the Count knocked Glenn Miller
off his throne as the theater's full
week record holder, Miller's mark
of $4,000 being erased from the
books when the theater totalled its
gross to $4,000 for Basie's week!
In recent months Basic has con-

In consideration of the question
OF union security which every union

tract Is ever negotiated with any
company, the WLB has arrived at
a maintenance Of membership for

to note that almost every union

LONDON, Aug. 26.-Single

Following up the daylight at

sought out enemy shipping and hit
two ships in German convoy of
| the Frisian Islands with bombs last
night, the Air Ministry said. Docks
! and shipping at La Pallice. port
on the Bay of Biscay, were also
bombed.
One bomber failed to return from
these operations.
The British Air Ministry news
service reported that a Hurricane
bomber attacked seven German
boats miles off the French coast
during the night. the pilot descend
ing to mast height and later seeing
one boat afire.
In East Anglia IL persons were
killed when a German bomb struck
shelter. The dead included a
woman and her eight children.
German airmen caused some prop
erty damage and number of cas-
ualtles at south coast town today
in raid that cost them two Focke-
Wulf 1905, while considerable
force of RAF fighters made another
cross-channel foray.
Two Nazi Planes Felled.
The German radio reported that
Great Yarmouth and Ipswich, both
in Southeast England, had been
bombed last night.
Anti-aircraft gunners shot down
the two German planes, fighters
presumably assigned as bomber es-
corts. One crashed outside of the
town and the other fell into the sea.
The pilots of both were believed
killed.
The British fighters returned from
their actions against Nazi obiec-

No night activity by the RATS
bombers was reported, however,
following Monday nights raid on
Wiesbaden and Frankfurt. Bad
weather over the continent kept the
bonbers grounded.
East Anglia Raided.
A small number of casualties and
a little damage were reported caused
during the night by German bomb
ers which flew over East Anglia and
bombed few places near the coast.
The Nazis pelted the countryside
with incendiaries, but quick action
by rural fire guards saved crops
ripening in the fields. Only a few
small blazes resulted.
Britain's farmers had been warned
only recently that harvest time was
likely to bring renewed German ef-
forts to fire the maturing grain.
Restrictions had been placed on the
