What seems more likely is that
the Nazi leader will stage a huge
air offensive in the Mediterranean
theater in conjunction with his ef-
fort to smash the Russian line and
break into the Caucasus. If he
can't drive through the Reds he
may try to reach the Near East
in combined air and sea opera
ton, y-passing Turkey and strik-
ing through Syria.
Whatever form Hitler's strategy
may take, it will involve a strug-
gle for supremacy of the Mediter-
ranean, on which much of Britain s
might now depends That will mean
an effort on his part to knock out
British naval strength from the
air.
When Hitler's warplanes as a
whole finally take to the skies we
shall see some mighty and far

Air Force and the growing Ameri-
can air feet in Europe and the

Both Col. Bolles and Commits
sioner Guy Mason, who also made
a tour of inspection, commented on
the promptness with which the
city-wide and nearby county black

that the wardens were not at their
posts ahead of time.
One warden with whom Col. Bolles

nese Embassy said by the time he
had put on his armband and stepped
to the street all the lights were OBJ
scured.
In that section of the city. along

BILE lights were those of the Naval

effort had been made even to lower

Immediately after the all clear

though the streets were again

AS Axis submarines stalked their

Congress was drawn today to the
possibility of building huge plane
carrying dirigibles that could seek
them out and destroy them.
A first step toward authorizing
the construction of such aerial bat

the Inflated German airship Hin
denburg was taken by the House
Naval Affairs Committee yesterday
when it struck 'non-rigid'' limita-

In keeping with this plan, it was
stated the Federal Public Housing
Authority had authorized the Dis
trict Alley Dwelling Authority to
select site for housing dispossessed
families, and the Farm Security
Administration to provide up to 15C
trailers for the purpose.
It is specified that the temporary
trailer housing should be on Gov

ers are regarded as a stop gap
arrangement, to last perhaps six
months or more, until more per.
manent housing can be found OF
provided.
Trailer houses already are in use
in nearby Arlington County and ir
other areas where the defense
workers have overwhelmed normal
housing accommodations.
