AIR FORCES
SMASH OVER
ON GERMANS
Greatest Aerial Blows 10
Date Supporting
Invasion Forces

SUPREME HEADQUARTERS OF
ALLIED EXPEDITION AIRY
FORCES, June 12.--American heavy
bombers and streams of lighter craft
pumped a steady hail OF bombs and
lead on German defenses in the
greatst aerial blows to date, sup
porting the French invasion.
FLYING in fine weather, the Allied
air forces by noon today had run
I'D more sorties than all day yester-
day when 1000 planes slammed the
Germans from dawn to long after
nightfall, then Royal Air Force
bombers, heavies and mediums, and
light fighters raced over the battle
lines far into France, bombing and
strafing specific targets in rapid-fire
order on calls of the ground units.
This action indicates planes are
flying from newly-established bases
on French soil and clicking right
beside the ground forces.
The strategy of the air forces Is
to disrupt the transport lines within
100 miles of the battle line over
which Marshal Rommel is trying
to bring up tactical reserves. The
Allied air forces are bombing rail
centefS beyond the mile radius
through which the Germans might
draw strategic reserves from south
ern France.
The German air force is respond
ing with heightening strength and
about 100 Nazi planes were over the
battle area last night.
American Thunderbolt pilots, re-
turning early this morning from
forays, reported the opposition was
the toughest yet" One Thunder
bolt formation was jumped on by
about SO German fighters. The pilots
said German flax is still the biggest
hazard
The Germans claim, according to
Berlin broadcast, they sank one
small transport in Seine Bay last
night.

Finds Banking Institutions
Devoting All Resources
10 Wartime Needs

j. F.. Mullen, President OF the
B. M. Behrends Bank, has returned
from a two months business trip
outside, where he conferred with
banking officials on the east and
west coasts.
The first and most important
business of the nations financial
institutions at this time is the
devotion of their resources in aid
ing the Government in the prose-
cution of the war; and secondly,
to use their influence to educate
the people in thrift and encourage
them to save for postwar oppor-
;unities, Mr.. Mullen found. Bank
ers generally are optimistic about
leconversion, he said, to peacetime
production, and expect a period OF
prosperity following the war.
Mr.. Mullen was in Seattle at
the time OF the invasion, and re-
ports that while some excitement
prevailed, most people took the
great news quite calmly A con-
siderable tension vas noticeable
before the event.
Travel Difficulties
Travel difficulties still hamper
the visitor in the States, Mr.. Null
len said. and the hotels are filled
with servicemen and their famil-
les. Reservations must be made
far in advance for train pullmanS
There are no restrictions on travel
aside from these natural Difficult
ties, which are increased at the
present eimc by the shifting 81
population occasioned by the COM
pletion Of war contracts III some
sections, and the consequent move
ment of workers to other parts d
the county.
Mr.. Mullen visited his son Ben
