French relates war experience
“American reports concerning enemy planes destroyed are never overestimated,” it was explained by Prof. Roy L. French, director of the School of Journalism, as he spoke to members of the Men’s Faculty club Wednesday, for “no claim is reported unless two or more witnesses can vouch for it.”
Professor French who has recently returned from England where he was a major in the air corps under Lt. Gen. Ira C. Eaker, head of the Eighth Bomber command, was assigned to the briefing and interrogation of bombers crews.
“Briefing,” according to Professor French, “consists of describing to the fighting men, through the use of maps, slides and explicit directions, the operation which is about to take place.” Crews must be told the number of men, leaders, flying formation, bomo-run, release point and many other details before they leave on a mission, he said.

American bombers smack Carolines
AT.I-.TED HEADQUARTERS, South Pacific, Mar. 31—(UJ!)—American navy and army bombers from the southwest Pacific struck their first blows of the war against Truk and Woleai atolls in the Carolines and scored one of their greatest air victories over New Guinea in a series of smashing raids which destroyed at least 172 Japanese planes, it was announced yesterday. •
Woleai is located only 380 miles south of Guam and is 460 miles due west of Truk.
The action by the Catalinas opened the way for two-pronged air attacks against the Japanese-held Caroline islands by planes from the southwest Pacific and the central Pacific.
The communique said that two large fires were started at the Woleai airdrome and intermittent explosions were caused, continuing for a half hour.
Meanwhile, bombers based in the Solomons islands attacked Rabaul, New Britain Monday night and all day Tuesday with 90 tons of bombs being dropped, and returned to strikp again Wednesday in a 95-ton raid, Gen.
Douglas MacArthur’s communique announced.
Two American P-T boats were sunk, possibly by Allied air action Monday near Cape Hoskins, New
Britain island, MacArthur’s bulletin disclosed.
A special communique from Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s headquarters revealed that American Liberator

’ bombers hit Eten island at Truk Wednesday at noon, destroying at
least 54 Japanese planes in a damaging attack which cratered the island with 200 direct hits.
Forty-nine of the enemy planes were destroyed on the ground, and the unescorted force of Liberators fought off 90 Japanese fighters in a 45-minute dogfight which cost the enemy between five and 20 more planes.
One Liberator was lost in the raid, the first against Truk by planes from the southwest Pacific, and the third to be carried out by army based bombers. Truk was earlier bombed by Seventh air force Liberators from the central Pacific.
The special war bulletin declared that 118 Japanese planes were destroyed at Hollandia in northern New Guinea, when a force of Liberators and Lightning fighters swept over the enemy air base Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
Caught like sitting ducks on the Hollandia airstrips, the ‘Japanese planes were blasted by 15,6000 fragmentation bombs which rair i down from the attacking planea

McClung analyzes American thought
“When one sees a nation which sponsors such people as Mae West, .Father Coughlin, Charlie McCarthy, and Huey Long, one is inclined to title this book facetiously the ‘Disappearance’ or ‘Demise of American Thought,’ instead of the Growth of American Thought,’ Dr. Reid L. McClung, dean of the College of Commerce, said yesterday afternoon, reviewing the economic section of this social history written by Merle Curti.
This is not the case, however, for in Dr. Curti’s analysis of the influences which make up our modern society, one’ can see that America is steadily growing Dean Me-Clung added.
The book, the majority of whicn was written by Dr. Curti at the Huntington library, is divided into different periods, beginning with the colonial and ending with the 20th century, the speaker said, and the author traces the social, economic, religious and intellectual influences of each period and their effect on American life.
