ENGLISH RAIDS MIGHT
BOOST GERMAN MORALE

IL the Germans nave the NUS
sian front stabilized sufficiently
| bv dead winter, then they can
| withdraw most of their bomber
formations from the cold and
snow of those areas. Certainly
/, the value Of their large planes
on the Eastern front would be
negligible in deep winter. Snow
land mud and intense cold would
yOog them down. Released for the
iYest. however, they could be of
continued value to the Germans.
From morale standpoint
alone, it would please the people
OF Germany to know that the
ci aics of England were receiving
the punishment the Raj re-
ccrstly meted out to German
towns.
The time it would take to
switch the Floating" percentage
of the Luftwaffe TO the Channel
coast would possibly be about
three weeks. They would then
be res dy to operate 1000 bomb
ers from their great network of
flvinC fields established in
Northern France and the Low
Countries.
Some British say if the Ger
mans old attempt these 1000
bomber raids they would lose
so per cent of their planes. This
| is labeled as Wishful thinking
by air experts here. Ground de-
lenses have improved tremend-
ously in Britain since 1910, as
has radio location also.
But as a matter of cold sta
tistics, airy "A battery COM

knew it would be difficult to
bring down planes at night. But
they had no conception of the

LONDON. Sept. II - Britain
fully expects to see deadly bird
come home to rooSt this winter.
It is the 1000-plane, "saturation-

devised by the Raj and used
with devastating results on
Cologne. Essen, Dusseldorf and
other German cities.
Experts here, certain that
this winter Will see Britain sub
jected to aerial bombing on an
unprccedcnted scale, believe
that the Germans will adopt the
"saturation" attack. In these
bombings, hundreds Of bombers,
sometimes 1000, unload their
explosives in a short period -
an hour or so - over a small
concentrated area.
The Germans have already
had on a small scale, dress re-
hcarsals for such raids. On sew

ers have come over Midland

ment and trial here.
AS Mr.. Vol went before the grand

hands Of the United States mar
shall for immediate service. The
identity OF the witnesses was not
disclosed, but it was learned that
they were ordered TO bring all per-
tinent records with them. Mr.. Vol

ditional subpoenas had been pre-
pared.
The district attorney. who was au-
thorized by Attorney General Fran
els Biddle to conduct the inquiry
