HIT WITH 90%

Second Raid in Six Weeks

Bares Early Damage; B-24

Liberators Praised. By FRANK TREMAINE United Press Staff Correspondent HEADQUARTERS OF THE HAWAIIAN AIR FORCE, Jan, 27 (Delayed). —A force of B-24 Liberators,

. Taiding Japanese-held Wake Island _ for the second time in six weeks, , dropped 90 per cent of their bombs

on the target area Monday and shot down at least one, and perhaps five,

“of eight intercepting zero fighter

planes, ‘ Col. William Matheny, who led the raid on the night of Dec. 23-24; when 75,000 pounds of bombs were dropped on Japanese installations, also led the second-one. : . He said the scars of the first raid, which marked the first anniversary

of the marines’ gallant stand there, |-

were still visible. The primary purpose of Monday’s raid was reconnaissance, although the Liberators dropped bombs on

. @ number of buildings and blasted

runways of the air field. See Clouds of Smoke

Capt. Philip R. Krieg of Oak Harbor, Wash., navigator on Matheny’s plane, said the bombers were too high to determine the .extent of the ‘damage, but they saw clouds of heavy smoke. Ly TF “We took off before: dawn, returned after dark and had a hell of a navigation problem;” Matheny said. “We encountered accurate anti-aircraft fire this img, although it was still ineffectual.” : The Japanese must have been caught completely by surprise again. Their anti-aircraft guns didn’t open up until the Liberators wese over the target, and the zeros didn’t take off until the raid had started. “We got over Wake at 6 p. m.

Tuesday, Wake time,” Matheny said.

“We stayed over the target 10 minutes, our primary mission being recoinnaissance. :

Split the Formation

We split the formation in several parts, each element attacked one leg of the island. We could see burned areas from the previous raid. It looked like they had had a good going over, | : “I also saw some new construction. From my position, I couldn’t see the anti-aircraft fire during the first run over the island, but I saw puffs in the sky as we turned back.” ona | Pains?

OFFER LIBERTY TO PHILIPPINES

Japs to Reward Any Aid ~ With Independence, Tojo Says.

By UNITED PRESS At the opening of the Japanese diet, Premier Hideki Tojo declared the government ready to grant independence to the Philippines if the islands “collaborated with

Japan in creation of a common prosperity sphere in Greater Eastern Asia,” an Italian broadcast recorded in London said today. Tojo also promised that Burma shall have independence during this year “at the latest.” He said ‘the Tokyo government intends to recognize the creation of a Burma state from the areas “now under jurisdiction of the present administration.” He asked the diet to provide wider powers iri order to better mobilize Japan’s forces and reserves and warned, “until victory is won, we must face discomforts and hardships. The Japanese nation must accustom herself to the simple life.” Tojo said 1943 could be certainly desecxjbed “as a period for decisive battle in which further prerequisites for .certain-victory would be created. He said, “Japan is willing to work in still closer col--laboration with her allies’ offensive operations ‘until the enemy is unable to continue the war.” Tojo called the RooseveltChurchill ' conference at Casablanca, “merely another .act that couldn't influence the general development of the war, but contrarily offered an opportunity for heavy, decisive blows at the AngloAmerican powers.” :

FDR Can Become Short Snorter

LONDON, Jan. 28 (U. PJ).— President Roosevelt has fulfilled all the qualifications necessary to become a member of the Short Snorters’ club, ‘but, speculation arose today about when he would be initiated. The Short Snorters are a fastgrowing organization of anyone who has crossed the ocean by air. To become a member, a traveler has a $1 bill or a 10 shilling note signed by every . Short Snorter present. Then the new member has to buy a round of drinks for the signatories.

RUSS SHATTER A NAZI MYTH

Stalingrad Has Proved to World That the Germans Can Be Whipped.

By DAVID M. NICHOL

MOSCOW, Jan. 28.—The greatest battle in the world’s history now has reached it final stages before Stalingrad. : A Soviet communique announced yesterday the virtually complete liquidation of the force which once consisted of 22 Nazi divisions. The 250,000 picked soldiers which Hitler hurled against the Volga stronghold had now been reduced to 12,000 frozen, hungry men, fighting desperately for their existence. Just as the battle for Britain and the Jugoslavian decision ‘to fight will some day be reckoned as turning points of this war, so the battle of Stalingrad must have a foremost place. It is no defeat ‘‘according to plan,” no retreat to victory Hitler has been soundly defeated and in that defeat lies the shattered myth of German invincibility. The Germans came closer to admitting actual defeat than at any time previously. “It is foolish to believe that a single reverse can break up an army which has been so successfuls previously,” is the general theme of their radio statements. In the light of Nazi policy, it is amazingly evident that they are unable to conceal from the Germans the full extent of the catastrophe,

TO RAISE ‘NOW’ Salaries Low, but Bill for

‘Boost Is Inopportume,

Tyndall Says.

Circumstances surrounding the unexpected introduction and sudden

which would raise salaries of city officials from 25 to 100 per cent remained a mystery today. Mayor Tyndall, who requested that the proposed legislation be withdrawn shortly after it was introduced . yesterday morning by Senator Harry Chamberlin (R. Indianapolis) said the bill had been presented without his knowledge. He added that he thought its pres-

f entation had been “inopportune”

and said he was opposed to its consideration at this time. Members of the city legal department who, from all indications, drew up the bill and handed it to the legislative reference bureau at the state house to be put in final form, were non-committal.

May Be in Order Later

Asked whether he had been previously informed of the measure, Mayor Tyndall replied that he had, but had been under the impression that the proposal was a tentative one only. He said he was of the opinion that most city hall salaries were too low, but declared, “I came here to get a job done, not to ask for a pay raise.” He said he would not support any city pay-raise measure at this time because of the heavy burden of local and federal taxation. : He added that the question of city salary increases may be taken up at a considerably later date.

TAX BOARD SALARY INCREASES SOUGHT

A bill to increase the salaries of the three state tax board members from $4500 to $6000 annually has heen introduced in the senate by Senators Harry ‘O. Chamberlin (R. Indianapolis) and Jack O'Grady (D. Terre Haute). The necessity for raising the tax board members pay was pointed out by Governor Schricker several weeks ago when Henry Murray, the board chairman, resigned to become personnel director of a General Motors Corp. plant at Bedford. : The governor said at that time that the salaries of the tax board members should be equal to those paid the members of the alcoholic ‘beverages and public ‘service commissions. They receive $6000 annually. The bill also provides for an increase of from $3600 to $4200 in the annual salary of the secretary of

the tax board.
