Reconnaissance planes had deter
mined that German naval units
were active in the Kiel area.
The Air Ministry communique re-
vealed that army cooperation planes
had attacked a freight train and
other targets in occupied France
yesterday.
1t was announced also that Beau
fort fighters of the coastal COM
mand, on patrol over the Bay of
Biscay, had shot down two Junk
ers-88 dive bOmbers and a flying
boat
A possible change in Britain's
bombing strategy was indicated to-
day when Harold Balfour, parlia-
mentary undersecretary for air,
promised Oliver Simmonds. Con-
servative, in the House of Com
mons that Air Marshal Sir A. T..
Harris. commanding the bomber
command. would consider a propoS-
al to concentrate large numbers Of
bombers against specific areas in
Germany instead Of sending small
er forces more frequently.

Simmons said bombers were the
only weapons with which Germany
could be struck now and he urged
that all forces be employed to at
tain maximum effect.

Better Sub Base

Last nights raid was the nth

Germany admitted in radio
broadcasts that explosive and in
cendiary bombs had been dropped,
but asserted as usual that damage
was done only to residential quar-
ters and that the casualties were
among civilians.
1t said that war prisoners camp
had been burned.
BATTLESHIP AT BASE
After the last raid ON Kiel, April
%, reconnaissance photographs
showed that heavy damage had
been done to the big Krupp-Ger-

ter ship to the Gneisenau, and the
10,000-ton cruiser Prinz Eugen were

that no one can carry too many
of us at once.
1 never had any idea I was
going out of the Last Chance at
all because he carried me over to
the counter all right.
But l was the single odd dollar
that couldn't be changed into
paper
So he kept me and carried me
out of here. Then, really started
on a whirl.
Let's see what happened next.
Well, the next morning. he gave
me, a nickel and dime to the
keeper of a tobacco store for a
carton of cigarets.
/ stayed in the dark little cash
register about an hour and then
his wife took me out, put me in
her purse and carried me over to
Sierra street where she passed me
with some change to a sales girl
for a pair of stockings.
l met a lot of girls from the
Last Chance there and we all
talked about getting back here.
You know the routine.
We go to the bank and the bank
sends us back when the owners of
the Last Chance or the bank or
the Palace gambling clubs demand
more silver dollars.
However. it was going to be a
long time before / got home again.
/ was passed in change to a
man who bought some necktieS
and he carried me and the neck
ties down TO Center street. where
we went into The Silver Dollar
Bar and Grill and handed me in
payment for a drink of whisky.
/ lay there in the cash register
long time and listened to the
music and men and women with
thickened voices talking of the
war and love and fights and bust
ness and death.
They left me in there when
they closed the place and l had

COWBOY CAME IN

The next morning, bright and
early. a cowboy came in for a
drink and planked down $40 bill.
l went TO him as part of his
change and he left the Silver Dol
lar Bar and Grill, rafting me in
his pocket and singing the jingle,
jangle song.
He and l climbed into a station
wagon and rode south for quite
a long while
We finally turned in and finally
got out in the dooryard of a
dude ranch.
A number Of Divorces gathered
around the station wagon because
the cowboy was tall and sun
burned and good looking and they
began chatting him about his
spending the last evening with
his girl.
He took IL quietly but I could
feel that he was angry.
He got into the station wagon
again and put it away in the
garage.
Later in the morning, he
saddled four horses and got on
one and led the others back to
the ranch house.
Three Divorces were waiting
and we rode out southwest toward
the SierraS.
During the ride. they all clus.
tered about him. each one trying
