England was emerging from almost three months of continual bombing with greater confidence in its ability to withstand whatever the As the Luftwaffe can deliver. stormy weather wore on and German planes were not halted by fog and freezing weather, British air leaders increased the fury of their own raids over France, Germany and Italy. Prime Minister Winston Churchill made bold to predict that by spring, 1941, with the help of American production, England will seize supremacy of the air. The German air attack on London was reduced in one respect. Daylight raids were fewer and less violent. In the beginning Air Marshal Goering sent large formations in daylight raids. During this period the British scored heavily. Then the tactics shifted to single planes at varying heights. The German losses were reduced, but still remained ' high. Now raids are confined largely to night. Bombers drop their packages from the substratosphere and scoot for home.

Blue Danube Famed in song, and romance, the beautiful blue Danube has become a highway of conflict in Hitlers march to the east. Germany was supposed to have agreed with Russia to limit its penetration of the Balkans to commercial ties. When Nazi legions were sent into Rumania to instruct King Michaels army, Russia apparently looked at the proceedings with sour face. Heavy echelons of Soviet troops were sent along the Danube to create a military area. German troops lined the other bank. German submarines, knocked down and shipped by rail to Rumania, were floated down the Danube to its mouth in the Black sea. There a German naval base quickly grew up. The base is a definite threat to the main Russian fleet in those waters. k SABOTAGE: Mr. Dies Again AUTO COURTS CASA BLANCA AUTO COURT Routes 40 and 91 1489 So State St. Exclusive, dignified, stea n heated, tile bath room SURPRISING LOW WINTER RATES BARBER COLLEGE 170 New Class Now Starting MOLER BARBER COLLEGE Barber tools furnished on new plan Salt Lake City, Utah Regent Street PIANO BARGAIN Chickering, Autopiano, Kimball, Story & Clark, Crown and many other makes $49.50 and up.

He gating called attention to the fact that a former member of the German American Bund told his committee several weeks before the New Jersey disaster that it could be expected. Dies said there are more than 250,000 alien agents in the United States and more than 5,000 in defense industrial plants in the Detroit area alone. Meanwhile members of the same committee declared they have proof that Friedhelm Draeger, German consul in New York, 'has for six years been the actual head of the National Socialist party in the United States. They said the German diplomat has been under observation for a long time and is head of a vast ring of espionage, sabotage and propaganda.
