In Two Years
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, Jan. 20.-London was
bombed and machine-gunned to-
day in the largest German day

Britain. Preliminary reports in

Twenty-four children were killed
In this school alone, authorities
said
Ten children and six women were
killed in one London district
when a single bomb destroyed three
houses, while in another section six
children and three women were
killed when a bomb passed through
the top of cafe and burst in a row
of houses.
These brought the total of Lon
don's deaths to at least 40.
Two sections of the city were
bombed.
Only Few Reached London.
The Germans attacked under
cover of so to 100 fighters who
patrolled the Channel. 1t was es-
timated that 25 to 30 bombers
struck inland across Kent and Sus-
sex, They were engaged by RAF
fighters and only a few reached
London.
Raiders skinned the rooftops
while others lodged anti aircraft
bursts in cloud cover high overhead.
The attack befgan shortly after
noon and the all-clear was sounded
short time later
The planes attacked during the
lunch hour, machine cunning the
streets and buildings after sweeping
in over Southern England in greater
force than in any daylight raid in
two years.
1t was a small-scale repetition of
any OF score of days during the
early battle of Britain when the
Luftwaffe frequently struck by day
light.
First Day Alert Since October.
1t was the first daytime alert for
the British capital since last Octo-

A train approaching London was
machine gunned, but no casualties
were reported. .: e.. ..-
A number of spectators at a mur-
der trial took shelter in the cells of
Old Bailey when the trial was sus-
pended.
But many persons remained in
the streets to watch the battle.
Force Jettisons Bombs.
One force of raiders heading for
London was turned back outside
the city by British fighters, and
jettisoned its bombs.
Fighters and ground defenses
turned back another 20 German
planes over the southeast coast.
Heavy and light anti-aircraft bat
teries in some sections fired almost
constantly for 10 minutes. British
fighters also engaged the raiders in
aerial battles.
The attacks today followed up
overnight operations in which the
Raj ranged over the continent on
intruder patrols, attacking railway
targets in Northern France, Bel
GUM and the Netherlands.
The Air Ministry said the forays
were carried out without loss.
One German fighter was shot
down early this morning by British

Two items of special Ranger
equipment are not military Sc

en-inch dagger equally handy
for the silent dispatch of an enc

The other is a toogle rope. A
toggle rope is the Rangers pass
key to the toughest terrain. It's
a thick rope about six feet long,
has a loop at one end, a short
wooden handle at the other end.
Normally it is worn around the
waist. 1t can be used individ-
ually or woven with other toggle
ropes into one long rope or
bridge. 1t sees the Ranger up

rivers and gullies.

The Rangers all agreed, how

Rescued

HOUSTON, Texas, March IL
I-(P)-The tugboat captain and
his crew rubbed their eyes and
blinked.
There at sea, six miles from
the mainland, was horse swim
ming gaily along.
The sea-horse was headed to-
ward the Bolivar peninsula, be-
tween Galveston Bay and the
Gulf, and had several miles to
60. He didn't want help but -
Using his tug in lieu of cow
pony, Captain Jimmie Bailey of
the tugboat Nellie attempted to
round up the animal. After con-
siderable maneuvering, the horse
was herded onto reef and
staked out.
For three days the captain and
his crew hauled feed to the
horse; then they loaded him
aboard a barge and took him
ashore.
j. B. Little later claimed the
animal, a cowpony he calls
Brownie.
He said oyster fishermen told
him they saw Brownie head into
the bay, following the reefs.
Here and there he grazed on
patches of reef grass, and then
took to the water, headed for
Bolivar peninsula.
Brownie was peninsula-bound
for a reason. He used to live
there as a colt, Little explained,
and was just answering an in
stinctive call to return to his
favorite grazing grounds.

come alert. A machine gun on
shore manned by a superbly ac-
curate instructor opens up
slapping spray Of slugs inches
from the incoming boats. Red
tracers spatter near the paddles
and skip in spectacular ricochets
across the hill-hemmed loch.
KEEP EN- Low
The attackers land in the face
Of mines and grenades. They
quickly move up the slope. Their
objective is the hill top. Live
bullets whine through the val
ley, with the instructors careful
fire keeping the Rangers heads
down and churning up the earth
only a few inches from them.
Rangers blast at the target.
Bullets swoosh like rockets as
they skip off the rock targets.
Land mines and mortars shower
the attackers with mud and
stones. Only battle itself is more
realistic.
Who are these supermen? Two
years ago they were bank clerks
and truckdrivers, cigarmakers
and mechanics from every part
Of the United States. They vol
unteered for the Rangers mostly
for adventure" training" ito

Today they know they are in
