Fourth B 29 Tokyo raid described as toughest yet most successful
The squadron reported 75 percent of bombs hit near the Mu sashima engine factory at Nakajima. The plant, a key aircraft facility, had been hit in a prior raid on November 24. Pilots returning from the fourth Tokyo raid in ten days called it the toughest but most successful, facing heavier anti aircraft fire and stronger fighter interception through clear skies. Large fires raged as high winds fanned the flames.

St Lawrence Seaway Bill Faces Senate Vote This Week
The senate may vote this week on the 420 million St. Lawrence seaway and power project with Senator Aiken ready to offer the authorization as an amendment to the rivers and harbors bill. Senator Clark opposes sealing debate to block the measure citing opposition to the channeling of Lake Michigan water to the Mississippi. President Roosevelt supports the project with Canada, and Leo Crowley urged authorization to aid postwar commerce. The plan would deepen the St. Lawrence and build locks to allow sea traffic from the Great Lakes plus hydroelectric plants.
