The mental age of motion pic
lures and the people who make
them has been variously computed
by cynics at from six months to 16
summers, or from goo-goo to ga-ga.
Most of us old-timers can remem-
Der when there we're still six-foot
leading men who had all their own
hair without being F, and we can
cite instances to prove that from
20 to 20 was once the ideal publish
ed age for a glamor girl.

for an Academy Award is tiny,

veterans, Laraine Day and Robert

he was overnatched.

on Good Friday at st. Paul's Epis-
copal church, st. Mary's Catholic,
Grace Lutheran and the First Bap-
tist church.
Ministers of the city expressed
themselves as highly pleased with
the Holy Week services and felt
that they were justified by the in
tereSt and the results, in emphasiz-
ing this series Of nightly worship
services, eliminating in the Good |
Friday observance, rather than in
concentrating on an Easter union
service.
Easter services were scheduled |
by the various churches for Sun

One thousand men, women and
children attended the union Good
Friday services sponsored by the
city ministerial association and
held in the First Baptist church be-
tween the hours of 1-3 pm.
This large attendance was proof
of the need the services met and
also of the value of closing places
of business for those hours since
many employees and heads of con-
Germs took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to worship at this service.
The church was kept constantly
filled as residents came and went.

Mrs. Roosevelt was asked her
view on the current question of
overseas duties for WAVES. She

Nazi Fighter Pilots
Try 10 Bomb Planes
Flying Below
Repeated Attempts Hint
Germans May Seek New
Air Warfare Technique
BY THOMAS r.. HENRY,
Star Staff Correspondent.


LONDON (By MaiD Fighting
aircraft have started bombing each
other.
The latest trick of German fighter
pilots, according to repeated reports
of crews of American Flying Fort
resses who encounter them over
France and the Low Countries, is to
get on top and drop augmentation
bomb on the plane itself.
The Fortress, of course, is an eX-
tremely elusive target. 1t is difficult
enough to hit a fixed target on the
ground from high in the air, to say
nothing of one which never slows
down below $50 miles an hour.
No Reports Of Success.
There have been no reports ,hus
far of any direct hits. The bomb
dropping, American pilots believe, is
perhaps only an experiment to test
whether it is possible to do any
damage in this way. The fighters
have grown wary of any close en-
counters with the American bombers
and for some time have been con-
serving their strength and trying to
accomplish as much damage as pos
sible by trickery.
But the bomb dropping fighter,
even if unsuccessful, constitutes a
strange innovation in air warfare
which started, it is recalled by Paul
CARRIER, aviation curator of the
Smithsonian Institution, about the
first year of the last war, when pilots
of planes, which were introduced
purely for observation, started
throwing stones at each other. Be
fore that enemies had simply waved
at each other if they passed In the
air. The next weapon was a stone
tied to light rope with which they
tried to mess up each others pro-
pellers. Then came the machine
gun, with which the war ended.
Now Lacks Precision.
Use of cannon on planes started
with this war. Bombing of targets
above the clouds seems the next
step which probably will require for
success much greater precision in
craftsmanship than has yet been
attained. A hit now would be al
most purely a matter of chance.
The augmentation bombs used
are described as "overgroWn hand
grenades" filled with fragments Of
steel and with casing nodded and
chilled so that it breaks into thou
sands of pieces when the missile ex-
plodes. It's normal use by flyers Is
against personnel on the ground. 1t
is one of the most effective weapons
for breaking up moving columns of
infantry.
At first it was thought that Ger
man uses of them against bombers
were cases of personal idosyncrasy
of some Axis pilots, but the increas-
ing frequency with which such Incl
dents are reported leads to the sus-
picion that they may be part of a
planned experiment.
