Death of Lt Sparks, Ex-Student
At A. U., Saddens Bomber Crew
Bombadier Wounded
Mortally by Flak in
Raid Over Bizerte
Bv THOMAS R. HENRY,
.Star Staff Correspondent
UNITED STATES AIR STATION
IN ENGLAND (By Mail) .—Members
of a United States bomber crew back
j from Africa tell with sobs in their
j voices of the death of their most
popular officer, First Lt. John T.
Sparks of Washington, an American
University student last year.
Lt. Sparks, serving as a bombar
dier, was struck in the head by two
bits of flak while on a raid over
I Bizerte December 13 and died two
days later without regaining con
sciousness. It was the bomber's first
faid in Africa and the toughest it
has yet experienced.
This was a day raid. So heavy
was the flak encountered that the
plane came back on one engine and
with several hundred holes in its
wings and fuselage. Several of the
crew members bailed out. The win
dow beside the co-pilot was shat
tered by the same burst of flak from
which Lt. Sparks got his mortal
wounds. One fragment scraped the
leather off the shoulder of the co
pilot's jacket, but left him unin
jured.
Caught in Flak “Crater.”
“Whatever happens in this war, I
never want to go through anything
like that raid again,” said one of
Lt. Sparks’ closest friends. “For a
few minutes over Bengasi it was
about as near hell as anything I
i ever expect to see. It seemed as if
we were caught in a crater of ex
ploding flak and the men were
choked with the fumes of burning
cordite.”
Lt. Sparks, who had taken part in
raids over St. Nazaire and several
other coast targets as well as the
Bay of Biscay umbrella before going
to Africa, was the smallest man of
the crew. His hobby, say his fellow'
crew members, w'as collecting guns of
all sorts, especially enemy arms.
Around the various airports where
he was stationed he was noted for
his skill as an athlete.
“Just the day before it happened,”
LT. JOHN T. SPARKS.
says his friend, “he and I had been
to a little French school at Oran.
Sparks could talk a little French
and we had a wonderful time trying
to make the kids understand who
we were.”
Popular Student Here.
Lt. Sparks was a member of a
bomber squadron organized in the
United States less than a year ago
which crossed the Atlantic under its
own power and became a part of the
8th Air Force. Quite suddenly one
night cany tlte orders to go to
Africa and they were off in a couple
of hours. In Africa, before its re
cent return to England, they en
gaged in 24 missions.
A popular student here, Lt. Sparks
graduated from Western High
School and attended George Wash
ington University in addition to
American University. He was born
in St. Louis.
The young lieutenant received his
bombardier training at Midland
Field, Tex., graduating in June.
His mother, Mrs. Helen Sparks,
lives at 3700 Massachusetts avenue
N.W. He is also survived by his
widow, Mrs. Annette Sparks, Lans
down, Pa., and his father, T. M.
Sparks, Little Rock, Ark.

Urged Not to Wait for
Personal Solicitation
Completion of Campaign
By April 15 Asked;
Reports Due Monday
An appeal to those interested in
the future of the National. Sym
phony Orchestra to contribute to
the current sustaining fund cam
paign without waiting for personal
solicitation was made today by E. R.
Finkenstaedt, vice chairman of the
drive.
An informal report on the prog
ress of the drive will be made at a
luncheon conference of committee
chairmen on Monday at the Statler
Hotel.
The campaign for $115,000 to
carry the orchestra through its
1943-4 season will close April 15.
Thus far pledges totaling $54,499 76,
or 47.4 per cent of the goal, have
been reported.
Want to End Drive Quickly.
“More than ever before,” Mr.
Finkenstaedt said, “it is imperative
that we finish the drive on schedule.
The Second War Loan drive opens
Monday, and although there is no
real conflict between the two cam
paigns, we in charge of the drive
feel that any apparent conflict must
be resolved as quickly as possible.
For that reason we must have the
full $115,000 the orchestra needs to
carry on next season by the final
report luncheon April 16.”
While the 300 volunteer campaign
workers are bending every effort to
solicit all prospects • assigned to
them, Mr. Finkenstaedt explained, it
is impossible to get in touch per
sonally or by mail with all those
who would like to contribute. He
asked those who wish to contribute
to send their gifts to campaign head
quarters, 1727 K street N.W.
Donors Praise Orchestra.
The vice chairman of the drive
pointed out that there has been a
gratifying response from newcomers
to the city. One letter, accom
i panied by a gift, stated: “As a new
I comer to Washington I have found
i the orchestra the most satisfying
morale builder here. Good luck. ’
Another letter read, in part:
“For many years I have been an
active supporter of the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra. I continue to
do so, but since I’ve been here in
Washington for the past few months
and expect to be here for many more
I want to help the only orchestra
which I have been able to hear with
any degree of regularity.”
Canadians Answer
Hoffman on U. S. Aid
Deny Receiving Funds
Under Lease-Lend Plan
The Canadian Legation here has
sent a letter to Representative
Hoffman, Republican, of Michigan,
emphasizing that Canada receives
no lease-lend aid from the United
States.
Mr. Hoffman, in the House Thurs
day, had questioned whether the
reported renting of Undersecretary
of State Sumner Welles’ home by
the Canadian Women's Army Corps
was to be paid out of "lease-lend
funds provided Canada.”
In a letter to Mr. Hoffman, L. B.
Pearson, Minister Counselor of the
Legation, asserted that "Canada has
not received any lease-lend assist
ance of any kind on its own account
from the United States Govern
ment.”
Mr. Welles recently rented his
home on Massachusetts avenue,
once known as the Townsend man
sion, to the Canadian Women's
Army Corps for a reported $37,000
! a year.
Likening Canada to the United
| States in respect to lease-lend aid,
Mr. Pearson said that Canada has
been able “to assist by ' economic
means some of our Allies who have
had to bear such a large part of the
blows from the common enemy.”
The Canadian official referred the
: Michigan representative to a report
I of Lease-lend Administrator Edward
A. Stettinius, jr„ which said in part:
“During the last year Canada has
provided Great Britain. Russia, Aus
tralia and New Zealand with a bil
lion dollars' worth of supplies with
out payment. In proportion to pop
ulation. this is the equivalent for
; the United States of at least 12
i billion dollars’ worth of lease-lend
I aid.”
