Fighters Inspect Their Gift Plane
A sumo delegation of more than 70 strong turns out at
the Tachikawa airport to beat a circular track of curiosity about the "Patriotic
Sumo Plane," which the Japan Wrestling Association presented in a formal
ceremony yesterday afternoon to the fighting forces. One group of wrestlers
is giving the motor of the sumo ship the "once over," while another cluster,
in the background, is inspecting a second craft.
