Upsetting c n e m y defenses,
the Superforts made a feint to
ward Tokyo and then cut north
west to Nagoya, withdrawing
over Kasoya bay after making
their bombing runs.
Wind Slowi B-29
Where bombing runs on
Tokyo were made with the wind
ot great speed over the target,
today's Superforts went into ac
tion in the face of a westerly
wind, slowing their speed and
probably increasing the ac
curacy of their bombing.
The planes also flew 3000 to
4000 feet lower than they did
in the Tokyo raids, flying under
the cirrus cloud layer to avoid
leaving vapor trails.
As Gen. Jinm y Doolittle's
daring raids did more than two
years ago, the B-29s employed
the great Nagoya castle on the
city's highest ground about
seven miles north of the docks
area as a landmark.

In eastern Kentucky, which

New Move Set
To Save Folkes
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 13 (tV)
A new move to save Robert E.
Lee Folkes, 23-year-old negro,
from the lethal gas chamber in
the "Lower 13" murder case
developed here today.
Nicholas Granoff, attorney,
said he had been employed by
a committee of California negro
women who hope to enlist pub
lic support sufficient to prevent
his execution, and, if necessary,
intend to carry the case to the
president of the United States.
Folkes, former dining car
cook, was convicted of killing
Martha Virginia James, 21. of
Norfolk, Va., as she lay in a
lower berth on a Southern Pa
cific limited train in January,
1943. He was sentenced to
death. Both the Oregon state
supreme court and the United
States supreme court refused to
disturb the verdict. He has
been resentenced to death on
January 5. Granoff hopes to ob
tain a rehearing by the U. S.
supreme court.

"We ought to suppress state

adding that they tend "to pro

Republican Representatives

Johnson for criticizing a mem

among the allies, cautioned his
colleagues that "careless words
used on the floor of this house
cost lives just as much as care

Fish, who had returned to his
