War Correspondent Noyes Expected Milk Run
On Steyr Raid; Sow Il errific Bottle Over Alps

1t was by "huke" and not design
that he flew on Liberator bomber
into the toughest German fighter
opposition ever encountered by the
American 18th Air Force, Newbold
Noyes, jr., Star war correspondent,
insisted today.
II thought was going on a milk
run-a nice safe raid"-Mr. Noyes,
home for a rest from the Mediter-
ranean theater, said in telling the
story behind his eyewitness story in
The Star last April 8 concerning the
historic air attack that devastated
the German ball-bearing works at
Steyr, Austria.
Mr.. Noyes had been writing about
activities at the bomber base for
about two weeks, and thought it
would be a good idea to get an "ac-
tion" story. Il asked them to take
me along on a safe raid" he saidi
I'VE waited several days for one to
turn up.
Different This Time.
Then about 10 o'clock one night
the squadron leader with whom I
was living found out about the next
days target-Steyr. Our planes had
been there before without running
into any trouble. He said he thought
this was what we were waiting for
it would not be dangerous. I said I'd
love to go along"
The Germans had different ideas
this time, however, and sent up
fighters that gave the American
bombers a terrific" running battle
in which 157 enemy planes were de-
stroyed and 36 of ours were lost.
II was scared" Mr.. Noyes said,
recalling how he watched from the
flight deck of Liberator as rockets
and machine-gun bullets sent other
bombers crashing in flames.
Sought Local Angle"
Before that unexpected experience,
Mr.. Noyes had gone out of his way
to always try to cover the local
angle" whenever he heard of a
Washington boy engaged in any op-
Grafton. But afterward he was a
little Superstitious about that. Let
him tell why:
II was just getting into the heated
clothing, parachute harness, etc, be-
fore boarding the Liberator to which
I was assigned for this trip when I
learned that Washington boy was
plotting another Liberator which was
to fly in the same box of six bomb
ers.
II asked if I could change planes |
SO 1 could fly with the hometown
pilot-that would make much bet
ter story for The Star. They told
me it would be difficult to change at |
the last minute-something about |
not knowing exactly where the other
plane was on the field. So, reluc-
family, I climbed aboard Little Joe,
jr., piloted by 1t. Mike Meyer of
Crivitz, Wis.
When we got into the air saw
off our left wing and slightly be-
hind us the plane piloted by the
Washington mani never did learn |
his name. Painted on the nose of
the plane was a recumbent girl and !
the name-Well Call it Mary.
During the battle over Steyr and
for part of the way back, Little Joe
was not scratched. But out of the |
little window off to the left of our
flight deck I saw the plane which I
would have been riding, if I'd had |
my way, get two of. its engines

Louis Compliment Stirs Buer
To Proclaim His Gumeness

He said Louis should know what
he's talking about, since Joe had tc
hit him 13 times, when he was help
less, before he went down to a sit
ting position.
Admits He's No killer"
Baer declared that although he
knew he didn't stand a chance of
winning against Louis, he wasn't
frightened. "It was a little like a
soldier with blank cartridges facing
an opponent with live ammunition, "
he said.
He admitted he lacked the killer
instinct and added: 'It's easy for
the fan at the ringside or in the
gallery-who doesn't feel a single
punch-to be bloodthirsty and yell
for the kill, but boxing is supposed
to be sport, not legalized murder.
