The flrst announcement came ap-

plaintively that the American radio
was announcing the attack while the
bombs fell.
In the early hours of Saturday
morning washington time), the
Super Fortresses had returned to
their bases in China, and Gen. Henry
H. Arnold's headquarters was able
to announce that not one had been
lost. -Four Of the huge bombers had
been lost on the June Is mission
one to antiaircraft fire over the
target, two in landing accidents, and
one unacc0unted for.
The successful attack Of last night
was the second Super Fortress mis-

The communique did not make
clear whether the two targets in
China were attacked by the mission
while it was outbound from its
China base or whether the two
cities were hit on the return flight
There also was the possibility that
part of the mission was diverted
to attend to the two enemy China
cities.

Coroner SET 10 Hold
Miners Legally Dead ,
But Crews Toll On
By the Associated Press.


BELLAIRE, Ohio. July 8-Work
crews toiled doggedly today to sink
q 350-foot shaft to 66 coal miners
who have been imprisoned by fire
since Wednesday, as the Belmont
County coroner prepared to declare
the men legally dead so their FAM
lilies could obtain workmen's COM
pensation benefits.
To all but friends of the men en-
tombed in nearby Powhatan Mine,
efforts to sink the air vent in hope
that the men still might be alive,
seemed futile gesture.
Mine inspectors, United Mine
Workers officials and company
spokesmen voice the opinion the
men are not alive. But hope per-
sists among many miners who daily
worked beside them.
The mine was sealed Thursday
morning in final effort to extin-
guish the fire which got out of con-
troll before rescue crews could reach
the men trapped in dead-end tun-
nels behind the fierce flames.
Veterans at the Powhatan pit,
largest in the State, pointed out
that fully one-third of the en-
trapped men were among the ablest
and most experienced in life-saving
and rescue work among the COM
pany's thousand-odd employees.
The task of sinking the shaft
started at $50 pm. last night.
Delay has logged the efforts of
rescue crews and engineers.
First, engineers had to locate the
shaft. Gable had to be laid, a
power plant transported. and a road
cleared to bring in the drill from
st. Clairsville, 48 miles distant.
When it arrived. more power than
was available had to be supplied.
Today, however, it is grinding
away. 1t will take about 48 hours to
reach the tunnel in which the men

comparable to that on a battleship.
Shown here today and yesterday
were new instruments of uncanny

can be mentioned only in the va
guest terms.
Short on Gas, Bearings.
The possibility that Japan may
bear the brunt of this developing
air power was indicated by Gen
H H. Arnold. chief of the AAF, after
his recent return from Normandy
where the Luftwaffe was forced to
pass up "an airman's dream of land
and sea targets because it appeared
Hermann Goerring was running
short OF gas and ball bearings as
we'll as fighters.
Hitler, it would appear, has spent
his &C" tickets and is now fearing
through his "Bs," when he gets
down to his "A's" in Gen. Arnold's s
opinion, Germany will be in a bad
way"
Only desperation, in the opinion
I OF Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers,
chief OF the materiel command,
could force the Nazi's to resort to a
hit-or-miss weapon like the robot
| bomb.
For years Hitler has been fright
enlng people with his tales Of secret
weapons the general said in well
coming the visitors here, but
Americans can now be told they
have nothing to fear. We have our
own secret weapons-weapons far
in advance of anything the enemy
has yet disclosed"
Robot Bombs Discarded.
Robot bombs were developed bv
the Army as far back as 1918. and
new types were being tested when
the Japs struck Pearl Harbor.
They were discarded the generals
say. because robot bombs fall at
random. while precision bombs hit
where it hurts the enemy most.
Out here in this birthplace of
aviation they are determined to give
the taxpayers their moneys worth
for the s75,00O,0o0 a day being spent
on air equipment.
Brig. Gen. F. o. Carroll. chief of
the Materiel Commands engineer
ing division, said the Army is test
mig engines of 5000 horsepower
That by no means is as high as thev
will go, he added.

officials. The mood of criticism that
is so widespread is an ominous
sign Of the times.
Jesus met it. He had done SEN
sational good, and only good. Yet
amidst the throngs that attended
Him everywhere were snooping
PhariseeS, seeing only evil in what
this new Teacher did. They con-
spired amongst themselves to criti-
else and thwart Him. They ascribed
His best deeds to lowest motives.
Their bitter spirit soon took on a
murderous attitude.
The gentle Teacher grew angry.
He was moved with indignation.
On the occasion in our lesson text.
when Jesus was in the midst of q
great healing, He turned to the
Pharisees and "looked round about
on them with anger"
1t Is very easy for any religion
to deteriorate into a set of regu-
latlons and ruleS-mere matters of
buttons and genuflexions and absti-
nences. In rural Canada ran into
a sect who called themselves "The
Tieless"-the men never wore neck
ties. have devout friends who
will never attend the movies or
the theater, and others who regard
the use of tobacco or cards as real
godlessness.
So the Jews had hedged Sabbath
keeping about with innumerable
restrictions and prohibitions. When
Jesus let His disciples pluck and
eat wheat as they walked through
the fields on the Sabbath the Phari-
sees assailed Him openly. And
when He went about to heal
paralytic in the synagogue on the
Sabbath their attitude provoked
Him to anger. He who embodied
the law of God in Himself could
not look unmoved upon the tray
esty of religion which tithed mint
and cummin and neglected the
spirit of the law.
Knowing full well the sort of
reception His act would receive.
Jesus proceeded to heal the man
with the withered arm. He called
the man to stand forth, that all
might see. Then, with confounding
logic, the Teacher said to His sullen
critics: 'Is it lawful on the Sab
bath to do good or to do harm? To
save a life or to kill?" That silenced
