That was the report of Harry E.|

Mr. Yockey said that residents of east believe air raids will come ‘this summer, more likely from the orth than from the coast. The eastern coast is well protected with terceptor planes and balloons and

inted out that the coast guard is head to warn of the approach of nemy planes for a ditsance of everal hundred miles. . Investigating Philadelphia's OCD setup, Mr. Yockey said that oil drums, filled with water for tank ps, are placed in each block and hat air raid shelters are scattered all over the city. In Washington Mr. Yockey found

that some of the standard OCD

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Australia, June 25 (U, P.).—The small U. 8. airforce in the Philippines, totaling only 107 usable planes, was smashed by overwhelming enemy strength and not because of “faulty Judgment” on the part of its com-

ton, Gen. Douglas MacArthur said today. MacArthur's defense of Brereton revealed for the first time the size of the air force which feught the losing Philippines battle against the invading Japanese. MacArthur said his statement was occasioned by attacks on Brereton which did the air commander .a “grave injustice.” Specific origin of the criticism was not given but it was understood to haye been published recently in the United States. Brereton, now commander of U. S. middle eastern forces, had only 35 heavy hombers, 72 fighters, a few trainers and some , obsolete planes

MacArthur Defends Brereton Air Strategy in Philippines

at the time of Parl Harbor, MacArthur said. The entire Philippines command, he added, was on a “full war basis” two weeks before the war started and Brereton warned his men the day before Pearl Harbor that war was imminent. Four squadrons of the fighters were in the air and the fifth and last was taking on gas to oppose enemy bombers at Clark field when the airdrome was attacked, MacArthur said. “At this time and during succeeding days, a - number of airplanes were destroyed on the ground while landing for gas or while down for essential maintenance,” MacArthur said. “But it was never the result of negligence on the part of Gen. Brereton or his subordinates. His tiny air force was crushed by sheer weight of numbers. Its combat crews fought valiantly but were hopelessly outnumbered.”

SAVED FORREST

General Was in. Fortress Shot Down in June 13

Raid on Kiel.

LONDON, June 25 (U. P.) —Brig, Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, airminded descendant of a confederate cavalry genius, may have parachuted safely from his damaged Flying Fotress when it was shot out of action on the Kiei raid June 13, a fellow airman reported today. Capt. Harry M. Conley of San Francisco, crew member of another fortress, sald he saw eight parachutes blossoming out after Forrest’s plane slipped downward, hit but under control. “I think they were from the general's plane,” Conley said.

Probably Made Prisoner

Forrest, great-grandson and namesake of Tennessee's Civil war cavalry general, and the crew members of the fortress were listed officially as missing. If they reached ground safely, they probably were made prisoners by the Nazis. Twenty-five other forrtesses were lost on the Kiel raid, which turned out to be the greatest air battle U. S. airmen have had over Germany. None of the fliers saw Forrest's plane crasin. Capt. Clifford E. Cole of Effingham, Ill, said the plane, helping lead the way over the target, was attacked by three Nazi fighters. < No. 4 Engine Fired

“They set afire tne number four engine but the pilot (Capt. Harry A. Stirwalt of Spokane, Wash.) held her steady until the bombs were away,” Cole said. “Then it was attacked by four fighters and I saw a pie tail fuselage blown off. e plane had to drop out of formation and
