Chief Warns
OF Balloon
Bomb Danger

A warning TO residents of this
area and vacationistS to be on the
lookout for Japanese balloon bombs
was issued today by Police Chief
Martin Lilienthal following the re-
ported finding of at least one such
bomb In Michigan.
The Japanese will undoubtedly
attempt to improve their attack by
manning the balloons with suicide
pilots, he said, and the Army will
appreciate cooperation in spotting,
tracking and recovering bombs.
Important pointers in treatment
tof the balloons was given by Cap
tain Donald s. Leonard, director Of
civilian defense for Michigan In q
directive issued earlier this week.
, ~The public Is warned not to ap-
,proach or touch any device or OBJ
ject resembling a bomb-cafrying
balloon.
The public should be warned not
to touch any detached object which
might be a bomb. These balloons
are designed to release the bombs
before the bags themselves descend
to the ground.
ut Is necessary that such a bal
loon or bomb remain exactly at the
same location and In the same posi-
ton rs found, and that an imme-
date guard be established to pre-
serve and safeguard the physical
evidence. 1t Is essential that the
guards permit no unauthorized per-
sons TO have access to the site Of
the recovery and the guards should
remain at safe distance from the
important as such access might be
balloon or bomb. This Is especially
hazardous and also result in i'm
portant military information or evil
dence being lost.
Persons who discover the balloons
or bombs should be informed to
make no mention of the fact for
publication The purpose of the
restriction is to prevent the jap
anese from obtaining a pattern Of

VISION IN NORTHERN LUZON, P.
I. - For his part in destroying q
Jap artillery piece and neutralizing
enemy ground defenses, Private
First Glass Edward J. Gierwatowski,
member of an MI tank crew, has
been awarded the Bronze Star. His
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley Gier-
watowski live at 2l95 Ninth street.
During the fighting on Luzon,
Gierwatowski and the tank crew
we're under direct fire of a Jap
anti-tank gun. AS they continued
to advance a Nip artillery piece
joined in the assault and shrapnel
ricocheted overhead as the tank
men rumbled along, returning the
fire.
So effective was the firepower of
the MT that the artillery piece was
blasted out of action and the enemy
ground forces crumbled. The heroic
conduct of Gierwatowski and the
remainder of the tank crew under
most difficult and hazardous con-
ditions made possible the success Of
subsequent attacks launched by vet
eran rifle companies.
Entering the Army in Dec, ls41,
Gierwatowski trained at Camp San
