Bracken Charges
Nazis With
New Jew Sayings

LONDON, July 6. UP)-BritiSh
Minister of Information Brendan
Rracken charged Thursday that
the Germans are setting up public
slaughterhouses" in Europe into
which thousands of Jews are being
herded to their deaths.
This is the biggest scandal IN
the history of human crime and the
responsibility rests ON the German
neople." Pracken said at a Memoir
ial luncheon held in honor OF the
late Brig. Gen. Kisch, Jewish
officer who was killed in North
Africa while serving as chief en-
gineer for the British Eighth army.
v What the Germans are doing y
Bracken sale, "is nothing less than
setting up abbatoirs in Europe into
which are shepherded thousands Of
Jews They are dispatched with
the sort of brutal efficiency in
which the Prussian delights 8.
The German people have the re-
sponsibility, also the German gen.
eral staff, which could have stopped
it.
Il hope that when the time comes
when exemplary punishment is Civ
en- the people responsible for these
outrages, the German general staff
will be the first to be dealt with.
Imperial Valley press., 1944-07-06

LONDON, July 6. (UP)-A squad
ron of RAF Mosquito bombers
hurtled down the Kiel canal be-
tween two rows of barrage balloons
and spewed string of mines across
the waterway, closing the vital
canal to Nazi shipping at a critical
moment in the war and less than
a month before the invasion of
France, the air ministry revealed.
In one of the most daring and
carefully planned raids of the war
the Mosquitoes hit the big canal
during the night of May II, dropped
their mines and were away almost
before the startled Germans could
open fire. 1t was the first mine
laying operation ever undertaken by
the speedy, plyWood Mosquitoes, and
1T was completed SO successfully that
1,C00,000 tons of German overseas
cargoes and another 100000 tons of
coastwise shipping were blocked in
side the canal for almost two weeks.
The air ministry said the attack
forced the Germans to suspend
shipments of coal to Sweden and
military supplies to Norway at the
Imperial Valley press., 1944-07-06
BonabeYs Close
Up KieI CunoI

beginning of the ice-free season
when traffic through the Kiel canal
normally is at its peak.
The canal was closed for seven
days, partially reopened for three
days and then closed again for an
other three days while the Germans
frantically combed the waters for
the hidden mines.
The Mosquitoes struck suddenly
under bright moonlight, striking
through the narrow path marked by
the barrage balloons in such a
stright course that only one plane
was lost. That ship was believed to
have been flying so low that 1t
crashed into the canal.
The Mosquito attack followed by
month a similar raid by group
of four-engined Lancaster bombers
that flew 1000 miles from Britain
to SOW mines in the vital Koenigs-
berg canal and Baltic sea outlet for
tie port of KoenigSberg.
The Lancasters struck during the
night Of April 10 at time when
the Germans were falling back be-
fore the Russian armies on the
Leningrad front and were trying to
rush reinforcements through the
Baltic. That assault closed the
Koenigsberg canal for Is days and
rendered the port useless to the
Nazis as a supply base for the
Lcningrad front.

EInpIoye Insurance
Costs Increase,
Councilnlen Learn

Premium increase by the State
Employees Compensation Commits
sion which would cost Ell Centre
$5915I more than last year was
considered by the City Council
Wednesday night.
City Clerk Neal Gavin informed
cOuncilmen that although there
were less than 10 accidents last
year, the state safety engineer said
the additional cost was due to ac-
cidentS.
Councilman Herb FaWcett point
ed to larger payroll as the reason
for the advanced oosjs.
Council passed a resolution ap-
proving the purchase of a new
Chevrolet for the police department.
Gavin reported that the Dodge
was sold for $3.50 to a San Diego
