NAzI BOMBERS
BLAST BRISTOL
HEAVY CIVILIAN CASUAL
TIES ADMITTED BY
AIR MINISTRY
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, March 17.-Heavy
civilian casualties at Bristol were
admitted by the air ministry to-
day after two souadrons of Ger
man bombers blasted the city
last night.
No official estimate on the
number of civilian dead has been
made, but hundreds are believed
to have suffered death or injuries
in the second of the two attacks.
Air raid Wardens in Bristol said
many people returned to their
homes after the first raid, think
ing it was all over, and were
caught in their beds when more
than 200 planes roared in for the
second attack.
German squadronS attacked
seven industrial towns in central
England during the night, but
the air ministry said damage was
slight and the planes were kept
at a high altitude by anti-aircraft
guns.
Bad weather over the French
coast apparently kept the Raj
out of action during the night.

Let's suppose that you were in

Under national defense, life in
Washington is hitting new tenn

and new is coming in. It's diff
ficult to say where one should
start to explain it, but I'm going
to start with society. When a

Sixty Persons Are Known
Dead In Howling Blizzard
Cry Associated Press)

T A bowling blizzard which in
some sections was the worst in
history, is rolling east across
Michigan and Illinois today leav-
ing nearly 60 known dead in its
wake.
Forty-Seven are known to have
persisted in Minnesota and North
Dakota and scores are missing.
Four died in Manitoba, British
Columbia, and coast guardsmen
are looking for 20 persons adrift
on an ice floe since Saturday in
Lake Superior.
Roads in most sections of the
storm-whipped states still are
blocked and searching parties of
residents and state patrolmen fear
they will find many more dead
as the snow is cleared away.
The storm, piling up huge drifts
nj awind which reached a velo-
city of IS miles an hour, caught
hundreds of persons in auto
mobiles and most of the deaths
resulted from cold and exhaustion
to people caught away from their
homes.
Temperatures, which had been
lowering near the 40 degree mark
in parts of Minnesota, suddenly
dropped below zero Saturday
night and early Sunday morning.
