Ralph J. Thcls
! Here was a private in the 2nd Marines—a brown-eyed young-
ster with a nice grin. When he went to the Solomons he probably
was of average height, only now both legs are off above the knees.
This is what Ralph J. Theis, of Ionia, Iu., had to say:
"It's hard to talk to anybody about it—who hasn't been there.
1 When one of the other guys comes along, we start remembering
things.
"Well, we were advancing along a hill. The .laps had started
firing mortars. Something knocked me off my feet. I tried to get
up and start on, but my feet wouldn't move. I looked down, and
I didn't have any feet.
"I didn't feel anything then; the corpsmun came and *ot me.
I couldn't look at my feet, because I wouldn't believe I didn't have
any. One was still hanging, but they cut that off at the dressing
station.
"it's all right; I get low sometimes, but I feel better today.
This morning a fellow came in from the next ward, lie is just
learning to walk on two new legs. Me hasn't any arms, or any
legs, either. He's perfectly cheerful. I thought if he can feel
that way I shouldn't worry. I'll be glad when I can get. up and
do things for myself.

So far, Nolan County has met
all of its quotas and we must
not fail to meet, this one. Our
Uncle Sam and the boys at the

of us can put forth to do this

WASHINGTON, April 17 —
(UP) — American army bomb-
ers carried out a record break-
ing series of 13 devastating at-
tacks on the apanese Aleutians
base of Kiska on Thursday, the
navy announced today .
Many fires and explosions
were set off in the main camp,
and plane runway and hangar
areas.
The navy also reported that
10 instead of eight raids, as pre-
viously announced, were made
on Kiska Wednesday. The Am-
ericans lost on heavy bomber
by enme.v anti-aircraft fire in
Thursday's raids.
Today's communique was the
first to mention hangars. It thus
served to emphasize the extent
to which the Japanese have pro-
gressed in establishing a land-
pla^e base on Kiska.
Thursday's day long assaults
increased to 13' the total attacks
on the island in five consecu-
tive days and raised to 62 the
total far the first half of this
month.

Director Elmer Davis of the

peals for mure planes have "lost

"Final Push On" "Eisenhower
doolittle fliers bombed
japan just one year ago
By United I'itss
The first anniversary of the
American bombing raid on Ja-
pan today recalls one of the
most important events of the
war.
On April 18, 1042. Maj. Gen.
James H. (.Jimmy) Doolittle
(then a colonel) led a group of
SO volunteers who took the Jap-
anse by surprise with an early
afternoon attack on Tokyo, Yok-
ohama, Kobe and Nagoya.
It was and has been a. mili-
tary secret where the American
planes took off from and where
they landed after the raid. Not
one was shot down in the at-
tacks on war plants, shipping
and other -military objectives
from a level so low that Doo-
little said he could "see the ex-
pression on the face of the Jap-
anese."
President Roosevelt later said j
it was "highly destructive" raid j
and the whole American public I
agreed that it was the biggest
boost to home morale and great-
est jar to Japanese morale up
to that point in the war. The
president- said the planes had
been based at "Shangri-La."

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS,
North Africa, April 17—(UP)—
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said
that the allied armed forces
were entering the "climax of the
battle" for Tunisia today as Am-
erican and British airplanes
pounded tlie trapped armies of
Nazi Marshal Erwin Rommel.
On the land fronts encircling
Bizerte and Tunis there was
sharp patrol fighting out in the
air the allied bomber squadrons
struck at Sicilian supply bases—
sinking four mere ships — and
hammered enemv airfields anr'
defense positions in Tunisia in
a lelentless and unceasing offen-
sive.
Eisenhower, summing up the
campaign so far at a press con-
ference, said that:
The American 2d Corps under
Lt, Gen. George S. Patton. jr.,
had performed a vital task in
drawing off 35,000 enemy troops,
including two panzer divisions,
and facilitating the Eighth Ar j
my's drive throuh the Mareth I
line. The Americans captured'

