Parents of Flyers Express Anxiety For Sons In Raid
Parents of American fliers captured by the Japanese following the bombing raid on Tokyo last April today were torn by anxiety or, in some cases, refused to beleive their sons were the ones who had been executed by the Japanese.
One father, a Kansan, wrathfully declared he wished he were younger so he personally could have a part in exacting vengeance. He feared his son was dead. was replaced by Onieta Tiahui the Hui
Eight of the fliers were listed by the War department as presumably captured by the Japanese. The Japanese confirmed Tokyo's broadcast that "some" of the prisoners have been executed but did not disclose the number or identity.
"I wish I were young so I could do something about it," said Robert A. Spatz at his filling station in Lebo, Kansas, one of the parents interviewed by International News Service. His son, Sgt. Harold A. Spatz, 21, was one of those listed as prisoners of the Japs.
"I've been expecting to hear some bad news about Harold," the elder Spatz declared. "The Red Cross has been trying to get word about him for nearly a year and when they can't find out anything, things aren't so good. I kinda felt my boy was dead."
Spatz said the last time he heard from Harold was in April of last year. The next word he had was a War department notice that his son was either missing in action or a prisoner of war.

General Orders Air Retaliation For Executions
"Remember those comrades when you get a Zero in your sights. Have their sacrifice before you when you line up your bomb sight on a Japanese base." Arnold urged his men.
(International News Service)
"We must not rest, we must redouble our efforts until the inhuman war lords who committed this crime have been utterly destroyed." Gen. Arnold's order read.
Tight-lipped American fliers all over the world today read a special order from General Henry H. Arnold, chief of the army air forces, to utterly destroy the Japanese air forces and to blast Nippon in revenge for the torture and execution of some of the United States airmen after Major General Jimmy Doolittle's air raid on Tokyo a year ago.
The Tokyo radio meanwhile said that any airmen who are forced down over Japan in the future will be executed.
All America seethed with indignation today at Jap atrocities and the fighting-mad Congress crackled with demands for vengeance.

New Cabinet Cuts Drug Costs In Half
Minneapolis, Minn., (ACF) - Development of a modernized hypodermic cabinet cutting in half the cost of drugs used in hospitals and saving two-thirds of the time previously required in preparing hypodermics is announced by Katharine J. Densford, director of the University of Minnesota school of nursing.
The cabinet, designed by the school of nursing in co-operation with the mechanical engineering department, has been in experimental use since 1939 at Miller hospital, St. Paul, and its design will be available immediately throughout the country and for use in war areas.
The multiple-preparation method cuts time required for preparation of hypodermic drugs from 41/2 minutes to 30 seconds, Miss Densford said.
