SAC BOMBERS
ON LONG RANGE
TRAIN FLIGHTS
i WASHINGTON, — UP) —The
■ Strategic Air Command is em- i
| phasizing arctic operations in two
; new series of long range train-;
I ing fligh’s.
Most of the planes in the na
tion’s heavy striking arm will;
make special missions to Goose
Bay, Labrador, and Shemya Is- j
land in the Aleutians this summer.
This was learned today after
j a squadron of B-29s of the 98th
' group based at Spokane, .Wash.,
i had gone to Goose Bay to make
three long range missions using
a navigation method developed'
especially for arctic flying.
About a dozen squadrons—
heavy bomber squadrons usuelly
include ten planes—will make the
Spokane - Goose Bay run before
September.
The mission to Shemya, a huge
air center near Adak, will be
flown by single B-29s from Castle
Airbase, near Merced, Calif. Four
planes will go each week until
the entire 8th and 15th Air Forces;
have made the trip.
The flights to Shemya are sig
| nificant in that planes will trav-1
j el alone. Single bomber missions
! have been described as a likely
tactic in any future war by Gen.
George C. Kenney, SAC com
| mander, and other air experts.

i Filipino Heroine
| Allowed Entry To
U.S. For Treatment
i -
WASHINGTON, — (/PI —At
torney General Clark today grant
ed special authority for Mrs. Jos
efina Guerrero, Filipino war her
oine, to come to this country for
leprosy treatments.
Mrs. Guerrero was decorated
by the United States recently for
her work in behalf of America
and Philippine soldiers on Bataan
in the darkest days of the war. I
She contracted leprosy after the1
war while engaged in humani-!
tarian work and has been com- !
mended by Cardinal Spellman
! for Christian fortitude and con
cerned for fellow sufferers.
Attorney General Clark an
i nounced he has authorized her
entry into the United States un
der special provisions of the im
migration laws.
In this case, Mrs. Guerrero’s
malady ordinarily would act to
exclude her.
Loses First Fight
In 35 Starts
CHICAGO, — (£>) —Cpl. Her
bert Moore of the Alaskan Com
mand lost his first fight in 35
starts last Friday night, and lost
it by his own specialty—a knock
out.
Moore was flattened in 1:07 of
the first round by John Stew
art of the European Command in
their semi-final bout in the Army
and Air Force world wide box
ing tournament at Chicago Stad
ium.
A knockout winner in 33 of his
previous 34 ring appearances,
Moore never got his heavy ar
tillery unlimbered. Stewart cut
loose with a barrage of lefts and
rights that quickly sent the kayo
specialist into oblivion.

The Illinois Employment Service
listed Takajii Goto, Nisei combat
veteran of World War II, as “un
employable.” That was in March,
1946.
Today, Taka- f
j i i Goto of i
Chicago,
despite the
fact that he [
walks on two
artificial legs
and lost one
finger, is an g
expert watch 1
repairman em- I
ployed by the 1
Lebolt jewelry I
firm.
Because oi takajii goto
his remark
able rehabilitation, Goto has been
selected by the Disabled American
Veterans as the “Hero of the
Month.**
The selection is part of a na
tional DAV program to honor the
nation’s disabled veterans who
have succesfully rehabilitated
themselves.
Goto was born in Glmonte, Cali
fornia in 1922 and attended the
public schools, high school and
junior college. He hoped to be an
aviation mechanic.
But in 1943 a Nisei combat unit
was formed and Goto’s group
joined the 442nd Regiment, at
tached to the 34th and 36th In
fantry Divisions.
All volunteers, the members of
the unit saw service in Italy and
Southern France.
Goto was wounded in Italy but
returned to service and while fight
I ing in Southern France had both
legs shot up by enemy artillery
fire. Amputation of both limbi
resulted.
He received the Purple Hear!
with Oak Leaf Cluster and the
Bronze Star with Cluster for his
heroism.
Following his discharge from
Percy Jones Hospital, Goto took uy
residence in Chicago with his wife.
The Illinois Employment Service
could not place Goto on a job be
cause he was a double amputee—
and had a finger missing.
The Employment Service took its
“problem case” to the DAV Idento
Tag Department in Chicago. Here
disabled veterans of all types are
at work making miniature auto
mobile license tags for millions of
motorists each year.
As far as the DAV was con
cerned. Goto was as employable
as anyone else. He was put on a
job where he could use nis capa
bilities, not his disabilities. In
three months he did so well the
DAV recommended he go to school.
Goto enrolled under Public Law
16 at a watchmaking school. With
in a year he was able to step into
a good job as an expert watch
repairman.
He attributes his rehabilitation
in a large measure to the en
couragement and direction given
him by the DAV. He is a member
of the DAV Logan Square Chapter
No. 40 on Chicago’s northwest side.
Goto saw he could work with his
hands and found an organization
interested in his welfare.
Mr. and Mrs. Goto expect their
first child sometime next
September.
