previously blasted Lubbock, Rostock
and Cologne. Prime Minister VIM
ston Churchill said these four at
tacks were merely the start OF an
offensive which-With American aid
would subject the Reich to IAN
ordeal the like of which has never
been experienced"
The second devastation attack in
four days cost the RAF 35 bombers,
but it prompted British officials to
say that there was no reason why
the nightly onslaughts should not
be increased to as many as 1000
planes and it led to frantic German
efforts to improve antiair raid pre-
cautions.
Dispatches to the United Press
said that foreign military experts
in Europe put the maximum num-
ber of dead and wounded at Col
ogne at about 5000 and that the
RAF onslaughts had caused great
depression inside Germany.
RONIMEL STOPPED
The buoyant attitude of the Brit
ish people was increased by reports
of fighting in the Libyan desert,
where the battle south of Tobruk
was still in progress but seemed to
be developing in favor of the Brit
ish.
Military sources were careful not
to overestimate the British success
es in opposing Axis mechanical col
umnS under Col. Gen. Erwin ROM
mel, and Churchill took the same
position in his speech in the House
of Commons. But It seemed defi-
nitely established that Rommel had
failed in the first phase OF his Of
fensive, which was designed to cap
turG the bomb b-battered coastal town
of Tobruk, and that he had suffered
heavy losses.
With his usual daring, the Nazi
general managed to open gaps in
the British front about 80 to 60
miles south of Tobruk, and kept
them open in a partly successful ef-
fort to extricate Axis tanks which
had swept around the British posi-
tions and then were forced to re-
turn westward to the German lines.
In these maneuvers, he was believed
to have lost probably half of the 500
tanks he employed and the Brit
ish still were counterattacking.

operations as successful, saying thai

the Negroes were employed yester-
day in conformance with seniority
lists of the United Automobile
Workers (CIO) and with full en-
dorsement of the international un-
ion.
However, Morris Field, assistant
director of the Chrysler department
of the UAW-CIO, insisted that en-
ployment of the Negroes was not
in accordance with seniority ana

were 20 Negroes in the group that

be won by bombs alone. But the
Germans can not take 1t as the
Britons did.
Massed bombings, night after

Germans have been anticipating
such raids with a sense of impend-

fast to prepare for them. In such
cities as Berlin, underground cor

cellars in whole blocks of houses;
Berlin cellars are being made gas

DEFENSES GOOD
Nevertheless, the only real air raid
shelters in the capital are those
under government buildings.
Though many guns have been

fire-the defenses behind the Ger

shattered glass, solved the problem
best. The new screen is of such
a material. 1t is a porous blanket
made up of 16 layers of black flame
proof expanded fiber and four layers
of the same material in light
color. 1t provides the three func-
tions essential in a blackout screen
1t will black out, stop glass and pro-
vide ventilation.
This blanket mounted in light
frame may be attached to the inside
Of windows and glass doors. The
construction of the blanket differs
from other glass shoppers in that it
Is designed to be resilient enough to
allow the pressure front of an ex-
plosion to pass through its mesh
with little resistance. 1t looks like
'blanket-type" insulation.
Since the material comes in rolls,
1t lends itself to individual mount
Ing requirements. 1t can be mounted
on roller, like porch shade, with
hinge springs placed at the sides of
the windows to hold the edges of
the blanket down during blackouts.
1t can be installed on a standard
window screen, and when not being
used the frames can be taken off
the hinge hangers.
You can easily make your own
blackout shades with this material
for it can be cut with large hand
shears. Its dark side is designed to
face the street and it's light side
the room.
Another advantage of the blanket
Is its light weight. Material to equip
a window AZ by 70 inches weighs
about 51s pounds:
