Saunders said the South:Pacific was the most difficult operational theater in the world for planes because of ‘the distances between bases, lack of navigational aids and weather conditions. The new Japanése air “field on Munda point in the New Georgia group of the Solomons, north of Guadalcanal, is a new menace to American positions, Saunders said.

The drainage problem also has been brought. to the sttention of Police Chief Beeker and Fire Chief Fulmer. ‘Both have promised Mr. Metz their fullesi co-operation. * While hoth Mr. and Mrs. Metz feel positive that their son’s body is in-the canal, Mr. Metz could see the possibility of foul play. Linked to War Effort
His work with the C. A. A. is tied closely with the war effort and the organization’s operations are confidential and restricted. He believes that there is the possibility that enemy agents might, be holding the boy to secure information vital to the allied cause. ‘He bases part of this assumption on the fact that although the boy's lunch box was found at the canals edge on Dec. 18, the strap: around it: was missing. The following morning, Dec. 19, Mr, Metz found the strap placed in the identical spot where the lunch box had been found. A thorough search the night before had not revealed the strap. He feels it could possibly be a means of sending a message that the boy was nol drowned.

Mr. Metz, himself, found the lunch box, his son carried to school, at the canal's edge at 20th st. Police began dragging for the body. Mr. Metz worked from dawn to dusk for: the next 10.days in co-operation with fellow employees of the C. A. A. 3 ‘Navy - personnel stationed here also searched for a week's time. And a complete stranger, known to the Metz family only as Price, offered to dive in the ice-cold water for the boy. The family refused w permit such action. An from over the country have come letters of sympathy as the story spread. Probably” most pointed is: this excerpt from the letter of Thomas ‘B.
