Nv WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY,


A new form Of night aerial rocket
attacks ut low altitude cut down the
frantic efforts Of the Japanese to
reinforce their garrison and increase
their supplies on Two Jima during
the two weeks before the invasion.
The rocket attacks were described
yesterday at 4 Navy Department
press conference by q former WASH
ingtonian, 1t. Col. Jack r. Cram,
commander Of squadron Of marine
flyers specially formed to carry out
the attacks which harassed and re-
duced enemy shipping.
Col. Cram was connected with the
Civil Aeronautics Board from 1887
to 1910. His sister, Mrs. Eve Wins
ton, lives at 343s Thirty-fourth
place NV. She is the wife of the
head Of the Carey Winston Co., real
estate firm located in the Woodward
Building.
Col. Grams squadron not only ex-
ploded and fired the enemy shipping
with rockets. but when the flyers
turned around to take pictures OF
the results, they dropped photo flash
bombs of 500 ,o00, 600 candle power
which had the effect of binding the
enemy antiaircraft gunners on the
ships for as long as 20 minutes.
This enabled the American fighters
not only to get pictures, but &C.
corded them safety from antiair-
craft fire.
Based on Saipan.
The squadron. vMB 612, based on
Saipar1 in the Mariana Islands, flew
jet-black planes which were vir-
tually impossible to see at night.
The flyers were trained to go in at
attitudes of from 800 to 500 feet,
which, according to Col. Cram,
stumped such Jap fighters as they
encountered. He said the enemy
fighters don't like to fly that close
to the water at night. In many
instances, Col. Cram continued.

During the attack, Sergt. Fitz-
gerald and his doughboys heard a
German officer inside calling fran
tically for artillery support. When
shells began to fall, the Americans
dashed into the pillbox through a
door blown open by bazooka shot
and captured 20 Germans. The
Germans themselves then persuaded
their officer to call halt to the
artillery barrage.
Splicing the German phone lines
into their own communications
system, the Americans reported their
position. This netted them more
captiyes when two German linemen
looking for the break in the line,
were seized. Six other Germans
encountered outside the pillbox on
the, way back also were taken.
The doughboys also reported the
capture" Of a treasure Of cigars,
hundreds Of cigarettes and Is bottles
of wine and schnapps.

woman, this morning.
Police said they had not located
the dead woman's coat and pocket
book, which were not with the body
when 1t was discovered by two couu-
ty employees, head down in the
manhole.
While police think Mrs. T1dllis was
robbed and murdered, they added

later disposed of it.

has not yet been analyzed. They
pointed out that December 81 was

had been bleeding, the blood would
have remained on the ice rather
than on the roadway beneath.
