four motored Flying Fortresses flew
1900 miles from North Africa to
strike at the Munich region, where
specific targets were not disclosed
in the Algiers communique.
Similarly, B-24 Liberators from
North Africa ranged only slightly
shorter distance to hit Weiner Neu-
stadt - last bombed from the Mid
die East on August 10. -- where a
factory making air frames for Mes
serschmitts was the target, Heavy
cloud layers prevented accurate OBJ
servation of results in both attacks,
the communique said.
The communique reported that
enemy fighters were encountered in
both raids but gave no further de-
tails. The Swiss radio reported,
however, that four American planes
were shot down over Swiss territory
yesterday by Swiss anti-aircraft
batteries and German fighters. 1t
said some Of the American flyers
bailed opt successfully but that the
bodies Of seven others were found
in Swiss territory.
Plane Losses
The Nazi-controlled Paris radio
said that II British and American
planes were shot down over the
eastern Alps and that five four
engined American planes, were de-
stroyed and several more damaged
In battle over the western Alps.
The raid on Germany by Medi-
terranean- biased bombers with
the prospect Of many more to come
as the Allies consolidated their po-
sitions around the newly-won Fog
gia airfield network only 500 air
miles from Munich - climaxed one
Of the most important weeks Of the
aerial struggle for Europe.
The London Daily Herald said
that approximately 1000 American
heavy bombers - Liberators and
Fortresses - now are based In
Britain, indicating that during the
coming winter combined British and
U. s. air armadas will be able to
attack German targets with as high
as 1000 tons Of bombs in a single
night.
The U. S. Army announced that
Britain based American heavy
bombers and medium Marauder
bombers last month dropped s,10o
tons Of high explosives on Europe,
an increase OF so per cent over any
previous month. Eight thousand
tons would have been an unusually
heavy month even for the Raj six
months ago.
The attack was the seventh on
Munich, the last being on Septem-
Der 8. Munich is known as the
birthplace OF the Nazi party and for
its aircraft, Diesel engine and Ersatz

Next Tuesday win be the S0th an
adversary Of the election Of the late
Martin Scully as mayor Of Water
bury. Actually there we're two cleo
tions IN 1918, one on Monday, Oc-
tober 9 to decide whether or not
members Of the legislature should
receive $500 or $500 per annum;
the regular election on the following
day. The Monday referendum was
by paper ballot; that on Tuesday by
machine. Mr.. Scully was elected by
47O votes over A. F. Sherwood. In
cidentally that was the first election
1t which women voted In Water
bury, but the turnout on their part
was quite discouraging to the "suf-
fragettes" of that day. The late
William F. Moher was elected city
clerk; the late Edward Moran, city
treasurer: Michael D. Russell OF
Cambridge, Mass, controller; and
the late Robert Palmer, town clerk.
Voting in those days was solely
BY wards. In the First Ward It
was always the old ArmOry on
Phoenix avenue. A booth on the
north side Of the Green opposite
Prospect street was used by vOt-
ers Of the Second Ward. The
Third Ward booth was erected
on the old City Hall site on West
Main street, while the Fourth
Ward voted in the booth on South
Main street near Union. The Fifth
Ward cast its ballots in Union
square. In Waterville, the Sixth
Voting District, ballOting took
place at Carney's hall. The polls
were open from 8 a. m. to p. m.
in those days and II didn't take
long to compile the count for the
entire city.
