LONDON. July 9.-Britain's day
light raiders famed out over the
English Channel in three directions
today in another mighty assault
on Northern France after night
bombers had kept up the R. A. F.'s
nonstop air attacks with blows on
the industrial Rhineland.
Cliff watchers on the Kent coast
heard big formation, too high to
be seen in the heat haze overhead,
roar toward France.
One observer said the planes
seemed to scatter in three directions,
pounding not only coastal batteries
on the Nazi-held side of the Chan
mel, but also targets deeper inland.
Night Bombardments Traded.
In a trading of night air bonn
bardments, the Air Ministry said
British flyers struck the German
cities of Hamm Muenster and Biele-
field, while the Germans concen-
trated on England's Midlands.
One force of British planes flew
deeper into Germany to bomb syn
thetic oil plants near Leipzig and
others attacked shipping off the
north and west coasts of France and
the harbor at Haugesund, Norway,
the ministry said.
A flight of American built bomb
ers and fighters attacked a Luft-
waite base in Northern France.

rate of one a minute, the ministry
said.
From these operations, the Brit
ish said, seven bombers were miss
ing. Five German raiders were re-
ported shot down.
Pamphlets Dropped With Bombs.
The Germans, flying in larger
numbers than in recent forays, in
terspersed their incendiary and ex-
plosive bombing with a barrage of
leaflets proclaiming:
The battle of the Atlantic is be-
ing lost"
Some casualties were reported in
the Midlands, East Anglia, South
west England and Northeast Scot
land, but the British said damage
was not extensive. Five Nazi raid
ers were reported shot down.

Festival of Choirs
Proves Impressive
BY ELENA DE SAYN,

An impressive musical evening
service was held last night at the
Washington Cathedral in the form
of a choir festival in which four
church choirs of this city partici-
pated, directed by DR.. Leo SoWerby.
Contributors ito the rich and beauti-
full experience through the ministry
of music" to quote Bishop James
E. Freeman, were the singers of St.
Margaret's Church, Covenant-First
Presbyterian Church, Epiphany
Church and those of the Washington
Cathedral.
In addition to hymns and psalms
in the order of the service, there
were two longer compositions, GLORY
and Honor and Laud," by Charles
Wood, and "In the Year that King
Uzziah Died" by David NICK. Will
liamS, sung in part cappella and
in part with organ accompaniment.
But it was in the singing of two
difficult numbers by DR.. Sowerby
that showed the mettle of the per-
formers, the purity of their intona-
tion and their general musicianship.
Nov There Lightens Upon Us" and
''Te Deum in D Minor" were quite
distinct by their harmonization, but
in spite of a modern idiom pointed
to master thoroughly versed in the
field of religious expression
DR.. Sowerby, who is a composer of
note, has also many important works
for orchestra, voice and chamber
music, became an organist because
of his avocation for that instrument.
He proved himself an experienced
leader of massed singing, one who
knows how to draw sonorous effects
without sacrificing the quality of
tone. In the ensemble, he assigned
place of Importance to the organ,
adding free organ accompaniment
to Tails Canon, Offertory Hymn
25," performed by the choir.
During the service Bishop Free
man spoke briefly on the importance
of the music in general and on con-
certs of that nature in particular,
considering them a distinct con-
tribution to the cause of music.
