...Owens in Sausalito, Calif, (see cut), designed by San Francisco's Gardner A. Dailey, is a fine example of the flourishing California school of modernists. A modest wooden structure, it is planned "like a wide-angle camera" to take utmost advantage of the frequently befogged Sausalito daylight, has clear glass over half its front and rear elevations...
Original credit for thinking that the U.S. public would like to hear the famed Japcaster goes to KYA's 6-ft., 31-year-old, South Dakota-born president, Don Fedderson.

Only two planes were lost. Total for three raids...

It also had guts. What it had to do was to move up the hills in the daylight, ignoring Jap artillery, and dig live Japs out of holes they had had prepared for three weeks...
