Pastor Announces
Family's Loss of
3 Sons at Hawaii
NEW LONDON, Wis., Dec. 22
(JP) The Rev. Raymond Fox,
pastor of . the Most Precious
Blood Catholic church, faced his
congregation with unusually
serious mien Sunday morning.
"I have an announcement to
make," he said. "The navy has
informed Mr. and Mrs. Peter
Barber that three of their sons,
Malcolm, Leroy and Randolph,
are "missing in action' since the
Japanese attack on Pearl Har
bor." A dramatic silence deeper than
' the usual quiet of the church
followed the priest's announce
ment. In this manner the news
came to New London that three
of its sons had died for their
country. The Barbers had re
ceived the telegram from the
navy several hours earlier.
"I'm glad they died like men
and could give their lives for
their country," said their father,
a quiet-spoken farmer and
veteran of the last war. "When
their brothers are old enough,
I'm sure they will avenge their
deaths."
The other brothers are Clay
ton, 16, and Robert, 9,' who are
at home.
Formerly, the Sabbath began
at 3 p. m. Saturday, and lasted
until daybreak Monday.

FILIPINO PILOTS
TALK AFTER RAID
MANILA. Dec. 22 (AP)
Scenes at an American airport
in the Philippines where the
dust from a dozen Japanese air
bombs still is settling after a
quick raid:
Filipino pilots remove their
tin hats, brush the dirt from
their uniforms, pour you a glass
of ginger ale, and then display
a magazine article entitled "Ja
pan's Bush League Air Force "
"Hell," says one, "if they're
bush league I am in no hurry
to see the big-timers.'
All had been flat on their
faces except the anti-aircraft
gunners during the brief raid
when several Japanese planes
dived to about 2000 feet with
machine-guns blazing.
As they zoomed away the
bombers eamo over at 30.000
feet and dropped 12 bombs.
None hit the field, hangars, or
other military objectives.
But over on one side soldiers
are extinguishing a small fire
in the cockpit of one plane
which already was partly
wrecked in a raid two weeks
ago.
A shiny sedan drives up to
the communications center
where an American colonel sits.
A Filipino major, graduate of
West Point and commander of
this base, gets out.
"We are lucky today, sir,"
he says, only minor damage,
and no air force personnel hit.
The Japs had a line all right.
m
FUNNY
"II makes nic keep
but a high wind blew the bombs 1
off their marks.
'They sneaked In on us, and
we didn't have a chance to gut
into the air."
The colonel says "they sprang
a new one In this raid a
pseudo-stuka plane. But they
seem to be slow with non-retractable
gear, unable to do
better than 200 miles an hour.
