The report Of the House Foreign

spike in advance many of the minor

The majority asserted, for ex-
ample, that hearings and public dis

that the two-fold policy of the

keep out of war; and Ito aid Britain
and those other nations whose de-

Three Claims Made for Bill.
The majority set forth its views

last night after the committee ap-
proved the bill by 17-to-8 vote.
The report made these three
claims for the bill:

1t provided the best method of
giving aid to nations resisting ag-
gression. and
1t accomplished that purpose in
the manner best suited for national

Three Killed, Four Hurt
In Air Raid on London

LONDON, Jan. 81 [P.-Three per-
sons were known to have been killed
and at least four injured today ir
an afternoon air raid on London
which followed two earlier bombless
alarms.
The attack repeated the pattern Of
those yesterday and the day before
the attackers slipping through 8
cover of clouds to drop explosive anc
fire bombs, apparently without aim

been no alertS overnight.
Two hospitals were hit and 9
number of houses were damaged.
The raiders, bolder and more
numerous than on the previous days
seemed, however, still to be operat.
ing singly.
Machine Gun Fire Heard.
Two explosives and several in.
cendlaries fell in one London street
In another area, several bursts o.
machine-gun fire from low-hyine
planes were heard. The raiders
were believed to be trying to shoot
down barrage balloons.
Bombs which fell on a London
SQuare-further identification was
forbidden-and in surroundine
streets wrecked two shops and Sc
verely damaged others. One
plunged with violent splash into
water tank
The supposed machine-gun at
tack above the clouds on the barrage
balloons-London's aerial Stockade
against hostile bombers-indicated a
repetition of yesterdays assaults on
the cable-moored bags here and at
Dover. CThe German high COM
mand said today u had been shot
down yesterday in the two areas.)
Britain's rate of warplane destruc-
ton was more than II times that OF
the axis powers during January, &C
cording to figures published today
and the ratio from the start of the
war was said to be almost four tc
one in Britain's favor.
Plane Loss Figures.
These were the figures on losses:
For January-Britain, 80; the
axis powers, 371.
Since the start of the war-Brit-
ain, 840. of which 427 pilots were
saved; the axis powers, 3.O68. moi
including losses caused by coasta
command planes.
Although half the January nights
have been raidless, 13 German raid
ers were said to have been shot down
over Britain in darkness and only
II were claimed during daylight.
British losses included l8 bombers
on night raids in Western Europe
one reconnaissance plane and one
fighter off the south coast.
The score in the Western desert
during January is not fully tailed
but according to available figures A.
italian planes were downed in battle
two were damaged and 209 were de.
Stroyed on the ground. British losse,
were listed as seven.
Elsewhere, A axis planes were sale
to have been destroyed in the Malta
region, compared with a British los:
of three, and between 80 and 40 al
the German-uSed base at Catania
Sicily, compared with a loss of two
British raiders.
A London source expressed belle
that the Germans were using tn,
day raids to learn weather condi'
tions for more numerous nigh
raiders and also to determine
whether the British we're using
murky weather to shield changes il
the positions of military forces.

nine rounds To almost pull up

Cardinals. The playoff victory
put them within .OO2 of the Red

As though just fully realizing
their precarious position in the

jumped all over Boston pitching

runs across the pan in the open

with a four-run assault in the

had little to worry about-with
their ace, KIRBY Higbe, on the
mound Sporting a two-day
growth of beard, Higbe, who re-
corded his 10Th triumph. tossed
no-hit ball the first five stanzas

Cincinnati Reds young, depend

Thompson twirled a four7hitter
against the Bruins but met his
match in the veteran Charley
Root. Root allowed one more

under control.
The victory was the 2O1st of
Roots long career in the big
leagues.

clear, bell-like ring. Counterfeit
coins have a dull sound. Also, most

Compare the reeding (the CORFU
