British Air Raids Seek to Cripple U-Boat Campaign 1750-Mile Smash at Dan zig Reveals Nazi Air Weakness LONDON, July 13 UP) The new potency of Britain's nir campaign to drive the U-boat from the sens by smashing Germany's replacements before she can get them into the is the story behind the RAF's sensational daylight raid on Danzig Saturday. That neither daylight, distance nor foul weather deterred squadrons British bombers from sweeping low over Germany on a roundtrip in daylight, showed that the Nazis are exposed now to mighty air assault anywhere and at any time. The test of the Danzig raid Is comparison with the dramatic daylight air attack on the German submarine plant at Augsburg just last April.

Only 12 planes made that stab, only about half as far from home as the former free city, and only five returned. The attack on Danzig cost but three planes and unofficial indications that this was less than five percent of the attacking force meant that at least 60 bombers made it. On this longest and riskiest daylight operation by the RAF so far, the British sent out their Lan- four-motored bombers which are the newest and highly secret bomb-carriers in their air fleet, For hours these tough planes flew over Germany's heavily guarded coast' before they sliced down to lay their heavy bombs on Danzig's submarine yards in the bright light on the northern evening. Other bombers raided another U-boat base, Flensburg, on the German-Danish border 400 miles nearer England than Danzig. Flying farther than to Danzig, RAF planes could reach almost any city in Germany, strike into Poland almost to Warsaw, Into Italy almost to Rome and hit targets in western Slovakia, Hungary or Yugoslavia.

'four have from the country's scrap rubber drive." Simpson, in a statement released yesterday said: "The four companies which have been appointed as the sole rubber reserve 'agents' are H.

Meuhlslein and Company, A. Schulman, Nat E. Berzen, and thfe Loewenthal Company. AH four have branches extending from coast to coast, and all four are due to obtain tremendous profits from this deal." The Rubber Reserve Corporation is a government subsidiary of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. "The latest wrinkle in war-profiteering is in scrap rubber," Simpson said, "with four so-called agents' of the rubber reserve pocketing gigantic profits at the expense of the millions of Americans who patriotically cooperated" the President's rubber drive.

Simpson said the four companies le named "are being granted 'commissions' of $1.50 on every ton of scrap rubber which Is collected for he rubber reserve, whether or not hey were instrumental in collect- ng the scrap. On lop of that, they are paid a considerable sum for orting the scrap once it's in their verehouses. But the greatest bon- inzn of all will come after the crap is sorted, after such items as repe soles worth a ton separated from run-of-the-mill At. Akron, M. A.

Goldberg, local representative of the Lowenthnl Chicago, denied the charge of "enormous profits" for his and three other firms under agreements connected with the scrap rubber drive. "We are operating as a government agency under supervision of the Rubber Reserve said Goldberg. "On July 18 we will close our books and operate strictly under' government license." A. Schulman, president of the firm hearing his name, which also was mentioned by Simpson, said "there's no use making any comment. All this rubber belongs to the government.
