very bad name and cannot live it

numerous in the South, they are
known also in Ohio, Indiana, Penn

Mrs. Sara Delano Roosevelt who

today as her son began his third
term as President.

slowly than she did in 1888, when
Franklin D. Roosevelt first took the
presidential oath. Perhaps she re-

 London dispatches compare the Nazi hit-and-run forays as furious as the daylight activity of last fall.
 It is estimated by he British Air Ministry that 300 German bombers flew over Britain last night.
 Berlin authorities announced to- day that heavier blows are being made ready to strike against Britain.
 Taken all together, it was bad night for British cities.
 Liverpool suffered the seventh straight assault which started shortly after darkness.
 Casualties are believed to have been heavy This is admitted by the British authorities after getting meagre reports of the night Nazi raids.
 Besides the Merse side dock area of Liverpool the Nazis scattered bombs on Hull, Hratlepool and Bris- tol in the channel sector.

Washington Is Going 10
 Be vatation|ess City on Account of Defense Work

WASHINGTON, May 8-Wash- ington looks like it is going to be about the most vacationless city in the country this summer
 There's nothing official about it, but there are enough straws in the spring winds to make it appear almost definite that thousands of government workers are not going to get their 26-day leaves. It's na- tional defense of course and the terrific pressure of business that it has caused.
 There's hardly a Government de- partment or agency that hasn't been affected by the national de- fense speed-up and that means that nearly all of the 16O to ITO thousand Federal employees will catch it in the neck if there is any curtailment of vacations.
 No government official has been willing to come forward yet with the declaration that there will be no vacations in his department or agency, but I have talked with a half-dozen workers in agricul- ture, commerce and the treasury who have asked for extended leaves and been put off. These were stenographers and clerks. Heads of offices and bureaus al- ready have told me that they can't possibly get away for more than few days at time.
 If that condition exists in these departments, think what it is in the War and Navy Departments, the Office of production Manage ment, the Maritime Commission, and others which are carrying the brunt of the defense load. Al ready, the Navy has staggered it's civilian personnel into three eight hour shifts. It is the only one that has done that, but there isn't any agency in Washington with any, thing to do with national defense that isn't burning midnight oil to try to keep up with the job.

SUPER BOMBS ARE
 NOW CAUSING WORRY
Royal Air Force Makes Niqht Attacks on Many
 German Sections
tBy ASSOCIATED PRESS,

The British counter plitzkrieg is causing alarm among the Berlin authorities, it is officially stated.
 Nazi officials started today on making a canvass of all homes in Berlin to find shelter for bombed out residents.
 The Jewish families have been or dered to live in more restricted quarters so all or part of their apartments may be turned over to the Ayrans. Jewish families are re- ported to have already been evicted from the desirable Charlottesburg area.
 It is explained that while com- paratively few houses in Berlin have been wrecked so far in the British Air Force raids, the new British super bombs and incendiaries indi- cate what might be expected during the summer. It is admitted the new bombs are terrific in intensity"
 Last night strong Royal Air Force attacks were made on Brest, Nazl U-boat base: St. Nazare docks, Bremen oil refineries and several German occupied French ports.
 Explosions followed the raids and numerous fires are reported to have been started.
 RAF bombrs also made several successful attacks on the coast of Norway where German concentra- tions are reported.

WASHINGTON = Heavy confer ences among Army and Defense chiefs on plans for another vast ex- pansion of plane producing facilities are in progress behind the scenes.
 If this seems surprisig, since hun- dreds of millions already have been allocated for this purpose, the req son is clear when you examine the gigantic size of the industrial sys- tenn required to build the 50,O0O planes called for by President Roosevelt after the fall of France.
 Between July 1, 1940 and March 1, 1941, just the floor space of the aviation industry expanded from 17.216.41O square feet to 31 1883 ,967 In a few months four huge new bomber assembly plants, at Kansas City, Fort Worth, Tulsa and Omaha, fed with parts by scores of other factories, will add millions of addi- tional square feet.
 But even with all these assembly and parts plants Tn Iull operdIioii' the total output of combat planes by the end of 1942 will still be far short of 50,000.
 On order are 44,835 planes divided as follows: For Canada and the R.A.F.-16,000, plus $500 bombers under the so-called Knudsen plan; for the U. s. Army-16,575, of which only half will be combat planes; for the Navy-6,660, of which about one fourth will be trainer planes.
 Thus it will be seen that of the 23,235 planes the Army and Navy are scheduled to receive in the next IS months, only around 14,0O0 will be actual fighting ships. The rest will be trainers.
 That is why Defense authorities are preparing to erect two, possibly four. more bomber assembly plants,
