the bay front, this correspondent
watched squadron after squad
ron of the silver-winged twin
engined bombers attack the un
defended city in a leisurely raid
which lasted for three hours and
17 minutes.
Shipping Attacked
All their targets were In a
half-mile radius around the hotel
where several hundred Ameri
cans and Britons were sheltered.
For the first two and a half
hours, the Japanese attacked the
harbors and piers. They came
in circling waves in groups of
nine, then nine more, another
nine, then eight and finally
seven, picking one target after
another and going back to it if
they missed the first time.
After several attempts, they
scored direct hits on two freight
ers about 3000 tons each an
chored off the piers.
These two ships, the last siz
able, ocean-going vessels in Man
ila, sank within an hour. One
capsized. The other slowly set
tled. It was not known whether
there were any persons aboard.
The planes then attacked the
piers themselves, causing heavy
damage and sinking four Philip
pine government coast guard cut
ters.
Besides the churches and treas
ury, bombs fell squarely on
other government buildings,
fire station and a college.
Flame Spread
Brilliant flames spread up
from the famous old walled city
close to Fort Santiago, which
had not been used for military
purposes for years.
(Tonight, an NBC radio broad
cast from Manila said. Manila
was lit by a moon tinged red
from great fires. The dead and
wounded remained uncounted.)
The college building which
was hit was in the walled city,
Also in this area, bombs dropped
close to a hospital.
A church (identified by the
, NBC broadcaster as the ancient
church of Santo Domingo) was
smashed by one direct hit.
This afternoon's foray by
planes ; which flashed silver
against a cloud-flecked sky was
the longest and heaviest in Man-
' ila's three weeks of war.

flying very low, scored a direct
hit on the Commonwealth build
ing near the Pasig river and
fired a nearby inter-island ship.
These bombings were near
the Escolta, Manila's most prom
inent business street.
Ten persons w e r reported
killed in the Commonwealth
building, and an undetermined
number of firemen died in the
bombed fire station.
So many were the swarms of
Japanese planes that the popu
lace began to feci that the enemy
had turned loose most of its air
power against whatever objec
tives it had chosen.
. Flying in from the north, the
planes first crossed the city in
waves of seven, nine or twelve
each; then headed westward over
Manila bay toward the island
fortress of Corregidor.

Mrs. Laura Goudie Bunnell,
Klamath county pioneer who
died here Tuesday following
lengthy illness, leaves a host of
friends to mourn her passing.
Final rites were held Saturday.
Mrs. Bunnell was born in the
Shetland Isles, Scotland, August
29, 1870. She was 71 years of
age at the time of her passing.
Known affectionately to neigh
bors and her family as "Grand
ma," she led a busy and ener
getic life until her last illness.
The ninth child in a family of
12, she was the daughter of a
sea captain who sailed around
Cape Horn to Australia. On one
trip the captain's ship caught
fire while returning to Scotland
and only three members of the
crew survived, including Mrs.
Bunnell's father.
! Mrs. Bunnell often spoke of
her early girlhood. In the Shet
land Isles the only means of
earning a living was fishing for
the market. The women did all
the work at home and on the
land. A woman's job included
the preparation and spading of
the seed beds, harvesting of the
crops by hand, and threshing
with flails. The only fuel was
peat, dug and hauled by the wo
men. They also knitted all cloth
ing and walked 22 miles to a
trading center where they ex
changed knitted articles for pro
visions. These journeys were
made several times a year, the
women folk knitting while walk
ing.
In 1901, Mrs. Bunnell hauled
and lifted every rock to build an
eight-room house. It was com
pleted the day after she left the
Islands in 1902. She came to the
United States with her brother
in the hopes of improving his
health.
Mrs. Bunnell found work in a
lace factory at Zion City, 111., and
there she was employed for four
years and became acquainted
with Albert C. Bunnell who had
come from Alaska to visit a sister
who was also employed in the
factory. In 1906, they were mar
ried in the house now owned by
Hugh and Dennis O'Connor in
the Lone Pine district. At that
time it was known as the Bun
nell ranch.
On September 19, 1907, a son.
James A., was born; December
16, 1908, a daughter, Lois May;
January 28, 1910, a son, John
Robert, who died April 21, 1924;
on January 23, 1911, quadruplets
were born to Mrs. Bunnell, three
girls and one boy, the babies
dying 12 days after birth.
Mrs. Bunnell resided at Stukel
bridge for 12 years, later selling
8nd moving to the Spring Lake
district in 1927. In July of 1937,
Mr. Bunnell died and since that
time his widow has made her
home with her son, James,
Spring Lake rancher.
On February 12, 1941, Mrs.
Bunnell had the misfortune of
breaking her leg. She was put
in a cast in which she lay for
101 months. She developed ap
pendicitis and was moved to
Klamath Valley hospital where
she passed away.

