Attack on Berlin
With Factory Raid

LONDON, Sept. 8. (UP)-
British long range bombing
planes spread destruction
and death through western
Germany during the night
after their great Sunday night raid
on Berlin.
Nearly 100 planes bombed Cassel,
in west central Germany, alone,
it was said authoritatively. 1t was
added that the great majority OF
planes reached their objectives and
that not a single plane was lost.
At Cassel, the British planes GEN.
tered on the great Henschel loco
motive workshops which, an infor-
mant said, "are of particular i'm
portance now in view of the Rus
sian campaign" and the necessity
for long-haul supply routes.
Britons, to whom news of the
Berlin raid had been one of the big
events of the war, awaited eagerly
details of the newest raid, second
in what it was indicated would be
a winter-long campaign of taking
the air war to Germany with in
creasing force.
British bombing operations with
in the last "a hours, in addition to
the Berlin raid and last nights raid
on western industrial Germany, had
extended from Norway to Sicily, and
Russian planes had made a heavy
raid on Bucharest, capital of Ru-
mania.
The scale of the British raids was
indicated by the admission that 20
bombing planes had been lost in the
great Sunday night raids, that two
Americana built flying fortresseS had
been lost in raids on Norway and
that three planes of the American
Eagle squadron were missing after
a sweep over northern France Sun
day.
Authoritative quarters said that
the missing American pilots were
F:lot Officer w. H. Nichols, San
Carlos, Calf; Pilot Officer H. S.
Fenlaw, Lewisville, Tex, and Pilot
officer Eugene Quimby Tobin, Los
Angeles.
1t was believed that Nichols plane
exploded in the sky but it was hop
ed that at least one of the others
and possibly both might have
reached the ground safely on the
French coast.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8. (UP)
"A clandestine short-wave

Gestapo false, messages about the
United States defense program was
described today at trial of 16 per-
sons accused of being NaZi spies.
Existence of the station was dis
closed by William G. Sebold,
nautralized American citizen who,
in the face of threats from the Ges-
tapo in Germany, was credited by
the government with exposing the
spy ring to which the 16 defendants
belonged.
Sebold related he had returned
to Germany in 1889 and there was
threatened with death by the Ges-
tapo unless he agreed to engage in
espionage in the United States. He
said he agreed to do SO and was
given money for expenses.

The Sessa was torpedoed Aug. II
with a loss of "a persons, including
one American, of her complement
of 27. The three survivors were
picked up Sept by an American
naval vessel.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
said the Sessa, while flying the flag
of Panama, was owned and operat-
ed by American interests.
He said he thought there was no
question about the author of the
attack on the Sessa, but he pre-
ferred not to discuss that phase of
the situation until more complete
facts were available.

by about II hours announcement

in ice, carried to El Centro, ant
placed in cold storage.
She invited guests to her home to
a fish dinner. wanS you to help
me enjoy all those fish we caught, "
she said.
Late in the afternoon OF the party
she went to the cold storage plant
to get the fish. Horrors! there we're
only nine of the 70 fish placed
there to await the guests. Someone
stole them!
1t is impossible to describe the
situation. There aren't words
enough.
The guests arrived, their appe-
tites primed for a fish dinner. The
dinner was served. And would you
believe it, those fish had sprouted

just like duck.
