 Hit Varied Bases

London, Aug. 30-(UP)--Amer- ican warplanes estimated at more than 1000 strong attacked the Ger man naval base at Kiel, targets in the Bremen coastal area and eight flying bomb sites near Pas De Calais today, apparently coordinating the latter raid with the reported Brit- ish land drive on the same section.
 Approximately 500 Flying Fort resses. accompanied by about 300 Mustang fighter planes. struck Kiel and Bremen through clouds which forced the into bomb by instrument and prevented observation of re- suits.
 More than 250 other heavy bomb CTS struck the flying bomb launeh- ing platforms in the Pas De Calais area.
 One American plane was lost in the raid on Pas De Calais. and the pilots reported they encountered no enemy aircraft opposition and very little anti-aircraft fire. The target area, midway between the coast and a line drawn from Lille to Amiens, formerly sent mp heavy flax baT- rages agianst Allied aircraft.
 The assault on the flying bomb sites was made shortly after nearly 1900 British night bolnbers returned from plastering targets over a wide spread area Of Germany from Rer- lin to the big Baltic ports of Stettin and k0enigsberg.
 Low-hanglng clouds partially Ob- seured the flying bomb bases in northern France, but the American bombeFs hit the targets by instTu- ment.

Germans Prepare
 To Use Poison Gas

London, August 30. - (UP) - Germany is believed preparing 10 use poison gases on a mass scale, the London Daily Mail said today, and Swedish press dispatches re- ported that the Nazis are boasting of a new mystery weapon which they assert will win the war for Hitler within the next six months.
 The Daily Mail reported that the Germans plan to use poison gas in the hope of winning negotiated peace, but the Swedish accounts in- dicated that Berlin propangandists now are assuring their people that complete and early victory is certain.
 The Stockholm Dagens Nyheter and the Scandinavian Telegraph Bureau reported that word Of the German mystery weapon was splashed across the front pages Of Berlin,s newspapers this morning.
 German victory is not only cer- tain but near" one Nazi headline proclaimed. adding that the German people and their armies must only hold out until autumn when the new weapon will be unveiled,
 The unexpected outburst of Nazi optimism, which Swedish and other observers regarded merely as strong propaganda, was inspired by an article written by Joachim Fernau, a front correspondent of the Waffen Elite Guards.
 Fernau gave no details of the al- legged secret weapon. but he inti- mated that 1t would be refinement of the robot bombs-presumably the long -heralded "V-2" reprisal wea- pogI.
 Wars New Phase
 He asserted that the war entered new phase on June l6. when the robot bombing of London began, and that the intenslfieation of the Allied attacks in France resulted
