S. Press) TOKYO, July 13 IP Nearly 50 B-29 Superfortresses plastered a key North Korean military target with 500 tons of bombs today in the mightiest single air blow of the Korean campaign. The mission inaugurated mass precisian bombing by two groups of Superforts hurried here from their west coast bases. War-trained crews flew the four-engine bombers from two far east-. em bases through rain and mist for the largest mass foray of the campaign.

The target was a railroad center north of the 38th parallel. No Opposition All of the planes and their eager, youthful veterans returned safely without meeting opposition on the daylight raid. It took exactly eight days to deliver this new punchfrom the date overseas orders were first delivered to the release of the bombs. In that time the men, their planes, and most of their equipment were moved 8,000 mles and prepared for an air blow that meant a round trip of more than 1,500 miles. Air officers here said this proved the speed with which strategic bombing assignments could be carried out throughout the world.

One of the aircraft commanders, 1st Lt. James T. Patrick, of Carnation, said it differently: "This will make Uncle Joe sit up and take notice." This correspondent was in Patrick's plane on an assignment representing the combined allied press. But a few miles after getting our plane and its 20,000 pounds of bombs off the ground, we had to turn back with a faulty engine. By Radar The remained of the bombers made a perfect overwater rendezvous and released their bombs at 11:02 a.

Japanese daylight time, through mist so thick that radar was used to sight thet target. Maj. Gen. Emmett (Rosy) O'Don-nell directed this first mission of his new command, the' Far East Bomber Command (provisional). The 43-year-old general, once a West Point football coach, led the first wartime B-29 raid on Japan.

About 60 per cent of the men. in his new command are combat-tested, veterans of thunderous pattern bombing missions from Germany to Japan. They were geared for battle today with confident eagerness. The bombers Were skittish, each loaded with 10 tons of explosives, and precision flying as well as precision bombing was essential. One squadron today carried more explosives than -three times as many of the famous B-24s unloaded in World War II.

LIKE? A FISH The new St Francis Xavier Church in Kansas City, combines the most modern lines in church architecture with ancient symbolism. Built of limestone and concrete at a cost of about $700,000, the Catholic church resembles the form of a fish, an old liturgical symbol. AN AMERICAN" AIR BASE, Japan, July 13 1P New ts'pes of armor-piercing rockets will be added soon to the armament of American eonrbat planss in the Korean war. Gen. Hoyt S.

Vandenberg, U. S. air force chief of staff, disclosed this today in an exclusive interview with the United Press after he made a flying trip to several American air bases in Korea and Japan. Fifth Air Force pilots had complained yesterday that their five-inch rockets! were inefflreTve against what they said were GO-ton Russian-built tanks used by the North Koreans. Vandenbergs visit gave an obvious lift to pilots and ground crews, especially at the advanced Korean base where F-51 Mustangs are being operated on what appears a shoestring basis.

This correspondent accompanied Vandenberg, Maj. Gen. Earle-E. Partridge, commander of the Fifth Air Force, and other high air force officers on their flight in a C-47 transport. "On The Way" Vandenberg and Partridge assured the men at the Korean base that reinforcements are on the way.

Maj. Dean Heps of Marietta, commanding fighter operations at the base, said each of his planes was flying up to three missions a day. Hess formerly was with the Ninth Air Force, Vandonbergs outfit in World War II. "We did it before," Hess said. "We'll do it again."
