PARIS, June 8.-Berlin, repeated
ly secuted by Allied planes and
showered with propaganda leaflets
since the start Of the war, suffered
its first bombardment last night,
when squadron of naval bomb
ers attacked factories in the SUBJ
urbs, the French Ministry Of Ma.
rine announced today.
GA German spokesman said
there was absolutely no truth"
in the announcement, adding,
I'VE have been out with spy
glasses all day looking for DAM
age. There have been no air.
raid alarms in Berlin and no
rumors Of such bombings.")
The brief French communique
said:
"A squadron Of navy aviation
bombarded on the night of June 7
certain factories in the outskirts
of Berlin. All planes returned to
their bases"
A spokesman for the French Min
istry of Marine said no additional
details could be given but that he
did not think" the bombers were
American-made. 1t is known that
some American-made dive bombers
have been transferred from the
French fleet to land duties.

representative of the japanese En-
bassy, that machine tools are now
indispensable to American defense
and that their export is no longer
permitted.
On Friday, however, President
Roosevelt told a questioner at his
press conference that no restriction
has as yet been imposed, but signifl-
cantly he prefaced his remark by
asking if legislation authorizing
such an embargo had then been en-
acted by Congress.
Already approved by the House
and now pending in the Senate, the
legislation in question would give
to the Chief Executive the power
to prohibit or curtail the export of
munitions, machinery, tools or other
essential materials. Completion of
congressional action is expected
within a few days with the likeli-
hood that formal regulations for
further trade in machine tools will
be forthcoming quickly.
Second step under consideration
is the expansion of our own pro-
duction facilities, mentioned by the
President in his defense message to
Congress on May 16 and already
under study by William S. Knudsen,
production supervisor on the Ma
tional Defense Commission. Yester-
day Mr.. Roosevelt discussed the mat
ter at length with Federal Loan Ad-
ministrator Jesse H. Jones.
