Gene Grauer of Miami, told today how the only American plane lost in a raid July 4 on Lae, New Guinea, was knocked out of the sky by a Japanese Zero fighter whose pilot apparently was already dead. "Our tail gunner, Private Pat Norton of Hartford, 111., had poured about 100 rounds into the Zero's left wing and cockpit," said Grauer, navigator aboard a medium bomber which participated in the raid. ''The Zero seemed to jerk downward and the pilot to jerk upward.

Then the pilot slumped down at the controls.

I guess the last plane either didn't see the Zero or didn't have time to get out of the way. "The Zero dived straight, into the fuselage and cut clean through the tail. "The Zero itself was smashed to pieces. The bomber kept on its course for a few seconds and then, after a wobble, went into a spin and plunged into the sea." There has been at least one previous instance in which a Zero, with its pilot, apparently dead, headed into an American bomber but that time the bomber pilot dodged it without four dead, two wounded and 40 1 Japs Believed Obtaining Oil From Borneo-Seized Fields Properties Declared Among Chief Prizes Because Product Is Available for Quick Use BY CJEORCE AVELLER Chlco Daily News Foreign Servic R.A.F.

Wilder, pilot of one plane in the raid, said in an interview here today that volunteer substitutes had offered $100 and $150 for places in the planes. ALL WILD TO GO "Every member of the original crew as well as the substitutes were volunteers and all were wild to go," he said. Each member had the right to withdraw any time up to the actual take-off, he explained. "But it -was the grandest show I ever saw, much less participated in, and I wouldn't have missed it for $1500 as badly as I could use a few extra bucks," he said. BID FOR PLACES "On the morning we began making preparations for the take-off it was found that not one of the original crews had reported sick or given any other sort of an excuse for not making the trip.

The substitutes were a plenty sick lot," he "They began bidding for places as members of the ships that were to do the bombing. Some offered $100 and others ran the price up to $150 in an attempt to get a spot in the planes," he said. 'Now's Time to Bomb Tokyo Again China Author Says PORTLAND (Or.) July 13.

Thomas Tchou declared here today. China Paper Calls for Second Front CHUNGKING, July 13. OP) China's leading newspaper, Ta Rung Pao, appealed to the United States today to open a second front against Germany in Europe, start a naval offensive against Japan and use her air forces both in Purope and Asia, asserting that "only an American offensive can bring about a successful conclusion of the war." The newspaper said the talk of a second front, recalled the Chinese saying: "There is plenty of noise on the staircase, but nobody comes down." The Dutch and British depend suitable for the fleet's use, it is nounced today. The Japanese, who took the island near the Fukien seaport only on Thursday, were forced on Saturday to flee their ships, leaving behind 300 casualties and considerable quantities of supplies. The Chinese counterattack lasted a night and a day.

VEXCHOW PERIL GROWS I Meanwhile the threat to Wen-chow, the other of the two principal ports still in Chinese hands, continued acute, with the Japanese pressingfierce engagements to the northwest in a drive from Lishui, Southeastern Chekiang air base. The Japanese have captured Tsingtien, only 22 miles to the northwest, and have occupied Juian, 13 miles southwest of Wenehow. Chinese accounts from the Chekiang battle front were greatly delayed, however. The latest advices covered the situation only up to Friday night. (The Japanese said they occupied AVen-chow Saturday night and Sunday morning.) JAPS ESCAPE TRAP In Kiangsi Province to the northwest, part of a Japanese force of 30,000 reported trapped last week when it started a new offensive westward toward Hunan Trovince was admitted to have broken the Chinese cordon when Japanese air forces came to the aid of the cornered units.

Many of the Japanese, surrounded near the east bank of the Kan River on July 11, pierced the encirclement the next morning after an all-night battle and fled to the east, the communique said, but the remainder were reported still trapped. CHINESE ATTACKING Meanwhile, Chinese who pursued the units fleeing to the neighborhood of Linchwan 45 miles southeast of Nanchang, were 'con inuing their relentless attacks," the high command declared. Japanese southeast of Linchwan previously had been driven back from Nancheng. For the second consecutive day Lieut. Gen.