the inhabitants of St. Pierre and

government would "know how
to restore the status quo'' in the
islands taken over by the Free
French forces of General
Charles dc Gaulle. CBS heard
the broadcast here.
The broadcast called the
islanders "victims of the un
qualifiablo De Gaullist aggres
sion" and assured them that
Marshal Petain "is with them
in heart and soul" during their
"momentary trial."
"Besides," it added, "their
fate is not at all sealed yet. The
American government promptly
and officially blamed the in
itiative taken without its knowl
edge and without its consent."
Three Planes Try
Rescue of Three
Alaskan Fliers
FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Dec.
27 (U.R) A radio message from
Hog river, a mining camp just
south of the Arctic Circle and
nearly 300 miles northwest of
Fairbanks, said last night Tour
planes were engaged in the res
cue of the last of three men
stranded when their plane was
forced down on a small frozen
lake December 18.
Capt. John Cross, veteran
Alaska pilot now with the army
air corps at Ladd field here,
rescued the pile of the strand
ed plane, Archie Ferguson, and
one passenger, Dr. David Hoehn.
Fairbanks physician.
That left Norman Anthony,
Kotzebue, alone since Hoehn's
rescue yesterday. Cross was
joined in the rescue operations
by Don Emmons, flying a com
mercial plane; Burleigh Putnam,
in a civil aeronautics authority
plane; and Clarence Rhode, in
a game commission plane.
Cross had managed to land a
two-place plane beside Fergu
son's ship, and later dropped
emergency rations. But the
army flyer's plane developed
engine trouble, and it appeared
that Rhode's light ship would
be required to make the haz
ardous landing on the frozen
lake.
Examination at Hog river dis
closed Ferguson suffered an arm
fracture; Hoehn was unhurt.
Both men refused to return to
Fairbanks until Anthony was
rescued.

HEED TO WORD
OF
By FRED VANDEHSCHMIDT
Wide World Writer
Nothing can be better for this
nation in these hours than to
digest the invaluable words of
advice and caution of our allies;
words which come from the
depths of their own terrible ex
perience. Hence it is most heartening
to some of us who watched the
beginnings of Armageddon In
England and continental Europe
to see now that Americans are
listening intently and with every
evidence of appreciation to Win
ston Churchill.
In a way it is both presump
tive and superfluous to try to
interpret what Mr. Churchill
says: There is no one today who
can tell his own story more
clearly.
It may, however, be worth
while to point out that in his
speech to congress yesterday and
in his subsequent private discus
sions with our own leaders there
were these strong trends of warn
ing: First, against burying our
heads, ostrich-like, in the sand
and becoming complacent; sec
ond, against rash impatience and
third, against the depths of de
pression and defeatism which are
the invariable results of rude
awakening from either of the
first two courses.
Mr. Churchill knows that two
years ago many of the English
I were complacent although they
I had far less reason to feel that
way than we; the war was not
I very far away from them, al-
though in those days of the tragi
I cally mis-named "Bore war" it
: seemed so to many in England.
; The blow that awakened Eng
; land to what Mr. Churchill call
: ed "our supremo hour" was Dun
I kerque; but this was almost a
year after the war started, where
as our prc-belligerent complac
ency was jarred at the start of
i war by Pearl Harbor.
in case any of us had any
doubt about it, the Japanese gave
us additional proof today that
Mr. Churchill was right to say:
"They (our enemies) will stop
at nothing.'' The little men in
planes which flaunt the crimson
symbol of the rising sun dumped
tun upon ton of explosive into
the open and undefended city of
Manila, where they knew by
constant observation yesterday
that there was not the slightest
chance of opposition.
Possibly to Americans, Mr.
Churchill's caution against im
patience is even more to the
point. In speaking of a long
and a hard war he says, how
ever, that "our peoples would
rather know the truth, somber
though it be."
Then he tells us we must wait
until 19-13 or 1944 to strike the
telling blow, because we are yet
so short of total mobilization. To
strike even then, he goes on,
every effort must be made, noth
ing must be kept back, we must
bend to the task "the whole man
power, brain power, virility,
valor and civic virtue of the
English-speaking world."

AVAILABLE III FSA
Farmstead water facilities for
livestock, home use and garden
Irrigation are available In Klam
ath county through the farm
security administration to
farmers unable to finance these
Improvements through other
sources, according to a report
made by Earl A. Gardner, coun
ty FSA supervisor, 205 Federal
building.
"Wells, pumping equipment,
pipes, and stock water pressure
tanks, and garden sprinklers
are Included in developments
authorized by the department of
agriculture's water facilities
program," Gardner said. "Loans
are made for the average life
of the water facility with in
terest at the rate of three per
cent, and can be established on
a group or cooperative basis."
Adequate stock water is par
ticularly Important on tho
farmstead as farmers ar at
tempting to increase livestock
production to provide food for
defense, it was pointed out.
Equally urgent Is the need for
a good garden to provide need
ed vegetables and fruits for the
FSA live-at-home program,
Gardner said.
It is apparent that water
piped into farm homes is badly
needed in Klamath county as
many homemakers still carry
all the water used In the home,
Gardner' report continued.
The need for meeting most of
the family food needs on the
farm during the present defense
emergency .makes It mandatory
that the housewife be saved
every additional step possible,
he added.
Detailed information as to
water facilities available can be
secured through the county
FSA office. Technical and
engineering assistance Is avail
able through the soil conserva
tion service, where necessary.
