Campus to Tokio .JThe Tribune today presents the

third instalment of the first de-tailed eyewitness story of the bomb-ing of Tokio by American flyersApril 18, 1942. Lt. McClure, theauthor, left a college campus tobecome the navigator in one of theplanes that took off from the air-craft carrier Hornet. Pre",ious in-stalments have told how the Ameri-can flyers were selected and trainedin the United States and on the car-rier Hornet. Lt. McClure now isstationed at Mather field, Sacra-mento, Cal.

BY LT. CHAS. L. McCLURE,As told to William Shinnick.

[Copyright:1043:ByTheChicagoTribune.]Sacramento, Cal., April 28.-For a

second or two on the morning ofApril 18, 1942,we of the Tokio bomb-ing force aboard the aircraft carrierHornet thought 'we had lost ourleader, Lieut. Col. [now a majorgeneral] James H_Doolittle. It wasa sickening feeling.Fortunately we were wrong. By

a characteristic maneuver of hisB-25 bomber he had surprised uswith a beautiful piece of airman-ship.Of course the atmosphere on the

Hornet that morning was tense. Itwas the appointed day for the raid.But the appointed hour was stilldistant. The plan was for us to takeoff at dusk some 400miles from theJapanese coast. Col. Doolittle wasto take the lead, drop incendiarybombs on our Tokio targets, andthe rest of the 16 planes were tofollow and bomb by the light ofthe fires.

Careful Estimate by Doolittle.That would give us ample time to

reach the China coast about day-break, and to land on specified air-ports held by the Chinese. Thecolonel had it all figured out bypercentages how our expeditionwould be aided by getting off thatclose to our objective, and howmuch it would be hampered by alonger run to Tokio.Any good military plan must be

subject to change under actual con-ditions, and we were not to getaway as planned, but something like10 hours earlier.During the night the carrier and

escorting vessels had eluded two Japships supposedly patroling the sea.But another enemy ship, a destroyer,had been encountered, and had beensunk by a tremendous burst of firefrom one of the escort vessels underthe command of Adm. William F.Halsey Jr.

Speedy Final Preparations.Altho the sinking was speedy it

was feared the Jap had been ableto radio our presence and our posi-tion, and it was decided to take offquickly. At breakfast time thearmy flying personnel were notifiedto prepare at once to leave.The war department already has

disclosed that there was no hesi-tation, that the colonel and the de-tachment as a whole were eager totake off. We almost certainly coulddrop our bombs and still have achance to get into China, tho not asgood a chance as the original plangave us.Final preparations were made

quickly. The Jap medals, holdoversfrom the days of peace, were tiedto the bombs and we had our pic-tures taken on the flight deck. Thenit was time to go. The weatherwas rough and it was difficult goingon the deck. There was beautifultiming as the first plane, pilotedby Col. Doolittle, made its run and

been no warning of our coming.Shipping lay in the harbor. Wepassed close to an aircraft carrierwhich looked almost deserted-nota plane on deck. We could havebombed it with ease. But we didn't.Our orders were to hit specific tar-gets and we passed up everythingelse. .

No Evidence of Warning.Nowhere was there any evidence

of a warning. Later I was toldby people on the Hornet, listeningto Jap radio broadcasts, that twoplanes were over Tokio and an-other in the outskirts before anyalarm was sounded. Many monthslater, in Washington, D. C., I meta nurse who then was interned inTokio-she came out on the Grips-holm in the exchange - who toldme that when we went over shehad the feeling that something bigwas happening.••Just at this time I was talking

to a priest," the nurse said. ••I ex-claimed, 'Those don't look like Japa-nese planes.' We stood looking upand we knew they weren't when weheard the big bombs exploding awayoff. A guard was near us and wedidn't dare shout for joy. We juststood there and winked happily ateach other."Doolittle's plan worked out well.

Over the bay, or near it, six Zeroplanes were over us at an estimat-ed 1,000feet and didn't see our cam-ouflaged ship just below. We hadno time for them. The bombing wasso planned that no plane crew hadto fear being hit by another's bombs.

