Guns Built for Firing Captured Rockets at Japs MANILA, P. I. Japanese troops on the Shimbu front were shelled by their own rockets recently but it took the ingenious efforts of Capt. W. E. Winterstein of Fillmore, Calif., to make it possible. During the last few days, the first cavalry and Sixth divisions captured cap-tured many thousands of rounds of big caliber Japanese rocket ammunition. am-munition. But they didn't find any usable Japanese rocket guns, so . Winterstein built one and fired Japanese Japa-nese rockets at the enemy. The Nipponese used rockets, rang-1 rang-1 ing in size up to 18 inches, more extensively ex-tensively on Luzon than any previous previ-ous campaign in the southwest Pacific.
