Officers said a Filipino told them
that in December, 194l, he saw the
sergeant of a field crash truck point
to one of two bodies recovered in
the crash of bomber and say:
why that's Capt. Kelly"
Capt. Kelly first was reported to

Mount Pleasant Citizens
Fail 10 Block Liquor Permit

Over the protest of Mount Pleas
ant citizens, the Loop Restaurant,
1908 Mount Pleasant street NV, has
been granted a license to sell liquor
by a 2-to-1 vote of the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board. The license
becomes effective February l.
On January IA hearing was held
on the petition of the restaurant for
a license allowing sale of all liquors
Owners of the tavern at that time
produced a petition from their pa
irons backing their request.
Meanwhile, Alan w. Payne, chair
man of the ABC Board, warned all
holders of liquor licenses that the
deadline for renewal is midnight,
January 81.
He said a number of license hold
ers had not made application and
pointed out that once g. license Is
lost, it is impossible to obtain an
other because of the ruling limiting
the number of permits in the Dis
trict. At present, 388 licenses are in
existence, and this figure has to be
reduced to the 300 allowed by law.

New Fighier, Using Jei
And turbine Engines,
Equals Power Of Big
ay the Associated Press.

Ey the ASSOc1aLed FfeSS-
SAN DIEGO, Calf, Jan. 25.-De-
scribed as the worlds most powerful
high-speed long-range fighter-and
the first plane to fly with gas tur-
bine engine designed for propeller
drive and Jet engine in the rear
the XP-8l has been completed by
Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corp.
and now is undergoing flight tests,
the company announced today.
The plane has two complete power
units, a gas turbine in the nose to
drive the four-bladed propeller and
a jet engine in the fuselage behind
the pilot.
With both units it can attain
speeds in excess of 500 miles an
hour and the combined power is
virtually the same as that produced
by all four engines on a B-29 Super
Fortress, the announcement said.
Performance Details Secret.
Performance details are still Sc
cret, but the company said the
plane Is adaptable, not only as a
long-range bomber escort for which
it was primarily designed, but also
as an interceptor fighter. This pre-
sumably means the fighter, when
equipped with disposable external
fuel tanks can cruise in excess of
1000 miles.
Both engines-neither of which
require a warm up-use kerosene.
The company said the plane can
take off on either or both engines.
A large scoop on each side of the
fuselage admits air to the rear jet
engine Air reaches the gas turbine
through a circular duct in the nose
of the plane.
G. E. Builds Both Engines.
General Electric Co., which manu-
factures both engines, described the
turbine engine as being efficient and
economical for long flights and Con-
solidated said it is considering use

Operation Fails TO Help
Italian Boys Damaged Eye
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 25.-Chances
of sight for Gianfranco Cabbia, g.
year-old Italian boy befriended by
American GIs, have virtually dis
appeared.
DR.. Alfred E. Maumenee, acting
directG of the Wilmer Eye Institute
at Johns Hopkins Hospital, said the
bandaaes had been removed from
the boys eyes and that there was
no appreciable increase in light per-
ception.
Gianfranco was blinded in Sep
tember, 1914, by the kick of Ger
man cavalrymans horse. The left
eye was knocked out and the right
one severely damaged.
DR.. Maumenee sad there was al
most no hope that the boys vision
would increase to any appreciable
degree. He added, however, that the
boy would be kept at Hopkins in the
1-in-1 900 chance that continued
care might help him. -

DooIittIe Signs Spaatz
AtFirst ConcIave Of
Newly Formed AFA

Gen. Carl A. "Tooey" Spaatz,
newly appointed head of the Army
Air,Forces, sat between Jimmy Doo-
little and Movie Star James Stewart,
yesterday when they asked him to
join the new Air Forces Association.
Before Gen. Spaatz could answer,
the man who led the first bombing
raid over Tokyo whispered:
"That'll be three dollars, please!"
It was in this friendly fashion
that the Air Forces Association-an
organization intended to foster the
fellowship learned through trial by
fre-had its first conclave yester-
day in the Mayf1ower Hotel with
Mr.. Doolittle, ex-lieutenant general,
presiding.
Most of the Air Force heroes
were in civilian clothes, generals,
colonies, sergeants and privates alike.
Merryl Frost was there. He is the
former sergeant who lost his face
most of tin a burning plane jan
uary l, 1916, wearing a face of plas-
tic and newly grated flesh, he out
shone nearly every man on the field
in the East-West football classic.
After his medical discharge, Mr.
Frost started classes at Dartmouth,
became football team captain and he
looks good.
Jimmie Doolittle, himself former
head of the 9th Air Force, now a
civilian, was surprisingly short and
stocky in multi. The man credited
with having been the founder of
the association, former Maj. Gen.
Edward P. Curtis of Rochester, N
Y, was present, too.
Former 1t Col. Thomas G. Lam
phier, jr., who shot down Americas
arch enemy, Admiral Isoroku va
mamoto, and who now is editor of
paper in Boise, Idaho, was there.
Asked if the association would
Jimmie Doolittle replied:
"If you mean on the question of
whether this country should have
a unified air force, we will definite
ly take a Stand!"
There will be no comparison be-
tween the AFA and other veterans
organizations, former Gen. Doolit-
tle-now vice president of Shell
Oil Co.-said. I'VE will have no
lobbies in Washington, we will only
TRY to sell air power as the best de-
fense for the Nation" he said.
The association has three aims:
To be a non-profit organization, to
seek none of the benefits sought by
existing veterans organizations, and
to follow a policy determined by the
voting members of the organization.
The organization has headquar-
ters at 1903 K street NV.

On Rioting Mobs

BOMBAY, Jan. 25.-police

Grain Shops Looted.
Today's attacks, in addition to
their anti-English trends, were di-
rected against shops owned by the
local colony of Parsees and against
shops owned by Persians. Police
suggested that these attacks might
have been caused by the fact that
the Parsees are the more Euro
peanized" of any Indian group.
Three government grain shops
have been looted and part of the
supplies burned despite a grain
shortage. Two post Offices and a
railway ticket Office also have been
burned.
Kalbadevi road, busy and central
thoroughfare, was the scene of much
OF todays rioting.
Pedestrians along the road were
stripped of neckties and hats by the
demonstrators, because they were
not in keeping with Indian nation
alism.
