BIGGEST B-29 FLEET OF WAR

Fire Raid Follows Naval Bombardment of Tokyo Bay.

By WILLIAM F. TYREE United Press Staff Correspondent

+ GUAM, Friday, July 20] —More than 600 B-29* Superfortresses, following up the greatest fleet surface and air bombardment in history,

showered almost 4000 tons of fire bombs on four Japanese’ industrial cities of Honshu island early today. . The newest and greatest Superfort attack of the war came while Tokyo bay echoed from the crash of American gunfire from a naval squadron which shelled the mouth of the enemy stronghold in a bid to flush out the remnants of Japan's imperial fleet. The huge superfort armada struck a heavy blow at the cities of Hitachi, Choshi, Fukui and Okagaki. In addition, the B-29's pin-point-ed the Nippon Oil Co. north of Osaka with a cargo of high explo- |. sives. : ' Hitachi was bombarded by heavy units of the U. 8. fleet ranging along the Honshu coastline north of Tokyo Tuesday night. “It is the center of the most important industrial area north of Tokyo on Honshu. Earlier a fast, hard-hitting team of cruisers and destroyers, under cover-of a storm; slipped undetected within three to four miles of the] enemy coast. : They opened fire at 11 o'clock last night and continued the attack until early this morning, pouring hundreds of tons of shells into the shore defenses on Nojima cape, on the eastern arm of Tokyo bay. One huge éxplosion was observed. Japanese propagandists said the American-British battle fleet was scouting the Honshu coast for potential invasion spots.

planes were shot down or damaged seriously in the strike, including 82 destroyed and 52 crippled. Fleet Adm. Chester W.

Nimitz gave no details other than the targets were “combatant ship-

Japan's once mighty fleet might be undergoing repairs in the Yokusuka shipyards.

The Wounded You Don't See

By JACK BELL, Times Foreign Correspondent

WENTY-FOUR young Americans lay on stretchers

in the waiting room at Prestwick, Scotland—eager

but strangely quiet. They were alerted, ready to come home. Across the highway a big C-54 plane sat waiting. They had been down to hell and back, those two dozen lads. Their: limbs were gone, broken; their heads mashed in, disfigured; their bodies torn. Some were the wounded you don’t see— those who aren't going to be strong enough soon, if ever, to appear on the streets or go back to the farms. : Quietly hospital evacuation workers went among them to be sure they had their army papers and the few personal belongings they had managed to salvage under thunder of guns. They knew they were going home, but there was no chatter or excitement—outwardly. They had been through too much, were too badly shattered for such joys of anticipation Jack Bell Some, they confessed later, were doubtful about flying. Some—their brains still buzzing as the result of terrible injuries—were as uncertain as small children learning to

walk and think. nnn . nN 8”

BECAUSE of these more serious cases Capt. Alfred’ Ehrlich, of Beverly Hills, Cal, was making the long trip. - Usually only a nurse and hospital technician go along. : The captain appeared in the. doorway. “Let's go,” he said. Attendants loaded the litters into ambulances and carefully drove them over .to the plane. There a long covered ramp had been rolled into place and the men were carried into the plane with no rough, off-balance lifting and jerking of litters, » ~ n ITTERS were anchored firmly on each side of the plane, four high. This left an aisle for the doctor and attendants to work, They were busy from the moment the first litters came aboard. Blankets and pillows were arranged to suit the patients. Drain cans were artanged for boys with wounds still open. Attendants, ship's’ crew and doctor all chatted lightly; talk . tending to reassure the boys that flying the Atlantic is as simple as walking around the block, = Then the engines roared, we taxied to the runway and took off—up through broken clouds out of the rain into sunlight, out’ across the islands, over the hills and rivers and lakes of Northern Ireland and on into the summer night that never grows dark. - Half an hour after we were aloft the strained faces of patients relaxed and some of the boys began to talk as they watched the clouds and landscapes below us. » NM »® ” » » TROUBLE came off Iceland—rain and wind and pockets that shook the ship. Those who had been asleep awakened. The badly wounded became deathly ill and the doctor and his aids were busy every moment—until the pilot found a hole and we ducked onto the cold wind-swept Iceland airstrip. hr Across the field, bundled in arctic wear and blown by the winds, came Red Cross girls, a new nurse and teclinician. The Red Cross girls distributed candy and cigarets and filled the plane with cheerful chatter. : a Capt. Ehrlich took the new nurse and technician in charge

“and they, went to work with dressings, food. changing of sheets and--

: was Gx Ris 1 DON'T like going back up into that rotigh weather,” said a frightened patient. “Couldn't we stay here until it clears?” “I'll get you out of that stuff in 15 minutes,” promised the new pilot as he went forward. He did, too. We whipped off the field, circled once and he struck the plane's nose upward. - It was 11:30 p. m. and almost dark under the clouds, but suddenly we shot up into sunlight. And again spirits rose with the great ship that headed over Greenland for its 12-hour hop to Newfoundland. : - . » » » w ALL THROUGH the long night Capt. Ehrlich or Lt. Kerr was awake watching the men. We ran into twilight—but no darkness—flying up there in the ozone along the Arctic circle. And all night the pilot carefully avoided local storms, so that the men rode quietly. We sat down at Newfoundland in the morning for an hour, took on still another nurse and technician, fed the patients a hot breakfast that was awaiting them when the plane door opened. And then the all-important hop, that five hours into New York—America! Even then the men weren't demonstrative. v The soul-filling joy of coming home was there, but they had lost much of the spontaneity that is the heritage of every American. . You don’t go under cannon fire and come out the same, even when you're not wounded. . . . » = ” 5: " " » ND THESE men were wounded, some pretty badly. The nurse—Lt. Wilhelmina Rogers, of Savannah, Ga.—almost wept as she worked with one lad, helping him to talk again. The head wound had been pretty bad. His memory had gone, and with it the ability to talk, Slowly he was learning again, as a child . . . “This is an airplane. . ..I am going home. . . . I see the clouds. . .. That is Maine below us.” . Slowly he repeated the easy words after her—and it wasn't easy to watch I sat beside another and asked his name. He told me feebly; but he couldn't tell me what outfit he had served with, when

cnnalid

or where he was wounded... He was married, he said, but couldn't

remember his wife's name. He didn’t know if he had children at home. . . . Didn't remember where home was. » » ~ » - » THEY'LL all be home in 4 few short months, all those wounded bally or slightly, Then we of America must steel ourselves for the job of tearing down the war hatreds we built ‘up, caring for the physically wounded who will not be well-ever; caring for the mentally wounded, who are most tragic of all—-and most numerous. Such were my thoughts as we sat down at Mitchel field and a crew casually shifted the litters into ambulances.

Wild and noisy and hilarious are the scenes when a ship pulls into the pler with returning soldiers.” These lads coming off the

plane must have been happy to be home, too.

But the war had been too tough for them. There were no

shouts or chatter. : The ambulance doors closed, drivers briskly drove away.

Official sources believed today they

had caught the Japanese in a feeble propaganda attempt to drive a

war-weary China. ;
