Big British Ships
Hit Ruhr Valley

LONDON, April 8. - CUP)-The
Royal Air Force sacrificed 81 planes
last night in heavy attack on
Germany's Industrial Ruhr Valley
main arsenal of the Axis armies,
Roaring back into action after
q three-night rest, Britain's four
engined bombers defied bad wealth
er to press home their attack
AGAINST an area housing plane, tank,
arms and munitions factories.
GA British broadcast recorded by
the United Press in New York said
the mair attack was against the
steel city and river port Of Duis-
burg)
The large toll of planes was at
tributed as much to weather condi-
tionS as to anti-aircraft defenSeS.
An air ministry communique said
the weather also obscured results
of the raid.
AIR RAID SOUNDED
Air raid sirens sounded in Lon
don during the. noon lunch hour
today when q single German plane
approached the capital in high
clouds. However, it turned back
without passing over the city and
the all-clear followed within half
an hour.
Britains bomber command had
been grounded since Sunday night
by fog, gales and even snow, but
conditions improved somewhat by
the time the planes took off for
the Ruhr last night. Nevertheless,
the losses suffered indicated that
the planes ran into unfavorable
weather conditions over the conti-
nent.
The raid was the first on the
Ruhr since bombers dropped an es-
timated 9C0 tons on Essen, site of

front and rear supply lines with
many destructive air attacks.
Previous dispatches reported cap

the final phase of the battle of

making q total of about 10000 to

Erwin Rommels retreating Aflika

advance of the Eighth army, which
has now joined forces with the
Americans from the central front,
had progressed more than Is miles
north of the Wadi Akarit and was
striking past La Skhirra toward
Graiba, which is only a little more
than 80 miles from SfaX.
There was considerable doubt
whether Rommel, harried BY Allied
air attacks which cost him many
vehicles, could make another big
scale stand south of Sousse, almost
100 miles north of Graiba. The
Eighth army already had taken
$500 prisoners since they broke

 Veteran or
 World w ar l : - -

Captain Logan Campbell, Base Intelligence and Public Relations Officer, would tell you that it is more fun gunning for deer in the West Texas hills than shooting for trouble on an Air Base. But the jobs the thing, and the security of the Field is in capable and ex- perienced hands under the present S-2 Officer.
 The Captain has wide back ground. Born in Traer, Iowa, and schooled at the University of Ne braska, for 19 years he was in the insurance business. Seventeen of these were spent with the Aetna Life Insurance company as man. ager of their Group Insurance De- partments at Columbus, Ohio, Des Moines, Iowa and San Antonio, Texas. At the same time he was home office representative on group insurance installations in many other States and thus at tained a valuable knowledge of the nation. As for the Army-the Cap tain is veteran of World War I. He served with the 34th Division in this country and with the 26th Division in France. He has since attended schools at Camp Mabry, Texas, and Miami Beach, Florida. He came to Bradley Field in Octo- Der, 1922.
 The multiplicity of duties con- nected with Public Relations, add ed to the functions of Intelligence, makes the Captain one of the bus jest Officers in Headquarters. Of- fcial conferences and social lan- agreements require his frequent presence throughout the Base Area since there are many occa- sions on which he must represent the Commanding Officer.
