LONDON, Feb. 26-UP) - An
hour-long procession of Britain's
biggest bomberS blasted Nurnberg,
one of the most important indust-
rial centers of southern Germany,
and made subsidiary raids on west
err Germany last night.
At the same time it was re-

SCATTERING raid Wednesday night
on Naples, Italy's second port, as
well as an attack on Grotone on

FIRST IN MONTHS
The Nurnberg raid was the first
in nearly six months and fifth of
the war on the Nazi partys fav-
orite meeting town. One OF the
most distant important targets in
Germany. the raid required a
round trip of 1900 miles.
The air ministry said nine bomb
ere were lost in the raids on Nurn-
berg and western Germany and IN
mine laying operations.
The weight of the attacks were
indicated by reports from the Eng
lish southeast coast which told
OF the four-engined bombers
streaming across the English chan
mel for an hour or more.
FIGHTERS SHUTTLE
Twin-engined fighters also shut
tied back and forth across the
channel during the night, presum-
ably to harass German communica-
ton lines in occupied France, Bel
gium and Holland.
Still more RAF bombers and
fighters took over the offensive al
ter dawn. The sky was cloudless
and it was expected that heavy
daylight assaults on occupied Eu-
rope were in prospect.
CThe German radio said enemy
bombers were intercepted by Ger
man fighters over the north Ger
man coast this morning. The
bombers jettisoned their bombs and
turned back after several OF their

LONDON, Oct. 9.-(UP)-Allied

emy Convoy \ the Aegean yester-
day ard : German attack on the
island of SINH, Is miles northwest
of Rhodes. was repulsed with heavy
losses to the enemy, it was an
nounced officially today.
There had been on previous dis
closure that Allied forces had taken
Simi, which is one of the smallest
islands in the Dodecanese. The
communique issued by British head
quarters in Cairo said prisoners
were taken during the enemy at
tack.
4he announcement did not sepci-
fly where the German convoy was
intercepted, but it presumably was
carrying supplies and reinforce
ments to forces threatening to wipe
out small Allied garrisons on the
islands of Cos, Leros and Samos.
NO ELABORATION
There was no elaboration of the
naval action. The communique said
only that Allied light naval forces
operating in the Aegean Thursday
morning destroyed an enemy con-
voy with its escort indicating that
all the enemy vessels had been
sunk.
There was no mention of any Al

shot down over eastern and south

An authoritative statement ridi-

there had been at least three raids
this year against London which
were on a larger scale.

ganda purposes. Misleading az

of these is one which describes the
raid as comparable with that of

FIRST OF KIND
The statement was the first of
its kind ever issued by British
authorities and was made TO offset
German claims to having made a
heavy retaliation attack.
Bombs also were dropped in east
Anglia and southeast England.
The British formations which at
tackled Germany last night were
believed some 10 times greater than
the 60 Nazi aircraft which bombed
England. Watchers on the Eng

formations of four-engined Lam
casters, Strings and HalifaXes,
plus twin-engined Mosquitoes,
streamed overhead for nearly
three hours on the outward journey.

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME

Chatterer the Red Squirrel was
disguised with himself. with all his
neighbors, and with the world in
general, which is to say that Chat
terer was very much put out about
something. There was no doubt
about it. He couldn't see anything
cheerful in the sunshine or any
thing pleasant in the blue, blue sky,
and when any one fails to see cheer
fulneSs in the sunshine or to find
something pleasant in the blue, blue
sky. there is something wrong in his
own heart. That was the trouble
with Chatterer. There was . great
deal wrong in his heart.
In the first place, 1t was filled with
anger, and anger. you know, will
take all joy and pleasantness out Of
everything. And then Chatterer was
mortified. He was both angry and
mortified because Sammy Jay had
proved to have smarter wits than he
had. So, as soon as he could do so
without being seen. he slipped into
his new home In the old house of
Drummer the Woodpecker. in an
apple tree in the Old Orchard, and
there he sulked for the rest Of the
day. You see, Sammy Jay had made
him 60 over to Farmer Browns corn
crib and get him some corn right in
broad daylight, and he had very
narrowly escaped being seen by
Farmer Browns body. He had had

show their fear unmistakably. When

In spite of their very friendly at
titude toward us, koalas are very un-
sociable among themselves. They
like to be alone and, indeed, insist
on privacy. The adult males are
quite fond of selecting a dead limb
at the tip Of q tree. For hours they
appear to be vastly interested in all
they observe going on about them.
All Of the i've toes on each foot are
armed with q curved, needle sharp
claw. The toes are in groups of twos
and threes on each foot, the two
claws being In the form Of q double
thumb. There are few surfaces q
koala cannot climb. They have q
weakness for climbing flagpoles and
also telegraph poles. Since they are
so snugly clad and their claws dig
into the wood so well, the windy
weather does not keep them from
their lofty lookout posts.
The koala is absolutely harmless.
He is clothed in very thick grayish-
colored fur, has q prominent black
nose and stands about feet high,
tipping the scales at 80 pounds.
Most of his time is spent in the
branches Of certain eucalyptus trees,
on which he feeds at night. He
easily acquires taste for tea, candy
and starches-which upsets his d.
gestive apparatus completely. When
this happens, II they should have an
opportunity to get back to their ma
tive conditions, they feed on banks
OF certain trees and spaghum moss.
which Is believed to straishten them
out. They never drink water, since
they obtain enough moisture from
the juicy gum shoots Of the euca-
lyptus.
While it is possible that some of
our boys win be able to see and even
play with the cute little koala. they
Will have to leave behind them these
new friends when they return to
their beloved America. It Is not pos
sihle to take . koala out Of lie
