WAR SECRETS TOLD AT LAST

- Many Operations.

LONDON. May 11 (U. P.).—Now it can be told: : _ “That when ‘American troops were . arriving at a “British port” it generilly was Belfast. That all American: Fortress and Liberator raids during the war were carried out from bases in East

Anglia centering roughly between |

Norwich and Cambridge. oh That Lt. Gen, James H, Doolittle’s

8th air forcé headquarters was lo- |S

cated all the time at a one-time| girls’ school at High Wycombe, northwest of London. That Doolittle repeatedly flew over the German lines during the war—including the ‘Normandy operations and the Rhine crossings. That the aged American battleghip Texas, New York and Arkansas at ‘one time regularly led convoy escorts from New York and Norfolk to Glasgow and Belfast. First Sea Action

That one American cruiser was damaged in the North sea in the summer of 1942 by a German plane attack, resulting in the first American naval action in the European theater. The action, but not the damage, was announced at the time. That in November, 1942, North | “Africa was invaded principally from the Firth of Clyde area at Glasgow That Dieppe was raided the same iyear primarily from the little English channel port of New Haven ‘with ‘most of the survivors returning the same way. Trap Was Set That British convoys never made the run from the west coast of Scotland around Norway to Russia unless covered by a separate cruiser force as a trap for the Germans— and this was the way the German battleship Scharnhorst was bagged. That the French battleship Richelieu operated for weeks with the British home fleet in "thé Arctic during the winter of 1943-44 and took part. in carrier raids on Norway. : | i
