The antiaircraft fire had started.
L was in the third ship, which its
crew affectionately calls The First
Ship of its own group. 1t hasn't any
nickname. but the engines are
named for wives and girl friends of
the crew. This airplane got it's nick
name of First because it was the
first B-29 to be flown by it's own
crew overseas from the United
States. 1t was the first to fly the
hump between India and China. 1t
was the first to be attacked by Jap
fighter planes on that same hump
trip.
First for Me Forever"
I'm last nights operations-that
is, so far as the flying weather is
concerned-it was the third. The
way that it flew and the way that it
bombed will make it first for me for
ever.
I'VE took off from a base in West
ern China. carrying a large load of
bombs and gasoline We arrived at
the target at exactly 1902 that
night. 1t was at that moment that
our bombs plunged downward to-
ward their japanese marks.
The two minutes that preceded
1t. however, Were-aS We say in the
AIT Forces-rugged. In the first
place, the alarm had already been
given by the first two planes. The
searchlight batteries we're full on.
The enemy aircraft was blazing be-
low. And even before we got near
the target area, we had to weave
and dodge our way in.
1T wasn't too bad at first, but it
got steadily worse as we flew stead
lily eastward toward the fine target
of the Imperial Steel and Iron
Works of YaWata. FLAX began to
spray the ship. The weaving search
lights picked us up time and again,
only to lose us almost Immediately
And then it happened!
"One field battery caught us in
its huge, savage ack ack. From that
time on until we outran the beacons
the whole cabin was lit up like
Madison Square Garden on hockey
night. A whine and a sputter on
the nose told of a bullet hit; dull
thud on the right wing was a piece
of Shrapnel, as we found out later.
We just turned and turned
those faithful engines kept right on
going without one moments hesi-
tation.
"One OF the strange things which
we encountered over the target, as
so many other planes did, was the
absence of Jap night fighters. We
didn't see a single one, and our gun
ners were disappointed to say the

tack was reported in a communique
from the headquarters of Lord Louis
Montbatten, commander in chief in
the Southeast Asia theater, but the
type of planes carrying it out were
not identified.
Earlier, the Japanese Domei News
Agency said in a broadcast reported
by Federal Communications Com
mission monitors that several enemy
planes mad 'raided Korea. Asiatic

site Japan.
The broadcast transmitted to oc-
cupied East Asia areas, said the
planes hit in Southern Korea. 1t
quoted an announcement issued by
the japanese Army in Keijo (SeouD
that I'VE suffered no losses" The
japanese report did not identify the
nationality Of the raiders.
The Tokyo radio, after a long
silence following a brief War De-
partment announcement yesterday
of the raid, said last night that in
dustrial areas of Moji and Shim-
onoseki were hit. Early today it be-
gan belittling the assault. The Ger
man radio, quoting a Tokyo i'm

it was reported that no enemy air.
craft were over Tokyo"
Other japanese reports said
planes were detected two hours
ahead of their arrival over Japan,
that seven were brought down, in
cluding B-29," and that the largest
number of persons killed at any one
place was 40 inmates of the Kokura
Army Hospital"
The unveiling Of the Super Fort
resses and the spectacular way in
which they were unveiled, brought
speeches of acclaim in Congress and
qualification all over the country.
But perhaps none was more happy
than the workers who have helped
in the secret, multi -billioned pro-
duction work.
For example, at Marietta, Ga,
workers who have been building the
B-29s under hush hush conditions,
cheered, whistled and slapped each
other on the back. The same mix
ture of gay responsibility was felt
in plants at Wichita, Kans.; Seattle
and Renton, Washington, and
Omaha, Nebr. 'tr't
Secretary of War Stimson summed
things up:
These giant battleships of the air
are far superior to any plane our
enemies have been able to develop.
American engineering genius and
American industrial skill have COM
bined to create this powerful new
weapon, capable of carrying the war
to the most remote homeland of our
enmies. congratulate the men who
planned this action and manned the
airplanes which carried it out. These
pioneers have shortened our road to

Here again another divergence
OF opinion resulted, another diff
ference in experience was shown.
Some of them had encountered only
fax; others had come up against
the night fighters. The two events
we're, to their minds, entirely diff
ferent. But it still added up to the
same thing-that you can't fight g
one-sided war even with B-29

There was little bad news from
all those returning Nothing like
what might have been expected from
mission such as this one The
final result was almost fantastic as
the reports began to pour in from
the bases This plane came in per-
haps with one rudder missing and
that plane came in with a huge hole
in one wing, but flying proudly,
although somewhat disabled per-
hapS. And nearly all got back and
their crews with them.
There are no really spectacular
stories that I heard about last

great explosions, there was no pro-
life concentration of enemy power

Typhoid Fears Awakened
bv Pollution Disclosures

Mile road bathing beach had
opened on Monday COR the use
of residents of the community.
While little raw sewage &C
tually enters the lake, Village
President Adrian A. Lingemann
revealed, the impending recon
nection of the Nine Mile and
Martin drains with the recently
completed Lakeshore Intercept
tor, would remove approximate
ly 80 per cent Of the health men
ace now encountered.
The Nine Mile drain flow,
however, is processed through
the old Nine Mile road disposal
plant, Lingemann pointed out.
The commission action was
deemed by individual members
10 not only be wise as a health
safeguard but as lever in the
community's anticipated court
actions concerning use Of the
giant, fedemlly financed dis
posal artery.
DR.. Earhardt told the COM
mission that in view of the
states official designation of
Lake ST. Clair waters as unsafe,
from the IA Mile road south to
Altar road, he felt that the COM
munity should do its utmost to
protect the public from possible
contagion.
PROVIDE FOR TESTS
Actual banning of the swim
mong hazard was coupled with
the proviso that the restrictions
not be lifted until after a re-
connection with the Lakeshore
Interceptor is achieved and that,
even then, the approval of the
village health officer must be
forthcoming and must be based
upon a series of water purifica-
ton tests extending over several
days.
