was blamed by British source*
today for the sinking of this un-
armed American ship Steel Sea-
farer in the Red sea, supply route

Washington the conviction grew |
that the episode would result in
forceful declaration of the

In Berlin,
"Our boys just ran into tough
opposition. They were hopped
on by a hell of a lot of enemy
planes. Pilots on the sweeps re-
ported Messerschmitts . litcrUlly
were swarming over France. One
said he sighted at least a hun-
dred."
Tobin, big and red - haired, was
reported .to. have been the iinst
flier from the United States to
shoot down a German, plane over
Britai^.
Tobin, with three other United
States youths, headed for Europe