WASHINGTON. April 17 —
(UP) — Amercian submarines
have sunk five more Japanese
ships and damaged two others
in Pacific and Far Eastern wat-
ers. the navy announced today.
Among those sent to the bot-
! torn were a large supply ship,
i two medium sized cargo car-
riers, a large* mine layer and a
[small patrol vessel. The damag-
f ed included a destroyer and a
medium sized transport.
These sinkings raised to 153
: t.he total of Japanese ships sent
| to the bottom since the outbreak
i of war.
It. appeared Saturday that
facts were beginning to catch
up with Victor Nelson, star
witness for the government, and
self-confessed liar and thief, as
Dan Moody chief counsel for
the defense in t!;e Plosser-Prin-
ee Air Academy case, now be-
ing tried in federal district
court in Abilene, pounded him
with questions under cross-ex-
amination.
Nelson admitted that he was
testifying voluntarily in the
hope of saving his own hide and
ward off a term in the peniten-
tiary.
Nelson admitted that he had
paid the hotel bills of a De-
fense Plants Corporation engi-
neer when he paid visits to
Sweetwater, supposedly to
check up on Nelsons work. He
also said that he had made this
engineer a gift of a jewel-stud-
ded belt buckle.
II was brought out in
Nelson's testimony that A.
I{. Hrhacek, only received
the true price for the water
pipe furnished on the job
and that he, Nelson, got Un-
rest of I lie money.
It was developed further that
Nelson had had no direct con
tact with Charles Carpenter,
president of the Archrib Truss
Co. and one of the men indict-
ed in the action
Nelson testified also that lie
had offered to make restitution
to the government of the total
amount of the false claims, out
of monies still owing him on
the Plosser-Prince job by the
Defense Plants Corporation.
The proceedings were made
more interesting during the af-
ternoon when Clyde Eastus, U
S. District attorney, was fined
$5 for conduct unbecoming coun-
sel. The fine was later remitt-
ed when Eastus apologized for
hi.-- actrons.
Moody in an appeal to the I
court made Nelson hand over j
to him for examination a sheet
of yellow memo paper which j
he had been using during recess, J
apparently to refresh his mem- j
ory as to facts in the case. On j
examination it was found that j
it contained the dates anil j
amounts of money involved in ]
the various transactions to |
which Nelson had been testify-
ing.
On conclusion of the cross- J
examination, court was adjour- j
ned until ten o'clock Monday
morning, when further govern-
ment witnesses are scheduled to
testify.
Victor Nelson, contractor on
the initial airport construction
work at Avenger Field, who
pleaded guilty to charges of de-
frauding the government, when
federal district court at Abi-
lene convened Thursday as a
witness for the government Fri-
day admitted frauds totaling
nearly $20,000. and then testified
that most of the money was
paid to Joe I'iosser and Charles
Prince to satisfy their insistent
demands for their share in
helping him get the contract.
Nelson under questioning of a
special prosecutor from the
United States attorney-general's
office in Washington, D. C., re-
lated to the court, his relation-
ship with Plosser anil Prince
from the time they first met,
then later in Washington, when
he secured the contract from
the Defense Plants Corporation
until he left Sweetwater for La-
mesa where he built a glider
school under an arrangement
similar to the one in Sweetwa-
ter.

LONDON, April 17 — (UP) —
More than 600 British bombers
rocked Mannheim and Pilsen
two of Germany's most import-
ant armament centers, last
night with probably the great-
est tonnage of bombs ever drop-
ped in a single night.
First reports indicaten that
the weight of bombs — ranging
from 8,000-pound super block
busters to two-pound incendiar-
ies — exceeded even the 1,500
tons dumped on Germany dur-
ing each of last year's paralyz-
ing 1,000 plane raids.
While the Royal Air Force
pounded Germany from the
west, the Russian air force may
have been bombarding the coun-
try from the east. A German
broadcast reported that north-
eastern Germany was raided
for the fifth time in a week.
The air ministry said the
British raids on Mannheim and
Pilsen constituted the biggest
night operation of the year.

ADVANCED AIR HEAD-
QUARTERS, North Africa, April
17—(UP)—Japan can be defeat-
ed only by attacks on Japan it-
self and American heavy day-
light precision bombers can do
the job, Maj. Gen. James H.
Dootlittle said today in an in-
terview with the United Press
on the eve of the first anniver-
sary of the bombing of Tokyo.
Doolittle, who led the raid on
Tokyo and now commands the
12th Air Force in North Afri-
ca, said that the problem of hit-
ting Japan "is a matter of bas-
es right now."
"But when we have the bases
in China," he continued, "we
can carry om ?'- >s -sgs.I/ist Ja-
pan? it.c istrial a ..-art, y ' is
the only way Japan cai*" be "de-
feated.
"Even if we re-take the whole
Southwestern Pacific, we still
have not defeated Japan."
Doolittle explained that it
takes six tons of gasoline and
bombs for each Flying Fortress
taking part in any bombing op-
eration against Japan.
"It would take 600 tons of
supplies to put 100 Fortresses in
the air over Japan," he pointed
cut. "It is the supply problem
that holds you back."
By United Press
The two surviving cargo ships
of a Japanese convoy that tried
to reinforce the enemy's north
New Guinea base at Wewak fled
today from allisd bombers that
attacked for 24 hours and ac-
counted for at least four vessels.
Before the vessels ran, they
may have succeeded in landing
'supplies, Gen. Douglas MacArth-
ur's communique indicated.

my's chances of beginning an
all-out assault toward Australia,

United States heavy bombers
strongly attacked the big Ger- i
man naval base at Bremen in |
daylight today following a (-00 j
plane RAF raid in which pro-
bably a record tonnage of bombs
was dropped on the Nazi arm-
ament centers of Mannheim and

lost — smashed at the Nazi arms
centers of Mannheim-Ludwigs-

great Czecho - Slovakianskoda
works, with an estimated 1,800
tons of bombs. Hundreds of
four and two-ton block busters

recorded for a single night.
On the Russian front, the
Germans drew thousands of
fresh troops and hundreds of
planes into an attempt to halt
the Soviet offensive in the nor-
