. command made further raids on oil and fuel depots in Belgium.” In France, the Ministry said, British fighting planes maintained offensive patrols continually. In England, picked marksmen of . the “Parashoot Corps” stood by with rifles’ and machine guns to guard against an expected blitzkrieg - invasion attempt after the: German coastal raid. < . The Air Ministry also announced in another statement that British coastal command planes bombed -and machine-gunned oil tanks at the German-occupied Belgian city of - Ghent. : The attack was made early today. “Direct hits with heavy bombs were made on several tanks,” the statement said regarding Ghent. “Blazing oil could be seen for many miles. The flames were 60 bright that one pilot, evading searchlights, was able to climb to 8000 feet and still see his target - plainly. “He dropped another salvo, startmore fires and then dived toward thé tanks again. When only 400 feet up he opened fire with his front guns. His rear gunner took up: the fire as they passed over the

| target.

“He saw tracer bullets setting the — oil ablaze.” Authorities expressed belief that the German planes had sought to knock out Royal Air Force airdromes. There was no indication that serious damage had been done and casualty reports listed only six persons ‘slightly - wounded, but it was expected that more and more de- _. termined raids would-come.

‘There may be nothing new under the sun but the watchmaster which the Rost Jewelry Co. is now using is at least a little bit different. Built much after the pattern of the modern radio, the watchmaster with the flick of a switch can pass accurate judgment on the condition of a watch and diagnose many of the common ailments which afflict the pocket and wrist timepiece. The ailing watch is clamped to an amplifier, and a drum on which a record chart is placed revolves 18,000 times an hour—the heart beat of the modern watch.

Throughout {he night, . picked French: troops, newly trained in counter-blitzkrieg - technique d operating from secret strong points hidden in forests, quarries and marshes, had gone out to attack German tanks. Gen. Maxime Weygand, Allied Generalissimo, who for two weeks had been preparing the French {ine for this assault, gave his view of the general situation this morning through the War Office with his accustomed terseness: ‘““The situation is good enough. The battle is progressing according to the scenario we expected. The enemy has not yet aligned all its forces.” :

New Assaults Expected

This meant that Weygand saw the battle as in its opening phase only, and expected Adolf Hitler, gambling with the lives of his men for a quick victory, to throw new and even stronger forces: into the biggest battle since the World War, Throughout the night, field guns

and rear communications without a letup, and Allied and German airplanes—the Allied forces now nearly equal to that of the Germans, it was asserted, rained bombs on bridges, roads, tank columns and infantry concentrations along the

“entire front.

French air force men said they had succeeded in tying up the German movéments seriously. Savage fighting, a wierd modern development of Indian fighting of Colonial days in the United States, was. reported between French specialized units and infiltrating German tanks. It was asserted that in the Amiens sector alone the French had destroyed 100 tanks during the night—

Emerging silently from their strong points at ddrk, the French moved up to the tanks. Blinded by the darkness, and needing air, the Germans had to open apertures of their tanks.

Kill Crews With Grenades

The French moved -up to them and, throwing hand grenades into them, killed the crews. Others were knocked out by the famous French 75s which were taken to the front in the darkness. It was disclosed also that at some points, in pursuit of the carefully worked out strategical and tactical plans of Weygand, the French had executed a fierce counter-attack in the Peronne sector and had seized a valuable bridgehead on the German side of the Somme. During the night, French and

rear of the Somme front, and their bombing planes raided deep into central Germany, raining bombs on war factories, railroads and fuel tanks in half a dozen industrial cities, it was asserted. It was asserted that there was now a greater approach to air equality because German airplane losses were estimated at at least 2000 planes in the last three week.

“A few days after’ the “Trotsky shooting, Miss Goddard and Miss Bohus were in my studio,” he said. “Outside they saw two cars full of men.
