The USAAF0s newest, fastest and deadliest bomber, the A-26 In- vader, has been taxiied out from behind the secrecy of the hangar door for everybody to see. Last week at the First Air Forces Flor ence Army Air Field in South Carolina, group of aviation writ CTS representing the top-f1ight newspaper and magazine services inspected and rode this tough big brother to the APO and the B-26 in a simulated combat mission which had for it's objective the Wip- ing out of an imaginary Japanese ammunition dump The thirty-six Douglas-built A-26s participating slammed their bombs into the tar get without miss.
 We learned at Florence, one of the four stations which make up the First Air Forces 56th Combat Training Wing, that battle-tested two-men combat crews were being turned out in constant stream and so we'll prepared that tomor- rows headlines are sure to be full of the A-26's exploits.
 Right now the Invader, aside from being Americas fastest bomb CT, also is it's most rugged. Flying under 5000 feet this hopped-up at tack job can spit its exhaust at practically all of the fghter-type aircraft cutting IS" patterns in the sky. During the simulated mission at Florence Army Air Field we watched extremely fast pursuit planes make passes at the attack ing A-26s only to be left behind like putting old men racing for the fast departing 5:15 out of Grand Central Station.
 A twin-engine, midwing bomber of all-metal construction, the A-26 is built for whiz-bang speed and extremely easy manuverability. With it's more than 300 mph ca- pacity it becomes the ideal war plane for low level attack work

Fishermen Want Meat
By LACK ROWLES

Aboard the Schooner Lady of Good Voyage, New York, Feb. Is - U.P0 --- Manuel Bartlo cut Sea Bass down the middle today and said that a man who works night and day in fish up to his beltline wants red meat on the table.
 Bartlo, 52-year-old cook on this fishing vessel, wished the OPA could take voyage with him and find out what he means. Bartlo gets the crews black looks. He spends the red ration points and makes fish choWder, fish hash, broiled and fried sea bass, porgy, hake and weakf1sh
 He gives his boys steak once a week and beef stew four or five times week. The rest of the time he gives them-fish.
 Fishing boat crews who bring the city's seafood to Fulton Fish Mar ket claim the OPA has them by the gills. Each vessel is allowed 300 points for 10 men on 10-day voy- age. That's three points a day a man, or quarter pound of steak.
 The boats owe the chandlerS- grocers to seafarer-red points for provisions long since eaten. The chandlers say they can't keep that up
 There was talk around the docks that the fishing boats wouldn't budge until the OPA provides addi- tional red points.
 A fish handler said it was just talk. They won't stop fishing, but

 But the editor also reported the story of Blevins' bet in the news paper which in turn found its way to the hands of Harry Kris, pro- prietor of the Doghouse Bar, on historic Bottle Alley. in Colon, at the Atlantic end of the Panama Canal.
 Belvins, while he was an Army civilian employee in the Canal Zone, had spent many a pleasant hour with Kris in the Doghouse, and Kris was saddened that his beer-loving friend was faced with 30 mighty thirsty days. Kris could not V-mail him any beer, but he did the next best thing. He sent Blevins an elaborately inscribed certificate of membership in the Doghouse Club, endorsed with the promise of free beer-all he can drink-for the first 30 days after his return to the Isthmus of Panama.
