British Claim
Air Offensive
Unparalleled
By SIDNEY J W1LUAMS
United Proas Staff
LONDON,' April 25—(UP)—
Royal Air Force fighter planes,
flying high. racod down the
Thames estuary in great force at
noon today for a sweep over
France after a big scale attack by
great four-motored bombing
planes for tbe second straight
night on Rostock. German mar
factory center and important Bal-
tic port.
Earlier, coastal watchers had
heard the German guns firing in
the Cape Gris Net area and in-
land. and had seen British fight-
ers flying heck to base after a
morning attack on enemy bases
Then they heard the roaring
motors of a big force of fighters,
so high they- could not be seen,
passing the Dover coast south of
the entrance to the Thames, bead-
ing for Calais. There was a ter-
rific buret of gun fire from the
French side within a few minute*.
The firing continued for 20 min-
ute*, and then the British plane*
began to dart back.
Breaking AH Broords
Official report* loft no doubt
that In what was again becoming
a 24-hour-a-day offensive, tbe
Royal Air Force wee breaking all
records net only for British but
for German raids.
The fighters which roared
down the Thames today were re-
versing the course which tbe
planes of the Hitlerian air force
bad followed during u»e battle of
Britain, at the peak of the Ger-
man air power.
The great planes which had at-
tacked Rostock for the second
straight night a few hours oarlior
were dumping bomb loads of
greater weight than Oeraan fleets
had ovor dropped on British
towns.
In their Rostock attack the
RAF planes again centered on the
vast Heinkel aircraft works.
The raid was mode in excellent
bombing weather and it was be-
lieved that it might prove as heavy
as that of the night before, when
big areas of Rostech were devas-
tated by the greatest
bombing to aviation history

FINISH FIGHT AT PENN RELAYS
SLATED BETWEEN INDIANA, NYU
PHILADELPHIA. April 25 (UP)
—Indiana University—sporting tho
greatest Hoosler track team since
the golden days of "Iron Man" Don
Lash—goes out on Franklin Fioid’s
sun-baked cinder lanes today for a
finish fight against New York Uni-
Hiiversum, Netherlands; Bremen
and Berlin went off the air sud-
denly early today when British
plane fleets entered their gener-
al areas.
Ia the attack on Roatock Thurs-
day night, British planes dropped
ln their target area the greatest
weight of high explosive bombs
ever crowded into a single hour.
At the height of their attacks on
Britain. It was asserted officially,
the Germans never dropped such
a bomb weight on any city.
Biggest Offensive
Yesterday's fighter - bomber
sweep over Flushing. Holland, was
the tingle biggest offensive of the
war. and up to 000 fighter planet
had taken part in s^me earlier
at Paris,
Further. British plane losses re-
mained astonishing low consider-
ing tho seal# of the attacks. Only
four bombers were lost in Thurs-
day ni#it's raid on Roetoek; nine
British fighters, against five Ger-
man planes, were lost in yester-
day s daylight sweeps.
It was understood that a great
German submarine assembly de-
pot was onq of the chief objec-
tives in the attack on Flushing
yesterday.
Authoritative informant* said
the Royal Air Force was still pur-
suing its policy of concentre ting
attacks on military important tar-
gets instead of attacking civilian
areas indiscriminately, on the
German-J apanes* patterns, as a
means of spreading terror.
It was believed, however, that
Rostock, as constituting in its en-
tirety not only an airplane manu-
facturing center but a most impor-
tant base for sending men and
munitions to tbe Russian front,
had been attacked mercilessly.
"We've luebecked Rostock." one
of the pilbts who took part to
Thursday night s raid said on his
return.
The Air Ministry had Just re-
leased official pictures which
showed that in the recent attack
on Luebock. #0 miles west of Ro-
atoew. British bombs had wiped
out complete city areas.
One of tho Rostock bombers
came back badly damaged. Tbe
captain ordered all but two mem-
bers of his crew to parachute as
soon as It crossed the English
coast, and then he landed it One
of the men who parachuted went
to a farmer s house to telephone
to hla boas.
"What do I owe you*" he asked
tbe farmer as a feature.
‘Two pence." tbe fanner re-
plied. bolding out his hand.
"I though then I'd bettor make
a real gesture.” tbe parachutist
told his commander. "1 gave him
two shillings."
U. B. Bembers Return Safely
A United Press Stockholm dis-
patch said one plane crashed and
ourned in southern Denmark near
Germany but that three of its
crew parachuted safely.
Spitfire fighters escorted a
small force ef American made
Boston bombers in yesterdays
Flushing attack, and all the bomb-
ers got home. Fighter pilots said
they saw great explosions in the
target area and saw direct hits on
docks, shipyards and Mg Mocks
of buildings.
The Air Ministry said to a com-
munique thkt no English city had
suffered so much in a tingle Ger-
man attack as Luebeek did in tha
Royal Air Force raid March 2$.
