'Nazi Invasion Bases Ripped And Saarbrucken Pounded
7 Enemy Planes
Shot Down While
#0n Revenue Raids
England's Rig- New Guns
^ End Germans, Dive
Bombing' Tactics
LONDON, July 30—(UP) —
The Royal Air Force today fol-
lowed up a strong night bomb-
ing of Germany's Saarbrucken
coal and industrial center with
a daylight attack that ripped the
Calais-Boulogne spearhead of the
Nazi invasion coast with thun-
derous explosions.
The blasts of bursting bombs
and gunfire around Calais and
Boulogne shook houses on Eng-
land's Dover coast for a half
hour, after which the British
^raiders swept back across the
Straits to their bases.
Thg night attack on Saarbruck-
en ny long-range British bomb-
ers was the RAF's third major
raid in four moonlit nights.
£ As they rained tens ot
thousands of incendiary
bombs and hundreds of big
high explosive bombs on
eoal pils, iron, steel and en-
gineering works of Saar-
£ brucken, Britain's niglit
fighter planes and the new-
secret British anti-aircraft
gun broke up enemy raids
on the English midlands and
down.ed at least seven big
0 bombing planes of a small
fleet.
The air ministry said a strong
force of planes, which meant a
fleet running well into three
figures, engaged in last nights
9 raid, and that they made a hea-
vy concentrated attack on Saar-
brucken as the main objective.
"Preliminary reports indicate
that much damage was done."
an air ministry communique
9 said.
Official admission that nine
planes were missing indicated
that the raid, though heavy, was
of second rank in the new
scourge offensive of the RAF.
# Pilots reported that they met
almos'c no opposition, and it was
believed that losses were grey-
ly under the average of less than
5 per cent.
It was the second raid of the
a war on Saarbrucken and the
first major one. A small scale
raid was ma^le on Nov. 8, 1940.
Germany admitted that sever-
al cities in southwestern Ger-
many, including Saarbrucken,
^ en,j.ware attacked.
^ London's new anti-aircraft,
guns opened up twice early
this morning when German
planes dropped bombs in
the greater metropolitan
^ area.
^ Enemy planes bombed towns
and villages in the midlands,
and the northwestern and east-
ern sections.
A United Press eye-witness
^ said the big new guns kept the
darbage and casualties to a min-
imum and entirely prevented the
dive-bombing tactics which the
enemy planes had used Monday
night.
f Birmingham put up the great-
est barrage it had ever had, he
noted, as had Londoners when
"ihe big guns first opened here.
The German planes came in
close waves and dropped in-
£ cendiary bombs mainly, inter-
spersing them with explosives.

The central plant is located in
Pleasant Hill, Mo.
The Sweetwater plant would
supply all mail orders received
from Texas, New Mexico, Calif-
ornia and Arizona. The fact that
eight per cent of their busi-
ness now comes from Texas,
prompted the company officials
to seek a location in the south-
west.
Mr. Padgett expressed him-
self as well pleased with his
impressions of Sweetwater and
observed that poultrymen in
this area had a big economic
advantage, due to the milder cli-
mate over poultry raisers in the
more northern latitudes.
Mr. Booth is a former presid-
ent of the Missouri State Poul-
try experiment station and is a
recognized authority on poultry.
He stated that they do not com-
pete with local hatcheries and
had always felt that the> location
of one of their plants in an
area, helped the entire industry
in that particular community.

NEW YORK, July 30 —

German hermit, who had liv-
ed alone for three years in
the Maine woods, was picked
up by the FBT today after
he had spent a couple of
days on the New York wat-
er front inquiring anxious-
ly: "When does the next
boat leave for Germany."
It turned out that he had
learned only recently that
the United States and Ger-
many were at war. Then he
decided to return to Ger-
many and fight against the
United States.
His name was withheld,
but the FBI said he was 29
years old and came to this
country from Germany at
the age of 10. Two cousins
who accompanied him des-
erted the boy and went back
to Germany.
