Chinese Claim Japs Used Gas
CHUNGKING - (ANS) - A Chinese communiqué has charged that the Japs have renewed the use of poison gas in fighting the stubborn defenders in the Hunan and Hupeh provinces of Central China. |
FDR HANDED MEASURE LIFTING CHINESE BAN
WASHINGTON - (UP) - The Senate passed, and sent to the White House, a bill permitting the Chinese to become naturalized American citizens and to migrate to the United States on a quota basis. The bill repeals the Chinese Exclusion Act passed between 1882 and 1913. It will allow 105 Chinese to enter the United States annually. |
Whenever they get a chance, Chinese pilots brush up on their flying on either of two link trainers. The one in the foreground is manned by Lt. Hsu Ting Chi, the other by Lt. Yi Ying Cheng. Lt. Lei Kwang Chao and M/Sgt. E. M. Davis plot their courses. |
An interested group of Chinese crowd around T/Sgt. Paul F. Brown, holding a class on ground repair which, in this instance, is taking up engine change. His instruction is conveyed to the class by means of an interpreter, Capt. Li Ning, Engineering officer. |
Lt. Hwang Chao-Li, center, a radio technician, checks voltages on a defective radio communications receiver at a test bench in the hangar. Sgt. Anthony Puglia stands by to assist while T/Sgt. W. L. Whisenant goes about his own work. |
Using his parachute as a pillow, Lt. Yang E. B. carefully checks the map area of a course flight. The Chinese lieutenant is typical of the type of alert, energetic pilots being turned out at the training center who will, one day, fight the Jap. |
After their practice flight, Lt. Coyd B. Yost, left, talks things over with Capt. Szutu F., center, and Lt. Chang S. S., both pilots of the China Air Force. Meanwhile, the plane is being refueled and tuned up for the next flight, scheduled shortly thereafter. |
Straining at the leash, these sharp-toothed, hard-hitting P-40's wait for their Chinese pursuit pilots to lift them into the air. American squadron commanders at the base are Majs. William M. Reed and H. H. cords. Note the perfect alignment of planes. |
After a busy day's training, American non-coms and Chinese officers and enlisted men enjoy a spot of recreation in the American squadron's day room, which has been named "Flanagan's Bar." |
