B-29 Mission
Made Without
Loss Oi Plane
By Elton C. Fay
WASHINGTON, July 8 (/P) Jap-
> 1 anese inability to put up effective
defense over some of their most
| vital homeland areas was empha-
1 sized today by airmen studying the
1 latest attack of the United States
fleet of Superfortresses on the
enemy in Asia.
The mission of China-based B-
I 29s which hit five targets, three of
them on the home island of Kyu-
; hsu in a Friday night raid, return-
i ed without loss of aircraft after
encountering only "very weak
fighter opposition and meager an-
ti-aircraft fire.” a communique by
the 20th air force headquarters
said today.
A spawning bed for the Japan-
ese navy and the supply system of
; the enemy's land armies in China
i were hit in the latest operation.
The communique reported that
.Sasebo, Japan's third largest naval
: base, “received the heaviest bomb
| load" of the mission which also
rained destruction Yawata and
! Omura, all three targets being lo-
I cated on Kyushu island at the
1 southern end of the Japanese
I chain. Almost as vital as Sasebo
) to the fleet-building and repair ef-
i forts of the enemy are the steel
producing factories at Yawata and
Omura.
The mission also pounded two
targets in occupied China, Laoya-
o, coal and shipping port or.' the
north China coast and Hankow on
the Yangtze river, 450 miles in
land, which has been bombed of-
ten by Maj. Gen. Claire Chen-
nault’s 14th air force.
Through both of these ports fun-
nel supplies and reinforcements
for the enemy’s columns now at-
tempting to split free China and
seize American air fields.
The absence of substantial op-
position to the attacking force,
military men here suggested, might
indicate among other things that
the important element of surprise
had been attained.
Roiarians Turn Cowboy
To Eai Snyder Barbecue
Al Rotary Ranch Party
Cowboys and cowgirls will take
over Borger today—but look a- |
gain! They’ll really be Rotarians j
and Rotary Anns on their way to
the annual Rotary “round-up" at
John F. Allen's Ranch—five miles
east, then seven miles north.
"It'll be a larrupin’ good time,
pardner," Ed Webster, president,
announced, "and we hope to see
all you Rotarians and your fam-
ilies. But don't forget your cow-
boy duds.” ,
The “cowboy duds" referred b> i
are shirts and levis for Rotarians, j
slacks and hiking shoes for Rotary
Anns.
"My, sech goin's on you've never
seen," Webster continued, with a j
drawl that would put Gene Autrey
to shame. "They'll be baseball,
horseshoes, and contests for you
big fellers, and pony rides for you
youngun’s.”
“Say, interrupted A. M. "Buck
Jones" Minton, “don’t forget to tell
’em about our rip, rul in' rodeo with
all the fancy ridin’ and a cowboy
clown. "Tom Mix” McCullough
will be the announcer, you know."
"And don't leave me and my
barbecue out of this," John Snyder
from Amarillo, added. "I’ve been
here since yesterday afternoon
getting ready to satisfy the appe-
tites of you cowhands.”
Snyder is known as “barbecue
king" in this part of the country.
“Pardners" Webster explained,
“I was a cornin' around to all that
And I was a goin’ to tell the folks I
about the music, entertainment,
and sing-song at the Allen Ranch i
home tonight, with the Burns
Cowboy band and a Rotary quar-
tette.”
“Hi-Ho Silver” a voice suddenly
cried, and up rode Bennie “The
Lone Ranger” Benjamin.
“Howdy, pardner” Ed “Gene
Autrey" Webster greeted,
JOHN SNYDER
just in time to hear me sing my
San Antony Rose.”
Was he kidding? This reporter
didn't wait to see.

Sheriff Lone is a candidate for re-election to a second term and
most of his friends were in hopes that due to his record os Sheriff
in this county he would not have opposition for the second term
because of his efficient and aggressive low enforcement policies
for the past two years. They point out he has been shorthanded in
dupties for the shifting, tronsient population that we have had
here in Hutchinson County of approximately 30,000 people but
A
in spite of this fact he has beeA able to keep heavy law violation
to a minimum under such conditions.
His friends further point out that on such low violations he
is “on 'em and after 'em" at any time, day or night; thot he has
recovered since he hos been in office for the post two yeors ap-
proximately 520,000 of stolen property and has in every respect
cooperated with the Federal agencies and State Agencies in oil
ospets of law enforcement in Hutchinson County, and due to this
enviable record thot he has hod, it is hoped that Sheriff Lone's
friends and those who are interested in his re-election will get out
and assist in re electing him as o reward for his past demonstra
tion and service.
