting up.
Come on" he said "This is for you"
My stomach felt funny but / got up.
We drove over to the brefing room.
Crews were converging on it from all direc-
tons. When we got there we all shuffled into
room about 60 feet long by 80 feet wide.
1t was laid out like little movie theater with
big maps on the wall at the far end and with an
aisle running down the center hanked by row
Of benches
To make the illusion still more complete
little projection machine was set up on the table
halfway down the center aisle, pointing at the
maps.
The room was lighted by shaded bulbs hang
ing from the ceiling. The maps were brilliantly
illuminated like stage

Editor of Peoples Voice:
In our schools our children are
taught, "a public office is public
trust" in a democracy, and an officer
elected by the people is but "a serv-
ant of the people," but it appears our
president has exploded torpedo in
congressional ranks by calling for
recorded vote on a question or ques-
lions vital to the rights of the citizens
as whole and places the people in
position of tools to be used only at
election time.
ton was warning the people of the
danger of dictatorship and now ap-
pear to be trying to prove it's force by
congressional application by disfran-
chising the part of our people best
able to understand what the real bur-
den of maintaining democracy
means, and not even permitting them
to know what members of our law
making body was responsible for such
an act.
Is this the proper time to present
to the people of the whole world an
exhibition of political party rottenness
and personal animosity? Can our
people - voters - consider spending
their time and misplacing their con-
fidence in a group of politicians who
are not willing to inform them by
openly showing their real position?
Are we as citizens so dumb we mean
to employ servants who will not let
us know what they are doing? Are
the people to pay the salaries of their
servants and be sold to big interests
by them and not be permitted to know
it? Has politics got to be secret
profession? Are people going to &C
cept the decisions of such politicians
as honest and true when not given a
chance to question the merits of their
service? Is the position of the men,
bers of both parties who fuse on i'm
portant issues true evidence of their
in serving the people?
When they join in refusing to in
form the people of real motives, can
he question of fraud" be out of or
Ter? Should the people at the next
election demand a full knowledge of
every issue? Would such a demand
constitute ian insult? Should this
lext election show the world real
exhibition of Democratic Power?

JAPANESE CREATE NEW

Military defeats in China's "rice

rilla problem, have led the Japanese
to alter the political geography of
occupied China.
The Chungking radio disclosed re-
Gently that the Japanese had chewed
off chunks of the provinces of Kiang-
SUI, Anhwei and Shantung, combing
the pieces into the newly created
province" of Hwaihai
This step, according to the broad
cast, will enable the Japanese to con-
centrate more thoroughly OH exploit
ing the areas food resources, for the
province" is rich in peanuts, rice and
other food crops.
Maj Gen. Niu Hsien-Ming, Chinese
military spokesman, explained that
the move was also designed to protect
the areas supply lines against Chi
nese guerrillas. Hwaihai is the CEN
ter of two strategic railways - the
north-south Tientsin-Pukow line and
the east-west Lung-Hai line. The
eastern terminus of the latter railway,
the town of Lienyunshih, is being
developed by the Japanese as sea-
port.

"THE GOLDEN KITE"
One of Japan's highest military dec
orations is known as the "Order OF
the Golden Kite" The significance
of the Golden Kite" is tied up with
Japanese mythology and Emperor
worship.
In Japanese mythology, Hirohito is
a direct descendant of the Sun-God-
dess Amaterasu, who sent her fifth
generation descendant Jimmu to found
the dynasty of Japan in $50 B. c..
Jimmu had to win Japan in a fight
with "the enemy" Just as it seemed
that Jimmu was going to lose the bat
tie, a golden kite suddenly descended
and alighted on the end of his bow,

Saturday Session Held.
The Senate held an unusual Sat-
urday session In an effort to get
several provisions Of the bill out Of
the way. including the one requir-
ing financial registration by unions,
farm co-operatives and other non
profit groups. However, it did not
get to that matter, and 1t was put
over until tomorrow, along with
consideration OF proposed increases
In admittance taxes and cosmetics
levies.
In a floor discussion of luxury
taxes, Senator Overton, Democrat,
OF Louisiana said a fur coat selling
for $3.50 or less is an essential gar
ment for working girl and asked
that they be made exempt from the
proposed tax increase from 10 per
cent to 20 per cent. He lost on
voice vote.
1T almost breaks my heart to
hear of the poor, freezing girls in
semitropical louisiana" said SEN
ator Clark, adding that Senator
Overton had raised the question
because the increased tax might
interfere with the sale of muskrats
in the Southern State.
Servicemen Exempted.
An amendment by Senator
Downey, Democrat, of California,
to exempt members of the armed
forces, both of this Nation and
other Allied countries, from paying
the proposed cabaret tax was
adopted on a voice vote. The FL
nance Committee has recommended
that the cabaret tax be 20 per cent
of the bill.
Although the Senate withheld &C.
ton on an increase in admittance
taxes, Senator Clark classed any
attempt to raise them as an out
rage. and Senator Mead, Democrat,
OF New York, said he would offer
an amendment to maintain the
present 10 per cent rate, instead
OF the proposed doubling.
