Fund from last war may be used in this one
Mt. Morris, New York (UP) –
An $800 fund which has been on deposit in the Pavilion State Bank since the last war, when it was collected for the relief of soldiers, may be put to use in the present conflict.
Residents who have discussed methods of disposing of the money for the past two decades now favor contributing the fund to the United Service Organization.
The money was collected by an excited populace in rural Covington more than 20 years ago, when word spread that American doughboys in France would be compelled to pay their own passage home. Quickly $900 was raised and placed in the Pavilion Bank, but the rumor proved false and there was no need for the fund.
Only once since 1919 has the money been touched. A few years ago, $100 was withdrawn and contributed to the Red Cross.

Expert tells how U.S. can bomb Jap cities
New York (UP) –
Senator Elbert D. Thomas (D-UT) wants U.S. planes to bomb Japanese cities immediately and Maj. Alexander P. de Seversky, aircraft designer, told how it could be done in articles published by the American Magazine today.
Mr. Thomas said the war in the Pacific needs a “hypodermic” and that 1,000 bombs dropped on the munitions factories of Tokyo and Osaka would “save the lives of 50,000 American soldiers and sailors.”
Maj. Seversky proposed construction of a fleet of super-bombers like the Douglas B-19 and the Glenn Martin flying boat which could operate against Japan from Alaskan bases.
He said these ships have a range of nearly 80,000 miles, with 18 tons of bombs, and Japan lies within a 3,000 miles radius of Alaska.
