STRAFE AT A L01LEVEL Flying At 65 Feet Consid-ered 'Way Up There' Army Airbase.

Philippines, May 22. (Delayed) P) How low is low when a Mitchell bomber crosses a target on a low-level strafing mission? The first time 2nd Lt. Lester Morton, Abelene, went out he was told to "stay on the deck. It's safer there." He crossed the target at something under 65 feet. When he returned to base the squadron leader demanded: "What were you doing 'way up The Mitchells discovered long ago that lack of altitude aids safety in crossing a heavily gunned target for strafing.

Ground guns cannot stay on a plane doing 280 miles an hour at 25 feet. At 100 feet they get a longer period of effective fire. At 200 it increases. "As a matter of fact," Morton said, "at 200 feet you'd be lucky to get through while at 25 you'd be unlucky to get hit at all. Result, the Mitchells practically plow furrows over targets, zooming over trees and buildings, coming down again quickly.

Alti tude even 80 unnecessary feet is daneerous. Fortunately, a Mitchell can stand a lot of beating. While strafing an Indo-China airfield recently Morton's plane hit a tree with the edee ot the left wine and wrinkled the undersurface. The top of the tree came off cleanly and the plane did not lose appreciable flying sDeed. First Lt.

June 2 (IP) Prof. Alex ander Trainin, leading writer for the government newspaper Izvestia, said today that responsibility for the crimes of the Second World War rests on the actual perpetrators of these acts and not on the German people as a whole.

"Of course the German state and German people should suffer and will suffer the political and material consequences of Hitler's aggression and the Hitlerite system of military gansiensm, iramm wium, "hut onlv those actual persons who committed crimes are responsible for the crimes of the war. Foreign observers here regarded the article as vitally significant in appraising the entire Russian attitude toward Germany. Trainin said the war criminals as such would iall into two groups: 1. Those who upset relations between peoples, the planners of in trigue and aggression, organizers of fifth columns and acts oi terror ior the purpose of stirring up international conflicts. 2.

Those who carried out mur der of peaceful citizens, the slaughter and torture of- war prisoners, and the organizers of slave labor. The foremost of the guilty, he said, are Hitler. Heinrich Himmler, Jo seph Goebbels, Reichsmarshal Goer-ing, Franz von Papen, Alfred Rosenberg and Robert Ley; Hitler's proteges in various localities, the leaders of the Fascist parties, the supreme military command, the Ges tapo and stormtroopers.

IN STAND ON VETO C0NTR01S Altitude Stated In New Note Soviet Enters Syrian Situation San Francisco, June 2 (JP) Russia is standing firm on a rigid interpret tation of Big-Five veto controls over United Nations machinery designed to keep world peace.

Ambassador Andrei Gromyko, Soviet delegation chief, handed a new note on the Russian attitude last night to Secretary of State Stet tinius and the chiefs of the British, French and Chinese delegations at the United Nations conference. Contents of the note were not immediately- made known outside the too official circle of the Big Five. It was learned today that when Gromvko rapidly summarized its contents others present gathered that Moscow firmly opposes any re taxation of the veto power and may be objecting even to receipt of a complaint by the Security Council of the projected world organization except when there is unanimous agreement among the big powers. The veto power stands as an overriding right of any of the Big Five nations to forbid any decisive step it may disapprove. While this appeared to intensify differences among the Big Five over how the veto should be applied Britain pressed for a less rigid interpretation Stettinius went ahead nevertheless with plans for trying to speed the conference to conclusion early this month.

It was agreed tentatively tnat the Big-Five should meet at least once a day from now on until the log-jam of conference committee work which has been blocked DrinciDallv by the veto issue is completely broken and all remaining problems are cleared up. In line with this scneauie ine Big-Five were called to another meeting at Stettinius' penthouse headquarters today. The first committee to complete its assigned task was one charged with drafting the preamble, pur poses and principles of the projected world organization. Under the committee statement. armed force could only be used by any member nation in accordance with United Nations principles for international peace and security.

All members or tne organiza tion," the draft says, "shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and secur ity are not endangered." Wants Syrian Trouble cnaea The text of this document, des tined for inclusion in the peace charter after going through other committees to the full conference, became known as Russia entered the situation in Syria with a strong note to France and the other Allies calling for "speedy measures" to end the trouble wnicn nas caused bloodshed in the Levant. Events in Syria and Lebanon, Moscow declared do not cor- resDond to the aims of the United Nations conference taking place in San Francisco, for the creation of an organization to insure peace and security." The Syrian crisis is a prime suo- ject of conference interest because it is tne type oi siiuauon wiin which the projected United Nations League doubtless would have to deal in future years. Abates Charges Harrisburg, June 2 (P) Legislation signed by Governor Martin authorizes municipalities to abate unpaid interest charges and penalties on claims for street and sewer improvements due in 1942 and prior to years upon payment of entire face amount, plus filing tees and costs, by December 31, 1945.

theNavy said almost $1,000,000,000 more was spent for airplanes, consumable sup plies, equipment ior we omo the marine landing lorces, uw m. the training of personnel taking part in the action. The bill to the Navy alone of nearly $8,800,000,000 was more man twice as much as the Navy spent in World War I. It does not count any Army ex penses in the Okinawa fighting. The estimates were in a report to the Treasury from the Secretary oi the Navy.

Red R. Gamble, director of the Treasury's War Finance Division, cited them as another example of "where your bond money goes. The entire quota for individual bond-buyers in the 7th War Loan Drive is $7,000,000,000 or less than it cost to build the ships attacking Okinawa alone. The Navy spokesman said in his message: "A single major amphibious opera tion iodav reauires hundreds oi naval vessels battleships, cruisers. aircraft carriers, destroyers and many types of auxiliary and landing craft.
