hollared to him to drop because the
plane was sure to explode any min
ute. Down he went on top Of the
concertina and sure enough the
plane exploded. Fortunately, the
British pilots got out in time. Aft
erwards, the girls kept kidding the
captain about being the man who
hid behind the concertina."
Bombing missions can be pretty
slow work, 1t. Goodwin said, espe-
cially when the fighter escort sticks
pretty close by the bombers. How
ever, one mission that wasn't slow
was an attack on the Borizzo Air
drome In Sicily.
Twenty mine bombers were in
the mission and somewhow we be-
came separated from our P-38 es-
corts," he said. The fax was
pretty thick as We approached the
airdrome. Suddenly. out of the
clouds came about 40 enemy planes.
Some of them were ME-109s and
they started dropping aerial tor
pedoes. We had heard of these,
but it was the first time we had
ever seen them used. We managed
to drop our bombs, and we knocked
of II fighters. Our superior fire
was what saved us, and the ma
jority of us got back safely"
1t. Goodwin was graduated from
Exeter Academy and Harvard Col
lege where he majored in English.
He enlisted in the Army in 194l.

Two Missionaries Tell
OF Seizure by laps
|At Gripsho|m Meeting

Belief that demonstrations of
Christian faith witnessed by Japa-
nese soldiers in China will help to
spread the gospel in Japan was ex-
pressed last night by a Baptist
missionary who returned to this
country last month on the Grips
holm after 30 years service in
China.
Speaking at city-wide Baptist
missionary rally at the First Bap-
tist Church, DR.. J. T.. Williams OF
the Southern Baptist Convention
declared:
I'm every city of size into which
the Japanese have gone, they have
found American missionaries. They
have found that the Chinese peo-
pie have the profoundest respect
and love for them, and they cannot
understand what it Is that makes
these Americans leave their homes
and bury their lives in obscure
places
Both he and DR.. Lewis Hylbert
OF the Northern Baptist Conven-
tion, missionary in China for SO
years and also speaker at the
rally, were arrested by the Japa-

comfortable. Freddy told me he felt
he understood crabs perfectly now
since he had travelled about 10000
miles sidewise like a crab in these
bucket seats
THE closest call had with him
was when we were flying to Italy,
and one OF the prop governors went
out. 1t was getting dark and I was
worried l passed the word back
that We might encounter trouble,
but everybody took it pretty lightly.
The girls went into paroxysms of
laughter at the expression on Capt.
Cullen's face after the other pilot
gave the order to reach for para
chutes. Capt. Cullen was in charge
of the tour, and 1 suppose a para
chute jump wasn't one of the things
he had planned on. However, we
managed to get to our destination
on one motor.
Right after We landed, a Brit
ish Beau1ghter came in and
crashed on the field. Capt. Cullen
rushed over to the burning plane

nese at Shanghai and were ex-
change prisoners on the Gripsholm
Dr.. Hylbert said he was interned
as "a political prisoner"
DR.. Hylbert said "it looked as
though they arrested us because
Of the relief work we were doing
for the Chinese" and both mis-
sionaries noted the apparent be-
lief Of their captors that they were
agents for the American Govern
ment.
Nevertheless, DR.. Williams de-
clared, such scenes as one he de-
scribed of a young preacher grasp
ing hot iron with his bare hand
to show Japanese soldiers he had
no fear OF them will not be erased
He predicted an opportunity after
the war to spread the Christian
message "the like of which has
never been seen before in this
world The gospel will 60 to ia

same as He is of the Chinese and

Jeanne Darnell and Sammy Walsh,
who acted as master of ceremonies.
After picking the company up
we flew to air occupied island base,
where Freddy put on three shows in
one evening to thousands of troops.
1t was funny seeing the island close
up, because you see 1 had bombed it
from the air several times The
desolation and havoc was satisfying
in scientific way, but the destruc-
ton we had caused was not pleasant
Freddy was a lot OF fun to travel
with. 1t always used to make me
laugh when I saw the famous actor
trying to make himself comfortable
in the bucket seats we had on the
bomber. The seats resembled an
ice cream freezer and were as I'M
