Through It's subsidiaries, affiliates and part ners in America 1t has controlled the amounts of It's patented process chemicals that could be manufac- tured in the United States and 1t has dictated territorial limits in which these products made in the U. s. A. could be sold. The reason why the United States has Q scarc- ity of magnesium, synthetic rub- Der and some of the newer explo- sives is simply that before the war I.

 Synthetic rubber, production of which has been slow in development in the United States because of the pre-war abundance of imported raw rubber, has been further cur- tailed by I. c. F.

Heavy Damage Inflicted In
Fourth Consecutive Raid
On Great English Sea-
port

tBy Associated Pressl
Nazi bombers last night for the
fourth night in succession struck
with devastating force at Eng
lands great port of Plymouth.
For more than four hours. Ger
man planes by the hundreds rain
ed fire bombs and high explosives
over the city. which only a few
hours before had turned out en-
masse for burial services dedi-
Gated TO the dead from the raids
of the three previous nights.
Varying their usual procedure,
the German planes were reported
to have drppped bombs filled with
oil all over the city, then returned
to spill an estimated 10000 fire
bombs and thousands of high ex-
plosives. Observers said the
bombers apparently were of a
hitherto unusued type, since they
exploded with far greater force
than those which have been used
previously.
Royal Air Force planes launch
ed new attacks against the Ger.
man occupied port of Brest in
France, but the air ministry adj
mitted that the force of German
attacks is steadily increasing, and
that damage last night at Ply
mouth was heavy.
German bombers this morning
were launching new offensive
against cities along England's
southeast coast, but neither gov
eminent reported any details of
the new daylight attacks.
The heavy raid on Plymouth
was reported in Berlin to have
been one of several attacks on
cities in that area, with heavy
damage reported in all of them.
