In response TO questions today he
said he planned to continue and in.
tensify the daylight bombing of
Germany. American planes already
have made two raids on northwest
ern Germany. Asked II he had any
plane for interrupting the sleep Of
Marshal Hermann Goering, An
drews said he did not contemplate
night bombing by American pilots.
II understand that somebody
else Is taking care Of interrupting
Goering's Sleep" Andrews said, re-
ferring to the Raj night raids on
Germany. II also understand that
they interrupted Goering's speech"
That was q reference to the raid
the British made last Saturday on
Berlin Just as Goering was about to
speak In celebration Of the 10th an
Iliversary Of the NaSi party'S access
sion.
Andrews pointed out that one Of
the most important problems was
to keep Allied transportation lines
open so that eventually these could
be an invasion Of the continent. He
said the U-boat was the chief men,
ace against communication lines.
II am delighted with the oppor-
tunity for about intensiflcation OF
air warfare" Andrews said In O
statement. I'VE plan to increase and
intensity air bombing Of the enemy
and prepare for larger forces which
undoubtedly will be brought here.
I'VE will build up the bomber
force here as fast as the formation
Of new units and shipping will per-
NIT. Submarine bases and factories
always are included in strategic
bombings."
