Berlin, Kiel and Bases Attacked From Pare One and oil storage depots at Rotter dam were attacked, it was an nounced. During the hours of daylight yesterday two enemy supply ships were directly hit by bombs west of Helgoland. First indication that Berlin was under attack came when the main German radio station, Deutschland Sender, suddenly went off the air half an hour before midnight. German Attacks Light Details of the British assault on Berlin were eagerly awaited in London, where the Air Ministry was gathering an account of the attack from RAF pilots who par ticipated. The British night attacks on Kiel and other German naval bases in the northwestern area of the Reich was believed to have been a severe one a continuation of the previous night's blows during which tons of heavy bombs were dropped on naval and industrial targets there.

German night attacks on Britain were relatively light, compari son with some previous nights. Many incendiary bombs and some high explosives were dropped on one northeastern English town, however, and damage and casual ties resulted. This attack was short but intensive and a large number of German bombers par ticipated, drawing a terrific anti aircraft barrage. Other Nazi raiders were re ported over a town in northern Ireland. (A German announcement said the English town attacked during the night was Newcastle and claimed heavy damage had been inflicted there.) An Air Ministry communique said "Enemy activity was directed mainly against northeast England.

The attack was sharp but ended at midnight. Some damage and considerable casualties were caused but only a few were fatal. "Bombs were dropped on the east and northeast coasts of Scotland and on east and northeast England but caused no damage or casualties." International News Servict BERLIN, April 26. A single RAF night raider dropped some bombs on the Berlin area while German bombers hammered Brit ish east coast ports, causing heavy damage at Newcastle, German authorities announced today. The chief German night attack was concentrated against the great British Sunderland aircraft works where the huge British Sunderland flying boats are manufactured, an official announcement said.

The factory, it was claimed, was severely damaged by bombs dropped by successive waves of luftwaffe planes. Air raid alarms sounded Ber lin when a lone British raider attacked the German capital, dropping a number of bombs but "not causing notable damage, the an nouncement added. The Berlin alarm was of short duration. The communique said "weak RAF forces" during the night penetrated the north German coastal area and dropped high ex plosives and incendiaries on resi dential areas, "damaging some houses, including a medical clinic." Most of the bombs, however, fell on open fields or in the water offshore, the announcement said, adding that at no point was there any military damage. The communique stated that fierce anti-aircraft fire prevented the British planes from carrying out the attack according to plan.

Nearby was the body of her chow dog, which apparently died in a vain ef fort to protect his mistress. Mrs. Mocharnuk's body, bearing marks of a severe beating, was found by her 23-year-old son, Paul who said his mother had been missing from their home since Thursday. The son was detained as a material witness. Police Chief George Ormsby of Williamstown said Mrs.

Mocharnuk had been struck with a huge club and possibly attacked with an ax: although it could not be found. Position of the body indicated Ormsby said, that the woman had struggled with her assailant. An ax was missing from the Mocharnuk home, he said. The son told authorities he last saw his mother about noon Thurs day. When she did not return home he thought she was visiting her other children, Mrs.

Mary Flynn, Philadelphia; John, Chester, and Peter, Ivan, Pa. Mrs. Mocharnuk's husband, John, a baker, was at work when her body was discovered. Police believed that Mrs. Mocharnuk was slain within twenty-four hours of the fatal clubbing of Mrs.

The use of patrols rather than convoys was expected to ease some of the tension in Congressional circles, although some non-Interventionist leaders like Senator Gerald P. Nye, Republican, North Dakota, put patrols and convoys into the same category. Next week the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will act on the resolution of Senator Charles W. Tobey, Republican, New Hampshire, to outlaw the use of American warships to convoy foreign vessels.

Connally, describing the proposed legislation as "purely negative, predicted that it was "certain to be defeated." As the Administration "has an unques tioned majority. Calls for "Full Facts" Inter-related problems of United States convoys and British shipping losses continued to draw wide spread comment in the United States, Canada and Britain. Wendell L. Willkie, in a Pitts burgh interview, called upon the Administration to give the American people the "full facts" on the sinkings of war materials en route to Britain. He urged immediate steps to halt the destruction.

