By UNITED PRESS Nazi radios broadcast hints today that the Germans may inflict severe punishment on—perhaps execute—American fliers captured in raids on Europe. A brétdcast by the Vichy radio, intercepted by the British Broadcasting Corp., was perhaps the most threatening in tone. Commenting on Japan’s execution of some of the fliers who raided Tokyo last year, the station was ‘quoted: “At an appropriate time, Germany, too, will take necessary reprisal measures in order to reply|as to attacks on German territory.”

After parachuting to safety from

Doolittle counted more than 50 passengers in addition to the dozen who had been on hand in the flight from China. Finally he yelled to Moon: “I hope the hell you know what you're doing.” “There. is a war going on over here,” Moon replied. “You do lots of things you wouldn't do at home —when you have to.” With Doolittle pushed tightly against the cabin door, the plane

- The first planting of green bush beans may go in this week: ‘Plant in rows 18 to 24 inches apart, dropping the seed 2 to 3 inches apart and cover with one inch of soil

Make successive plantings of green bush beans every three weeks from now until the first part of August. Green bush beans will reach maturity in 45 to 55 days.

It’s time to plant the first sweet corn. Plant two seeds in a hill "spacing the hills two feet apart each way.

As soon as the rows of seedlings can be recognized, and even before weeds appear, the space between the rows should be cultivated with a wheel-hoe and knife attachments or a sharp hoe.

For the highest quality and yielding sweet corn, use one of the hybrid cross bantams, such as Golden Cross Bantam, Marcross, Spancross and others. Cultivate close to the plants but shallow to prevent root injury. This destroys the weeds and conserves soil moisture.

; Many of the early seeded crops are of sufficient size now to thin.

After thinning the vegetables |

should be spaced as follows: Beets, 1 to 3 inches; carrots, 1 to 3 inches; lettuce, 1 to. 3 inches; spinach, 2 to 3 inches, and kale, 3 to 5 inches apart in the row.

The plane eluded Japanese patrol craft midway from Chungking, but Doolittle became concerned when he learned that Moon intended to land at Mich’'na. In Chungking he had been informed that the Japanese would reach the airport before nightfall. The report proved correct, as they learned later. Revealing his name but not his mission, Doolittle messaged Moon of the danger ahead, but Moon decided to keep to his course. When they landed, along with two other Douglas transports, they were greeted by more than 5000 refugees, all of whom were trying
