‘GUEST’ DOWNS | 3 JAP PLANES
Outstanding American Ace, Only 25, Adds to Laurels
In Pacific War.
By HAROLD ‘GUARD United Press Staff Correspondent AT AN ADVANCED ALLIED AIR BASE, Australian Zone, May 4— Lieut. Col. Boyd D. Wagner made
¥
a flight as “guest pilot” Friday with
American airmen going out in new cannon-firing fighter planes to attack the Japanese bases at Lae and Salamaua, New Guinea. Heé returned a few hours later with three more Japanese navy-o fighters to his credit, shot down in what he called the best dog fight he had ever seen. Also he helped smash a dozen grounded ‘Japanese bombing planes on the Lae airdrome and bomb and machine gun enemy installations and troops ‘at Salamaua.
_ Atlantan Bags One
Lieut, Ben Green, Atlanta, Ga., bagged a fourth Japanese fighter. ‘Col, Wagner at 25. is: the outstanding American ace of tne Southwest Pacific, the * youngest lieutenant colonel in the air corps. He went through the Philippines Yand Java campaigns before he came here. He is from Johnstown, Pa. = Col. Wagner went out “just to see how the boys behaved,” with the “fighting four”’—Lieut.

ton, Pa.; Lieut. G. L. Schrimmer, Memphis, Minn, and Lieut.’ C. Falleta, Marion, Ala.—and others. At Lae airdrome, they found about 12 Japanese planes neatly lined jup. Just Required Seconds
“It was all over in five seconds,” Col. Wagner said. “I know every plane was hit, but we were moving to fast to see how many we destroyed. I glanced back and saw columns of black smoke. We met no opposition. “After leaving Lae we pulled out over a hill and spotted the ground installations at Salamaua. We all made a pass at them. “We saw the Japs running like rats and we all swooped down on them, machine gunning. I don’t think we left much workable at that spot. There was plenty of smoke coming up when we finished. We knocked the whole side out of a building. That took about 10 seconds. 25-Minute Dog Fight
- “We were preparing te return to base when we spotted about a dozen Zeros coming. “‘Let’s have a crack at them, a
. couple of our boys hollered, and
they peeléd off. “The next minute all 12 Zeros were piling on those: two, so we all ‘turned back and joined in. “For 25 minutes we had the best dog fight I ever saw. We chased each other back and forth between Lae and Salamaua, never above 1000 feet, fighting down almost to the water and skimming the treetops. “Ben Green bagged one Zero,
. which curled down to the sea.”

Today's War Moves
By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst
* With May here and ‘Adolf Hitler expected to start his big drive this month, there was renewed discussion over the week-end, not of Hitler's offensive, but of a major one by the allies as soon as possible. This talk came from responsible quarters, both Most prominent of those: expressing their views were Admiral Harold R. Stark, commanding United States naval forces in European ford Cripps, British lord privy. sea, and Ernst Bevin, British minister of labor. All agreed that an attack on Hitler is imperative, but they also
British and American.
said that it must be a carefully calculated —not a hasty, halfhearted stab that would result in failure. Admiral Stark said we must take some risks, but not foolhardy ones. We can't win the war fighting defensively, he said, but “reckless and unprepared action only loses wars.”
‘Strike the Enemy Hard’ “The strategy of calculated risk, in which we strike the enemy and strike him hard, will produce vic-
tory,” he said. Admiral Stark said rising American construction and anti-subma-rine devices soon will end the sub-
-|marine menace in the Atlantic.
Sir Stafford Cripps told the Poles that “the. moment to strike is approaching” and assured them that Poland will be freed. Mr. Bevin said that Britain is working out plans for the attack, that the tide has turned in the matter of equipment, and that the allies can determine when and where to strike. He added: “We will not perform any rash act that might lead to defeat.” Arthur Greenwood, a labor party leader, spoke in similar vein.
Russia Appears Pleased
These and other recent pronouncements on the subject have served to assure the advocates of an early offensive that the matter is being worked out. Recent speeches by Premier Josef V. Stalin and comment in the Russian press have been devoted to praise of the help now being given to Russia. The impression given is that Russia is highly pleased with the results of the heavy British aerial offensive in the west. The R. A. PF. has slowed German war production, hampered the flow of material to the front and tied
waters; Sir Staf-
up an important proportion of German air power in the west. Stalin expressed it in his May day order, calling for final victory in 1942, Now othe newspaper Pravda declares that the offehsive this year will not be Hitler's after all, but Russia's.
USO DRIVE IN STATE
‘The United Service Organizations’ campaign to raise $832,000 in Indiana will open next Monday in 12 Hoosier districts, excluding Indian-
apolis. The drive here will be conducted
fund drive next fall. Indiana’s campaign is a part of the national movement to raise a budget of $32,000,000 which will provide recreational, welfare and social services for men in the armed forces, both in this country and overseas. Designation of May 16- 17 as USO Sabbath was announced today by Frank K. Zoll of Anderson, state campaign director. Mr. Zoll said every rabbi, priest and minister in the state, and nation, is. being mailed a statement relative to the observance. The statement points out that since every church and synagogue has members in the service those at home must stand behind the men in the forces.
