2nd Lt. Carl Gies Returns
Safely To Base After
Forcing Enemy Down-
Br Clark Ln
Manila, Dec. 19 W) The
roster of American air heroes
is growing daily as these stout
young pilots add to the list of
70 Japanese planes already offi
cially announced as destroyed
in fighting for the Philippines.
The hara kari complex of the
Japanese pilots, a development
of the Samurai suicide psychosis,
has been more than matched by
the cool courage of the Ameri
can airmen who are fighting
against numerical odds to hold
one of the most Important of
allied strongholds.
Kelly First
Most of the time, Americans
live through their cloud battles
under the semi-tropical sun.
Sometimes they do not. Capt.
Colin P. Kelly, Jr., 26, Madison.
Fla. was one of the first to die,
in seriously damaging and caus
ing the subsequent sinking of
the Japanese battleship Haruna.
Another who has given his life
was Lieut. Samuel H. Merett,
26, Atlanta, who led his squad
ron in an attack on Japanese
naval transports attempting to
land troops on Luzon. Two
enemy vessels burst into flame
as Meritt and his companions
dropped their bombs and fol
lowed with low-level strafing
attacks. In the final dive, Meritt
flew his plane squarely Into the
side of a third Japanese trans
port, which blew up.
Ohioan Successful
Lieut. Jack D. Dale, 25. Wll
loughby, Ohio, repeatedly at
tacked another group of Jap
anese transports, silencing their
anti-aircraft weapons with ma
chine gun fire which drove the
crews to cover and smashed the
Japanese guns. Dale then dived
upon the enemy landing barges,
causing heavy casualties among
the Japanese troops attempting
to reach the shore through the
surf. He was unhurt.
Second Lieut. Carl Gies, 26,
Salem, Ore., went aloft to pro
tect his home field from an
anticipated attack. In the air
he received radio notice that
another American base, 20 miles
away, was under attack. Gies
raced to the scene and dived
through low lying clouds into
a group of 20 enemy planes and
forced one down. Gies returned
safely although his plane was
badly damaged.

EASE RESTRICTION
UPON ALIEN IAPS
Spokane, Dec. 19. (IP) U. S.
District Attorney Lyel Keith
said today he was advised the
secretary of the treasury had
issued a general permit allowing
Japanese aliens who have re
sided in the United States since
before June, 1940, to resume
ordinary business. '
Under the license Japanese
who represent nationals outside
the United Sla'es or the Jap
anese government will not be
allowed to do business, nor will
any Japanese be permitted to
engage in banking, shipping or
some other businesses, he said.
"The license is set up so that
it will be difficult if not impos
sible for Japanese to deplete
tneir assets in this country, he
said. "But it will give them a
chance to make a living."

War Correspondent Says
Death By Freezing Con
stant Danger in Steppes.
By Henry C. Caasldy
With the Red Army on the
Moscow Front, Dec. 19. (AP)
Spend a couple of nights out on
the Russian steppes suffering
wind, snow and cold and you
have an idea what the Germans
are up against on the eastern
front.
I have Just been through two
such nights.
The elements at their wildest.
whining and moaning weirdly
ol. the broad plains, broken here
and there by stark forest, strike
every living thing exposed to
them and make death by freez
ing an ever-present danger. That
is one of the important reasons
why the Germans are now fall
ing back from advanced posi
tions near Moscow and seeking
winter quarters.
Full Effect In Open
You have no conception of the
violence of this Russian winter
as you drive out of the towns
and villages where the Soviet
troops keep warm in well-equipped
quarters.
It is only when you get Into
the open where the Germans
have been forced to seek shelter
in the forests or in shattered set
tlements that you feel the full
effect.
Then you see that the greatest
invader, whether he be a Na
poleon or a Hitler, met In this
weather a foe more than worthy
of his mettle.
I noticed the weather as an
interesting natural phenomenon
while riding out of Moscow to
ward the front on a bright,
crisp day. Gradually slate-gray
clouds covered the sky.
Toward nightfall the snow be
gan and suddenly darkness came.
The car ran slower and slower.
The road disappeared under the
drifts. Finally the car lunged
into a ditch settling up to the
hubcaps in snow.
There were no signs of life
anywhere. There was nothing to
do but sit In the car until daybreak.
Paraonal Fee
Then the weather became a
personal foe.
There were six of us in the
car, the Russian driver, a guide,
one Australian, two British cor
respondents and myself. We sat
in cramped quarters straight up
right as much as would German
motorized infantry ln stalled
troop carriers.
Pressing close together to keep
warm we dozed fitfully.
Finally gray morning light fil
tered through the windows. An
drifts came down the road,
army truck plowing through the
Troops heaved us out of the
ditch and broke path to the
highway.
vocal and musical selections and
pantomines.
Two oil paintings, entitled
The Annunciation" and "Star
of the East" by Mrs. Lottie C.
Rogers will be part of the
Christmas decoration and will
be used as a theme ln a panto
mine "Star of the East". Every
boy and girl present will receive
a treat The public la cordially
invited.

Kirby, a White Christmas offer
