a THE SHREVEPORT July Fourth Fireworks in Europe THE SHREVEPORT TIMES-MONDAY JULY 6, 1942 YOUR MORNING NEWSPAPER 'MILK-MAN' HELPED U. S. RAID TOKYO "Baby" Thatcher Tells of Delivering Bombs to Enemy By REUEL S. MOORE Washington, July 5 year -old Sgt. David J.

Thatcher used to deliver milk in Billings, but on April 18 he helped deliver high explosives on machine works and steel factories in Tokyo during the raid by U. S. army air forces. His own story of experiences in the raid was released last night by the war department along with the accounts of two fellow-sergeants who served as engineer-gunners. They all had "grandstand seats" in the tail turrets of North American B-25's which out the raid.

All three have the Distinguished cerTied, Flying Cross for their parts in the Tokyo raid. Thatcher was the "baby" among the 80 men, including Brig. Gen. James H. Doolittle, who first carried the war to Japan.

He was a Billings milkman for 18 months before joining the army. "As we let go our first load," he said. "I saw a great column of black smoke and debris shot into the air. I WAS watching for pursuit but at the same time kept my eye on the results and know that every bomb found its mark. Dodged Power Lines Tokyo, we were flyIng so low we had to dodge power lines and tree limbs.

People waved at us in friendly fashion, apparently unaware of our identity." Another Montanan on the road was Sgt. Edward J. Saylor, 23, of Brusett, who enlisted in the army in Spokane in 1939, after working in Wyoming CCC camp. He rode a plane dubbed a "Democracy's Ace in Hole" which lived up to its name by scattering incendiaries over aircraft factories, warehouses and docks in Kobe, tudeter, avoid approaching pursuit at a and low anti- altiaircraft fire, Saylor's plane flew over Kobe at about 2,000 feet. Minutes passed with no sign of opposition.

People and vehicles crowded the streets. Lieut. Donald G. Smith, of Belle Fourche, S. was piloting the plane.

Finally at 1:55 p.m. Smith told Saylor: "Let 'er go, Ses." Saylor felt the plane lift as the bombs dropped. Spread Over Wide Area incendiaries spread over a wide area," he said. "I couldn't see just where our bombs landed, as we were zooming along at about 240 miles per hour, and were well away before the fires could start. But I know we were square over the target with the whole works." Technical Sgt.

Eldred V. Scott, 34, Phoenix, veteran of 12 years service in the army, got a crack at one of the few Japanese fighters which pursued the Americans. Scott's plane roared over at about 2,000 feet to bomb a tank and armament factory. "We had just let go on the tank factory when I saw four streams of tracer bullets shooting up past us, real close," he said. 'I looked down and there he was, coming hard.

I began firing at him and he winged off. I know he was hit. got him. Anyway, he made only one pass at us." Scott's plane encountered heavy anti-aircraft fire because two earlier bombers had stirred up the Tokyo defenses. "Puffs of black smoke from the anti-aircraft were above where us, below us, in front and behind.

I kept waiting to see holes open in the wings but never saw a hole." Since telling their stories here the sergeants have headed for their respective homes on leave over July 4, with the intention, as Saylor put it, re "to get some home cooking."

A requiem. will be offered at 6:15 LOWER RATES SOUGHT FOR SMALL LOANS Orleans Representative Asks New Bill With More Reductions Baton Rouge, July 5 Delesseps Morrison, representative from New Orleans, moved tonight to have the legislature pass a new bill regulating small loans by imposing an interest rate considerably lower than those in a measure already passed by both house and senate. The bill 1 already passed raises the maximum rate from the present per cent per month on loans up to $300.

Morrison said he was absent when the house last Friday concurred in senate amendments to a bill fixing maximum monthly rates at per cent on loans up to $150, and per cent on loans from $150 to $300. Opponents said loan firms would only grant loans up to $150 in order to get the greater interest rate. The and per cent brackets had been recommended by State Bank Commissioner Wilfred J. Begnaud after a study of the small loan business but the house voted rates of 3 and 2 per cent, only later to concur in senate amendments making the rate and per cent. The measure already adopted also provides for a rate of eight per cent! per year after loans mature.

Morrison said these rates are too high and a house committee immediately gave unanimous approval to a new bill, designed to supersede the measure already passed, fixing interest rates at a flat per cent per month on loans up to $300, together with the eight per cent feature on matured loans. This bill will come up on final passage tomorrow. WOUND FATAL TO ONE- TIME MISS.
