Boss Provides
Extra Show
By NE. pRUKENBRoD

There was a show within the
show last night at Olympia as the
Red Wings were beating the
Hawks. II was put on by Bill
Tobin. chubby little president and
general manager Of the Hawks.
One of those we-waS-robbed
guys. he spent most Of the time
berating referee King Clancy
whose work obviously displeased
him. HIS act was so funny that
some likened ii 10 the best Of that

Ped Dutton apparently figuring
that as head Of the league he can

from which some of today's raiders
left. as well as other fields on Tinian
and Guam.
Use of bases in the Marianas
solved a major logistic problem in
operation of the B-29's. The islands
are within far more practicable sup
ply lines than the long hump"
flight from India. which still serv-
ices the goth Air Force planes in
China.
The 2lst Bomber Command. the
second unit of the Goth Air Force
to be announced, was organized and
trained initially in Colorado Springs,
Colo, and later in the Salina
(Kans) area. Despite the large size
of this initial raid, based on five
months B-29 experience in other
theaters, Gen. Hansell warned that
Super Fort attacks must be regard
ed as still in the experimental stage
in this theater.
During five months operations
from China and India bases, the
Super Forts have hit targets at va
wata, Sasebo and OnNura on Kyu-
shu, in the japanese homeland;
Mukden, Anshan, Dairen, Laoyao,
Loyang, Kaieng, Marking and
Shanghai in occupied China; Bang
kok, Thailand; Rangoon, Burma,
Palembang, Singapore and For

Continued From First Page.)

Haywood S. Postum Hansell, jr.
of San Antonio, Tex.
The first use of these bases south
and east of Tokyo creates a two
way aerial squeeze against Japan's
vital industries, with other B-29s
from China, to the west.
First official announcements of
today's raid merely said a "sizable
task force" of Super Forts attacked
industrial targets in Tokyo" An
other communique was promised
when further details were available.
(Tokyo, acknowledging the as
sault four hours after it's an
nouncement in the United States,
said the Super Forts hit the
southern and northern outskirts
of the capital early this after
noon, japanese time. The broad
cast, heard by the Federal Com
munications Commission, claimed
the B-29s failed to attain any
tangible results" but residential
sections. including one hospital,
were slightly damaged" 1t said
three were shot down.
On another broadcast. Domei
News Agency admitted some fires
were started IN Tokyo, but in
sisted they were quickly put out,
and it indirectly admitted ma ior
targets were. bombed, reporting
practically no damage was suf-
tered by important installations.
"a Tokyo broadcast heard in
San Francisco by NBC charac-
terized the attack as an indis-
cr1minate raid for propaganda
purposes. 1t said the United
States announced the action at
1856 Tokyo time, while the planes
were still over the target and be-
fore results could have been re-
ported)
Hinged by AirfieIds.
Tokyo'S great spraWling industrial
area is ringed by airfields and anti
aircraft defenses, recent lone B-29
reconnaissance flights showed. Ship
ping and shipbuilding yards are To-
Gated in nearby Yokohama.
Early reports gave no indication
OF the bomb loads carried. But the
Army Air Forces revealed yesterday
In Washington that Super Fortress
can carry at least 10 tons of bombs.
The airmen were briefed to avoid,
the Imperial Palace, in the capitals
heart, and shrines and temples.
They departed from here well

This operation" he said, lis in
no sense hit-and-run raid 1t is a
calculated extension of our air pow
er .. No part of the japanese
Empire is now out of our range, no
war factory too remote to feel our
bombs. The battle for Japan has
been joined.
THE systematic demolition of
Japans war production, begun six
months ago from China bases,
henceforth will be carried out with
decisive force, softening up the jap
anese heart for the ultimate inva-
sion by combined United Nations
land, sea and air forces. This will
not be accomplished in a short time.
The battle is just beginning. But
today we opened against Tokyo an
attack which will be carried on re-
lentlessly from the air until the
day of land-sea INVASION"

B-29 Tokyo Raiders
Avoid Bombing of

BY the Associated Press.
SAIPAN, Marianas Islands,
Nov. 24.-As they did in Europe,
American raiders over Japan
are respecting religious estab-
lishments as far as possible.
Tokyo photographs plainly
show the Emperor's palace and
grounds. B-29 crews were
briefed carefully to avoid hit
ting these and other shrines.
1t. Col. Robert Haynes, Her

participating in the first Sal

I'VE have been briefed for

A B-29 Super Fortress will be on
public exhibition from 8 am. until
5 pm. Sunday at the National Air
port, according to an Army Air
Forces announcement.
Powerful enough to carry 10 tons
OF bombs and q gasoline load OF
5000 gallons, the B-29 capacity is
considerably more than Britain's
largest bomber, the Lancaster, which
carries 81 tons. The AAF also an
