It was pointed out, however, that a supply of machines is available for un resticted rental, subject only to the right of OPA to recapture rent ed machines should defense needs later require such a move.

LINDSLEY INGLEWOOD, CaLf., june 1—(IP) —The man who led America’s bombers on their destructive sweep over Japan came here today to tell the men who built them how he did it. Brig. Gen. James H. Doolittle, in a noon-hour address to thou sands of North American aircraft workers, said that Shangri-La., mythical land jokingly identified by President Rooseveit as the place whence t h e bombers came, “is right here in this North American plant. This is where our B-25 bombers came from.” The workers, massed on the air field tarmac answered h is statement with burst after burst of Meaning Of Air Raid Warning, Procedure Explained By Tigner In explaining the air raid warn ing procedure, Major Oscar C: Tigner, regional signal officer of the Wilmington Defense area, said Monday “it is essential and vital for New Hanover People to under stand what an air raid warning is and what it is not.” “When a warning is eounded it means that there is a flight of planes approaching at some dis tance from the area in which the warning is sounded. The warning simply means that the planes have been located, and, at the time the warning is sounded, the planes are identified as those of an enemy. “At this time, a first warning is issued to the responsible civilian air raid wardens. It is an ad vance warning, a stand-by. It is not a promise of aerial bombard ment. it means that the responsible leaders charged with civilian de fense have been told that some thing may happen in the particular locale; it may not, but be prepar ed. “This warning, originating from the Wilmington Information Cen ter, is based on information fur nished by a system of instrument locators and civilian observers. It is not an experiment. It is not a system that is being tried out. It is a scientifically operated plan for air defense that has saved the life of England. It means that planes can wait on the ground aleri instead of in the air. It means that one pursuit plane, on the ground, ready to take off, can do the work it would require sixteen to do on air alert or air patrol. “When the pursuit pilot is order ed to take-off, if the situation re quires him to, he will be directed to go to a specific location, elimi nating the need of having sixteen planes patrol aimlessly in the air waiting. “On receipt of word that an un identified flight is approaching a given locale, our Information Cen ter checks to see if they are our ships, or those of the Navy or civi lian airliners.' If, in the process of elimination, there is no identifica tion, the approaching planes are classified as enemy ships. “Pursuit ships are dispatched to intercept them while they are still a very long distance away. The basic plan of interception is to in tercept an enemy mission before he reaches his target. Pursuit ships can and we hope will be dis patched to meet an enemy many miles from the target. If the con tact is made, the enemy will not be seen over the city which is his target. “Other things may happen alter this first warning. The identifica tion* process continuing, may es tablish that it is not an enemy for mation, just as a patrolman, find ing a stranger as he walks his beat, may find that he is not a roboer, but a responsible citizen on legitimate business. The "all clear,” is sounded. “This is not a time t# take chances. This is war. Everything applause sent thundering aginst the drab walls of the big North American assembly building. Doolittle, who came to thank the workers personally for their con tribution to the raid, disclosed fur ther details of the attack. One young American, he recalled, bombed from an altitude of only 900 feet—so low that chunks of his t'.rget flew higher than his airplane' "But 1500 feet was chosen as the bombing altitude,” Me said, “t h e lowest from which we could bomb and still enjoy comparative saiety from our own bomb fragments. He spoke derisively of Japanese claims to having downed nine American ships. ‘Planes were shot dow/i,” thy general said, "possibly nine—but they were not ours. They were Japanese fighters who had the te merity to attack our B-25s. “Our bombers—your bombers— functioned magnificently, he con tinued. "The B-25 was selected for this mission because it was the best airplane in America for that particular job, and that means the best in the world.” Later General Doolittle walked briskly through the plant, pausing occasionally to exchange a word with an aircraft worker. "He’s a great guy,” one of them told a newman. "It makes you feel good to think that the planes you build are being flown by guys like him.” -V Recorder’s Court Revenue Increases By $1,003 In May An increase of $1,003.47 w as shown in Recorder’s court rev enues in May compared with the total for April, according to fig ures released Monday from the of fice of Clerk T. A. Henderson. Collections in May totalled $5, 440.20 against $4,436.73 in April. Collections in March amounted to $4,881.06. Amounts derived from the differ, ent sources in May were: fines, $2,507.40; court costs, $1,838.70; jail fees, $65.10; emergency pension fund, $433.40; state pension fund, $425.35; police pension fund, $100.25, and turn keys, $50. Money collected by fines goes to the school fund. approaching our shores must be challenged and guarded against, it, after the first warning has been sounded, it turns out to be one ot our own planes, that does not make it a ‘fake’ tip or a ‘phony’ alarm. The warning is still real, urgent, and in the exercise of discipline that an aroused and alert people should have, it means that certain prearranged, prescribed steps must be taken. They should be taken without question and without dis cussion because they affect the common good, the defense of the entire community. “If it is an enemy formation that has been located, it may be very far from our shores. We do not know in which direction it will turn. It may head north, or it may head south, ignoring what seemed to be the original target. If we are mistaken, if we guess wrong, the wai%ng will quickly be followed by an “all clear.” Major Tigner presents thi* ex planation in the hope that it will enable the people to understand why there may be many warnings. Berlin had three • the first day of war, London had twelve. They are warnings that some thing may happen. They are not promises. Every citizen has a pat riotic duty, for himself and his country, to carry out orders that are the result of these warnings, no matter how many there.are, no matter if he never sees an enemy plane. For after all, seeing, no enemy plane is the best breathe can get, the maior added.