No Anti·Aircraft Fire.All we had to do was rise to 1,500

feet and drop our bombs from thatheight so we wouldn't blow our-selves to pieces. A quick glance aswe roared across the bay showed noanti-aircraft guns in action. Ourplanes had fanned out as they hadbeen taught to do.Gen. Doolittle has disclosed how

he was so close to the ground thathe could see individual faces, andhow the spectators at a baseballgame waved at him as he passedthem. That's just the way it was.We weren't out to shoot down help-less civilians; we were after big andlegitimate game. Even the emperor'spalace was safe; altho it could beplainly seen. Col. Doolittle hadbarred it as a: target.We were approaching the inner

shore of the bay and we had alreadylocated our own targets. A slightturn and a rise and a run and wewould be upon them.[In the next instalment of this

series Lt. McOlure will tell of acrowded three or four minutes overTokio and the trip Of his bomberand crew across Japan and theOhina sea.]

KEEP U. S. FREEFOR WARRIORS,REP. DIES URGES

Pleads for Protection ofTried Institutions.

Rep. Martin Dies [D., 'I'ex.I, chair-man of the house committee on un-American activities, last night de-livered an impassioned plea toAmericans to preserve their free in-stitutions against the day whentheir sons and husbands will re-turn victorious from the war. Thiscan be done, he said, only by fight-ing constantly against totalitarian-ism and materialism, whether theseforces appear under the guise offascism, Naziism, communism, orburocracy.He was heard and roundly ap-

plauded by 1,184guests at a dinnerforum held in the grand ballroomof the Medinah club, 505 NorthMichigan avenue.He asserted that there are in the

federal government men who desireto change the form of the Americaneconomy by stealth and subterfuge,men who question the liberal doc-trine that government is the serv-ant and not the master of the peo-ple and who believe that laws andstiil more laws enacted by a highlycentralized and constantly strength-ened federal government will be ofgreater effectiveness in combatingthe ills of the world than the sim-ple personal and governmental vir-tues practiced and advocated by thefounders of the country.

Sees'Dangerous Tendencies.These men are among the more

important of the enemies whomAmerica must fight, he said. Whileconcediflg that the drift toward to-talitarianism is not as marked hereas in Europe, and that the majorityof 'government officials are loyalAmericans, he nevertheless assertedthat he has noticed dangerous tend-encies in American governmentduring his 14 years in congress andthat the opposition which his com-mittee has encountered during thelast five years has been disquietingin the extreme.In commenting on this opposi-

tion, he charged that he had reoceived not cooperation but ridiculeand misrepresentation from manyhighly placed government officials.And when other committees, formedto review the work of his commit-tee, had substantiated his charges,certain elements of the press hadsought to discredit the whole in-vestigation by claiming that the reoviewing committees were as reac-tionary as the Dies group, he said.

Warns of Regimentation.In a blast at those who yearn to

tamper with the national economy,Rep. Dies said: "When the timecomes that this country is regi-mented economically, the time willnot be far distant when it will beregimented religiously and political-ly, too."As an illustration of the growth

of burocracy in this country, hesaid that the federal governmentnow has 500 elected representativesof the people and three million rep-resentatives not elected, but ap-pointed.Chairman of the meeting was C.

Y. Schaffer, public relations coun-selor of the Salvation Army.

swept over the spray washed bowof the Hornet on the upbeat.That was when we feared that

the colonel was lost. His planedisappeared. I thought " Dooltt-tle's gone and we'll have to makeit without him." But I was wrong.I had been outsmarted. Col. Doo-little, as he left the deck, hadnosed down quickly and gained alittle speed.

Fly 50 Feet Above Sea.It may have been only a split

second while he was out of sight,but what a relief it was to havehim reappear, gain altitude, andhead for our objective!The other planes followed In

quick succession. We were theseventh in line and got off withoutincident and without flaps. [Note:Flaps are in effect a braking de-vice; while they cut down speedthey are a help in gaining heightat the takeoff,] It is no secretthat every plane got off unharmed.We were then about 800 miles

off the enemy islands. Our forma-tion, if it can be called such, wasa line. Nearly all the way I couldset: two planes ahead of me andone behind. We all were not morethan 50 feet above the sea to de-crease the chance of detection. Weflew at an almost constant speed,which I cannot divulge, that waschosen to lessen fuel consumptionto the minimum.There was no radio communica-

tion between the planes and eachcrew was on its own. Each hadto find its own target. There wasno fear on the part of our crewthat this wouldn't be done; we hadfull confidence in each other and Ossining, N. Y., April 28 (A>l.-Thein Col. Doolittle. Maryknoll Sisters announced today
