Recalling the Incident when his ringer linger Itched to spew bul lets Into the Japs, Cadei Kippec said: "We were on a night mission over Buln, In the Solomons, and we were giving It t'j shipping tied up In the harbor. We got a pretty roiigh reception. Anti aircraft wis ripping upward at .us, but there were no Inicrceptor planes. "Kor the reason that it would give fiivcn our position away, I was forbidden to fire my machine gun unless certain circumstances dcwl-jped. The firing would have shown where we Were and the Japs would have been able to fire din-ctly at us instead of blindly, as they were having to do. "liut there we were only about 3500 feet above those ships hurl ing up their pom pom. The guns were flashing below and the crews were visible under our flares. They'd have made good targets. I looked down the sights and thought, 'Oh, boy, for a shot at them.' I guess it was one of the greatest temptations ever set be fore me. What I'd have given to turn loose a few bursts of slugs at those Nippies!" Except for the flashes of the Jap anti-aircraft and the flares of the Americans and the flashes from the bombs they dropped, the battle was fought in comparative darkness. The Japs didn't turn on their searchlights for the same reason the Americans didn't lire their machine guns.

On (mother occasion, returning Irom a raid, the b.mber crew spotted a formation ol six Japa nese Zeros in formation beyond range. Sin-e they were alone, with no other bombers or fighter cralt around, the crew members steeled themselves for a "good scrap," said liippee, but the Zeros elected not to take up the gauntlet. How ever, they did cruise alonr, still out of range, possibly waiting to see If the B-17 might develop trouble. "All at once," said Rippee, "we saw three of them peel off. We I'-oked Over and saw American fighter planes coming in hell-bent for leather, ready to take them on. The other three Zeros still trailed along with us at a respectable dis tance but never did make a move."

Thomas E. Dewey of New York said today In warning of a meat shortage jeopardizing the nation's obligation to feed the starving survivors of a wreck ed world." "No purpose would be served In analyzing the Incredible defi ciencies of the national povern rr.ent in Its 10-year campaign to restrict food production In the United States," the republican governor told the 35th annual gov erners conference. Ileuey C ritical "We are Just now reaping some of the harvest of these policies," he said. "But as a sardonic final touch, we now find that out of the genius of the OPA there was de veloped a theory that it would be a good idea to repeal the natural law of economics that corn and hog prices are tied together." The result, he said, was a ceil ing price on corn of $1.05 at Chi cago while the farmer got $1.45 for the same corn "riht on the farm. Just by throwing it over the fence to his pigs." The meat sitration now, Dewey said, is a "Jumble of paradoxes" because there actually is a live stock population so vast that we never can support it. Competition Seen "Right now in this country our meat animals are eating into the precious food reserves which must be increased if we are even to begin saving the undernourish ed people ol a rescued Europe," ne saia.
