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.
