12 Short Range
Navy Planes Safely
Cross Pacific
HONOLULU, (>P) — The navy
sent 12 short range combat plan.es
2,426 miles across the Pacific yes
terday to prove a point.
The point: to deliver such air
craft over ocean distances beyond
their fuel capacity by the shortest
quickest route, let them fly—with
refueling stops aboard convenient
ly spaced carriers.
That’s what the 12 fighters and
dive-torpedo bombers did—and for
the first time. They hippety-hop
ped from Moffett Field, Calif.,
near San Francisco, to Barber’s
Point, Hawaii, landing on two car
riers in between. The elapsed
time: 11 hours, 53 minutes.
Rear Admiral J. M. Hoskins,
chief of staff to the commander of
air, Pacific, reminded newsmen
after the landings that the planes
were “combat ready” for action
when they arrived.
“In time of war, needed aircraft
could be ferried in this manner
over vast ocean areas,” he said.
Now the navy is planning a sim
ilar test hop with jet fighters.
The carrier Princeton refueled
the 12 planes 800 miles from the
California coast and the Tarawa
did the job 1,600 miles out. The
single engine planes, taking off
from Moffett field at dawn, reach
ed Barbers Point at 3:35 p.m.
Honolulu time.
Convict ‘Meatball,’
Jap, Of Treason
LOS ANGELES UP)—California
born Tomoya Kawakita, convicted
of committing brutalities against
American war prisoners while he
was an interpreter at Japan's in
famous camp Oeyama, is under
sentence of death for treason.
Federal Judge William C. Ma
thes yesterday sentenced the 28
year-old Nisei to die in the gas
chamber at San Quentin prison.
Morris Lavine, defense counsel,
immediately filed notice for ap
peal. Lavine tried for hours to
have the conviction set aside on
grounds that coercion and undue
influence had been exerted upon
the jury.
Kawakita—called “Meatball” by
35 ex-servicemen who testified
against him—was convicted of
treason Sept. 2 after eight days of
heated deliberation and eleven
weeks of trial.
In pronouncing sentence Judge
Mathes said that to spare Kawak
ita’s life “would dishonor the
memory of Pvt. Sadao Munemori”
(Nisei winner of the Congressional
Medal of Honor).
The convicted man’s mother,
Mrs. Tose Kawakita, buried her
face in her hands when she heard
the sentence. Judge Mathes dis
closed he had received a touching
letter from her which said if her
son was guilty of treason, she did
not want to live.
Judge Mathes said the sentence
was not based on the brutalities
with which Kawakita was charged.
“His crime,” the jurist explain
ed, “is that he said from 1943 on
he did everything he could to help
Japan win the war.”
Kawakita, born in Calexico,
Calif., returned here from Japan
and was spotted in a department
store by an ex-GI who had been
imprisoned at Oeyama.
