It was stressed in the first two American communiques and in the British air ministry communique that the raids were carried out just over the ground "hedge hopping." Such expressions as "zero altitude," "very low level, and "minimum altitude" were used - Bombs were see burstinc en hangars and administration bulldmgs at three airdromes and at least one enemy fighter plane was set afire on the ground. The damage was de clared to be "considerable. At one point 150 German air men in flying suits were caught flatf ooted, lined up as if on payday parade. "Casualties among personnel were observed at Alkamaar, Val kenburg and Hamstede," the American communique said. The payday queue at Ham- stede scattered in all directions under heavy machine-gun fire frohi the speedy Bostons. It was while hedge-hopping at near zero . altitude ' that Captain Kegelman's plane ran afoul of the enemy flak and then he displayed 'superior airmanship and extra ordinary gallantry and coolness in saving the lives of his crew." One propeller and the star board nose of his plane were shot away, bullets clipped bis tail section and one engine caught fire. The plane plowed into the earth, knocking a large hole in the bot tom of the fuselage and damaging the starboard wing. Captain Kegelman recovered control after passing , the target area on one engine, but found himself running into Intense flak fired from a tower. He dove directly at the tower with front guns firing, and the flak was silenced. Then he flew home without , further incident on the one remaining engine, the flames in the other having died out en- route. The formation of the attack was described as "tree-top Aus- ' burg style. , Air Marshal A. T. Harris, com mander of the British bomber command, quickly offered his con gratulations in a? letter to the .

Pilot Held Responsible WASHINGTON, July -JP) The house committee on investi gation of air accidents declared Saturday the crash of a Trans- conunenuu ana western passen ger plane near Las Vegas, Nev. January 16, in which Carole Lom bard, and 21 others were killed, was due to the negligence of Cap tain wayne Williams, the pilot In a report prepared for sub mission to congress, the commit' tee said- investigations showed that Williams failed to follow the established course between Las Vegas and Los Angeles, the des tination of the night flight, and that he flew the plane at such a low altitude that If collided with Potosi peak of the Spring moun tain range near Las Vegas. ' Alien Labor Report Made In reply to a telegram from Herman E. Lafky as department commander of the VFW, US Sen ator Charles E.

For a period of several days, he flew en every bombing mission against the Japs. Some of these lasted 12 to 14 hours," Kuter added. "On various occasions he was a co-pilot, squadron leader, a navi gator and now and then a very deadly gunner with his fingers on 50-calibre machine gun. He carefully acknowledged the or ders of bis superiors to conserve his strength and went on more missions Just the same."

The dispute over the regular bill is chiefly one of farm price policy. , President Roosevelt stepped into the situation Friday by denounc ing what he called "pressure group tactics.''
