It will continue its coverage of the war in time during the tiny tie Command announced tonight that three thirty thousand Japanese were killed and wounded that trunk shot Sunday in a battle in which the Japanese offensive against that Hunan province capital was turned into a catastrophic debacle Japanese conquerors waged a reign of terror against white residents of Manila and I read any of them found on the streets and imposing especially harsh restrictions on American citizens. And a lot of officially denied Japanese claims that seventeen American destroyers twenty five submarines and one aircraft carrier were trapped in Manila Bay branding such claims as enemy propaganda. Launching their secondary almost all phone call I get all in twenty four hours of Japanese bombers blasted out the album for us at the entrance to Manila Bay for half an hour for draft planes were stopped by a car I get on a Sunday at Craft defense and that's the news from here W. a lot of broadcasting news summaries on the hour and a half hour twenty four hours a day. Remember Pearl Harbor. The Palmer holding. Our. Phantom and opening the ninth on the fifteenth of programs of information and entertainment brought to you every Sunday by the Office for American three nights and cooperation with W O R and mutual our entertainment is made up of song and drama dedicated to what we're fighting for and part of our information is an effort to answer the question What can I do to help well away with each and every American can and should help with money and with time with money we can by the time that keep on buying with time we can devote ourselves to on the porch and face of civilian defense at death Our guest of honor the bedridden past a pioneer director of observation of the fate of Rhode Island off the with aftereffect representative American the distinguished dramatic stop stage and screen Raymond Massey. One of ten Pat Alex most talented Tim Smith serving Caesar. Radio celebrated young composer conductor Martin told at his office. You know we've often heard that the fans are launching a matter of morale Oh morale me confidence. In our lead and confidence that we know that they know what they should know but until puts it all in a nutshell is the offer to play it I know that you know. The. I think. The end. To end but the end. I am. I am I am. I am I ever. I am. I am. Frightened of the force and but for the amount of good approach I guess I am right for example I guess most of us think of an aircraft as highly trained specialists. And often memory but passenger has developed a system and written a series of manual to make us a factor of almost any at civilian aircraft warning service in Rhode Island has been set up top. Now Mr Hazard I have difficulty distinguishing a robin from a crawl I think you can make an aircraft far out of me I think so many fathom a year ago I had that difficulty if English NG flying Bongo or a bomber if I can do that now a bomber had many horses behind it correct of ours horses are out front several thousand that's one way to tell a bomber by a smaller home or it by its size as long now way and alone then visualize your body bombers a big ship and spiders or little one relatively yet a pursuit ship that short stubby its wing span isn't half that of about it that's for a reason you know if it had a long way like a bomber they'd be torn up by the roots and making it turn it three hundred fifty miles an hour what if this what about it looks like a two way dragon fly and a pursuit ship looks like a heart or supply of another color around how about color can you identify a plane by marking Not unless it's by very low and very close and most bombing attacks are made don't touch when colors are hard to make up the so I went with the best guide every type of flying has its own distinctive silhouette we start very first but the three basic. Fighters bombers and transport let's say for fly the dragon fly on the grass not ever see a grasshopper in flight he has long Broadway that body that the troop transport to achieve the transport and put through that passion because that's what the transport plane fare well now I know how to identify the very basic type that make me a call about aircraft part of a mystery that you have now mastered the first day. Of the first half of the element. And I have been at. Three they. Don't work for me or you're fully qualified you might be able to identify by the way at least eighty out of a hundred different like what you do with or without giving the works. That would qualify you as an observer first class. But anyone who can identify the three basic can help a great deal. Only needs the nine Abenaki right and the of those you know the tale me like I want to follow and I want to along with you the first robin and last thing the rest. A matter of fact. Just make ideal aircraft product they use a lot they have an i Pad It's going to fail and it here individuals. An airplane thing ask any pilot every lawyer had to go into. The other day a man from one hundred fifty second I thank you glad you did with me in a coat hanger and correctly identified the ten plain fact that it sounds very much like your word for it has now taken off my hat to the observer dependent things like that and I want to really watch who can learn the elements of spotting let me say that. Every civilian observer qualified for this job is doing it but for the fact that though he or piloting want to fire and affect the play he's right on the first line of defense against attack from the air it's just as much an active duty as if you were in Europe or without his guidance the pilots would be relatively blind and a large Maker Faire depending on his I for our final take that had that they will happen thank you. I. Believe heard from A to have that what happened to all the air right along. Now let's see what happens or could happen when they are going to fight with them not to do a part of the helpful faith on the very thing they ther would have been found by still don't all over America almost Fazer is now written a book of THANK YOU song with Paul Walker and he's going to think some of them for they didn't gentleman having faith. Listen my children and you don't know what to do and where to go when you're with the sirens sounding the. If you should hear that sirens know what long black and one that's on. Your first song but you needn't. First of all the scream or shout just be calm don't rush the power I shall walk with the man and the right Warden will take you there all this advice I give to you the English children back to school follow the rules and if you do we'll have your good luck. Listen to you I say all right should come with my day from this place a way. To do. And the parade should come by night shut off the gas out of the light then you won't get a plane and fly one little sight of you. And waters your. Radio for you to hear them and the siren blast with sharp short signals they just mothers your heart may suffer it might be brave it's all your children say all are made We'll see you. At the top of the battle for good right to fight but wrong up. And it's this. Way You're a brave boy the man. Walk up to him and say Mr Wharton. Tell me father do when I have to. Make friends with every great deal. Doing that and he's. Followed him wherever. You want in the end the phrase that's new and that may be explaining. Won't and names tax dollars. For you. Didn't think that. They will hear oh we're. Here we need a home but here I am. I am. How we've been discussing for the you not for here tonight We've not spoken a word about fundamental. Freedom but fell over the radio right off to play about me. But particularly. The. Tonight we bring you that player directed by Alfred Perlman long back to the thing with American for magic. Mapping and featuring. A notable Broadway tap they did the precious. Yes it factor make this great Michael paster effort. That I. Ever wanted when I began to get back in the dark again I talk to my wife for the last ten years about cutting myself off from civilization having a real vacation. Mark what's the matter I don't I don't actually take it easy Mr STEVENSON Well OK just after your faith think about where you're going to that place. Don't look right don't be up I didn't force Manning I want to get down there fast I've got to the city I've got to get back to my business. Yes there's no one of all the things I want and the people I want to help. Guess we'd better try to flag it right now I don't. Know how to do that than a forced landing out on your field and wait a minute where you don't see what the difference that makes all I want if you get someone I think you are going to your seat and slam the door not for. My face for. Possibly even think Oh no Mr that.
