Feb. 3. — (AP) —Fust, deaih-de:.Iiug British pursuit planes today shot down at lea^t two and per haps three German bombers which had resumed the Nazi air forces wide pre ad raiding of shipping off Britain's coast. One Nazi bomber was downed near a farm house after a battle with three B; itish fighters over a Yorkshire town. The air ministry announced that another raider was shot down off the mouth of the river Tyne. It reported that a third enemy "pr-my plane, intercepted by British lighters off the -Northumberland coast, "was very seriously damaged" and later unofficial reports said it had crashed into the sea. One of the crew of tiie plane shot down in Yorkshire was killed another died after ne and his two surviving comrades, ail wounded, had been taken to a hospital. The air ministry first reporter! that a Nazi bomber intercepted off the Yorkshire coast had been "shot down in thf sea," but later authoritative ad vices said the plane actually had been driven inland. No air raid alarm was sounded in the Yorkshire town where residents .stood in the streets watching the bat tie between the German and three British planes. A resident describing the battle off the Tyne said: "Our fighters came roaring ;if1er the bomber. Siioie batteries opened anti-aircraft fire. People went to tlie scafront to get a glimpse of the bat tle. The Nazi plane was shot down off shore."

On the face c»f the record, but with out any statement from Mr. Burgess to that el fee t, it is hard to see how the United Drys can put much faith in the Grady plank, in view of the Johnston mini's wobbly record on the subject. In the 19P.5 legislature he was re garded as a "Dry", but there an. strong indications that many Dry? think he was called from the Senate chamber to the wash room, or else where. on too many occasions when his voice and vote were needed. Hi' . ubsequcnt support of liquor store* in Johnston and his efforts to get one for his home town of Kenly did no endear him to the prohibitionists.
