Acreage blackened by the

NEW YORK, July 28 (AP) A B-25 "Billy Mitcholl"
bomber, roaring low across Manhattan from a northwesterly
direction, crashed into tno y?n
State building at 9:49 A. M'.
into an inferno of flam.
Bodies of 12 persons II of them charred beyond recog
nition were recovered. Police and other unofficial estimates
placed the death toll os high as 15. "-
Mayor F. H. La Guardia said an army official at the
Newark airport told him the army bomber was en route from
Bedford, Mass., where it had arrived from Sioux Falls, S. D.,
to Newark. The plane was believed by the army spokesman
to have three passengers, Lt. Col. W. F. Smith Jr., of New
Bedford, Mass., a mechanic identified as Sat. Dimitrivich and
an unidentified naval officer who had "hitch-hiked" a ride.

sunk todav as nearly 1300 U. S.
and British carrier planes battled
through heavy llak and lighter
screens and dealt the third heavy
blow of the week on the broken
and bleeding enemy fleet in the
Inland sea.
Pilots reported that the 29,900
ton battleship Hyuga, a convert
ed warship with a flight deck
for catapulting planes, had been
sunk in the great Japanese naval
base of K u r e, where the
remnants of the mikado's fleet

In order - to bore into their
targets along the Inland sea. the
swarms of allied carrier Dlanes
knocked down scores of Japanese
planes which came out of hiding
ana tried to-, ward off the pre-
invasion blows.
The Hyuca had been rcDorted
damaged in strikes earlier this
week. An Associated Press dis
patch from the fleet did not make
clear it had been sunk today or
in the previous raids.
Three of the first four naval
planes that roared in through a
heavy curtain of flak landed
their half-ton bombs squarely on
warships already hard hit by
raids Tuesday and Wednesday.
Associated Press Correspondent
Richard O'Maliey reported from
the U. S. third fleet.
After the third attack within
a week, Japan was left without
a single heavy warship fit for
action. Admiral Halsey's hard

out 26 warships, including three
battleships, six aircraft carriers
