Technical Violation
Attorney A. Henry Weissman, who
represented Bloom and appealed the
verdict, argued that the selling Of
three parsnips by Bloom was only q
technical violation,
ut was purely On error In this
case" the attorney said, HE
thought he could sell vegetables be-
cause they are perishable,"
Welsman then reminded the court
that the complaining witnesses,
Ralph DeVino, OF 20 South View
street, and Joseph PetruSzl, Of 1887
Baldwin street, had testified that
they tried UNNECESSARILY 10 purchase
cans OF preserves,
Bloom had oil the intention In
the world to observe the law" the
attorney said. 1T was merely O
matter OF not knowing the law
fully" He then told the court that
Bloom had gone TO his store last
Sunday TO tell customers that here
after he would close Sundays,
"There Ia nothing In the statute
which specifies that vegetables may
DO sold on Sunday" Judge 0aifney
said, and agreed with Prosecuting
Attorney Michael J, 0Nlullo that
an example must DO made or the
violations will continue.

given as its objective the destruction
of provisions and storehouses slight
ly north of the U-shaped bend OF
the Thames" Rechenberg said.
Our flyers were happy at last to
have an exciting Grand. Laying
mines, going on scouting expeditions
and occasionally dropping bombs on
conveys had become an uninterest-
ing routine matter. Now at last
we had real assignment.
After the Fuehrer's speech Sep
TENDER announcing that reprlsals
were in the offlng we had been
keyed up and it was a psychological
relief when the command came to
rain bombs on predetermined OBJ
jectives.
Remember wed been getting
letters from home about nights
spent in air raid shelters, about
British dropping bombs on civilian
detectives, etc, so We were just
itching to get back at the British.
Eggs" of Formidable Size.
IF 1 could reveal TO you how
many planes started that first night
and have been starting since in in
creasing numbers your hair would
stand on end" Rechenberg said.
Our eggs were of formidable
size, too. If they were dropped on
this ministry where you and l are
sitting there wouldn't be anything
left.
We could identify London easily
even as We left our home base be-
cause of the red cloud Of burning
docks silhouetted against the sky.
Anti-aircraft guns began to peck
at us when We reached London at
least 900 to a thousand searchlights
were in action. But we continued
on our course which was rendered
easy because the Thames bend Is
widely visible.
Together with other units We
strafed section about two miles
long. The effect appeared to be ter
rife.
After each bomb I ran from the
front part of the plane to the stern
to watch whether We hit the mark.
One of the most exciting moments is
always that Immediately after a
heavy bomb has been dropped.
There's always the fear that pos
sibly it went into the Thames instead
of hitting a mark on land.
But from the great cloud Of
smoke and rapidly spreading flames
We saw We had scored full hits.
"On Sunday we started again.
The picture of London was grue-
some. Everywhere fires were either
burning brightly or smouldering.
Between the fires were veritable
The steel Orders of large build
ings indicated that these mean
while had burned out. One plane
in our formation had orders to
pierce through smoke clouds and
fly under them for closer observa-
ton.
That required courage. for the
black plane, silhouetted against the
smoke clouds, was an easy mark
for anti-aircraft fire. The pilot of
this plane reported. however, that
there was no anti-aircraft action in
this whole docks area.
Il suppose the heat is so terrific
and the smoke so thick that no
human being can remain within
this section of London to tend to
anti-aircraft guns"

Bremen in Flames,
British Airmen
Report After Raid
City Blasted for z Hours;
Series Of Explosions
Started at CobIenz
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, Sept. 3.-"Bremen is
on flre-and what a fire" was the
first remark of British bomber
pilot returning from a raid over
Germany yesterday.
Said another:
Fires are blazing all over the
place, making a solid triangle of
flame. 1t looked bad enough from
10000 feet. On the ground it must
have been an inferno"
Pilots said Bremen was bombed
for two hours. They also said bombs
dropped on the railway yards at
Coblenz caused numerous fires and
started a series of sharp explosions
as though an ammunition train was
hit.
At Cologne, they reported, bombs
burst on railway line and strad-
died a bridge across the Rhine,
causing fires and explosions.
Reports from pilots compiled by
the Air Ministry news service told
of British bombers pounding Ger
man docks and invasion bases
railroads and airdromes for hours
on end. The raids extended from
the Channel coast to the Baltic
Sea and included inland towns as
we'll
The German-occupied ports of
Calais, Boulogne and Flushing and
Germanys own Hamburg, Bremen,
Bremerhaven and Wilhelmshaven
had the contents of British bomb
racks emptied on them, the British
reports declared.
Docks at Flushing, the Neither
lands, where a large number of
barges were moored, were bombed
persistently for an hour and con-
centration of barges higher up the
coast were hit and damaged, these
reports said.
More barges were reported hit and
damaged at Ostend, Belgium, where
during a four-hour raid bombs were
dropped on docks and basins. Here
fires were reported raging in all
parts of the harbor and two ex-
plosions gave off a huge column of
smoke that pierced the cloud layer
10000 feet above the harbor.
The British reports said railway

The Government finally has be-
come tangled up in its own travel
regulations which have hit the
pocketbooks of many an employee
who unwittingly incurred expenses
on off1cial missions that could not
be reimbursed.
The new trouble arose from the
heavy seasonal travel between Hon.
olulu and the mainland which has
put shipping accommodations at a
premium. 1t is delaying return to
this country of engineering employees
whom the Government has con-
tracted to bring back when their
work is finished.
With time on their hands, they
are drawing salary and per diem
expenses ranging from 50 to IS, be-
cause they are entitled only to
passage and the lowest first-class
rate. and such accommodations no
longer are available.
