SHORT SKIRTS FOR WOMEN OF
 GREAT BRITAIN
WooIen Underwear Also 10 Be Worn During Win-
 fer Bright CoIors

LONDON, Nov. 15.-The average British woman will wear shorter skirts and woolen underwear and British new woolen dresses this winter because of the aerial blitz- krieg.
 A survey of London shops indi- cated that common sense. will be the keynote of war fashions. The wearing of uniforms and tin hats by women dictated the present trend toward shorter, simpler styles of hair dressing while winter tenn peratures in air raid shelters have made the London woman vote for wool rather than silk, both in frocks and underwear.
 The general gloom of war is bringing bright colors into their own again in England, as British women strive to keep cheery out look.

SWARMS OF WAR PLANES MAKE SMASHING ASSAULT
Over 20 Fires Reported Raging Hundreds Be-

(By Associated Press)

German night raiders last night inflicted toll of 1000 believed killed and hundreds injured in a smashing assault on Coventry, a city in the industrial midlands of Eng land, with a population of 10000 about 90 miles from London. Coven- try is one of the most important industrial centers of England.
 The British communique announc- ed that charging Nazi airmen com- mitted 'indiscriminate lombard ment of the whole city"
 Berlin Exults
 In Berlin, the Nazis exultantly de- clared that the ancient Engish city where Lady Godiva once rode naked on the back of a white horse through the town, is ''engulfed in an ocean of flames"
 An armada of 500 German bomb- CTS carried out the attack, Nazi quarters declared, sweeping the city of Coventry with deluge of 30,000 incendiary bombs and more than l. 100000 pounds of high explosives.
 Raid in Retaliation
 Hitler's High Command said of- ficially the raid on Coventry was in retaliation" for the British raid on Munich the night Hitler spoke there last week
 Hitler's High Command also of ficially describes the attack on Cov- entry as a monster raid, especially fierce, successful and causing tre- mendous devastation"
 Town in SmOuldering Ruins
 Today, the city is smouldering ruins, with uncounted townspeople still entombed in the mountainous heaps of ruble.
 Many fires were reported still burning late this afternoon, firemen working against overwhelming odds.
 The city's 14th century cathedral and 303-foot spire is among tho ruins.
 Worst Attack Recorded
 The British Air Ministry said the night raid was the worst attack on any British city, including London, since the aerial siege of Great Bri- tain began.
 The British, communique, issued today noon, says the .'city suffered very seriously but the people are bearing the ordeal with great cour- age"
 The German communique says 20 great fires were left raging in the city where the Morris Bristol and Rover Napier Motor Works, and General Electric plant is said to be situated.

Oil Bloc In Europe
 Disclosed
Italy and Germany Making Agreements with Ru-
 mania, Soviet Union

ROME, Nov. 15.-A spokesman ol the Italian government said this morning that Italy agrees in prin- cipal regarding the arrangement made in Berlin earlier this week to supply IItelu's mechanical wal machine from the rich oil fields O Rumania. The agreement is believed reached during the Antonescue con- ference yesterday.
 The statement this morning said that other economic accords were drafted-some of which were ex- pected to result in increased Ru- man;an agricultural and mineral production, especially copper and iron.
 The development of a European oil bloc under Axis guidance is seen here as definitely envisaged as the result of the Antonescue and Molotov trips. In. this connection it is understood that Italy's oil deal would mainly be with Rumania whereas Germany would deal with the Soviet Union.
 The exchange of commercial mis- sions between Italy and Rumania also are said to have been discussed with the General impression being given that the Antonescu mission was mainly an economic move in- tended to improve the wartime out look.

SEATTLE, Nov. IS. = Further counting of absentee ballots in the extremely close race for Governor of the State of Washington gives Republican Arthur Langlie of Se- attle a lead of nearly 5000 votes over former United States Senator Dill of Spokane.
 Meanwhile Dill supporters chal- lenged the validity of about 10000 votes, and threatened court ac- tion.
 The State Attorney Generals of flee has rejected the protests.
 Langlie's election is certain, un- less a court suit should change the result. Most of the absentee votes counted are from strongly Republi- can districts.

 Although only $3O is being paid for each of the water colors, the paintings are rolling in in great numbers, proving how well Bruce knew his artists when he said: Tt will, I know, be very pleas ant thought to the artists whose water colors are purchased to know that they are bringing pleasure to the unfortunates condemned by their dread disease to spend their lives in this hospital"

Royal Air Force Planes Rain Terror of Death
 on Berlin $ Millions
FLAMES FROM RAGING
 FIRES LIGHT UP SKIES
Rowing Attacks Also Made from Sidvanger, Norway,
 to Lorient, French Base
(By Associated Pressl

Berlin's millions felt the terror of death last night from the skies as Royal Air Force raiders attacked the German capital in the heaviest waves thus far, setting countless tlles and killing an unknown num- Der of Germans.
 Apar tment buildings were wrecked by the bombs
 The German High Command said only 10 or IS British bombers pene- trated to the heart of Berlin and "only few bombs were dropped on the Reich's Capital and no noteworthy damage was done.'
 The British fliers, returning to their bases, said some noteworthy damage must have been done as flames from raging fires lit up the entire heavens and black smoke rolled up at great height.
 The British Air Ministry said the RAF also sprayed bombs around the Berlin railway stations and terrific explosions were heard, high in the air.
 Other far rowing attacks are re- ported by the Air Ministry. RAF bombers slashed 26 airdromes and shipping at Stavanger, Norway, down to Lorient, the German U- boat base on the French coast
 The British Air Ministry admits losing 10 planes in the raids made last night.

 IN STRAITS

VICTORIA, B. O.. Nov. 15.-Can- adian authorities warned shipping today that a depth bomb is loose in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, be- tween Victoria and the United States, but said that there probably is no danger.
 How the bomb happened to be released in the Strait is not ex- plained. The authorities said the depth bomb contained enough ex- plcsives to sink battleship, but probably has either exploded or be- come waterlogged.

WASHINGT TON-It has not leaked out yet, but the State De- partment went pretty far in pres surfing the Vichy Government to surrender the 93 planes which the U. s. Navy once sold France and which now are rusting away at Martinique. The State Department even threatened to sever diplomatic relations if the French were too stiff-necked about these airplanes. Sumner Welles has had several talks with Ambassador Henri- Have regarding Martinique, and at one time when Welles asked that the planes be returned to the United States, the French Ambassador ac- tually replied: I'm afraid it might get us into trouble with Berlin"
 In other words, Vichy is taking orders from Berlin almost every step of the way.
 Meanwhile the agreement nego- tiated by Marshal Petain and Hit Ter is cloaked in the strictest secre- cy. Some of the main points have leaked out, however, and if these leaks are correct, France and Ger many agree to cooperate for the peace of Europe. Since Great Britain is now the only country disturbing 'the peace of Europe -at least in the eyes of the Nazis this means that France will CO., operate with Germany in forcing Britain into peace.
 This is the formula by which France justifies the leasing to Ger many of her naval bases and air fields around the Mediterranean. This means Nazi control of Syria, all-important in the Nazi drive from the Balkans to Suez; and Da- kar, which is all-important in dis

 A few years ago, Bruce was him. self confined to hospital during long illness. The barren walls of the hospital room day after day drove home the lack of cheer which a few bright, happy paint ings might save patients life. There was little he could do about it at once, for the government WAS not building hospitals just then.
