ParamnuShirO
Hit by Bombs

WASHINGTON, Feb. A. (R)
Flying out from the Aleutian
Islands, two Navy bombers
pounded the big Japanese Naval
base at Paramushiro in the
North Pacific Kuriles, the Navy
announced today.
The raid on the enemy's larg-
est base in the North Pacific
was the tenth carried out since
late in December.
Results of the bombing were
not observed, possibly due to
the heavy weather which ordi-
narily shrouds that region.
The Navy reported that no
enemy planes were encountered
by the two bombing craft and
that both of our planes returned
safely TO their base.

Walter Bushman, 20, and
Walter S. Groat, 20, both of

trailer camp In Center Line, had
already removed one wheel
from a car parked in the trailer
camp Wednesday night, when

The pair were apprehended
about an hour later at Ten Mile

car was given the police by
Marcum.
Both Bushman and Groat de-

Prisoner

He had been imprisoned in
the same camp with Margaret
Mary and her husband, editor
Of the Manila Tribune. He had
promised them on leaving he
would Immediately write the
Bruels, and he did; a long, in
teresting letter To them it was
like letter from Margaret Mary
and Dave.
Cronan revealed that all at
the camp were we'll, although
everyone had lost considerable
weight. They are cheerful and
keep their spirits up with bridge
tournaments, mah-iong and 9TH
er camp games. The women and
men live separately, but eat to-
gether in a communal dining
room. He, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Boguslav were very C ose
friends.
Japanese authorities some
time ago notified the L. S. Gov
eminent that Boguslav was held
in a concentration camp, but
not once have they mentioned
the name Of Margaret Mary
Bruel. Efforts TO obtain repatri-
alton of the Boguslavs. strenu-
ously made by the Bruels and
many persons of government in
fluence, have been futile. The
Japs will release whom they
will and when they will, is the
discouraging Japanese answer.
Margaret Mary Bruel left
Marygrove College in 1887 with
a degree in journalism, and ae-
copied the invitation of coll
lege chum, Miss Leila Lopez to
visit with he in Manila in 1888.
Miss Bruel fell in love with this
picturesque city, and obtained a
post as style editor on the Phil
ippine Herald, published by Col.
Romulo. She was working at her
newspaper job, after her mar
riage to the Manila Tribune ed
itor, when the Japs invaded the
Philippines.

because the much battered ship
was composed of the spare parts

so RAIDS
Staff Sergt. Boyd has been
visiting his family in Utica, and
is now at Columbia Air Base,
South Carolina, recovering
from the nervous tension Of nine
months steady combat duty in
the Mediterranean area, where
he participated in so different
raids - including the original
raid on Rome-and a score of
aerial engagements which have
made history.
For instance, he was in on the
aerial part of the famous Kas-
sarine Pass victory which swung
things the Allied way for the
first time in Rommels Inflated
African campaign. On another
occasion. Boyd and his buddies
were assigned to aid in the res
cue of the Fifth Army when
overwhelming G. er m an and
Italian forces were pushing it
into the sea. They strafed and
bombed plenty, about that time.
Boyd recalls 13 days Of straight
combat activity with scarcely a
halt. But they saved the Fifth
Army for its later parade of
victories.
For these and other engage
mentS, Boyds outfit was repeat
eddy cited in official records.
NINE AWARDS
Home on leave, Sergt. Boyd
proudly displayed the Air Medal
he Won-with eight bronze oak
leaf clusters attached to it. Each
additional cluster officially rep
resents repeated award of the
medal, and Mrs. Boyd likes to
think that her son won nine Air
Medals. He did. One member Of
Boyd's outfit. a resident of Bat
tie Creek, has been awarded 10
clusters to his Air Medal.
The Boyd family has lived
in Utica for the past six years.

for several days, returned to
support the thrusts.
In each case, Allied headquar-
ters said, the Germans were
repulsed with heavy losses and
the Allies improved their posi-
tons slightly.
Some of the fierceSt fighting
ever seen in the Mediterranean
theatre was taking place at
Casino where the Germans held
on grimly in the face of the
fury of the American attacks
and the storm of artillery shells.
American patrols once penetrat-
ed toward the center of the
town but were forced TO fall
back to the outskirts when they
encountered anti-tank guns and
strong posts.
Again Allied naval power, this
time French and Dutch war;
ships, supported the British near
the coast below Casino with
heavy Smelling of the area
around Formia.
Capture of the city promises
to be a prolonged and bloody af-
fair, for the Germans very
plainly have resolved to give it
up only at the highest cost.
Their bunkers are cleverly
concealed" said Murphy. You
can be right on top of them with
out noticing them. For example
they dig into ruins of bombed
buildings and all you see is a
pile of rubble. But there is lit
tie hole in the middle of that
debris and a gun ready to fire
through that hole"
In addition to the rubble for
tifications the Germans still
have both artillery and tanks
within the city.
1t was tank fire that forced
the American withdrawal yes
terday morning.
The Germans apparently now
have an escape route only to the
southwest and that is becoming
hourly more precarious. Amer
lean forces long have stood near
the city to the east and strong
thanking movement this week
carried around il to the north,
preaching the Gustav line for at
least three miles. American in
fantry yesterday had occupied
new heights on Mt. Castellone,
just northwest of Casino.
On the Anzio beachhead,
American forces were pressing
forward on the approaches to
Cisterna, Appian way city about
80 miles from Rome, capture of
which would help to paralyze
movement of supplies for Ger
man forces on the southern

even then the battle for Cisterna
