LONDON, May british bomb
ers crippled swift Nazi destroyer
of the Norwegian coast and chopped
away at enemy airdromes in North
ern France overnight. but the
weather intervened again to keep
the great swarms of r. A. F. and
German planes tied to the ground.
The pilot of an American-made
Hudson bomber glided silently down
on the fast-moving German war
ship, loosed two bombs which hit
the deck squarely, and few away
before the astonished enemy sea-
men could fire shot. Another
destroyer hurried to the aid Of the
stricken ship.
Heavy channel mists held sky

the day as the great British bomb

of explosives, staying in their hang

tiently for clearing weather to allow
further raids on the tortured Ger
man industrial targets.
1t was the second night of COM
parative inactivity after eight fruit
full nights in which the R. A. F.
spread vast destruction over three
quarters of Hitler's Reich.
Photographic evidence released
tonight disclosed that the chimney

It is, of course, obvious that the

(The first definite disclosure
of the presence of United States

basin was made by President
Roosevelt in his worldwide fire

American warships were in the
Mediterranean and United States
troops were in the Near East,

were destroying bridges and
