Mr.. Clapper's death was revealed
in brief Navy Department COM
munique, saying:
THE commander in chief of the
Pacific Fleet has reported that a
plane in which Mr.. Raymond Clap
per was a passenger, engaged in
covering the Marshalls invasion,
collided with another plane while
forming up. Mr.. Clapper was in
the plane with the squadron COM
mander. Both planes crashed in
the lagoon. There were no sur
vivors."
Mr.. Clapper, 81 years old, was a
native of Kansas, having been born
in Linn County May 30, 1892. From

PEARL HARBOR, Feb. 3.-The
four r-day-old American invasion
of the heart of the Marshalls, q
tactical surprise so complete
that a vital air base for bombers
and fighters was captured in less
than a day, threatened the Jap
anese today with imminent loss
of a fine harbor.
The triple-runway airfield at Roi
on the northern end of Kwajalein
Atoll, was overrun Tuesday, the Sec
ond day of invasion and on the same
day that forces went ashore at that
point. The deep anchorage OF
boomerang-shaped Kwajalein Islet
is seriously menaced as the Ameri-
cans close in on the southern end
of Kwajalein Atoll. One third of
the islet already is in American
hands.
The airfield and the anchorage
are the keys to Kwajalein, worlds
largest atoll, thus promising the
Americans investment of all its
more than 30 islets surrounding
65S-square-mile lagoon.
Artillery Support Moves.
The capture of Roi Airfield and
the invasion of Kwajalein Islet were
announced late yesterday by Ad-
miral Chester w. Nimitz. These de-
velopments had been made possible
by initial landings Monday on near
by islets from which artillery was
able to support the larger moves.
The landing on Namur and Kwa-
jalein ISlets brought to at least IL
the number of beachheads estab-
lished about Kwajalein Atoll. Ten
of these were set up on the opening
day of the invasion.
Admiral Nimitz's Wednesday COM
munique made clear that the choice
OF Kwajalein for the invasion scene
had fooled the japanese, who for IS
years had been on the inundated
Marshalls and for long had been
preparing their defense.
Japanese broadcasts of news
in English, beamed to North
America today, refrained from
mention Of the Marshals fighting
for the second straight day.
Parallel lines of eastern and west
ern atolls make up the Marshalls,
with Kwajalein near the center of
the western group. Apparently, the
japanese had looked for an attack
on the eastern group-the chain
facing Hawaii more than 1000 miles
away-or at the southern extremi-

1,1OOAmerican Plane,

Nazi U-Boat Center
Medium Bombers Smash
MiIitury Installations
In Northern France
By the Associate : Press.

LONDON, Feb. Sin a great
American assault on Nazi targets
in Germany and Occupied Eu-
rope 1,100 Fortresses and fight
ers struck the U-boat center of
Wilhelmshaven today and twin
engined Marauders with an Raj
escort bombed military installa-
tionS in Northern France.
Although the weather was clear
and crisp when the heavy armada
left British bases, the Forts ploughed
Through heavy overcast at the climax
of their 700-mile roundtrip and were
forced to bomb through clouds.
The first crews back said they en-
countered few fighters and only
moderate flax and that the weather
became the biggest obstacle as they
neared the Helgoland Blight.
Through breaks in the clouds the
crews saw a heavy smokescreen over
the target area, but it was not be-
l1eved to have affected the accuracy
of their bombing.
Some Hits Seen.
THE group of Forts about 1000
yards ahead dropped bombs and 1
could see some hits right in the
target area through a sudden break
in the overcast" said 1t. Jack S.
Neal, %, of Lexington, KY, a nav
igator. 1--WE dropped our bombs on
the lead ships pattern"
Some bombers climbed to their
highest operational altitude to get
above the clouds for their bomb run.
1t was the sixth operation in
seven days for the British-based
American forces.
Wilhelmshaven was last hit by the
Americans on November with $50
bombers, believed to have been a
record force of four -engined craft
up to that time.
One of Major Ports.
The target is one of Germany's
major ports-capable of accommo-
dating the largest ships.
Hours after the American heavy
bombers had left the smoke and
flames of Wilhelmshaven behind
them, other Allied bombers and
long-range fighters kept streaming
across the Channel in what ap-

We all wish Bobby the best and our loss is the Cadets gain. Don't they make a cute couple-Johnnie "Shy" Gilberto and Peggy "Viva- cious" Russo. But, Peg, what's the idea of having Johnnie leave you last Sunday mite at 2330 and still not being able to get home before O3O0? Are our mathematics poor or could it have been a later date? Remember the 'Atricky" little dark haired nurse? She is now Ensign Percy, U.S.N.R. Ensign Percy is at Portsmouth Naval Hospital for her period of training. No G.I.'s; that is not a picture up in the window of Maintenance Ofice-just Dor othy Fisher looking the situation over. We wish Frances Monahan would hand out her prescription for living as she sure does have plenty of pep, vim, vigor to say nothing about personality. "Scotty" is still loyal to the coast of California. Russ has sent her two miniature planes; wonder if this is to speed her on to the land of sunshine.

SUB-DEPOT NEWS

Since we last went to print, there has been plenty of action at Sub Depot. We have had the honor of be- ing rated the most efficient Sub-De- pot in the First Air Force. Needless to say, we are pretty proud of this. If one tries to keep track of the number of planes going in and out of the hangar, the collection of dia- monds that have lighted the place up, the noisy clang of wedding bells, plus the many new faces that have come into our Sub-Depot, one has a twenty-four hour job.
 We wish Eileen Erwin, formerly of transportation, the best of luck on her new job as. typist over in Supply. Eileen, we will sure miss your quick service and cheery smile. Best wishes to Hilda De Mayo and our congratulations to Fred Prei. As yet they haven't set the date; maybe next week we can have more "info." Those bells we heard at O8OO on 10 February were the wedding bells uniting Margaret Wood and Videon Mccoy. We're sorry to lose Margaret as a nurse but we wish her happiness on her new career.

 It was good to see Sgt. "Jeep" Lavilla in the Orderly Room on Wednesday,. Were you here on busi-, ness, or did you come down for an- other jeep?
 We have heard that Sgt. Bernard Johnson is at present spending most of his time off in Springfield cultivating the friendship of cer- tain platinum blonde by the name of Dottie. Maybe we're wrong; it may not be merely a friendship.
 We note Pvt. Di Mare chasing prisoners by day, and WACs by night. Wouldn't it be nice to be in Lapland where the nights are six months long?
 Congratulations to It. Bartellet- ti. How does the silver feel Lieu- tenant? Maybe those single bars will find mates before long, we hope.
 Of the nine men who left here at 0500 5 January 1914 to go to Cad cts, five have surmounted the first hurdle. They have completed all their tests at Greensboro, N. C., and are now on their way to schools where they will continue their training. Incidentally, in one of the letters received from them, Sharpie Book, "Frank Buck" Brownie and "Smoothie" Estell re- marked on spending two week-ends partaking of the good old sport of golf. It is nice to know that some one is warm, anyway.
