high explosives and incendiaries
dropping most of the night. The
crews said numerous fires were
started. At the same time docks at
kristiansand were bombed.
Hitherto, the Dutch flyers had
been restricted in their activities to
protection of shipping and perfect
ing their training.

May flowers were laid on the graves
of thousands of Dutch soldiers and
civilians today as the Netherlands
quietly honored those who fell when
the German Army began its march
to the English Channel just one
year ago.
No public commemoratiOn services
were permitted, however. News
papers printed warnings against dis
turbances or demonstrations against
German occupation authorities.
The graves of German soldiers
who fell during the brief campaign
were not forgotten. Members of the
Dutch Nationalist Youth Organiza-

of both nations following meetings
attended by German Nazis.

The ban on public demonstrations
will be lifted tomorrow TO permit a
parade at Utrecht before Anton

The Netherlands press carried
articles declaring the Dutch and
Germans should forget their diff
ferences and collaborate in the
great German community as BROTH

The Germans have complained
that the Dutch have been slow to act

the Germans for recent acts of

with the Belgians, for they probably
have suffered less from lack of food
The recent rationing of milk and
potatotes on top of other rationing
however, has made the food problem
in the Netherlands more difficult
especially for the poor. Living costs
are increased, although wages re-
main at the same level.
Communal kitchens are increasing
and more residents are being drawn
to them daily.
Unemployment is decreasing due
in part to the increasing number
Of workers going to Germany. High
er taxes are expected, especially on
business, because of an enormous
rise in the cost of government.
Approximately sl20,000,000 will be
paid out this year for damage, and
the cost of occupation is estimated
at about S700,000,000.

R. A.F. 5purt Believed
Due TO Increasing
j. !. Assistance
Ala Planes Exported
To Britain in Month,
Double September Total

Br the Associated Press.
The tremendous squirt IN Britain S
aerial warfare this week was de-
scribed by some military authorities
today as evidence that United States
assistance is enabling the British to
use both defensive and offensive
planes in much greater numbers than
heretofore.
These authorities cited three re-
cent developments involving plane
supplies from this country as con-
tributing to the r. A. F'S reported
success in taking heavy toll of Nazi
attack bombers and spreading de-
struCtion over Hamburg, Bremen and
other Reich cities.
They pointed first to the huge and
steady increase in American military
plane production this spring. In
March the output of both CONNER
cial and military craft totaled 1915
Last month the output of military
planes alone was 1927. about equally
divided between training and COM
bat craft with probably more than
half of the latter destined for
Britain.
Ala Planes Sent in Month.
This was indicated by the fact
that in March Ala planes were ex-
ported to the British, as compared
with a total of 2OS last September
and only 81 last May when the Nazis
were pressing their blitzkrieg into
France.
In the second place, the experts
said that American help in deliver
ing war supplies by turning over
cargo ships to Britain and extending
the neutrality patrol means the
British high command is more as
sured than ever before of receiving
air craft replacements in constantly
increasing quantities.
Third. it is believed in informed
quarters that with the advent of
good weather this spring an in
creaSlng number of long-range
bombers has been flown across the
Atlantic to Britain. in addition to
short range fighters sent by ship.
Many of the latest deliveries may
not vet have seen active service
But Lord Beaverbrook disclosed re-
Gently that the R. A. F. had a re-
serve strength of 100 per cent of its
first line fighting strength. While
military experts consider this to be
comparatively slender margin of
reserve power, they say it could be
drawn on for current opera.io
provided additional reserves were in
sight.
Drive Under Way Year.
Intensive efforts to produce mill
tarv planes by the thousands we're
undertaken in this country lust a

that President Roosevelt. in a spe-
clal defense message to Congress,
set a production goal of $4,000 planes
annually-a figure which was
promptly challenged as being beyond
the Nations capacity at any time
In the then predictable future.
AS Of today, however, officials of
the Office of Production Manage
ment privately expressed hope for a
total production this year of 21,OOO
combat aircraft of all types. and
some say that next year this must
and will be doubled. Already about
$4,000 planes are on order and plans
are understood to call for raising
the total on order to 10000.
Moreover, President Roosevelt has
directed Secretary of War Stimson
to seek an eventual output of 500
long-range bombers a month.

Close Vote Predicted

For Senate Seat
BorkIey Sees Victory
For Nicely Nominee in
West Virginia Fight

With an extremely close vote"
predicted, the Senate is expected to
decide Tuesday on the rival claims
of Joseph Roster and Clarence Mar
tin. West Virginia Democrats, for a
seat in that body.
Predicting the margin Of victory
would be small. Majority Leader
Barkley told newSmen last night
that chances favored Mr.. Roster,
the appointee of Gov. M. M. Neelv.
whose resignation from the Senate
created the vacancy Mr.. Martin,
a former president of the American
Bar Association, was named by the
outgoing West Virginia Governor,
Homer Holt.
No Way to Hold Election.
In the sharp debate over the un-
precedented dispute yesterday, the
suggestion was advanced-and re-
jected-that the Senate send the
whole question back to West Viz
ginia for decision by election.
The Senate can't order an elec-
ton and if we send the whole thing
back the Governor of West Vlr-
ginia would just make a new ap-
pointment. maybe the same man"
objected Senator Chandler. Demo-
crat, of Kentucky. who has led
forces supporting Mr. Martin.
Opposition came. too, from Senator
Hatch, Democrat. of New Mexico.
VINO said he had searched the law
and found that under West Viz
ginia's constitution it would be inn
possible for an election TO be held.
The State laws provide for appoint
ment of Senator if a vacancy is for
less than two and one-half years.
Senator Hatch voted for Mr. Roster
in the Elections Committee, which
favored his seating.
Contest Held Spectacle.
The suggestion that the entire case
be handed back to West Virginia
came from Senator OMahonev,
Democrat. of Wyoming. who de-
scribed the contest as a spectacle "
say the choice is the choice Of the
people and no person will be seated
until an election was held.
There is no way under the Law
to do it." replied Senator Hatch,
Earlier. Senator Barklev had as
serted that voters of West Virginia
had in effect indorSed Mr.. Roster
selection by election of Mr.. Nicely as
Governor.
The issue of whether he (NeelvD
should be allowed to name his sue
cessor was submitted to the people
of West Virginia. Senator Barkley
declared. They decided by ma ior-
ity Of $4,000 that they were willing
he should do that"
His statement came after Repub-
lican Senators had bitterly opposed
what they said was an attempt to
assert Ownership of a Senate seat.
