plunged at balloon right over our
heads.
The balloon went down in flames,
and its cable fell behind the shelter
where we were standing.
Every gun on the anti-aircraft
front was hammering away. The
ground shook with the thunderous
bursts.
We saw a plane drop flaming into
the sea. 1t looked like a German
ship.
A short distance away another
splashed. Patrol boats sped out to
where it came down.
Little Damage Reported.
Near the close of the raid an
other balloon near us was shot
down. But the plane that got it was
ringed in anti-aircraft fire and the
pilot seemed to be in trouble as
he wheeled away to get out of range.
All through this fight Nazi planes
we're extending their activities to
Northeast England.
The bombing attack on the light
ship was preceded by machine-gun
fire. Bullets splattered the deck.
The crew members took to a life
boat and we're picked up by a Brit
ish speedboat which raced out from
shore.
Anti-aircraft fire accounted for at
least three dive bombers which !
saw crash.

Interview Distorted,
Says Cudahy, Here
To See President
Cheered in New York,
Ambassador to Belgium
Appears BewiIdered

John Cudahy, Ambassador to Bel
eium who was summoned here from
London for a conference on an "un-
authorized" interview about condi-
tions in Belgium. was given appoint
ments with both President Roosevelt
and Undersecretary of State Welles
this afternoon.
The Ambassador is scheduled to
see the President at o'clock and
Mr.. Welles at 5:45 o'clock.
He arrived here yesterday from
New York. just few days after the
State Department publicly repri-
manded him for what he told cor
respondents.
Appearing a trifle beWildered by
cheers from a crowd in New York
as he stepped from the Dixie Clipper
yesterday. Mr.. Cudahy told news
papermen he was violently shocked
by reports of his interview carried
in British newspapers.
Comments on Army Statement.
Mr.. Cudahy's controversial inter-
view expressed belief that near
famine conditions would prevail IN
Belgium unless food supplies reached
the country from America through
the British blockade.
Asked about his reported state
ment that the German Army in
Belgium behaved more creditably
than American troops might have
done under similar circumstances,
Mr.. Cudahy replied:
After all I was member of the
American Army myself, and if I
criticized the United States Army I
would be criticizing my own army u
"Not Quite What I Said"
The Ambassador described as a
"fair statement" the Associated
Press report of his London remarks

quoted him regarding the behavior
OF German troops compared to what
American soldiers might have dis
played, he said:
The wording was not quite what

aircraft fire as Mr.. Bunnelle
spoke. II can see anti-aircraft
bursts right outside the tele-
phone booth now," Mr.. Bunnelle
told him.
The German attack apparently
did little damage, observers said.
British Fighters on Patrol.
Just before the raid got under
way, saw two formations of q
British fighters patrolling the skies.
AS they slowly circled. big cloud

fighters cut across the coast from
France.
saw the Royal Air Force planes
wheel back, zoom up in the air
and then with a bursting roar Of
motors they began the attack.
Best estimates were that there
were about 100 German planes in
this bunch. When the British
opened fire. the Nazis first formed
a big circle. The British ringed
around them on the outside and
started to dive in and out of the
formation.
Then quickly the single big battle
broke up into a series Of dogflghts
Other planes could be heard on
a higher level, out of sight, appar-
emily making for inland targets,
while the big mass kept the de-
tenders busy along the Channel.
Wild Jamboree of Planes.
From then on it was a wild jam
boree of fighting planes, and ! could
hear bombs exploding inland with
earth-shaking rumbles between
bursts of anti-aircraft fire. the chat
ter OF machine guns and the din
of cannon.
After the raid ended was talk
ing to one of the men who went to
the rescue of the lightship crew.
He said no direct hits we're scored
on the ship, but bombs were drop
ping all around her and opened
her seams"
THE ightship went down by the
stern and we had to lay by her and
watch two poor blokes 90 down"
he said.
Trains were slowed down by the
raid. H. Taylor Henry of Palestine,
Tex, a fellow Associated Press cor
respondent, who came in just after
the raid, said that his train re-
duced to half speed and that in
cendiary bombs were dropped
around it.

80 Foreign WorpIones

BERN, Switzerland, Aug. 14.-Un-
identified foreign planes which flew
over Switzerland early today roared
probably toward Italian industrial
centers," an official Swiss communi-
que stated, indicating they may have
been British.
The communique said about 80
foreign planes crossed the Swiss
western frontier over the Jura

returned.
No bombs we're dropped on Swiss
territory, but alarms were sounded
in three regions over which planes

On the other hand, Col. Rehman
said the overnight game was the
first occasion in which the brigade

a reinforced brigade or combat

stances they did quite well.
Roosevelt to Review Troops.
It was announced today that PreSi-

troops of the 29th Division, includ-
ing the District Guard, Saturday

Staff officers went full speed ahead

President and Maj. Gen. Milton A.

1t. Col. Herbert Grymes, division
personnel officer, said the field Sc
lected for the review covered so or

for such military display. The
site is near the encampment of the
54th Field Artillery Brigade, COM

TRAINING IN SURGERY

American surgeons are perhaps equal
to any in the world, but there are not
enough of them who have had the long
training necessary to become highly skilled
in their profession This is the view of
the American College of Surgeons itself,
which is making plans to increase training
facilities.
These plans include three-year sys-
TEN Of super-training," which is expected
to ultimately turn out 600 or more new
surgeons of exceptional skill each year.
BY this means it is hoped to provide bet
ter surgical aid to smaller communities, as
we'll as to the larger cities.
Following study of the problem,
3S1 hospitals have been approved to give
this advanced training in accordance with
official standards to be established. One
object sought is to broaden the general sur
gical knowledge of specialists who now
work in restricted fields. Additional hos
pitfalls will be approved as qualified to give
this higher training from time to time.
Aside from the designation of train
ing hospitals, the American College of
Surgeons has also announced its general
approval of the staffs, equipment and
methods of 2,72O hospitals as being up to
a satisfactory standard.
The total number of hospitals in the
United States is 6,166, according to latest
available figures.
