British Editor Denounces False Atrocity Story
London editor Gerald Barry of the London News Chronicle charged Allied authorities with spreading a false atrocity tale. He cited an Associated Press report about four German boys between ages 1 and 14 mishandling rifles near U.S. troops, saying they were innocent and released. Barry blamed authorities for the rumor, not the press, and noted proposed court-martial discussions.

Monument to Pioneer Flyers Unearthed on Greenland Ice
US Army pilot Lt Cal Hassell discovered the wreckage of the Greater Rockford on Greenland’s ice cap after 16 years buried under snow. The 1928 single engine plane belonged to Hassell and Shorty Cramer, who had planned a great circle route from Rockford to Stockholm. The find ties to early North Atlantic flight ideas and to Hobbs’ northern base near Mt Davis.