Lord Halifax, British ambassa dor, said in a speech in Atlanta last night, that the "battle of the Atlantic was the most vital of the war, and expressed hope that whatever the United States does to ease the situation, it would be done soon. In Canada, government officials commented on the proposed patrol system and Roosevelt's remarks on Greenland with the observation that Canada is working in close cooperation with the United States in regard to Greenland. Axis to Resist Aid to Britain By United Pre.w BERLIN. April 26. Germany Italy and Japan are all determined to resist President Roosevelt's aid-to-Britain policy and the President is provocatively "looking for danger far from the American coasts," the Boersen Zeitung will say to morrow in an apparently inspired article.

The Boersen Zeitung article fol lowed a statement by the Hambur ger Fremenblatt that Germany still stood by Adolf Hitler warn- ing that all ships going to Great Britain would be torpedoed. This warning also was emphasized in authorized sources. "The American President is seeking trouble," according to the Boersen Zeitung article. "He is looking for danger far from the American coasts. "He is seekincr incidents.

He wants to be provocative. "War is not coming to America but the President is running after war whoever goes into the operational areas (war zones) must know that shooting goes on there." The article said that Hitler warning regarding torpedoes had been directed primarily to the United States and "therefore it still holds good for every Amer ican merchantman. That is the German standpoint and it is like Italy standpoint. The newspaper said that a re cent article in the Japan limes warned the United States regard mg convoys.

Railroads Doing Good Job-Budd WASHINGTON. April 26. De fense Transportation Commissioner Ralph Budd said today that me largest traffic increase ever expen enced bv the Nation's railroads, i direct result of the multi-billion dollar rearmament program, is be ing handled promptly and satisfaC' torilj'. President of the Chicago. Burling' ton and Quincy Railroad.

Budd said in an interview that carriers plan to build and put into service this year approximately 100,000 new freight cars in anticipation of even greater expansion. This would compare with a rough average of 50,000 new cars annually during the past twelve years, he said. During 1941, railroads will nanoie little less than 80 per cent, oi the 1929 "peak year" traffic. Budd said. But although they will have fewer cars on hand than in 1929, he said, they will be able to handle larger loads per car because of faster trains, larger cars and otner factors.

The patrol was expected to ex tend at least as far toward Britain as the longitude of Greenland where the United States is moving to take action against any Ger man forces stationed there. Presi dent Roosevelt said yesterday that Axis forces may be in Greenland now although he is not certain, It was learned that the forces in question are a German survey and weather observation party that landed in Greenland about four months ago and were still there at the time the United States signed a pact to defend the island A similar party previously had set up a meteorological station in Greenland, but had been ejected by Danish authorities.

Sweeping Route Officials were unable to say whether the second party is in Greenland at the moment. But Roosevelt said plainly that if they are, the United States will coun teract them. He did not specify just what steps would be taken. A possible clue to the nature of this action was contained in the comment of Senator Tom Connally, Democrat. Texas, a ranking mem ber of the Senate Foreign Rela tions Committee, who said: "If Nazi military and naval forces should undertake to seize any part of Greenland, I'd be in favor of instructing the Navy to eject them.

I regard Greenland as a Dart of the Western Hemi sphere, which we are pledged to defend." Connallv and other Administra tion officials would not hazard an opinion on what repercussions such a move would produce, but some quarters pointed out that under the defense pact with Greenland, the United States could stand on legalistic erounds. The plan for cutting a swathe across the North Atlantic with a naval patrol is a refinement of a previously reported idea of operating the American "neutrality patrol" in 300-mile areas circum scribing the new bases in ureen land and Newfoundland. Under the new plan, vessels and aircraft in the North Atlantic pa trol would cover a sweeping route which nrobablv would take them a considerable distance across the Atlantic most likely points near where the British have encountered the largest depredations on their overseas supply hnes. U. S.
