MOORE WASHINGTON, July 7 (UP) Very high winds over Japan forced changes in plans for bom bardment of the enemy's home islands, Lt. Col. Patrick B. Mc Carthy disclosed today. McCarthy, who flew the first scouting flights over Japan from the Marianas, said winds blowing sometimes at more than 230 miles an hour were discovered during those first reconnaissance flights. While they changed bombing plans, however, they did not af fect the net result, McCarthy. said. 35,000 Feel He said the winds were found at altitudes of 25,000 to 30,000 feet, generally blowing from west to east. The highest velocities 170 to over 230 miles an hour were discovered from Nov. 1 to Feb. 1, he said. In summer the winds blow at around 80 miles an hour. ' These winds continue over Canada and the United States. In winter they would be capable of blowing a Japanese balloon bomb to this country in two days. Mc Carthy said by using the winds a B-29 could easily fly from Guam to Washington.
