My Mother and Dad,
Forgive me for letting the past
two weeks go by without a letter, but
circumstances slightly beyond ;ur
control have existed and in t&at
sts tement, there is no exaggeration.
For the sixth and possibly last
fume my Battalion has been forced
>' move since our arrival on H'on-.
h , and this time to the Funoaka
. der Plant twenty miles south-
-t of Sendai. The plant itself is
q- : e an interesting sight—approxi
mately five hundred buildings, all
various sizes, shapes, and as for de
sign, even the Japanese are baffled
over that one. Spread over an area
of forty square miles, the most
amazing characteristic of the entire
plant is that every building seems
to be constructed beside a small
mountain or reasonable facsimile;
and regardless of which direction
you approach the plant, it is im,pos
sible to see anything but one or two
buildings. That goes for an air ap
proach also. Evidently the Air
Corps considered the plant too well
dispersed to attempt bombing it;
however, the anti-aircraft protection
was by no means neglected, as there
was battery after battery of anti
aircraft guns corresponding to our
40 millimeter and even larger ones
sitting atop of anything that re
sembled a hill. Somehow I feel that

evidence of that is the three B-29
crashes I’ve had invesigated and’ in
turn, reported to G-2. Before a brief
explanation of how the crashes were
reached, there is one incident of
stupidity or otherwise exhibited by
the Japanese that stands out I’d like
to mention.
On the eighth of November, one
of the Officers sent out on motorized
patrol by our section reported that
he had accidentally located fifty Jap
anese planes in perfect condition,
high in the mountains, completely
hidden, and practically impossible to
get to. Personally, I thought he was
joking because the nearest airfield

Poultry Culling Pen
r p HE importance of culling to in-
■- crease profits, and the element
ary principles of distinguishing be
tween a good hen and a bad hen.
have been stressed so much in the
last few years that nearly every
poultry raiser, from the beginner
on up, is giving the matter care
ful attention. It’s expensive to feed
valuable grain to hens that don’t
lay.
One of the first things many
have learned is that trying to
snatch up a hen among 50 or 100
others in a laying house gets on
the nerves of both man and
chicken. Feathers fly freely and
the confusion is general.
Betty Bombers were moved up thert;
remains quite a mystery, but pre-"
cautionary steps have been taken to
prevent their flying again (Namely,
twenty blocks of T.N.T. per planej.
Incidents like that are definitely rar;
though, and as a whole, the Japanese
have cooperated in every respect.
As for the B-29 report, it sepms
the War Department wanted each
crash invesigated and a concise re
port turned in to G-2. In a few
.vteks the parents of the boys Id-Jed
would get the details. Unfortunately,
the three planes known by the Miya-
gi Prefecture Police Force to have
crashed March 10th were all located
ou snow covered peaks; and the nips
" vised us not to try the mountains
this time o the year. Disregarding
heir advice, 1 went on and made
plans for the patrols. One led by
Cr/pt. Al. Greer, our S-3; one by Lt.
Bolo Lawson, the S-l; and then one
for myself. Each patrol was led by
two Japanese guides and after trail
ing the two that led my group, I don’t
think there is a mountain goat in ex
istence that will stand up to them.
At dawn the morning of the patryds
our groups separated and started put
t n their own. The climb wasn’t too
ad until after we had passed the
timber line and then things began
getting rough. At eleven that morn
ing, we ran into a typical mountain
storm. Our guides refused to go
any urther until a little unauthorized
persmsion by one of the Sergeants
had convinced them it was feasible
to do such. By three o’clock that
afternoon we reached the plane
which was partially covered by snow.
It was so terribly cold that no one
could move and conversation was
impossible. The plane was com
pletely demolished but in the process
of examining the debris, the pilot
and another crew member’s bodies
were discovered. We buried them
before starting down again. The
kids still had on their flying suits
and as their remains were put into
the graves, we knelt and prayed—not
for them, but for the rest of the
world. They had done a wonderful
job.
Enclosed you will find a clipping
that came out in th e Army’s “Stars
and Stripes” yesterday. It should
explain what we are doing.
In closing, I hope you're both in
the best of spirits.
Your Son,
June.
Incidentally, we’re not having fra
ternization problems. The boys can’t
seem to stomach these people—fishy
smell (too much fish and rice).

A simple culling pen can be
made which will solve the problem.
It is constructed of two hinged
panels, each about 6 feet long and
4 feet high, with a chicken wire
covering. Only eight pieces of light
lumber are needed. A small flock of
hens can be driven into a corner
of the laying house and held there
while being culled. The peace and
quiet of the laying house can be
further preserved b” culling at
night with a flashlight.
Explosives Intended For Destruction
Of American Forces Go Up In Smoke
Sendai, Japan—Thousands of tons
of explosives intended for destruc
tion of American forces are going
up in smoke as 11th Airborne demoli
tion crews destroy stocks of Japan’s
largest naval pbwder factory.
Tons of burning black powder,
touched off after night, illuminated
the area to such an extent that Japa
nese citizens were reported to be
reading newspapers in the light.
Some Japs, recalling American air
attacks, phoned the police stations
and nervously requested explanation
of the 300-foot column of flame. A
subsequent explosion of 80 tons of
picric acid shattered windows and
sucked doors from building en
trances.
The plant, owned and operated by
the Japanese Navy, supplied four
major naval bases—Yokosuka, Kure,
Saseho and Msizuru. It operated on
an around-the-clock schedule and
employed 7,500 workers, 170 of which
were Koreans.
Anti-aircraft guns protecting the
35-square-mile area included what is
reputed to be the world’s largest
anti-aircraft gun, the 12.7 CM.

NUTRITIONAL ILLS
TAKING FARM TOLL
So-called “deficiency diseases” seem
to be playing an increasingly prom
inent part in causing livestock losses
these days.
Cropping over a period of years has
depleted soils of many mineral ele
ments imporant to livestock health.
Also, because farm animals are de
pendent on their owners for ratijns,
nutritional deficiencies often occur
when the owners fail to provide prop-
ration balance. Vitamin deficiencies
rank equally with minerals as causes
of poor health, unprofitable gains, and
premature deaths.
Vitamin A, found in green forage
and grasses is probably the most
essential for animals. Livestock de
prived of vitamin A develop blind
ness. sterility, and water logging of
the tissues. Vitamin E, is no longer
considered so important, because
many farm animals synthesize it from
bacteria in their digestive tracts.
Vitamin C, the anti-scurvy factor
of orange juice, is often related to
functional sterility of cattle and
horses. Vitamin D, the sunlight vita
min, is very important Animals kept
indoors and fed no sun-cured hay may
develop fits and easily broken limbs
