TWENTY FIRST BOMB Err
COMMAND HEADQUARTERS,
Guam, Feb. 10.-A powerful force
of B-29 Super Fortresses-prob-
ably the largest ever to hit Ja-
pan-bombed Tokyo today in
rare good weather"
B-29 pilots returning home
radioed that they had enjoyed
excellent results"
"a Domei broadcast said three
japanese areas were hit and "the
enemys objectives today seemed
to be aircraft factories"
(The main force flew in against
westerly headwind, bombed the
Ota sector, northeast of Tokyo,
for about a half hour and then
sped away with the benefit Of a
tailwind toward the Marianas, 1t
said.
CTwo B-29s penetrated the Sec
tor of Hamamatsu, on the coast
1875 miles southwest of Tokyo, and
a few others dropped explosives
and incendiaries at Tate-Yama,
125 miles northwest of the capi-
tai, the enemy reported.
Saying that results scored by
Japanese air interception units
"are still in the process of being
checked" Domei declared that
damage caused in Ota was
minor, while Tate-Yama and
Hamamatsu sustained negligible
damage.D
The raid, the SID Super Fort at
tack on Japan, was first announced
by the Goth Air Force in Washington.
This was the fifth mass B-29 strike
at the enemy's home islands in Feb
ruary.
Both good weather" and the re-
port OF results from returning planes
while still in flight are very un-
usual" unofficial headquarters
spokemen said.
Results Of such strikes usually are
not reported until photographs have
been examined after the B-29s have
returned to their Marianas bases.
Hence the bombardiers are believed
to have been certain of devastating
hits" today.
The force making this strike was
at least as large as any formation
of B-29s ever sent over Honshu,
main island of Japan, and probably
was larger.
The precise target was not identi-
fed, but was described as an indus
trial objective in the Tokyo area oi
Honshu.
i Japanese fighter opposition wa.
i tevidently confused, since at leas,
seven elements of the Super For.
tresses force radioed their home
bases indicating that fighter oppo-
sition was light.

Compromise in House
On George Bill May
Ease Way for Wallace
Cox Wants Assurance
New Secretary Won't Sit
On Export-Import Bourd
Py the Associated Press

Fy the Associated Press.
The clouded outlook for legis-
lation affecting the Government
future of former Vice President
Henry A. Wallace appeared to
be clearing today.
A sign Of compromise appeared
in the turmoil-ridden House Rules
Committee, now holding the Senate
passed George bill. This measure
divorces the multi-billion- dollar
Reconstruction Finance Corp. and
other loan agencies from the Com
merce Department. Wallace sup
porters concede that he will be re-
jected for Commerce Secretary un-
less the George bill is passed before
the Senate votes on his confirma-
ton.
Representative Cox, Democrat, Of
Georgia, Rules Committee member
and vigorous foe of Mr.. Wallace, in
dicated he would vote to clear the
bill for floor consideration if as
sured the House under normal pro-
cedures can vote on an amendment
depriving the Commerce Secretary
of his seat on the Export Import
Bank Board.
Weigh Unusual Strategy.
This development came as threat
ened shelving Of the bill in the Rules
Committee caused Democratic lead
ers to weigh extraordinary measures
for tossing the legislation on the
House floor, by an unusual pro-
cedure circumventihg the Rules
Committee.
The principal issue in the COM
mittee -revolves about a Republican,
sponsored amendment to the bill by
Senator George, Democrat, OF Geor-
gia stripping President Roosevelt of
his extraordinary war powers to
reshuffle Federal agencies.
The amendment is designed, its
sponsors say, to prevent the Presi-
dent from assigning Mr.. Wallace
any duties other than those of a
trimmed-down Commerce Depart
ment.
Such an amendment would not be
permitted on the floor except by a
special rule changing regular House
procedures, as it would revoke part
of the War Powers Act, not dealt
with in the George bill as passed by
the Senate and unanimously ap-
proved by the House Banking Com
mittee.
Uproarious Session.
Mr.. Cox, most vocal of the Wal
lace opponents in the House, said
he doubted the advisability of alb
rogating the Presidents war powers
as a part of the Wallace fight
Senator George has said his bill
"goes far enough"
With anti Wallace Republicans
and Democrats in control, the Rules
Committee went through an up
roarious session yesterday. Tempers
flared, and Mr.. Cox charged that
there had been a "horse trade" be-
tween the Senate and President
whereby the Senate would not pass
on confirmation of Mr.. Wallace as
Commerce Secretary until RFC Is
divorced from that department.

golf game caused some CONSERVATION

On Oct. 81, the big news came -
the two Cottinghams were only two

Did my return address surprise
you? 1t sure surprised me - could
hardly sit still till 1 looked up Dave.
Went to his barracks but he wasn't
there. He came over in the evening
then and we had a bull session.
4 haven't seen him yet today but
if everything turned out all right

Commenting on his pay and his

a guy who wants to save it. Did
tell you that if l stay out for year,
I'll have well over a thousand dollars
when 1 get out. I'll need it though,

David tells, in his account of his
reunion with Jim, of some slight
difficulty encountered when they
attempted to sit together in the
camp movies. Navy doesn't like
officers and enlisted men to do that

But there their luck ended-if not

Chance in Attitude

The existence OF this change
has been increasingly evident.
Several times Higgins has ex-
pressed resentment over the
necessity of working with 10 or
mere different unions. He COM
planned that time > and time
again men on one part OF a job,
held up by d shortage Of ma
terials or some other factor,
would stand idle, while another
part of the same job would be
shorthanded. He contended that
the men were willing to pitch in
and help. but their union rules
prevented them from doing so.
For this reason. Higgins adj
vanced his proposal of a COM
pany-wide union.
Immediately after the AFL
contract was Cancelled, forma-
ton of an independent union
at Higgins Industries was an
nounced. and the new union
petitioned the National Labor
Relations Board for a plant
wide collective bargaining cleo
ton.
