British Blast St. 0mer
In 5tepped-up Raids
Across Channel
II Fighter Planes Lost
In Fierce Doefiehts
With Nuzi Defenders
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, April 4.-The most
violent daylight air fighting of
the spring ragged over the con-
tinental coast today as row on
row of high flying British battle
planes swept over the Channel
and returned with II of their
number missing from a bloody
encounter with Nazi defenders.
German radio accounts of the
action said their new-type Focke-
Wulf fighting planes and heavy
caliber anti-aircraft guns smashed
up strong formations OF British
fighters protecting dozen twin
motored bombers along the French
and Belgian coasts.
This account claimed IL of the
British planes were downed and
that all the German planes we're
safe, but the British said they de-
stroyed at least five of the Germans.
The British communique described
railways in the region of st. Omer
as the objective The Germans said
most of the raiders were driven off
from their target and only a few
bombs we're dropped.
Observers along the southeast
British coast said some waves of
R. A. F. fighters few to the attack
so high they could hardly be seen,
while others barely SKINNED the
waves.
Bombers Get Home Safely.
All the bombers reached their
objectives and unloaded their lethal
cargoes and all were escorted safely
home across the Channel, the Air
Ministry said Spitflres of the Fight
er Command Tended off the German
attackers in fierce doghghts.
One wing of fighters encountered
40 enemy aircraft endeavoring to
attack the British formation from
above and beneath. In the ensuing
combats many of the enemy were
hit and damaged but the Air Min
istry said it was impossible to OBJ
serve the full results.
Many fights were at $4,000 feet.
One wing destroyed four Nazi
planes The wing commander got
one with his first burst and then
destroyed another with his second
round.
Linked with the heavy German
attacks Thursday night along the
| Southeast Coast in which the Nazis
may have been attempting to fore
stall any commando raids similar
to those on St. Nazaire and Brune-
val, today's action suggested that
both sides were girding for furious
spring warfare across the Channel.
Raids "Just a Starter"
A squadron leader, returning from
today's raids, said this is just a
starter"
Britain's bomber command since
February has dealt death and de-
struction to II continental cities,
battered a dozen key Nazi industrial
plants and scourged Axis shipping

Her thoughts were different

The thin woman said nothing.
She stared at the ceiling and

He removed the dressing from
the heavy woman's leg and
squeezed the sides of the raw
incision.
"A man like that" he went
on, doesn't deserve a sweet
soul like Mrs. Williams. I was
informing here when she came

this, he's never been here to see
her." He shook his head. I'm

The heavy woman sighed.
"You can't do anything with
a woman like her." she said
softly. "She's the kind that
loves her man, and that's all
there Is TO 1t. He could do any
thing-probably does, too-and
