" ■■ ■ — .— "■ fhe Washington-Merry-Go-Round — Japs Launched 60,000 Balloons Toward U. S. During Late War By DREW PEARSON Secret Well Kept— One of the most carefully guarded secrets of the war was the fact that Japan was float ing balloons across the Pacific ocean to Oregon, Washington and even as far east as Illinois and Texas. U. S. censors gave strict or ders to suppress all news of these balloons; and even when an Oregon family climbed into a tree to examine a balloon and was blown to bits, censors sup pressed the information. Reason for the strict censor ship was that American com manders didn’t want ithe Japs to know how successful their balloon campaign was. If the Japs realized their balloons were getting across, it was be leived they would launch many more thousands. After the war ended, cross examination of the Jap mili tary revealed that 60.000 of these balloons had been launched from the Kurile is lands and Formosa. They crossed the Pacific at an alti tude of about 17,000 feet at a speed of over 100 miles an hour and were equipped with gadgets which made them descend after a certain dis tance. The prevailing winds across the Pacific made the f.ight relatively simple—de spite the fact that the Pacific is the widest of all oceans. The balloons were equipped as incendiary carriers to set fire to northwest forests, and later j they were to be equipped as car rers of bacteriological warfare. * * * I Balloons to Russia— Use of these same type bal loons to carry propaganda into Russia was proposed in this column 2 years ago. The wind currents from Germany, France, Austria. Turkey or even Eng land make it easy to float bal loons into Russia. In fact, they could be inflated so as to come down in certain planned areas, carrying not only propaganda, but bars of soap, candy, short wave radio sets, etc. The weather bureau, with whom I conferred at the time, confirmed the fact that float ing the ballons into Russia would be fairly easy. Secretary of Air Symington and Chief of Staff Oniar Bradley gave their enthusiastic approval. But at that time the state department said no. . | However, with increasing So- j viet jamming of the Voice of America, and with the increas ing urgency of getting ideas j across to the Russian people, the state department under live wire Assistant Secretary Ed Barrett is re-examining t h e matter. A sincere effort is be ing made to put across the Ache son idea of “Total Diplomacy.” ' A Candidate Forgets— Willis Smith, a North Caro lina candidate for the senate has been stumping the state telling folks that he is the great friend of the working man. One of his full-page advertisements reads: “1 believe in high wage scales for the American working man.’ What Lawyer Smith has for gotten, however—or at least | what he wants the people of 1 North Caroline to forget—is that he actually opposed a 40 cent minimum wage for the working man as late as 1947. Despite the fact that the fed eral minimum wage now is fixed at 75 cents. Smith in formed ihe North Carolina general! assembly that the 40 oent minimum was "harsh, unreasonable and unneces sary.’* NOTE—In contrast, Candidate Smith last year received a fee of $23,137.77 for liquidating the Madix Asphalt Roofing Co. of Raleigh. Since the job took him only 98 days, he was paid at the rate of $219.28 a day in con trast to the $16 a week which he told the general assembly was too high for North Carolina workmen. While liquidating the firm, incidentally, Smith lived at the beach resort of More head City and charged his client 10 cents a mile expense for rid ing beck and forth to the beach. • • • Soviet E} j* Okinawa— A Soviet plot to force the' United States off its Pacific is land bases is revealed in recent reports to the joint chiefs of staff. The clue to Soviet plans is the massing of thousands of Chinese forced laborers to build giant airports within bombing range of China’s Fukien pro vince. • • • Louey and Harry— Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson’s report penchant for Kalking off the cuff is getting iim in trouble with President Truman — who also talks off the cuff. The President complained to an old friend the other day, “Louey talks to Bemie Baruch and tells him things he doesn’t tell me. I have to learn about them third hand.” iNOTE — Mr. Truman has no love for the elderly Baruch since Baruch didn’t aid re-election.
