the clock Allied air offensive that
has rocked Bremen, Vienna, koe-
and Breslau. Germany:
Budapest, Hungary. and Rouen
and lie Havre, France.
It was the ninth mission that
the United States bombers had
|carried out from their British
isles bases and for the ninth time
every bomber got back to its home
grounds.
Target Of the Flying Fortresses
was Rouen, the second time that
this important French commune
cations center has felt the weight
of American precision bombing.
Three Squads Attack
Three squadrons of Fortresses
made the assault in centering on
the big railroad yards and scoring
direct hits on the target area.
Just before the attack on
Rouen, a squadron OF American
AIR force Bostons bombed lie
Havre, the French channel port
which has been reported hall In
! ruins from persistent Royal Air
Force bombing.
The Flying Fortresses and Bos-
tons were protected by clouds or
American. British and Canadian
Fighter squadrons.
None Of the American fighters
and none Of the Bostons was lost
In the operation.
However, six Allied fighters
presumably British and Canadian
were reported missing and two
Nazi fighters were shot down.
Todays raid followed a night OF
Allied aerial activity which spread
damage and terror on an unprece-
dented scale across central Eu-
rope. The Raj concentrated an
estimated 200 to 300 bombers on
] Bremen, while Russian craft were
blasting Budapest. Koenigsberg.
Vienna and Breslau.

The War
Il Today
German Request
to Base Planes at
Dakar Significant
Nv MAI. PAUL C. RABORG

service ana Detrsh Times
TWO RECENT news re-
ports are Of great interest and
greater significance.
First, from London we learn
that American troops have ar
rived in the Belgian Congo,
and secondly, advices from un-
occupied France state that
Hitler Is seeking permission
to base Maxi dive-bomber
squadrons at the seaport Of
Dakar in Senegal and French
West Africa.
This calls to mind our very
fascinating and capable air
plane ferry command service.
about which not a great deal
Is known nor may a great deal
be said, except that. at this
moment Of greatest stress In
overseas shipping problems
our ferry command Is per-
forming work which is vital
to the prosecution of the war.
IN FACT, when the history
Of this conflict is written 1t
may be recorded that without
the airplane ferry command
in the year 1912, the de-
mocracies might have lost the
war.
The Belgian Congo is in the
very heart Of Equatorial
Africa, and is of greatest
value to the airways In that
planes from there may travel
directly north to Egypt, or
slightly east Of north to Rus
sia and India, as well as flying
due east TO Madagascar and
Australia.
In other words, the air force
may b reinforced and air
freight may be shipped to al-
most any fighting front via
this most important central
African location.
n Is most interesting TO
note that on May 10, 1910
the day the Nazis invaded, the
European Low Countries--the
Belgian Congo declared war
on the Axis, and In spite of
the capitulation Of European
Belgium the declaration Of
war Of its African colony still
stands effective.
Furthermore, the Belgian
Congo has taken q direct part
in war activity AZ II was In
strumental in taking and max
ing prisoners Of war $1,000
Italians, including nine gen.
erals. during the Ethiopian
campaign.
The governor general Of
the Belgian Congo in April
or May ordered that produc-
ton Of Congo raw materials
Be stepped up to the MAXI
mum. Most of these raw ma
terials are shipped to Amer
lean war factories.
The chief of the colony was
fully aware that the produce
Of the Congo could, in q large
measure, replace the Allied
losses of raw materials in the
South Pacific.
AT THIS time, when the
Axis submarines are taking
tar too great q toll Of our
merchant shipping, our air
routes have become more and
more important, not only for
delivery of bombers under
their own power to any fight
ing front. but the matter of
air freight Ia of greater and
greater need.
Therefore, it il also ex-
trcmely logical that Herr
Hitler should request Vichy
France, through Laval. that
he be allowed to base squad
rons Of Axis dive-bombers at
Dakar, for there they can
serve q double purpose.
First, attacks on shipping
In con junction with sub
marines. and secondly, at
tempted attacks on our vital
air lines

He said:
Early August 81. we were
sitting behind q hill, turret down,
when the enemy closed in. Al
though we were hit there was
no penetration and nobody was
hurt. Our tank set afire two
enemy tanks while the crew Of
another enemy tank baled out.
AT daybreak, September I, we
pulled out e do battle and moved
several miles hut the German
armored forces laid back. The
preceding night we had been
bombed and strafed but came
through okay."
Major Broer commanded one Of
four American tank crews in &C
ton in their sector All four Amer
i, an tanks emerged intact.
Rim was quoted from Cairo
Egypt, as saying:
81 didn't see much-I was so
busy loading the IS. Early In the
battle our aerial was shot of,
while another hit was scored on
our turret, but with surprisingly
little effect"

British Guns Halt
RoI1lmeI Drive TO
Relieve Pressure

CAIRO, June 8. CUP)-BritiSh ar
tillery has hurled back a strong
counterattack by Col. Gen. Erwin
Rommers armored forces in the
Knightbridge area of the Libyan
battle front 90 miles southwest of
Tobruk, a Middle East headquarters
communique revealed today.
At the southern terminus of the
45-mile main Imperial line, Free
I French forces under Gen. Pierre
Koenig are holding their positions
after repulsing another attack by
enemy infantry and tank units, the
communique said.
The Axis counterattack at Knights
bridge was stopped yesterday, frus-
trating Rommels efforts to offset
mounting British pressure against
his position in the British mine
fields between coastal Ell GaZala and
Bir Hacheim.
The communique gave no de-
tails, but front dispatches said Rom
mel's armored columns had been
forced to fall back slowly in the
greatest tank battle of the Libyan
war.
Observers here interpreted the
Axis move on Knightbridge as fur
ther indication that the Germans
and Italians were in danger of be-
ing dislodged from the 12-mile gap
in the British mine fields.
Our columns are actively har-
assing the enemys supply lines, and
our air force is carrying out most
successful attacks against enemy
concentrations and supply COL
umns," the communique said.
