the biggest weight Of bombs dropped
In any one raid, more targets hit and
nearly twice as many enemy planes
brought down.
The months nine raids topped by
one the total made last August, the
busiest previous month. The March
raids covered Is targets, four OF
which-Amiens, Abbeville, Longueau
and Poix-were bombed on the
March 13 raid alone.

During March Germany lost 1l2
fighter planes, as against IS losses,
last October, which was the previous
high month.
Nineteen American bombers were

The ope4 ations during the last

targets were bombed in SO raids.
The March 8 raid on the Rennes
railroad yards was called by trans
portation evaluation experts the
best operation of its kind in the
whole war.
The most-pounded target last
month was Rouen, railroad junction

France, Holland and Northern Ger
many, which was attacked three
times, bringing to six the total
American assaults on it since the
first Fortress raid of August %, 1912.
The port of Rotterdam, with its
big Wilton shipyards serving enemy
surface craft, was hit twice in March.
The U-boat bases at Brest and
Lorient and the Wilhelmshaven ma
val base also were attacked last
month.

up to March had not been so ef-
fective, suddenly started clicking.

Up 40 Pct. in Period,
LytteIton Says
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, April 2.-Britain's

ers was four times as large as

ton in aircraft than the average
quarterly output in the previous
year, and that overall production of

He credited the increases to great
er labor efficiency and to scientific

Elisha E. TingIe
Commits Suicide
loontlnued FROM PIral parel

Tingle some months ago was
waylaid near Gumboro by two men
and suffered a fractured skull. He
hovered between life and death in
the. Milford Memorial Hospital for
several weeks, being unconscious
for nearly a week. Since that time,
ii is said, his mind had been af-
fected. Two weeks ago, il is said,
he went to his brothers store and
got a gun, presumably to commit
suicide, but they took it away from
him.
Tingle for many years was an
active Republican worker in the
third election district of the Sixth
Representative District and was
district committeeman at the time
of his death.
In addition to serving as district
committeeman for several terms,
he also was al road supervisor.
Son of the late Mr.. and Mrs.
Minos Burton Tingle, he was born
near Newfound. in Dagsboro Dis
trict and in his young manhood
assisted his father in hewing
shingles from logs which many
decades ago had been buried eight
and ten feet beneath mud, water
and underground in the Great Cy-
press Swamp, which often is re-
ferred to as the Everglades of low
er Delaware. His father was the
pioneer in hewing cypress shingles
from logs taken from the Cypress
Swamp. Many of the homes in
Gumboro District today have side
walls and roofs built from the
shingles which he and his father
made.
Funeral services were held on
Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock in
Gumboro Methodist Church. Inter-
ment was made in Bethel ceme-
terry, just across the Delaware and
Maryland line and located in the
latter state.
Besides his wife, Mrs. Bessie
Tingle, he is survived by the fol-
lowing children: Mrs. William APP
hus. o fSalisbury, Md; Mrs. Oliver
Fisher, near Gumboro; Milton
of Williamsville; Mrs.
