OXYGEN ALL IMPORTANT

The engineer complains of ?
severe headache and frequently
inhaies big guipS of oxygen. The
navigator works uRinterruptedly
with his octant charts.
Time speeds by and suddenly
we realize il is noon and stimuli
taneously we hear the excited
Tokyo radio announcing an air
raid.
We get our first glimpse Of
enemy territory, a pertec tlS
shaped volcanic island more than
FIVE miles beneath us.
Now the crew members don
their heavy fax vests and the
fight engineer grinS as he re.
marks that "this is what every
weii-dressed gentleman wears
over Tokyo"
They also fasten their para
chute straps, which gives them a
certain feeling of security.
FUJNAMA PLEASING
We fly over several other
islands. spot half a dozen ships
and then a series Of shouts come
from the crew.
There's Fujlyama," (famed
Japanese mountain).
"By God, It's pretty"
"Just like the picture post
cards, amt it,"
Unaccountably. we have been
losing air speed and most of our

4e reflection in our windshield
shows two other B-29s--one on
each Of our wings.
Our bombardier 1t. Oliver A.
Wallace of Riverside, Cal, turns
TO me and says:
"Are you frightened"

I'm really not. but I reply af-
Tentatively.
Wallace then says:
''otxay, IL you weren't I'd let
you do the bombing"
Wallace spots the first enemy
plane-a twin-engined fighter
numbering along many thousands
Of feet below, lodging frantically
as the amazed pilot sights the
skyful of B-29s.
Then we shoot past other hiers
seemingly hanging on props and
trying futilely TO reach our alti-
tude.

doing ii for years, crew member.
spotting enemy planes, calls out:
Fighter, low II O'Clock"
"Another. high, 3 o'clock"
"One boring in, IL o'clock"
Wallace tracks them with his
gunsight and when we get close
enough he squeezes the trigger
and shells rattle off the cabin roof
as the Sos nd 20 millimeters
spit a few rounds.
MISS THE TARGET
Capt. Durham has been watch
ing for Fuiiyama as clouds close
in over the rugged brown relief
map that Is Japan and when we
reach IL he turns the plane for
the bombing run and shouts to
Wallace:
"On run, take her"
"We should be over Tokyo by
now" Durham SAYS
But the clouds are inpenetrable.

MAJOR BREAK REPORTED

On the Slovak-Hungarian from
tier, 35 miles northwest of Buda-
pest, however, Cossack cavalry
men and armored units forced a
major break in the German de-
lenses covering the direct road TO
Bradshaw and Vienna.
Smashing across the Ipoly
River barrier after five days of
ferocious fighting, the Russians
stormed and captured Sally and
pushed on through two-mile-
wide mountain gap into the Bra
tiSlava plain.
German shock troops counter
attacked repeatedly in a desper-
ate attempt 10 hold Sally and
fighting swirled from house TO
house. The Nazis were routed
eventually, leaving more than 800
dead and the bHined-out huiks of
l3 tanks.

Berlin broadcasts limited that a
powerful Red winter offensive

Tightly censored accounts from
Moscow and Berlin gave only the

THERE are some aspects OF

Judge from the persistence with
which certain types Of questions
are being asked IN different
parts of the country
People, for instance, pose
conundrums such as this. Since
our navy is able TO take strongly
defended points IN the Pacific
with such seeming ease, why
doesn't the British Navy, or
combined British American
naval force, steam up TO the
beaches of the Anzio-Nettuno
sector 10 give continuous sup
port to our beachhead?
Or they ask Now that air
craft carriers can attack-and
destroy air power on an island

carriers steam up to Wilhelms-
haven, Kiel or other such coastal

IT IS generally conceded that
the Am erican Navy is
roughly twice as strong ds the
japanese navy. Our SpokcS-
men, indeed, underline this fact
by continually daring" the
Japanese 10 come out and

not simply pursue that inferior
navy to the hiding place and
end the agony?

/ AM mentioning this raid
theory 10 show YOU that as
far as the army and the navy
are concerned the war in the
Pacific -hA-nn- means over and
that They are not taking II FOR
granted that the enemy cannot
reach us or will not attempt to
reach US. which is probably a
pretty good attitude in view of
the relaxed feeling of the people
OF the Pacific Coast after a long
period of tension.
For months following Pearl
Harbor life was filled with many
alarms and excursions for the
coasters what with A Jap SUBJ
marine lobhing few shells
ashore from of Santa Barbara
and frequent alertS and black
outs and other incidents that
kept the people 'apprised that
they were living in theater of

today the majority of Angelons
are inclined 10 doubt that there
was any more proVoCation for
the firing than vague shadows

hour.
WHEN the enemy moved into
w the Aleutians which are
practically around the corner
from the big cities of the coast
for a bomber. the uneasineSs OF
the coasters increased.
The public prints set up
great clamor for dispersal of
these unwelcome neighbors, the
incessant outcry of the news
papers undoubtedly stepping up
the naval and military prepare
lions that eliminated in the
ousting OF the Japs from Attu
and kiSka.
Then our troops and ships
started kicking the Japs around
IN the Pacific and moving the
war farther and farther away
from the coast and finally IL vas
decided that il was no longer
an acute threat 10 that section.

All we can say is there is no
reliable evidence that they are.
If We take the whole round of
moral conduct the average re-
actions of men and women are
about the same. Nearly all
moral codes have been given TO
the world by men teachers and
philosophers. This is probably
because nearly all the great
thinkers and geniuses have been
men. In making these codes,
however, men have been strongly
influenced by women's functions
and needs. There is no evidence,
however, that women naturally
follow these moral codes better
than men.
