More Reduction in
Pullman Services
In Next Few Weeks
WASHINGTON, July 7 (UP)
Civiliuns, barred from sleeping
cars on train runs of 450 miles or
less, today faced the prospect of
even greater reductions in sleep
ing car accommodations soon.
Furlher cuts in sleeping car use
fur civilians may depend on the
extent to which the 450 mile lim
it, which goes into effect July
15, eliminates conditions which

soldiers to travel long distance
in day coaches.
About 895 additional sleepers
are expected to be available to
the armed services as a result
of the 450-niile order, announced

Whether that additional num

numbers of troops pouring into

ous parts of the country is prob
lematical. LI. S. Air Forces

Winds Found Over
Japan, Says Flier
By REUEL S. 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.
Well Studied
Photo reconnaissance B-29s
flew 17 missions over Japan from
the Marianas before the first
bombing raid on Honshu Nov. 22,
McCarthy revealed. Those early
reconnaissance flights provided
vcather Information as well as
maps and photos.
Weather reconnaissance planes
also make regular flights over
Japan. All planes including the
bombers report weather informa
tion. Between photo and weather
reconnaissance planes and bomb
ers there is hurdly an hour now
without weather reports being
available from directly over
Japan. I
