rope had now become the greatest aerial bombing campaign in all history, By noon, heavy explosions from the war industry centers inland from Boulogne on the French coast were shaking the Dover coast of England, and watchers saw great fleets of British planes returning from daylight attacks.

Heavy Raids Continue

Fighter, bomber and coastal command planes made heavy night raids over German airdromes in France, Belgium and Holland, bombed docks at Dunkirk, set fire to an enemy supply ship off the Danish coast and laid mines in enemy waters. Four German planes were shot down. Enraged over the attack, the Germans attacked Bath, mineral springs resort town in southwestern England, for the second straight night and late reports said there were numerous casualties when a bomb hit a shelter. Several flres were started.

Pacifie Air War Spreads The air war also spread over wider areas of the Pacific, extending eastward to New Caledonia— lying astride the U. S. supply lines to New Zealand and Australia—as

- Pierre Laval's regime ‘protested to

Washington against the occupation of the island by American forces. American warplanes, based on . New Caledonia, were revealed to have gone into action against Japanese planes attempting to carry out reconnaisance flights, perhaps to obtain photographs in a prelude to an attempted seaborne invasion: On Australia’s northern flank, meanwhile, U. S. and Australian planes struck new heavy blows at two more Japanese invasion bases —Lae on the Huron gulf of New Guinea and Bougrinville in the Solomon istands—and beat off another Japanese attack ©n Port Moresby, New Guinea. Over the week-end the R, R. F. carried its assaults across Germany to Czechoslovakia to attack the huge Skoda works at Pilsen. This is the second biggest arms plant in Europe. :

Attacks Skoda Works

The attack on the Skoda works, aside from its destructiveness, was a message of encouragement to the anti-Nazi Ozechs. These Czechs, part of Hitler's slave labor, have been reported to be sabotaging production in-the Skoda works, slowing down the rate of production and ruining guns and ammunition.

attacks on Leningrad after a 20day lull, but a Soviet communique said the aerial assault had been broken with 65 of 135 raiders shot down in two days. ; In the Mediterranean area, British planes again attacked the axis air base at Catania on the island of Sicily, Rome admitted, while Axis planes bombed hospitals on beleaguered Malta for the fourth time in two days, causing heavy civil jan casualties. ’ Five axis planes were destroyed in the latest attack on Malta, which has been bombed more than 2200 times by an estimated total of 11,000 enemy aircraft. The British admiralty ‘announced that British submarines in the Mediterranean have sunk four more axis supply ships, evidently part of convoys en route to supply Marshall Erwin Rommel’s axis armored forces in the Libyan desert. The loss of the 904-ton British destroyer Southwold was acknowledged.

Vichy Protests Landing

Japanese planes attempting to reconnoiter over New Caledonia wheré they were driven off by American planes were long-range seaplanes, apparently based at heavily-bombed Rabaul on New Britain island and using the Jap-anese-sized bases in the Solomons for refuelling. Simultaneous with the disclosure of the air fighting over New Caledonia the. Vichy government announced that Gaston Henry Haye, its ambassador to Washington, had been ordered to protest against U. S. occupation of the island—at the invitation of the Free French. Heavy damage was believed ta have been inflicted in the latest allied air attacks on Japan’s bases off Australia. Four enemy planes were said officially to have been destroyed at Lae. .

STEP UP RAIDS ON LENINGRAD

KUIBYSHEYV, Russia, April 27 (U, P.) —Russian ground and air defenses shot down 35, of 165 planes which attacked Leningrad in a twoday mass raid, breaking a 20-day lull, a Soviet communique said today. : Three more enemy planes were damaged so badly by the Russian fighter planes and anti-aircraft batteries that they made forced landings in German-occupied territory, it said. : Although Germany apparently was stepping up her raids on Leningrad, dive-bombing was waning on the southwestern front, the army newspaper, Red Star said. The newspaper said Russia's ground defenses and the large number of inexperienced pilots Germany had been forced to send into action, was causing the enemy to abandon dive-bombing tactics. A Russian warship operating in the Barents sea, north of Scandinavia, reported sinking a German submarine. The Barents sea is a vital passage on the British-Amer-ican supply line to Murmansk. The Germans were reported to be suffering heavy losses in manpower and equipinent on the central front

GRAND JURY T0 INVESTIGATE

(Continued from Page One)

obtained the signatures of Reginald H. Sullivan, Leo Welch, Francis J. Early, J. J. Liddy and Ross J. Moore. Two months ago, a deputy clerk found a criminal court judgment record book out of place. He examined it, found two pages had been cut out with a razor blade, or some other very sharp implement. The clerk called it to Mr. Ettinger’s attention.

Agreed to Lock Up Records

Mr. Eitinger -promptly went to Judge Myers. Together they examined the books stored in the criminal court room. They discovered that the rautilation was of a single page concerning affivadit No. 62478 filed in criminal court Nov. 16, 1927 (when James A. Collins was judge) and the finding of guilty on Dec. 14, 1927. The other page cut out was the index page of this same order book, showing the page number of the case. This index page contained Mr. Sullivan's name along with 249 other names. However, a corresponding page was found to be intact in the judgment docket records and Judge Myers and 1..r. Ettinger agreed that these records and the multiated book should be placed in a safe. Conviction for wilful mutilation of court records provides for fines and prison sentence.

“Same Man,” Says Capt. Cline

The warrant for Mr. Sullivan on the petit larceny charge was in connection with the theft of a carton of chewing gum from the freight house of the New York Centra! Railroad at Delaware and South sts. The warrant was sworn out by Capt. Edwin Cline, of the NYC police department. “Yes, I remember the case distinctly,” said Capt. Cline today. “It was the same Tom Sullivan who is the present candidate for sheriff. He was charged with stealing a carton of chewing gum valued at $70. The chewing gum was found in a truck he was driving. We could have charged grand larceny instead of petit Jarceny, but we did not do so as we wished io have the case disposed of in city court. The case never came up in city court, but went: to criminal court on a capias. «Judge Collins told me that Jerry Liddy brought Tom Sullivan into court and that he was offering him employment and that Tom would work for him. Therefore, the finding of the court was to suspend the term.” .

dividual incomes to keep them at sub-inflation levels but asked that profits he kept “at a low level.”

In order to achieve his proposed top of $25,000 a year on individual incomes, it would be necessary for congress to place special confiscatory taxes on income exceeding that amount. The $25,000 figure suggested by Mr. Roosevelt would be the amount left over after the payment of all taxes. This unprecedented proposal already has been talked over in congress by opponents as well as supporters of the president. But there is certain to be much dispute over it. The British government has placed a $26,000 a year ceiling on British individual incomes.

In regard to corporate income,

the president is known to have discussed with his congressional advisers recently proposals to place as much as a 99 per cent levy on corporate profits of more than 6 per cent of invested capital. As a final point in his program, Mr. Roosevelt said that additional regulations would be prepared to “discourage credit and installment buying.” Installment buying already has been hit hard by previous regulations and there is some consideration ‘being given to proposal: to curb open charge accounts at stores and reduce the time of repayments on installment purchases. Mr. Roosevelt told congress that the national economy must not be permitted to be crippled as it was in the wake of World War I.
