LONDON, June 26-(P)-The
Raj sent more than 900 bomb
erS over Germany last night for
the third time within a month
and the Air Ministry said today
that Bremen, the chief target
for the devastating assault, was
strewn with Large fires"
Planes from all branches Of
the Raj roared out in the great
sky-filling armada of lover l.

and 50 did not come back.
The great Raj force compar-
ed in size, if il did not actually
SurpaSs, the 1,130 plane force
which left Cologne in flaming
ruin on May 80 and the 1896
plane smashed on Essen two
nights later.
Each of the three massive air
blows has been aimed at a vital
arsenal supplying war tools for
Adolf Hitler's land, sea and air
forces.
SAVAGE ATTACK
BY centering on Bremen, the
Raj evidently was adhering to
a policy of mailing priority tar
gets of U-boats, especially u
boats under construction. In the
period since the Essen Cologne
raids, smaller Raj squadrons-
presumably of several hundred
planeS-four times have smash
ed at Emden, a U-boat base 70
miles northwest Of Bremen.
It was the second time this
month that Bremen was singled
out by the British for the RATS
fire bath.
Besides being Germany's Sec
ond largest port, with a popula-
ton of almost 100000, Bremen
offered targets in abundance
along with shipbuilding yards
and one of Germany's biggest
submarine construction works, il
has docks, railways, steel works,
oil refineries and the Focke-
Wulf ia tory and airdrome
where the Nazis get fighters and
great, long-range bombers.
An Air Ministry communique
said:
Last night very large forces
of our aircraft drawn from all
the home operational commands
of the Raj were in operation.
THE bombing force consisted
of more than 1000 aircraft and
its main objective was Bremen,
the enemy'S second largest port
and one of the principle centers
of his submarine production.
Large fires were seen but .
considerable amount of heavy
cloud made accurate observation
of results very difficult.
IMMOBILIZE FIGHTERS
'STo disorganize the enemy's
defenses many airfields in the
low countries were subjected to
intensive harassing attacks by q
second force of bombers and
fighters.
'In the course of these intrud-
err operations and in the many
combats which took place be-
tween our bombers and enemy
fighters some enemy aircraft
were damaged or destroyed.
From the nights operations
a total of 50 aircraft of all COM

This version does not coin

broadcast said.
TRIPLE ATTACK
Crewmen of a Russian freight
er at Sydney, Australia, said
they were attacked three times
recently by a submarine believ-
ed TO be japanese.
Although formally bound by
a neutrality and friendship
pact. Russia and Japan have
several times warned each other
against such provocative Incl
dents" which might lead to hos
tilities on a new front in the
global war.
Meanwhile, Japan sought to
cover up the humiliating defeat
in the battle of Midway by send
ing a message to Admiral ISor-
oku Yamamoto, commander in
chief of the combined Japanese
fleet, lauding "brilli1nt sue
ceSses over a vast area of
the eastern Pacific ocean since
June 4 despite stormy weather
June 4 marked the start OF
the battle of Midway and the
japanese thrust into the Aleu-
tian Islands off Alaska.
A similar message was sent
to the supreme commander of
Japanese ground forces in the
eastern Pacific, whose name was
not disclosed.
SILENCE SIGNIFICANT
The silence of the latter s
IDENTITY was significant because
the message evidently apple to
the JAP 1ese invasion of the
AleutianS and it is Japans in
variable rule to keep secret the
names of commanders in spe-
cific zones until their operations
are successful.
