LONDON, Feb. S.-The skies
over London and the rest of the
British Isles were clear of enemy
raiders tonight while the air min
istry announced shattering new
blows against Nazi bases on the
French coast.
Boulogne, Dunkerque, Calais
and Ostend were battered heavily
Friday night and this morning in
a new series of attacks which fol-
lowed previous aerial blasting of
these ports from which a Nazi
invasion attempt might be ex-
pected, the ministry stated.
Bad weather apparently pinned
the Nazi luftwaffe to its bases in
occupied territory tonight. No
activity whatsoever was reported
after dark. while daylight raids
were said to have been on a small
scale.
Three Nazi planes were shot
down during the day when British
| fighter squadrons and anti-aircraft
batteries turned back sporadic
German attempts to penetrate the
coastal defense areas.

Only for SeiUes

Each of her neighbors said We
will fight for ourselves but for no
one else. They refused to combine
for mutual and collective defense.
The Scandinavian states would
not combine, so that a Finland had

Germany, by itself "a complete

our own. We will fight only for

So France - like similar isola-
tionists in Britain-refused to re-
sist the aggreSSor when some other
nation was the victim; refused to
aid China, or stand up for Abys-
sinia. or Spain, or Czecho-Slovakia.
That is to say Germany's neigh

blanket deferments but insists
that each individual case must be

One LeUeling Factor

The Detroit Times has made a
survey of the local draft situation,
interviewing administrative Off
Gals, local boards and boards OF
appeal. These facts were deter
mined:
The draft act itself gives a local
board full power in determining
classification of all men within its
Jurisdiction. This means that
Wayne County's 60 local boards,
with few ironclad rules to guide
them, have been functioning in 63
different fashions.
The only leveling factor serving
as a common denomination are the
county's four boards of appeal,
who act. of course. only on those
cases appealed to tn e m by
draftees, and then often arriving
at four different opinions on
similar cases

65 Boards Set Up
63 Systems for
InductionS

With the selective service and
training in force four months old,
many prospective Detroit draftees
and their families today remain
confused over operation of this
nations first peacetime draft.
Many men have been indicted
into the army while friends living
under similar circumstances and
with similar backgrounds have
been given deferment.
Some of Wayne County's 90
local boards have been deferrlng
all married men. Others have
been Inducing all married men

shown.

SIGNAL BUTTE
SHOWING OIL IN
The ELLIS Lime

A rotary core revealed oil in
at least two horizons in the sandy
lines of what is believed to be
the Ellis formation at Signal Butte
structure in northern Hill county
during the past week.
A drill stem test was made at
three depths but none of them
indicated either oil or gas in COM
mercial quantities. The greatest
saturation was revealed from 4O92
TO 41O5 but the drill stem test
showed 500 feet of water. The
owners of the well were aston
ished to find the water fresh, soft
and palatable.
No production was expected
above the Madison lime and the
most likely horizon is the second
1ebreak', in the hme-the steve
vile horizon. The Steveville wells
do not show oil in the Ellis, 1t IS
understood.
Either the Cobb Yale-Government
NO. l well on Signal Butte Is
checking lower than the geolo-
gists estimated else the formations
are thickening up. The ELLIS IS
apparently much thicker than ex-
pected, with 800 feet of this for
nation at 4O92 and still continu-
It is believed that the next SO
feet will reach the Madison lime
contact, provided the formations
are in place and not faulted. Drill
ers say they have had no indi-
cation of faulting in the log OF
the well.
The town of Havre was greatly
thrilled by the reported showings
of oil. Rumors reached Great
Falls from excited Havre citizens
that the Signal Butte well was in
production. A. B. Cobb stated
Thursday night that the showings
were not commercial.

Shock Survey
Made by Device

Stroboscopes 100 times more
powerful than previous similar
devices have been put-tn work
in the Cadillac research labora-
tory, it was announced Saturday.
The new types permit the ex-
animation of wider areas of
moving parts and have been
used in a survey of shock influ-
ences over the complete chassis
and body. In This setup, the
entire front end of the car has
been frozen for inspection as
the wheels bounced over plated
rollers in a darkened dynamo

As in earlier stroboscopes.
efficiency is based on the fact
that the eye retains a brightly
lighted image for sometime after
it has disappeared. Flashes of
the stroboscope light are syn
chronized with the movement Of
a part under examination, so
that the observer registers vision
at only one point in the cycle.
This causes the part to appear
