LONDON. July 3.-Masses of
British planes, keeping up the R.
A. F.'s day and night assaults on
Germany and Nazi-occupied terri
tory. launched what appeared to be
another major daylight attack
across the Channel today.
While fighter planes secured the
air and water to clear the way. Brit
ish bombers sped over Northern
France following up overnight at
tacks which the Air Ministry said
were concentrated on the German
cities of Cologne, Duisberg and
Bremen.
Plane Procession Endless.
Coast watchers said the raids were
continuing throughout the afternoon
in an almost endless procession" Of
planes roaring across the occupied
French and Belgian coasts in a
cloudless sky ideally suited for fly
ing.
Since only few explosions were
heard on the English SIDE. it was
presumed the r. A. F. was bombing
objectives inland.
Five German fighters were re-
ported authoritatively to have been
bagged at a cost of three British
planes in the sweep over Northern
France before noon.
r. A. F. fighters SKINNED over the
Channel at terrific speed evidently
on the lookout for Nazi surface yes
sells as they returned from a foray
over France just before large for
nations of bombers and guardian
fighters headed out from the English
South Coast. D.,
Heavy Attack on Bremen.
The night attack on Bremen,
often-bombed German port and
shipbuilding center, was called par
ticularly heavy.
Impressive fires" on both sides of
the Rhine River at Cologne were re-
ported by the Air Ministry news
service, which said one section of a
powerful force" concentrated on a
long industrial building. setting it
afire and then blasting it with high
explosive bombs.
At Bremen, both industrial dis
tricts and the shipyards suffered
heavy destruction, the service said,
adding that after one "huge bomb"
exploded, searchlights went out and
anti-aircraft guns were stilled for
several minutes.
-Four British bombers were re-
ported missing.

British Invasion
IOf French Coast
By Aug. ] Hinted
BY the Associated Press.

-
LONDON, July 3.-The magazine
Aeroplane limited today that the
r. A. F.'s daylight sweeps and nightly
poundings of the French coast may
be prelude to an invasion OF the
continent before August /.
The magazine said the Germans
have been persuaded that mo COM
bined offensive by British arms can
be undertaken for several months. "
1.-The r. A. F." it added. has been
busy for nearly three weeks casting
doubts on that assumption.
Before this month is out, there
may be developments which would
cause more doubts and hearten all
the people over whose lands the
struggle must be renewed.
British strategy is still that OF
renewing the .sinews of war and
some of them are now to be found
in France. But another form OF
strategical help to Russia is also In
the making and France is probably
concerned in that, too"
Meanwhile, Aeroplane asserted
Germans must guess "as to wflere
and when and how the next piece.
Of British Intervention will TAXI

Today story of heroism and des-
peration was told by waterfront
circles, who said the Ensis crew re-
turned to their ship after sending
volunteers aboard to close tanks and
watertight bulkheads. The crew
then sailed her more than 1000 miles
across the Atlantic into Halifax.
This is often possible with tanker

tanks and fill others to balance the
vessel when torpedoes rip holes in
a ship, seamen saids

NEW YORK, July 3.-For three
DAYS and nights the hardy crew Of
the torpedoed British tanker Ensis
bobbed in a lifeboat in the North
Atlantic, radioing frantic messages
for help with portable radio they

message hummed.
Radio operators at sea heard 1t
and sympathized. Knowing that
British Admiralty orders required
ships in a convoy to flee in all direc-
tions when submarine attacked, they
assumed that other ships in the area
were afraid to make the rescue for
fear of running into the submarine
that hit the Ensis.

Listeners in London reported
that Stain spoke nervously and
somewhat haltingly and that
several times they could hear
water being poured into glass;
His main theme, however. he ex-
pressed at the very beginning of his
long speech:
"A grave danger overhangs oul
country"
And later:
What is required to put an enc
to the danger lowering over oul
country, and what measures must
be taken to smash the enemy?

understand the full immensity ol

The issue is one of life or death
for the Soviet state, for the peoples
of the U. S. S. r.; the issue is
whether peoples of the Soviet Union

this and abandon all heedlessness
