On the eve OF the anniversary Of
the Nazi blitzkrieg invasion of Po-
land, Adolf Hitler's military mastery
of continental Europe was demon
strated by quick and arbitrary
settlement of threatened territorial
conflict in the Balkans. That-with
the apparent willingness of Soviet
RusSia-left the decks clear for an
axis onslaught against the British
empire.
That offensive already was in
progress from the British Isles to
Africa but Hitler's carving up Of
Rumania in the last "a hours ap-
peared to throw the aerial warfare
into high gear.
British planes swept low over the
German capital during the night
in a two-hour raid that caused ex-
tel,Sive damage and soon after dawn
the Nazi air fleet again was crash
ing against British defenseS and
scatcrintg high explosives in the
London area. Casualties and damage
appeared to be high on both sides
but were hidden by censorship.
The last "a hours of aerial at
tack in the London area has been
the most intense of the war. in ad
dition to widespread thrusts by Nazi
bombers seeking to destroy British
air bases in other sectors. The Brit

Berlin Attacks
Real Start of Aerial
Blitzkrieg' Is On
Say British

LONDON, Aug. 81. (UP)
Seeking to knock out the
royal air force in what Brit
ons described as the real
start of the aerial blitZkrieg,"
German bomberS roared over Eng
land in successive waves today and
at 5:48 pm. London heard its fourth
air raid alarm of the day.
During the fourth air alarm anti
aircraft guns fired heavily in the
London area and five German
bombers appeared high over the
capital district, with shells bursting
around them.
Just before the fourth alarm walled
in London the air ministry said
that German bombers had attacked
an airdrome in East Anglia and
another near the Thames estuary
but said that mo reports of any
serious damage to the airdromes
so far have been received"
| Earlier the air ministry had told
in detail of a smashing British raid
against the very center of Berlin
last night and it quoted pilots who
participated in rhe raid as saying
that great fires and explosions in
the greater Berlin area resulted
from the British bombardment.
The air ministry said also that
last night British planes heavily
attacked German basJS in France,
including Boulogne and CherbOurg.
Other attacks were made on Cape
Griz Nez, France, Gelsenkirchen,
Magdeburg, Emden. Hamm and
Soest, in Germany and Holland.
The ministry said that considerable
damage was inflicted by the British
bombers operating over the con-
tinent.
In addition to four waves OF
bombers appearing in the London
defense area, one formation OF
German planes was turned back
by anti-aircraft fire and fighters
before it reached the city and an
other was chased from Dover where
it attacked the balloon barrage.
possibly as a feint to attract British
fighters from the greater London
area
Officially, the British claimed that
38 German planes were shot down
today. 1t was admitted that l6
British fighter planes were missing
but that IL of their pilots were
safe.
The air ministry said that Ger
many'S onslaught against England
today began shortly after am.
when formation crossed the Kent
coast. All attacks appeared to have
had airdromes as their objectives
although bombs dropped widely,
many short of their marks.
The ministry said that another
German force crossed the Thames
estuary to attack the air port in
East Anglia, where some damage
was done before the Germans were
driven back with losses Still an
other attack was made on Thames
estuary airdrome where bombs,
dropping on several points, caused
several casualties.

A resolution adopted at a grow

the secretary of agriculture today
to make every effort to continue

Hopes continued high Sat-
urday for obtaining, eventual
ly at least, an underpass for
Ell Centro as we'll as WPA
projects to help expand Wa
ter facilities in the city, repair the
outfall sewer line and improve
streets.
Councilman Charles Bratton and
Director of Public Works C. Walter
Heinecke reported that at a state
highway commission meeting in
Santa Barbara this week members
of the commission reiterated their
favor for the underpass project
at railroad and Main street.
"Bratton presented the city's case
and assured the commission of the
city's expectations Heinecke de-
clared. Members individually said
the project was No. / on their list
and one of the most worthwhile in
the state"
The commission apparently hoped
to get the plan into next years
budget which will be drawn up
during September and october. The
commission, during those months
will meet in Sacramento, Heinecke
said the board had agreed to meet
in Ell Centro in January SO as to
gain first hand information on the
project.
Action appeared to hinge upon
the position of State Director OF
Public Works Frank Clarke, whose
inspection visit to the valley this
summer was postponed. Clarke was
not present at the Santa Barbara
meeting.
Meanwhile, Heinecke and City
Engineer M. J. Shelton planned to
go to Los Angeles next week to
speed WPA action on proposed
projects to finance sewer repair,
improve streets aid expand water
mains. They will carry data on the
local situation.
Heinecke, after conferences in Los
Angeles this week with WPA Off
cials, said the outlook was bright.
e said he hoped to get action by
Nov l. Normally it takes mini
mum of between two and three
months to obtain approval in Wash

(UP) - German planes at
tackled battle Scared Dover
today and within 10 minutes
the skies were aglow from
burning buildings.
An anti-aircraft barrage rever
berated for miles around as every
available British gun aided in
throwing a curtain of steel aloft-
and sending a rain of shrapnel back
onto the pavementS.
In cutters along Main street you
could pick up still smoking, incen-
diary bullets which German planes
had poured into the balloons of the
Dover barrage.
Everywhere, shrapnel was clat-
tering on rooftops.
Britons standing around the en-
trance to q hotel actually cheered
in admiration of the daring of four
German filters maneuvering to at
tack the balloon barrage under in
tensive fire from the British de-
tenders.
AS the four planes were heading
for the open sea balloon caught
the eyes of their pilots. The four
pilots seemed to consult and one
Of the planes turned back boldly
and shot down the balloon in
flames.
The German attack, it had been
believed, presaged a dive bombing
onslaught on Dover but it failed
to materialize and for the most
part the balloon barrage was the
objective of the attackers.
Among the balloons there were
many casualties. They included
Dockyard Dolly, Undulating Ursula,
Willie and King Lear. The British
have been having fun giving names
to the balloons, which they replace
methodically as fast as the Ger
mans shoot them down.

'iiiiii, y. CO6di I1OOVcl, CIllcl VI tIle
FBI, disclosed today.
Bridges has been under investiga-
ton in San Francisco, Seattle,
Portland and Los Angeles for a
week, Hoover said here. He is act
ing under instructions from U. S.
Attorney General Robert H. Jack
son in accordance with new federal
policy placing the FBI in charge of
all Investigations of subversive or
ganizations and individuals.
Our purpose is to find out ex-
actly what Bridges status is
whether he ever was or is a mem
ber of the Communist party" said
Hoover.
Dean James Lands of Harvard
University last summer cleared
Bridges of charges that he was
a member of the Communist party
at the time of deportation proceed
ings conducted here during last
July and August. Since then, how
ever, the law has been changed
to make an alien deportable if at
any time during his residence here
he was a member of a subversive
or foreign controlled organization.
The new investigation was based
on the amended law.
Although his agents are investi-
eating Bridges, they will not inquire
into the International Longshore-
mems and Warehousemen's union,
CIO, which Bridges heads.
Hoover revealed that the FBI has
n defense index of close to 5000
names of persons who might be SUBJ
ject to internement or deportation
in time of national emergency.
He said the list was made up
largely of Nazis, Communists and
Fascists, land while it doesn't ex-
ceed 5000 names, there are lots of
