Enemy raiders scattered bombs in

Bigger Air Blows Hinted.
The week end lull in heavy bomb
ing attacks-a period in which
there was nothing to indicate the
weather over the continent was
keeping the RAF at home, suggested
that new and bigger air blows might
be in preparation.
The possibility that some new
targets, deeper in Europe, might
nave been placed on the bomb list
was seen in the fact that the BIC
warned Slovak workers to get out
OF factories working for the Nazis
or risk being bombed.
Although the Mosquitoes hit at
Berlin Thursday night it was not

the conversation veered around to
something he was especially inter-
eSted in" Pfc. Miller recalls. Then
he let loose with torrent of oratory
that didn't make much sense. No
body paid much attention to him"
There were many others who
dropped in on the Millers in those
days-people like Dorothy Thomp-
son, the columniSt; Brig. Gen. Will
liam Mitchell, earliest advocate of
air power for the Army; George
Seldes, correspondent; Ernest Hem
ingway, author, and dozens of Dip
lomatS, members of royalty and
visiting Senators. For a time Mr.
Miller was frequent tennis oppo-
nent of the present Pope Plus XII,
then Cardinal Pacelli, nuncio to
Germany.
For while Mrs. Miller herself
entered newspaper work as society
editor for the Paris edition of the
New York Herald Tribune.
Mrs. Miller is ready to admit that
no small reason for her enlisting in
the WAAC is her determination to
carry on for her husband.
Saw Things Shaping Up.
He spent the better part of his
life trying to warn this country of
what was going on behind Europe's s
chancellery doors" she said. For
years he watched the shifting of
power, the events that were building
up to the present war. He could see
how things were shaping up, and
he did his best to get others to un-
derstand."
There was one other incident with
Hitler but Mrs, Miller herself was
not in on it. Her husband was TAX
ing a walk through the Bavarian
Alps and stopped for the night at
a small WaySide inn. There was one
other guest, a wild-eyed man who
had just gotten out of Jail and was
writing book The man was Hitler
