Show PAGE FOUR PROVO (UTAH) DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, MAY 12, 1941 resiminsier Abbey Hit By Nazi Bombs . ' k BY NED RUSSELL LONDON, May 12 U.I? German Ger-man raiders broke up into scattered scat-tered hit-run formations last night, avoiding- mass contact with the British defenders who have shot down 16S raiding planes already al-ready this month. Almost 40 areas of Britain were bombed, but there was no concentrated attack anywhere, and London was avoided. The Germans had lost 33 planes while blasting historic Westminster church and parliament buildings Saturday night. Londoners had believed this was. the beginning of a titter and sustained aerial siege, and most of them had bedded down in shelters before dark. There were three alarms but no bombs fell. . Wreckage lay deep around some of the empire's most hallowed shrines, particularly Westminster abbey, where four years ago today to-day King George and Queen Elizabeth El-izabeth were crowned in a bay and colorful ceremony, but Londoners Lon-doners found encouragement in the capitulation of German losses for the first 11 days of this month, including another eight planes shot down last night, and also in the fact that the full moon last night "had seen the raids diminish. dim-inish. 132 Raiders Downed The score for 11 days of May was: 93 raiders shot down by night fighters over Britain and eight over France. 24 shot down at ni?ht bv anti-aircraft guns and two brought down bv the balloon barrage a total of 132. Daylight losses were: 29 by fighters, six ty antiaircraft guns, one by unknown un-known cause a total of 36. The nightly score during May has been: one. six, 16, nine, nine, nine, 24, 14, three, 33, seven. The May losses compare with 15 night raiders shot down in January. 15. in February, 47 in March, 91 in April. British night fighters, including American-made Douglas DB-7's, and anti-aircraft guns had .reached .reach-ed a new all time high in shooting shoot-ing down some 10 per cent of the estimated 300 to 400 raiders over Britain Saturday night. If such a ration could be maintained, even on the moonlit nights, it was believed, the German fliers' morale mor-ale would soon break down. The destruction of the house of commons debating hall, including such relics as the speaker's chair, dispatch boxes and statues of famous fa-mous statesmen; the damage to the house of lords, vast Westminster Westmin-ster hall, to Big Ben, the 12 ton clock whose chimes were broadcast throughout the empire, and to other historical sites, had Wn accepted calmly by the pub-l:cr pub-l:cr " 1 -" "- - .

The full significance of Russia's move in Iraq was not clear but it seemed obviously timed to give moral support to the Iraq regime of pro-Nazi Premier Rashld Al-Gailani Al-Gailani who has risen against the British in this vital sector. Jianhld KecogjUiedj-t - ...... The Russian announcement, as circulated by the official Tass news agency, said that Russia had given diplomatic recognition to Rashid's regime and agreed to an exchange of diplomatic missions. The action did not appear to be so important as its timing. Russia announced that the diplomatic recognition had been accorded May 3 the day after fighting between be-tween the British and Iraq broke out as a result of negotiations carried out at Ankara by Soviet niici Iraq, diplomatic representatives. representa-tives. The report by Tass emphasized that recognition was the outgrowth out-growth of earlier negotiations carried car-ried on last fall. At that time Rashid was also in power in Iraq. In the late winter he was expelled ex-pelled from office but came back into power within a few weeks by a coup d'etat. 'According to Moscow, negotiations negotia-tions last fall bogged down because be-cause Rashid desired Russia to accompany recognition with a statement recognizing the independence" inde-pendence" of "Arab countries" including in-cluding Iraq. This Russia was not prepared to do. The present recognition was not accompanied by any statement recognizing Arab independence. Arab states in addition to Iraq include Saudi .Arabia. Transjor-dania. Transjor-dania. Libya, Algeria. Morocco, and Syria. Palestine. Turkey and Iran have large Arab populations. Russia's step contrasted sharply sharp-ly with that of Iran (Persia) which was reported in British sources to have declined to give its support to Rashid. Turkey also has been holding more or less aloof from Rashid as has Saudi Arabia while the pro-British regime re-gime in Tran-ciordania has been cooperating: with the British in their efforts to regain control of Iraq. Even Germany does not at the moment have diplomatic relations with Iran the.ec having . been broken off at the start of the European war although Berlin has mad n secret of its sympathy sym-pathy with Rashid's fight. of Pleasant Grove.
