The Catalinas drum med through the murky sky hour after hour seeking to re-establish contact with the Jap carriers, then hanging out somewhere in a snowstorm on the face of a cold front below Seguam island.

As might have been expected the ack. ack got him and carried away most of one engine Installation. Another ran Into a formation of Zeros near Egg island and went down In flames. A Catalina sleuthed back and forth through patches and fingers of fog until he found one carrier. Thereafter, he stuck to the enemy like a process server despite the pestering Zeros. He stayed until the ack-ack shot away his rudder and later crashed at sea. Snow and rain compounded the felonious fogs drifting over these cold waters. Crews landed, stoked up with coffee and sandwiches, loaded their tottering battle-worn crates with fresh bombs and gas and took off again into the murk One Catalina maintained contact with the Jap main body for 16 hours before the Zeros drove him off.

'Flying Freighter' Plan Much Discussed (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) of nearly every war agency had something to say about it Air experts are predicting that th time is not far away when huge aircraft will b shuttling the seven seas with men and material for the fighting front.

"Through the decade of the 1930's scores upon scores of crimi nals and hoodlums attempted the 'snatch' racket, with almost con sistent failure. "In case after case, the long arm of the FBI, whose jurisdiction transcends state lines, in coopera tion with local peace officers, flushed th kidnapers from hiding so that just and equitable punisn menu could follow.
