 TWENTY FIRST BOMBER COMMAND, GUAM. March 12-- Another great fleet of American B-29's turned Nagoya, Japan's third largest city and the Empires most important aircraft production center, into an inferno today. while fires of Saturdays record raid on Tokyo were still smouldering.
 The weather was clear, as when Tokyo was raided, and returning crewmen reported immense de- struction appeared certain.
 Some 300 big bombers, about the same number as raided Tokyo 48 hours earlier, swarmed over crowded Nagoya shortly after midnight.
 It was another low-level, all-in- cendiary raid and bombs were dropped as over Tokyo at an ele- vation of around 5000 feet.
 Superfortresses usually bomb at higher levels.
 Fire bombs were scattered over Nagoya.
 The raid on Nagoya was most successful and pilots said results of the strike on Tokyo, 48 hours pre- viously, were discernable. The Tokyo raiders again said they started fires raging and converted five-square- mile area into a hellish inferno.
 Results of Saturdays fires were still discernable and ruins were still smoking.

The W ashila ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON 0t Col. Robert 8. Allen nov on active service with the lrmy.,

WASHINGTON-Ths manner in which the Nazis hay; been treat ing American prisoners recalls an experience I had with German prisoners last summer.
 We were cutting corn to fill the silo. It was late in the season, labor was almost non-existent, and the Farm Bureau had efficiently ar- ranged with Camp Meade, Mary land, for 100 German prisoners to work in patches of 10 on farms in the country, So obtained 10 prisoners to help cut the corn and fill the silo.
 They arrived by truck from Camp Meade, accompanied by one U. s. soldier as guard, slowed their lunches in the shade and went to work. They worked very well, they required little direction, were given few orders, and didn't loaf on the job.
 The guard paid little attention to them, explaining that they worked better if they felt they were not being guarded. He remained around the barn and the silo, while most of the prisoners worked half a mile away in the cornfield. He said that few prisoners had run away, and if they did escape they had no place to go and were easily ap- prehended.
 Having had 100 Bulgar prisoners under me in Serbia just after the last war. I did not disagree with him. had left Bulgar prisoners in groups of five or six in isolated mountain spots where they were rebuilding Serbian houses. com pletely unguarded except for one

Arnold Expeds Future
 Bombs Over U. j.; Report
 Made 10 5e0efaryfo 10 War
By JACK sTINNETT

w MN, AFlai NiA c<O' ernment reports are so frequent around here you have to look sharp to keep from tripping over one. When you do, you generally find that it's something about "Daffodil Growing Since the War Between the States"
 That's one thing that makes the report of Gen. H. H. Hap" Arn- old, commanding general of the Army Air Forces, to the secretary of war and hence to the people of the United States, a rather remarkable document. It's full of interesting and enlightening facts about what our Army air arm has done in this war.
 But more important, I think, Is the conclusions which General Arn- old has reached. I'm not the only one who thinks so. Representatives of the aviation industry here say no one has stated more clearly the practical uses of aviation as po- tential defense force than Gen. Arn- old in this, his second report to the nation.
 Using all his Knowledge gained from the lessons of this global war, General Arnold starts with the pre- mise that it's positive now that air power is the weapon with which fu- ture aggressors will strike first.
 Tn this field" he continues, which the present war has shown to be subject to revolutionary ad- vances, we can only dimly visualize the possibilities of such sudden ac- tion in the future. Our first line of defense must be in the air" The general points out that in the two great world wars, the en- emy has attacked, hoping that the United States wouldn't interfere, and that in each instance, the United States has become the de- termining factor in the defense of civilization.
 ! The next aggressor, the general is positive, won't be dumb enough to overlook that lesson. The next time, he says, The United States will be the first target" There will be no opportunity for gradual mobil- ization as in these two world wars
 That's why he argues that the United States must continues to be the worlds first power in military aviation.
 General Arnold underscores the

KODIAK DIARY

In the January Is issue of the Kodiak Mirror, in this column. we quoted an article by one It. Theobald, published in the New Yorker magazine, in which a trip Theobald made to kodiak was described. (Mrs. Mildred Hermann OPA Territorial di- rector, who was here at the time, asked Did New Yorker really print that or did you just make it up?")
 i We, with our meanie streak to the fore, sent copy of the Diary item to New Yorker.
 A letter came from New
 Yorker this week, thanking us
 for our letter and saying they
 wished to mail a clipping of the article to Lieutenant Theobald.
 And added:
 "So far as we can see, you ac- cuse h m of only two errors of fact; that the base administra-
 tive building isn't right in town
 (but any building for several miles around would probably seem ''in town" to a casual visitorl, and that there aren't any hunting trophies on the walls of the Montmart Maybe the bearskin draped over his booth somehow got multiplied i in his eyes that night "
 ! We give up. As per New l Yorker we admit Kodiak has 1 dirt streets, more than one Orth- odox church, no milk and no women so we get ice cream from the States, soldiers are always giving one another hot foots 1 which is an American custom and dirt road leads to the Chicken Dinner and Mont martre (we won't change our spelling), almost identical frame buildings but the latter can be distinguished by the bear hide, head and all, jaws realistically agape. hanging over booth. That last paragraph was very difficult to type. If you don't
 believe so. try typlng some time with YOUR fingers crossed.

 But the gavel disappearedl Some time before or during the moving of the Rotary Club meetings from the Wayfarer's Building to the Victory Cafe the instrument vanished.

 The new strike at the Hendey company occurred within five days after the workers went back to their jobs. The company had refused ne- gotiations until production was re- stunned, although the workers had accused management of a lockout which lasted more than month.
 Company Vice-President E. G.. Seybold said that management had proposed to the union negotiating committee a seven and one-half percent increase in basic pay rates, a starting wage of 60 cents an hour, with an automatic five cents in- crease within 90 days. Also pro- posed, said Seybold, was creation of a union-management committee to study the incentive system, an in- creased ceiling for overall bonus and a hastening of job classifica- tion.
 Meanwhile, the CIO Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers declared the walkout of 3..s workers at the Plume & Atwood Manufacturing Co.'S Waterbury plant unauthorized. The workers quit in sympathy with 8 strike at the Thomaston division over dismissal of the plant union president.
