MAIL FROM JAPAN JETTISONED BY COURIER PLANE
(Rec. 11.5 a.m.) TOKIO, June 23. Eighteen bags of mail from the 8.C.0.F. for Australia and New Zealand were jettisoned on June 18 when the engine failed on an R.A.A.F. Courier over Halmahera. The plane, which had just left Morotai on the last leg of a four-day trip from Tokio to Darwin, returned safely to Morotai after jettisoning all the mail, freight, and baggage. The mail came from all parts of the 8.C.0.F. and was mostly for Australia, although including one bag of 311 b for New Zealand
