‘Bumble Blitz

WASHINGTON, July 8.—First-hand reports of persons returning from England since the Germans’ robot bombing began have underwritten the speech of Prime Minister Churchill yesterday in wiping out any

tendency. there may have been in some quarters to

minimize the seriousness of this new form of assault. < The self-propelled bombs’ are accepted now as no mere fads or as gimply having nuisance value, but as devastating new weapons of war. Censorship regulations on dis-

‘been brought back here concern‘ing the robot bombs are exceedingly tight, but these first-hand reports are making it plain that the robot attacks have created a much nore serious problem in and near London than earlier reports indicated. Size of the bombs being used, the location of hits and the extent of damage is being withheld for the obvious. purpose of letting the Germans know as little as possible of a precise nature about the results of the bombings. -

Special Test for Morale

BUT THE nature of -the robot—its complete unpredictability as to time and place—makes it a special test for morale, returning officials have pointed out. During the blitz of London in 1940, the people at least had the knowledge that it had to be limited as to time—it might go 8 or 10 hours or even around the clock, but it could not go on indefinitely, But the

They Have Me Sign Letters Home

ON MY SECOND day with the battery the boys asked their officers if it was all right for them to write in their letters that I was staying with them. The officers said yes, so the boys all got out paper, and since it had turned warm for a change we sat and lay around on the grass while they wrote short letters home, using ammunition and ration boxes for writing boards. When they got through all of them had me sign their letters. The boys say they didn't choose ack-ack but were just automatically put into it. They do like it, however, as long as they have to be in the army. They are all over being gun-shy, and now that they have been through-their opening weeks of war they aren't even especially afraid.

A man on one of the lower floors stuck his head out of the window, apparently to see if it was raining. A minute or two later, the chambermaid tossed another bucketful or pitcherful of water out the window. This time she leaned out and looked down, evidently wondering belatedly who was getting doused. Never a dull moment! . . , The employment security division newsletter reports a curious incident that occurred to baffle one of the division employees. It was during a rainfall several weeks ago (seems months) and Kathryn Orcutt decided to see whether it still was raininv. “She stuck her hand out ithe window, palm up, in the building at 141 S. Meridian. As she did so, something fell in her hand. She was startled, but held on. Inspection revealed she had caught a card of 12 fancy buttons. She stuck her hand out again, but no more buttons landed in it.

COL. GUY A. BOYLE does quite 4 bit of traveling over the country in his capacity as commander in chief of the United Spanish War Veterans. Recently he had occasion to be in Dallas, Tex. The colonel, who makes a most distinguished appearance with his white hair and mustache, put on a spiffy white suit in his hotel, and then made a dash for an elevator. An army captain who appeared to have had a few too many drinks had boarded the elevator just ahead.

The captain turned, and seeing Col. Boyle, said flippantly: “Come on in, Mark Twain.” The colonel; bowed, and emtered the elevator. Just then the cap- | tain noticed the ribbon denoting the Purple Heart in | Mr. Boyle's lapel. “Sorry, sir,” he said. “I didn't see the Purple Heart.” And he sobered immediately. Col. Boyle got kick out of the incident.

robot bombs have been pounding down steadily, 100 to 150 a day, and in the opinion of some returning from England this mumber may be greatly increased after the Germans have themselves learned more about handling them. Some of those returning have! suggested that the attacks so far have been experi-| mentation and that the | first period may now be con-| sidered over.

Second-Choice Weapon

ONE OF the few comments made here concerning the robots came from Gen. Henry H. Arnold, army air forces chief, who recalled that during the last war he had worked with Charles F. Kettering and other scientists on a pilotless aircraft that could be controlled for a distance of 100 miles, But in the-years following the war, he said, the decision had been in favor of regular bombing aircraft, with which greater accuracy could be obtained, He suggested that the robots would be a second-choice weapon, and that this was the case with the Germans. Witnesses of the robot bombings who have returned here have estimated that their speed is much greater. than the 200 miles an hour originally guessed” — perhaps 400 miles an hour, The difficulties of try to match them with fighter planes is obvious, though) some have been knocked out ih this way. "These witnesses also say they believe that at the first of the robot bombs sent over England os radio-directed, though subsequent robots are believed not to have been and they have been aimed generally, at the London area. Observers here have cited the extreme difficulty of| knocking out the rocket beds on the French coast.! These often’ may be small and from great bombing] heights present only a pin-point target.

Exit Into Southern Finland, May Be Only Choice if

Russ Roll On.

By NAT A. BARROWS Times Foreign Correspondent STOCKHOLM, new mile of advance by the Russian northern prong, on the eastern

front, brings the Gerinans desper-| § ately closer to the problem of how;

to evacuate their troops from KEs-

tonia, Latvia and Lithuania the Soviet army, utilizing its own improvements on Nazi blitzkrieg warfare, drives them into the Baltic

ie: northward by water into southern Finland may offer the only solution if the Russians in driving & wedge through the Baltic states. This avenue of escape may actually have been the motivating factor of the German move into Finland for what amounts to virtual occupation, Insures a Haven Military control of Finland, even though the collaborationist government retains surface authority, thus would insure. the entrapped German Baltic armies of a temporary haven and a potential open. door .into northern Norway through Arctic Finland. Many careful observers here see this Finnish open-door theory as an important ‘point both in trying to understand recent Nazi activities in Finland and in attempting to predict what lies immediately ahead on the northern sector of the” eastern front, Germany of course, had to use every trick in the bag to prevent the Pinns from getting out of the war with Russia. The impact upon the other satellite countries and upon Nazi prestige ‘demanded that. But evacuation of the Baltic troops appears to have played its part in the Finnish coup. It is known that German naval ships, in strength, are now hovering about the mouth of the Gulf of Finland, as if waiting to cover

transport barges trying to ferry

troops from the Baltic. .See Islands’ Seizure

If such evacuation northward does materialize, the Aaland islands off the coast of Sweden might be taken over by the Nazis to give added protection to Swedish iron ore traffic bound for Germany. Every bit of evidence here points

: to the probability that the ‘Germans

entrenched in northern Finland will cling there tenaciously, even in face of a direct Russian offensive against them. Reverses on the eastern front make Finnish nickel, cobalt and

‘other Arctic minerals more valuable

than ever for Germany's hardpressed war furnaces and the Al- | bert Speers’ production ministry is undoubtedly exerting all its powerful influence to keep these mines

The captain straightened up | in Nazi control until the last pos-!

sible minute, The mysterious death of Gen. Eduard Dietl (commander of German troops in Finland) conceivably may have been more than an accident. He had been advocating a policy of retrenchment before it was; too late and he is known to have! ‘expressed himself bluntly to Hitler.

Sweden Is Anxious

Sweden is naturally anxious about what ‘will happen if the Baltic armies do seek to escape through Finland. The possibility of Ger-man-Russian battles somehow overlapping into northern Sweden is by no means remote. At the moment,

however, the

Swedes are more imunediately: con-

cerned with the potentialities of the increasing Finnish civilian evacuation. As the Russian advance on the Karelin front continues its tempo, the number of refugees mounts. Before it is over, Sweden may find itself harboring a million or even more Finnish refugees.
