 RAID TODAY
 ON CHANNEL

LONDON, June 1.-RAF Fighter squadrons sped through broken clouds today to the southwest coast to resume attacks on Nazi-held channel ports.
 Many formations were seen from the ground and others flying too high to be seen but were heard.
 The daylight stabs by the Fight CTS will most certainly be followed by attacks tonight by bombers.
 Residents along the English Channel report this afternoon that the sound of explosions in the Calais region are plainly heard.
 German fighters attacked the southeast coast of England this af- ternoon and four are reported to have been destroyed.

CROSS-COUNTRY
 BUSINESS TRIP
 IS COMPLETED
J. F. Mullen Returns After Almost Three Months
 in States

Returning over the weekend after being absent since March 10 on a business trip that took him to San Francisco, Washington, D. C., and New York City, John F. Mullen, president of the B. M. Behrends Bank, revealed a comprehensive picture of our nation at war.
 Tt is very apparent that indus try's production is tremendous and seems to be functioning very smoothly" MT. Mullen said. There is a big difference in that respect from conditions of year ago. The people likewise are generally war conscious, so much so that the sub ject of arousing consciousness is no longer even brought up for discussion"
 The war casualty list, in the opinion of the banker, has been in strumental in bringing about the more aware viewpoint, with every town being touched by war deaths.
 Smoot hness of operation so noticeable in industry at the pres ent time is in striking contrast with that of the last war, MT. Mullen stressed, when production was car ried on in a hectic and sometimes haphazard manner, as compared to the suave efficiency generally pre- vailing at present.
 Morale Good
 "Rationing has touched everyone in the States. Food is restricted, and meat is scarce. In California beef especially is hard to obtain. However, the publics attitude is good and every restriction is taken with good grace The morale of the country is splendid, and busi- ness, especially retail business, is very fine" MT. Mullen said
 wholesalers are feeling tn pinch somewhat of curtailed sup plies in some respects. but it doesn't look as though there will be any sharp curtailment of gen. eral commodities at least for some time" he stated.
 MT. Mullen found life in the cities visited proceeding pretty much as usual, the chief differ ence being the landoffice business now being carried on in the large stores. New York City is the only one to be hit badly by wartime shifts of industry and population, MT. Mullen said. explaining that the money is largely staying in the surrounding defense spots and New York bankers are rather hurt by the diversion of funds.
 Visits DimOnd
 In Washington, D. C., MT. Null len called on Alaskan delegate An thony J. Dimond but was prevent ed from having a longer confer ence because of pending legisla- tion which necessitated the latter's presence in the House.
 Mrs. Mullen accompanied her husband on the eastern trip and is at present with their daughter Beatrice in San Francisco, where Miss Mullen is employed with a firm of ottornavc
 While east they visited their son Ben, with the U. s. Engineers and stationed at Lancaster Penn. They also visited their daughter Virginia, now Mrs. John B. Durney, whose husband, First Lieutenant Durney, was then completing course at Baltimore, Md. He has since been sent to Fort Knox, Ky, for further work. Mrs. Durney has accompan- jed him to the new location.
