Tokyo says women pilot Yank planes; ‘3 downed’

LONDON, England (AP) – The Tokyo radio said today three American aircraft piloted by women had been shot down over Kweilin, China.

“Thus it is assumed that a shortage of American aircrews is so acute that women are now being employed on operational duties,” said the broadcast.

Well, I read where that nasty old Pierre Laval at his place of detention in Spain is knitting himself a sweater, and as the people of France are yelling for the part of Laval that it pulls over, the man must be an optimist.

If you ask me, I think it’s peculiar that Laval has gone in for garment-working, too. Only, a few days ago, there was a story that Hitler had fled to Spain in women’s clothes. And when the Americans opened his safe at Berchtesgaden, all they found were some designs of women’s gowns.

It’s too bad all those dictators didn’t go in for making clothes in the first place. The world would have been a lot quieter place if they’d had to keep their mouths full of pins.
