was assigned to bomb the wharves at Rabaul, Over the target they ran into a hail of anti-aircraft fire, but they dumped their bombs on the enemy. McClaren headed to sea to streak for home, but Speir discovered Japanese fighters overtaking them. When one got within 400 yards, he blazed away and the plane sheered off.

The Jap plane wheeled, wobbled and spiraled downward, belching smoke. “F felt mighty scared when I encountered the anti-aircraft fire for the first time,” Speir said. “But I sort of got used to that.” “When I saw that Jap coming our way I didn't have time to be scared. I wanted to fill that baby full of lead. “It's a mighty funny feeling to

OBJECTORS PUT ON USEFUL JOBS

2500 Work on Unfinished CCC Projects; Escape

Persecution of 1918.

WASHINGTON, April 15 (U. P.), —About 2500 conscientious objectors are working exclusively on unfinished civilian conservation corps projects, selective service headquarters disclosed today. They are escaping almost entirely the persecution which dogged objectors of world war 1, who were forced to live in army camp barracks and associate constantly with Thirty conscientious objector camps have been organized in soil conservation, forest fire protection, reforestation and park development projects abandoned since the CCC began to curtail its activities and concentrate on war jobs. All technical aspects of the objeclors’ work is being supervised by the soil conservation and forest

ment and the national park service

religious

phases of camp administration, such as food, clothing and religious

programs. Washington headquarters of the service board, which was organized and financed by the 96 religious sects now represented in conscientious objectors’ camps, indicated, however, that its activities probably would not be confined permanently to abandoned CCC projects. “We are asking ‘that the men can be put on other useful jobs, even dangerous jobs, to relieve human suffering without taking life,” Paul C. French, executive secretary of the board, said.
