H. s. Engineers Develop
Mew Rocket Type Bomb

LONDON, April 90 ZAP Sc
cret work by American Air Force
engineers has developed a new
type of high-powered rocket bomb
conceived by the British Navy for
use against German submarine
and E-boat pens, it was disclosed
today.
The new weapon - hurled from
bombers at speed faster than

for aerial warfare by a special
section Of engineers, all combat
veterans, of the U. S. Eighth Air
Force.
On February 10 and on March

were used by BIZ Flying For
tresses of the Eighth Air Force
in attacks on the German E-boat
pens at Ijmuiden, Holland. Con-

volume by Sunday night.
approximately 5000 persons are

LAST BATTLESHIP

Russians Are Believed In
Possession Of Dread.
naught, Cruiser

LONDON, April 20-(P)-The Ger
man navy, Keeling under Allied
knockout blows, has. lost its last
pocket battleship, the Luetzow, the
Air Ministry announced tonight,
and authoritative reports were re-
ceived of other Gripping naval
losses.
These reports said the Russians
were believed to have seized the
26,O00-ton battleships Gneisenau
and the 10,00O-ton heavy cruiser
Seydlitz at Unidentified Baltic ports
while Stockholm dispatches said
that what was left of the German
navy fled to refuge at Copenha-
gen.
The Air Ministry said the Lieut.
zow is out of actidl lying on the
bottom in shallow water at Swine
muende on the Baltic coast, her
plating brickled led by
an Raj bomb.
AS remnants of her once stable
fleet Germany now has only the
eight-inch gun cruiser Prinz Eugen
and the light cruiser Nuremberg.
The Stockholm dispatches said
the Prinz Eugene, six destroyers, a
number of submarines and at least
26 other fleet units had just reach
Ell Copenhagen, and that this port
would become the base for what
it left of the Nazis' Baltic fleet.
The Luetzow is the fourth OF sew
en- German capital ships knocked
out of action by the Raj alone.
In this case, the Air Ministry said,
a bomb burst so feet from the ship,
the violent underwater explosion
smashing her plates.
In recent Raj attacks the peck
ct battleship Admiral Scheer was
sunk at Kiel, and the 6,O0o-ton
cruiser Koeln was sunk at Will
helmshaven.

The creation of Community

Recommendation of the estab-

that this committee had given
much time and study to this type
of organization, which now exists
in some IS cities since its begin
ming in Cleveland in 1913.
Newman described the Founda.
ton as a trusteeship created ir
cooperation with certain local
banks to provide competent and
perpetual administration for char.
table requests. Administration is
usually in the hands of Board OF
Trustees with terms varying from
three to seven years.
According to Newman the ag.
