MOSCOW, June 10 (U. P.).—The|
Russian air force, seeking to cripple axis air strength in ‘advance of anticipated ground battles, destroyed or “damaged 150 . to 160 German planes in mass raids on six airdromes Tuesday night, a special communique announced today. Ammunition and fuel stores were
left in flames and hangars were burned out, the communique said. The loss of 21 Russian planes indicated the scale of the assaults. (The raids on German airfields were believed particularly significant

the Luftwaffe has built up a huge force of bombers in Russia to support impending operations. A German communique claimed that 75 out of 100 Russian planes which participated in Soviet attacks on German air bases and supply centers on the central front Tuesday were shot down.)

Letters From the Fighting Fronts—
$500 Bond Is Birthday Gift
From Husband in Pacific
A BIRTHDAY GIFT of a $500 war bond yesterday reached Mrs. Leonard Dorman, 2124 English ave. from her husband, a chief petty officer serving with the Seabees on an island in the South Pacific. Officer Dorman wrote his wife on Feb. 3 telling her he was buying the bond for her birthday. He also said that the men in his outfit had already purchased $50,000 in war bonds. Since he went to the South Pacific in April, 1942, Officer Dorman has sent his wife several souvenirs—a grass skirt, -a picture frame made of shells, and rugs and mats made by the island natives.

‘Chief Petty Officer Leonard Dorman of Indianapolis finds time to practice his marksmanship, In the background, a native boat, hollowed
out of a tree trunk,
A recent letter from Officer Dorman gives civilians an idea of the way America’s fighting men are living and thinking in the outposts
of the world.
“Tonight I saw ‘Brigham Young’ ai the movies,” he wrote, “and
I can’t say I enjoyed it any too well.

acting in it, but it wasn’t the type of picture one really would go to see for the type of relaxation you look for out here so many miles from home. Last night we saw the ‘Ghost Breakers’ with Bob Hope and since it was a good comedy, I enjoyed it very much. “I even took you and Ma and Pa to the show with me tonight. As I started to leave my tent I looked at the picture folder you sent
me and said, ‘Honey, I think you had better go to the show with me tonight’ . . . And you said, ‘O. K. You're the boss, remember?’ .... “It's wonderful what company your picture is to me. For a little while after I got your last mail and you said you were going to get that new picture made and sent to me the following week . .

OFFICER DORMAN has written that the island natives are very friendly and most of them are Catholics. He said the Red Cross has provided ping-pong, billiards and other forms of recreation for them, and the food is very good. He admits that he never felt better in his life. Before entering the navy Offi cer Dorman was a civil engineer employed at the city hall. On the side he operated a ‘cigaret vending business which Mrs. Dor=man is new keeping up. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Dorman of the English ave. address. ; He enlisted in the Seabees Feb. 21, 1942, and less than two months later was on his way overseas. He received his training at Great Lakes naval training station and Springfield, Ill. He is a graduate of Technical high school and Purdue university.
Hitch-Hikes 900 Miles to SeeSonHere
BECAUSE SHE thought the money for fare could be invested better in war bonds, a 45-year-old South Dakota mother hitchhiked 900 miles to Indianapolis to see her soldier son stationed at Ft. Harrison,
She is Mrs. Charles Nordlund of R. R. 3, Lake Preston, S. D,, who made the trip in two days and nine rides. - Her son is Pfc. Clyde Nordlund, and the only boy in her family of five. “I thought if I hitch-hiked I could use the money I saved for war bonds,” she told workers at the Indianapolis Service Men's center, ‘128 W. Wabash st., who located her son for her. One of the volunteers there, Mrs. C. E. Pluess, 618 E. Dr., Woodruff pl., had Mrs. Nordlund stay in her home during her visit here, i
THE NORDLUNDS live on a 400acre farm, “nearly all paid for,” in the same neighborhood as the family of marine ace, Maj. Joe Foss, and they have many mutual friends. Mrs. Nordlund hitch-hiked back to her home, leaving Tuesday. She had to get back to look after the many chickens she is raising. She wouldn't let anybody use gas or autos for her convenience while she was in Indianapolis, taking the bus to the fort to see her son whenever she visited him. » » =
THE NORDLUNDS are hardworking and patriotic. They don't have a radio, but they keep up with the war news in the only way they know—buying bonds, conserving what they have, operating their farm. They lost heavily in the 1934 dust-bowl disaster, when “the dust ‘blew to the top of the fences,” but they're getting back on top again. “I had a feeling my son might be transferred soon,” Mrs. Nordlund said, “so I thought I'd better visit him while I could. He told me if I visited to go to the service men’s center, and I certainly am glad I did. I was treated better than I could imagine.”

LOS ANGELES, June 10 (U.P.) — Field representatives of Nelson Rockefeller, co-ordinator of InterAmerican Affairs, began an investigation today into bloody rioting between servicemen and zoot-suited young hoodlums, many of whom are Mexicéans. Mayor Fletcher Bowron disclosed that Rockefeller’s field representatives here were preparing a report on the fighting, which was subsiding after raging for nearly a week. , Bowron made the disclosure after talking by telephone to the state department at Washington. State
the Mexican embassy at Washington received a report on the riots from the Mexican consulate here.
Committee Named
The mayor did not disclose the nature of his telephone conversation, but said he assured thé state department there was no racial discrimination involved in the violence. . Meanwhile, Gov. Earl Warren of California named a five-man committee to. investigate the fighting, and asked the state attorney general to conduct a similar investigation. : “Without regard to the basic cause of thees: riots,” he said, “they promote disunity, develop race hatred, and create an unwholesome relationship between our men in" arms and the citizenry. “They create doubts of our solidarity in our own minds and bring joy to the hearts of our enemies.”
110 Are Hospitalized
Police records showed 110 men hospitalized with serious injuries since rioting started. They included 92 civilians and 18 service men. They estimated 100— to 150 more were hurt more or less seriously but went to private physicians instead of emergency hospitals to evade police questioning. Bookings at Central jail total 114 —94 civilians and 20 service men. Another 400 were taken in custody and many were being held without
charge until tension eased.

For the first time since service men started out to avenge isolated attacks by the long-haired youths in oversize clothing, the city was
relatively quiet “early today, but repercussions piled up.
Conduct Search
One mob of 150 sailors, soldiers and marines marched through suburban Watts late last night in search of the zoot-suiters who stoned three interurban cars of sailors last night, but found none. Swinging around a corner lustily singing the army air corps song, they were confronted by a squad of shore police, who herded them aboard streetcars and sent them back to the harbor area. Every available military policeman was on duty, and with the entire metropolitan area out of bounds for men under navy jurisdiction, and most of it out of bounds for the army, skirmishes were few.
