LONDON, Aug. 26. (UP)—
Allied fighter planes raced across
the Dover strait through thunder-

sweep toward Calais and Boul-
ogne, on the French occupied
coast.
It was believed that the planes
were attacking inland targets.
An Air Ministry communique
said that single bombers on armed
reconaissance attacked targets in
western Germany and Holland by
daylight yesterday and coastal
command planes continued attacks
on enemy shipping last night.
Twp ships in a convoy off the
Frisian islands in the North Sea
were hit, the Ministry said.

on the French occupied coast also
were bombed.

BY UNITED PRESS
A sudden splurge of Axis pro-
paganda interest in Dakar today
aroused suspicion that Germany
may be taking the first moves in
a campaign to bring the vital
West African base under Nazi
control.
Both the Berlin and Rome ra-
dios broadcast a series of rumors
that American or allied action
against Daker is imminent. Other
propaganda dispatches claimed
that an invasion of Tunisia or a
move against French Guiana is
in prospect.
The propaganda drive was key-
ed to Brazil’s entry into the war
and Axis sources repeatedly not-
ed that Dakar lies only 1,715 sea
miles across the South Atlantic
from the Brazilian bulge.
The first feelers came from
Germany Tuesday, with the Da-
kar action "report.” The United
Press reported from Vichy today
that such rumors had been cur-
rent for 24 hours, but authorized
Vichy sources said that "we have
absolutely no knowledge here of
any such attack,” adding that
weather in West Africa is un-
favorable at present.”
Italian feelers took the form of
suggestions that the allied sec-
ond front would be established in
West Africa, possibly in Tunisia.
The Rome correspondent of the
Swiss Newspaper Tribune De-
geneve said "unimpeachable” in-
formation had reached high Ital-
ian circles that the United Na-
tions "are massing war units and
numerous transports at Gibraltar
in West African waters.”
Mrs. Sydney

Mrs. Sydney L. Ramsey, wife of
a former Rus’; county judge, died
this morning in a Shreveport hos-
pital following an illness of sev-
eral months.

ferred to Shreveport last Friday
when her condition became worse.
Funeral services are to be held

Hill, minister of the First Pres-
byterian church in Tyler, will de-
liver the funeral sermon.

tion of A. Crim Funeral Home.
Mrs. Ramsey was a native of

tober 18, 1882, in Pleasant, Hill

derson, Mrs. Ramsey was active

man’s Auxiliary of the Presbyte-
rian church, and in the Henderson
Garden club.

MOSCOW, Aug. 26. (Up)—A
German battle force of 750,000
men, spearheaded by an estimated
26 armored divisions, was report-
ed today closing in on Stalingrad
from three directions despite
fierce Soviet resistance.
Soviet reports placed Nazi ad-

from Stalingrad due west of the
vital Volga river industrial and
communications center.
Front-line dispatches said the
Germans are approaching Stalin-

LONDON, Aug. 26. (UP) —
American ordnance production
has reached a scale sufficient to
support a full sized army in the
field in Europe, Brig. Gen. G. M.
Barnes, assistant chief of ord-
nance, United States Army, and
head of the design division of the
War Department, said today.
"The only problem now remains
the question of transport to get
the materials here,” Barnes said.
Barnes refuted suggestions of
German superiority in equipment,
for example its much vaunted 88-
millimeter (3.46-inch) guns.
"The United States has many
surprises,” he said.
“We do -ot admit any superi-
ority in German equipment—there
is no excepti to that.”
He said he had seen many
British "surprises” on production
centers and at secret demonstra-
tions.
"They are real eye-openers,”
he said.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26. (UP)
—CIO President Philip Murray
And AFL President William Green
discussed wage stabilisation with
President Roosevelt but, they said
afterward, “reached no ’ conclus-
ions.”
The labor leaders said they
would return to the White House
next Thursday for another con-
ference with the President at
which, Green said, “we will see
if we have arrived at any con-
clusions.”
The two men said Mr. Roosevelt
told them that he would make
a radio address to the country,
probably on Labor Day, on the
subject of living costs. He did
not, however, discuss any specific
plans for wage stabilisation.
White House Secretary Stephen
T. Early had announced earlier
that the President’s speech prob-
ably would be on Labor Daz,
Green said that there was no
discussion with the President
about labor representation on the
War Production Board.
France said today that allied
planes had knocked out the port
of Le Havre, in peace time the
third ranking port in France, that
allied troops, planes and war-
ships had inflicted heavy damage

LONDON, Aug. 26. (UP)— Bri-

weeks of mourning today for the
Duke of Kent, King* George’s
youngest brother who was killed
with 15 others in an airplane crash
yesterday
The giant Sunderland flying boat

land crashed in desolate country
in Northern Scotland only 60 miles
from its take-off, it was under-

The London Evening News said
the hill against which the big fly-
ing boat crashed was extremely
rugged. The scene was two miles
from a hamlet. David Morrison, a
farmer and his son, Hugh, were
searching the moors for lost sheep
when they heard the plane crash
about 2:30 p. m
The son rode into the village and
notified police, who immediately
ordered a search The flames and
smoke of the burning wreckage
guided the men to the spot. Some
of the 16 bodies still were in the
wrecked cabin Others were scat-
tered over the hillside. Military
police today cordoned off the area.
With the Duke died his private
