 Der of married men, unknown to their wives, have applied for enlist. ment at the Waterbury office. Most of them conveniently forget to mention their marital ties, and only by careful checking of character references arc corps attaches able to learn that these men support dc. pendents, Needless to say, they are promptly denied admittanee.
 On the brighter side, however, is the story of i4-year-old Bridge- port grade school boy, who wrote repeated letters to Sergt. Dickerson inquiring about tho marines, and finally filled out his questionnaire
 Sherwood L. Roberts of i0b Gar field avenue, Q seventh grade pupil ct Shelton Public sehcool, bombard- ed the Waterbury office with de. Inands for particulars. Apparently satisfied ct length that the marines are the branch of the service his talents are best suited for, he wrote for Q questionnaire, filled 1t out and returned 1t.
 Unfortunately, one of the ques. tions on the paper included mention of the age of tho applicant. Sher. wood, born in 1927, was disappoint- cd ct his rejection. He was further saddened by the fact that the con. sent of his parents would avail him nothing. So he now consoles him. self with the thought that when he reaches the senile, doddering age of seventeen they'll take him in.

Anthony Eden Says
JugosIavs MisIed
British Diplomats

LONDON, May 6 GUP) - For
eign Secretary Anthony Eden to-
day opened the house of commons
war debate with a declaration
charging the Jugoslav regime of
Prince Regent Paul was in large
measure to blame for the Balkan
debacle.
Eden asserted Jugoslavia repeat
edly had misled the British as to
the extent of her mobilization.
In fact said Eden, it was not
until the coup d'etat took place
that the new government of Gen.
Dusen T. Simvoitch made a real
and urgent effort to get the arm
les ready.
1T was then too late"
Eden suggested the whole story
OF the allied campaign in Greece
might have been different if the
government which preceded the Ju-
oSlav coup had as clearly under
stood Jugoslavia's true interests
as did the Simovitch government.

SOUTHEAST ENGLAND COAST
Town, May 6 CUP) Fierce air
battles developed over the south
coast and the English Channel to-
day when German planes made
surprise daylight attacks on Dover
and on an inland objective which
may not be identified.
Persons on their way to work saw
two formations of yellow-nosed
Messerschmitt 100 planes swoop
down on the objectives from heavy
clouds that had hidden their ap-
proach.
-Four raiders dove from one cloud
patch toward the Dover balloon
barrage. There was a blast of ma
chine gun and cannon fire and
three balloons fell in flames.
The ground defenses flashed fire
and shells began bursting all
around the raiders, which banked
around and headed back across the
channel.
AT the same time a larger forma-
ton of about Is Messerschmitts
attacked a point little distance
inland, diving low from clouds with
their guns blazing. There. again.
anti-aircraft guns threw up a tre-
mendouS barrage. One raider plain
ly was hit by shell fragments
