nearby.

Keefe kept right on at the teletype.
No one went back to sleep Even
down in our cellar we could hear
the German raiders. I went up to
the door on the street. 1t was a
swell night. Reverberations came
from plane motors, bearing death
and destruction.
There were scattered blasts o.
bombs for half an hour. Then we
heard the w-hiz-z-z-z-z-z of one fall
ing and the heavy "wham!" of an
explosion.
We crouched by the wall for a lons

ATTACK
BERLIN, GERMANS
HIT LONDON AGAIN
Continued from Page One)

(SUI1blllue0 from rage Ule) o.
night after a day of attacks in
which they sent over the biggest
daytime bomber formations seen
in nearly two weeks.
The Germans darted about the
outskirts until they found an open
ing in London's defenses, then sped
across the metropolis, tossing off
their bombs. Their changed tactics
apparently resulted from a new de-
vice the British themselves tried
for the first time-a searchlight de-
tense featuring bright beams
thrown at right angles to cover
every foot of the skies in the as
sault area.
AS this 10Th successive night of
air siege wore on, activity in cen
trail London slackened but in the
western section the anti-aircraft
guns sent up a heavy barrage
against Germans whose bombs
barely missed a big apartment
block. Windows in the entire block
were shattered by the conclusion.
Planes Destroyed
An early morning air ministry
communique said 26 German
planes yer destroyed in yester-
days air battles, % by fighters
and four by anti-aircraft.
The Nazis, attempting to out1ank
a heavy outer anti-aircraft bar
rage, flew north and south above
the city. The noise of their bombs
rose occasionally above the ground
fire.
Much of their attack was concen-
trated in a northwestern area,
where flaming incendiary bombs
were dropped. (The great Hendon
military airdrome is in that gen.
eral area.)
For hours there was scarcely a
break in the anti-aircraft fire above
central London and high explosive
and incendiary bombs fell stead
lily. One heavy bomb wrecked Win
dows 100 yards distant from where
it fell in an important street.
Now and then a raider dropped
a flare, thus lighting up the target
for following planes.
121st Raid
At the same time, the northwest
coastal district was undergoing its
121st raid since the outbreak OF
war.
Summing up tonight the heavy
action of the day, the air ministry
said really large bomber forma-
tons had appeared over England
for the first time ''since the Luft-
waffe's defeat of Sept. 15"-the day

new LOCAL ARMORY
PROJECT APPROVED

Dunn, Burlington and Shelby. Last
week new armories were started by
tbe WPA at Warrenton and Roanoke
Rapids.
Other defense projects approved
nv the WPA and war department re-
GENTLY include an u~nspecified amount
for an airport at Goldsboro, 1911, 900
for airport improvements at Char
Dtte, and 1854, 900 for an airport at
Chapel Hill for training University
t North Carolina and Duke stu
ients as pilots.
Conn in his statement at Raleigh
said that any local government agen-
cy must furnish the ground on
which a project is to be built, this
being true of all projects. The war
department approval was on the
projects as submitted, he said.
With so many applications from
all over the United States for par
ticipation in the $4,000, 900 appro-
"priation by congress to aid in de-
tense projects, it appears that it
will not be likely that a project will
be carried out without substantial
contributions by the sponsors.
In the case of Wilmington appar-
emily the only contributions in the
new armory project is providing a
site for the building and furnishing
the skilled labor, if necessary in the
work of construction.
Mayor Cooper said that there
would be no delay in starting work
toward securing a site for the ar
nory and setting up further details

inflicted heavy casualties.
(The battleships Barham and
Resolution and the heavy cruiser
Kent were hit, the French asserted,

fight with a sharp list and trailing
oil.
RenOW n Damaged
TN addition, the French said
their heavy reprisal bombings of
Gibraltar had DANCED the British
battle cruiser Renown and caused
severe damage to the Gibraltar
works.
The genesis of the Dakar YEN
ture was laid by the ministry of in
formation to de Gaulle, who, it
said, had reason to believe that
the French colony of Senegal would
welcome his arrival, and establish
an anti-German situation such as
already existed in French equa-
torial Africa.
The ritish naval squadron went
along, the ministry said, to support
de Gaulle if he needed aid, and be-
cause of growing German influ-
ence in the colony.
Instead of the welcome he ex-
pected, de Gaulle and his white
tagged emissaries, S ent ashore
from his force of about 1000 men
on six transports, ran into fierce
gun fire.
The British admiral ordered the
French ashore to ees;st. When
they continued shooting, the British
guns returned the fire.
Then, after three days, the min
istry said, the decision to stop
fighting was reached when it be-
came plain that only a major oper-
alton of war" could win control OF
the strategic capital of West
Africa.
Other AdverSitieS
(The withdrawal after a bloody
fight, recalled similar British adj
vefsities in this war: the with
drawals from Norway, from the
low countries and fir British
Somaliland.)
ut the ministry asserted lit had
never been the intention OF his
majesty's government to enter into
serious warlike operations against
those Frenchmen who felt it their
duty to obey the command of the
Vichy government"
(The Vichy government, which
late tonight had reported that 1t
believed the battle still in progress,
was bitter in denunciation OF both
the British and de Gaulle.
ct said six British landing at
tempts had failed and the violent
attacks had killed at least 80
Frenchmen and wounded $685.
The ministry reiterated the Brit
ish contention that the expedition
against Dakar was decided upon
by de Gaulle, and endorsed n

Smaller Foreign Sales
Surprise Copper Trade
~ the Associated Press,

~ the ASoociated PreSs.
NEW YORK, March 16.-Smaller
foreign sales Of copper IN February
than January took ferrous
metal markets by surprise when last
months statistics were released this
week.
Contrary to the. generally held be-
lief that foreign sales Of the red
metal were on the upgrade, the
February total dropped 3,523 to
0,504 tons.
At the same time domestic Use OF
copper declined to 72.809. or 3l.736
tons less than January consump-
ton.
Smaller use Of the metal laid the
groundwork for the first increase
in available supplies since May last
year but producing interests vel
coined the reversal In trend since
stocks at present are equal to only
about two months needs.
Refined stocks increased 9,952
tons to 145,393 which compared with
the 1880 high Of 337, 7,l55 tons at the
end Of May.
Domestic buyers. meanwhile, were
content to coast along with small
daily orders although the price was
firmly maintained by producers at
l1h cents . pound.
In the export section Russia was
said to be in the market for around
10000 tons Of copper. Although the
Soviets were believed ready to pay
q premium over current prices, trade
sources said the order had not been
filled. Foreign buyers were quoted
around ll.60-ll.65 cents a pound for
nearby shipment.
