Before we can overwhelm the Reich, we must immobilize the Luftwaffe so that it cannot interfere with our ground troops engaged on a second front. This objective may be attained by wrecking aircraft or by drying up petroleum sources.

If the United Nations can break into Bulgaria and if by then Rumania has surrendered our infantry can march along the Maritsa river to the Rumanian oil fields. Should Berlin prevent the capitulation of her frightened partner, our bombers could utterly destroy these same wells by taking off from the numerous Bulgarian runways between Sofia and the Danube. feelers turn the spotlight once again upon the Balkans. The Germans, disturbed by rumblings of revolt in Bulgaria, have just organized a commission to stamp out food hoarding, sabotage and Communist activities. The turbulent midget kingdom seems remote to the man in the street here in America.

But U. S. flyers back from the Levant declare that fast moving events may shortly bring our soldiers into this territory, which lies across the invasion route from Greece to Central Germany. But to aviators the country of tricky King Boris offers additional tured the water mains, creating a serious problem in sanitation; they burned up fuel supplies; they sank many boats. When the bombers went away for while, after the 29th, Corregidor shook itself and found amazingly that it was not too badly wounded.

Almost everything above ground had been hitsut the damage was quickly patched up, as far as possible, and auxiliary shops were built underground and supplies moved into the tunnels. The trolley line was beyond repair but there were plenty of trucks and gasoline. Not much food had been lost. Only one gun was put out of action and that was quickly repaired. Casualties were relatively low.

The planes came back intermittently until about January 20. Then they moved on south to the air where she has been employed, to pay a visit to her mother, Mrs. Peter Becich, and her sister. Miss Pearl Becich. Mrs.

Jack Grady and son arrived in Lead Friday from Compton, to pay a visit of a month or six weeks to Mrs. Grady's mother, Mrs. Jennie Rcntto, and other relatives and friends. Walter Getsgo, former Lead youth, received a critical head injury late last week in an accident in a copper mine at Butte, according to word received here. He was in an unconscious condition at the time the message was sent.

W. H. Jordan, a former Lead resident, arrived here Monday from Oakland, to visit his sun, Lieut. William Jordan, who has completed his army training at Omaha, and is here on a short furlough before going to Camp Lee, Va. Douglas Elmer Nelson, the 14-months- old son of Mr.

Having picked their targets out they would come back flying in from over the channels, sometimes from the north and sometimes from the south.

Then would come the noise of the bombs falling. The bombs didn't screech or whistle or whine. They sounded like a pile of planks being whirled around in the air by a terrific wind and driven straight down to the ground. The bombs took thirty years to hit While they were falling they changed the dimensions of the world. The noise stripped the eagles from the colonel's shoulders and left him a little boy, naked and afraid.

It drove all the intelligence from the nurse's eyes and left them vacant and staring. It wrapped steel tourniquet of fear around your head, until your skull felt like bursting. It made you realize why man found he needed a God.

Mrs. R. K. Humphryes arrived Chapter IB VKRYBODY called Corregldor the "Rock," and the adjective that seemed to fit it best was "rug-, fed." Corregidor was indeed a nightly fortress. Doubtless it would have been impregnable if the airplane had never been invented.

But airplanes had been Invented, and during January they were over Corregidor for two or three hours almost every day. There was something hideously obscene about those tiny silver planes buzzing around high up against the blue cloudless sky. They were so small, at above 20,000 feet, that they looked as if you could put them in a matchbox. In the intervals when the noise of the last load of bombs had died away, and the planes were out of range of the anti-aircraft and circling for their next run, you could hear the motors plainly. The noise of the motors was deadly and vicious.

You thought of being tied down to slimy tree roots in a muddy jungle, and having a rattlesnake weave his ugly head two inches from your throat, waiting and pick- lng his place to strike. You thought of all the evil nightmares you had ever had. Everbody knew when the planes were coming. First, about seven-thirty in the morning, when the sun was hidden behind the clouds over the mountains in back of Manila, would come the observation plane. It was either "Photograph Joe" in his high-wing monoplane, or the twin-engined, Lockheed monoplane that used to fly right over the island.

Joe would circle over the channel between Corregidor and Bataan and the machine guns would shoot golden tracers all around him. Corregidor had had a foretaste of what was to come later. It was obvious to everyone on the Rock that with enough bombs and enough bombers the island could ihL rioua, -fetdiid, The roar of the explosions was a home Sunday from Denver where she made a brief visit. In Denver she visited with two Lead high school graduates, class of 1943, the Misses Ardith Hall and Mildred Clark. The two girls are employed by the Gates Rubber company.

She also saw Lieut. Donna Gibson, who is on the nursing staff of Fitzsimons hospital. Lieutenant Gibson is a relief from the noise of the falling bombs. You felt the concussion driving against your ears and heard the clatter of collapsing buildings daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

The Japanese evidently reached the same conclusion, for when they next came back in force, from the first of April onward.

They came with scores of dive bombers and heavy bombers and attack planes. They blasted the barbed wire guarding Corregidor's beaches, they knocked out the antiaircraft guns and the big coast defense rifles, they killed our Marines in the trenches along the beaches. Finally, afer a month of pounding, they captured Corregidor. (To Be Continued) (Copyright 1643 by Clark Lee: QJ the heroism.

Suzuki would show the pilots the photographs Joe had taken and give them the weather data and point out their objectives. At abou eleven-thirty the planes would take off and start circling to gain altitude because they had only a short distance to cover and a long way to climb. "Fine weather. Good hunting," Suzuki-san would tell his pilots. Then the siren would sound on Corregidor and the red lights flash on in Malinta tunnel and the crews would run to their posts on the 3-inch anti-aircraft guns and the 50-caliber machine guns, and everybody else would get under cover.

Then the planes would come over, twenty-seven of them or maybe fifty-four. They would crisscross Corregidor without dropping, taking their time, deliberately getting their targets lined up.

Why don't you tell them? Pete OK, I'll try. See that map at the bottom of the ad? See all those lines? They represent railroads. The heavy ones are the Burlington. The light ones are a lot of other railroads, each one serving a particular part of the country.

Joe Notice how the heavy lines are entirely unrounded by the light ones. Pe te Right and that's why you see the can of bo many different railroads in tliis train in every Burlington train.
