The British Fairey-Fulmar is one

But the Skuas went for it bald
headed. Diving at speed right in
side the range of its heavy machine
guns of half-inch caliber, they
looked as if they meant to perpetu-

by the board.
The Italian did not like that dash.
1t had not the CUTS of the German
Stukas and turned to use its greater
speed to get 1t home to Benito, but
the Skuas pumped lead viciously at
its three big Alfa-Romeo engines.
These were protected by armor
plating and it looked as if the enemy
would escape.
AS the Cant was drawing away
from its tiny opponents, a Skua
elevated its guns so as to get ex-
treme range and fired two long
bursts. The Cant was hit and
forced to slow down. Then the
Skuas dashed to close quarters once
again. But the Italians had had
enough of that. The great war;

the water. Mercilessly the Skuas
circled above it until an italian

Thus Britain captured one of

Keech Making Study
OF Complete Report
On Buckley Case
Corporation Counsel
And Kormun Confer
In NolIe Prose- Dispute

The complete report Of the Police
Court case in which an original
charge of driving while drunk,
placed against M. Edward Buckley,
jr., a Washington attorney, was
modified to a less serious charge,
was being studied today by Corpora
ton Counsel Richmond B. Keech.
Mr.. Keech yesterday conferred
with Milton D. Norman, his senior
assistant at Police Court, after Mr..
Norman compiled the report from
court records. The drunk driving
charge was nolle pressed last Octo-
ber, the records show, by Assistant
Corporation Counsel Ralph Quinter,
jr., after, he has explained, repre-
sentations were made" to him that
all damages were paid and COM
plainants did not wish to prosecute
the defendant"
Asked yesterday by a reporter
about who had made the repre-
sentations. Mr.. Quinter replied:
THE defendant and his attorney"
Asked further whether he had
heard the testimony of complaining
witnesses before taking the nolle
PROSE- action-which Mr.. Keech said
yesterday was the proper procedure
under ordinary circumstances-Mr.
Quinter said he had not.
The police, who arrested the de-
fendant on the drunk driving charge
last July, and the owners of the
two automobiles with which the car
of the defendant collided on Thir-
teenth street NV, have said they
knew nothing of the disposition Of
the case until last Wednesday; that
they expected to testify and that
they had not said they did not
wish to prosecute.
Mr.. Keech said yesterday he pre-
ferred not to discuss the charges
until he had had an opportunity
to study the record Of the case.
