LONDON, Aug. 12 — (UP) —
Very large formations of Amer-
ican Flying Fortresses smashed
deep into Germany today, one
aerial armada penetrating the
very heart of a heavily defend-
ed area, in what perhaps was
the greatest effort of (lie Eighth
United States air force.
A German broadcast said a
target of the American raiders
was Bonn, famous Rhineland
University town, rail hub and
industrial center 15 miles south-
east of Cologne.
''apt. (lark (.'able, former
movie .-tar, had a ringside
scat as an observ-'" alxnrd a
Hying Foilrtss. Ilis ship
encountered no (rouble, lint
many el tiers were not so
lortunate.
Hundreds of American, Brit-
ish. Dominion and Allied fight-
ers escorted the outgoing fort-
resses and met them for the last
lap of the return trip. It was
the first time this mont.i that
the United States heavyweights
had been on the warpath. *
The American communique
announcing the raid said only
that industrial targets in Ger-
many were attacked. It was the
first attack by the fourengined
bombers since they hit an air-
craft plant at Kassel July :$(>.
(iriiiiun fighter planes 'it-
lacked (lie American forma-
tions constantly all the way
from the Norlli Sea coast to
Bonn and back ap.uin, a Ger-
man l>NB broadcast said,
"Considerable losses" were
ii flicted oil the big bombers,
il t-aid.
Bombs were said to have been
dropped in the center of Bonn,
famed as the birthplace of the
composer, Ludwig Van Beethov-
en.
The American daylight raid
followed a night attack by Brit-
ish Mosquito bombers on Ger-
many's industrial Ruhr and
Rhineland. German planes
struck back at England during
the nigh', with stronger forces—
a total of 35 planes—than they
have sent against this country
in several months. Two towns,
one in Southern England and
the o'.her in Southwestern Eng-
land, bore the brunt of the at-
tack.
A German communique re-
ported that single enemy planes
caused slight damage in nuis-
ance raids on Western Germany
last night.
Marie Corridon, foreground, and Catherine Wernert, losers in jun-
ior national long distance individual championship race in Clemon-
ton Lake, Pa., toss winner into drink. Dunkce is Florence Schmitt,
whose time for two-and-a-half miles was 1 hour, 11 minutes and
39.5 seconds. All three represented Women's Swimming Associa-
tion of New York.

Before leaving for Hollywood and a probable movie career, pretty
El.sie Roberts, National Bond Queen and University of Houston coed,

tvnical Texas costume, Elsie gathered together all the milk, carbo-
nated beverage, and beer bottles in her home, loaded them into the
conveyance labeled "official bottle buggy" and drove to her beverage
dealer. "Keeping deposit bottles working is not onlra patriotic duty.
Miss Roberts said, "but I'll get my deposits back which can be invested
in War Stamps."
