Still, to recapitulate, the Connecti- p ut Republican solon's story was this: ii The government had printed a I onsiderable number of sheets of a ii ertain postage stamp, but. upon ex- j unination. it was discovered that hey were imperfect."

Germans Aim To Wipe Out British City Ten Thousand Plane loads of Bombs Daily Will Be Unleashed on London, Nazi Quarters Declare; Raids to Start Soon. Wv The Associated Press.) Nazi quarters in Berlin assert ed today that Ion thousand planeloads of bombs daily will be unleashed on the London area in the next few days, striking from French coastal bases in a titaitio "all out" assault. A host of 2.500 Gormui war planes making four trips daily will carrv out the threatened full scale blitzkrieg, they declared, apparently aimed at wiping out the 2,000-year old British capital with :!s 8.000.(100 inhabitants. "T wouldn't give a farthing for the houses of parliament" said a German closely connected with Reichm;.i\shal Geering. The informant said Goering had ; "left open" the question of whether troop landings would be attempted, declaring: "It all depends on how weii the British fight back. "It is conceivable that England will collapse under the weight of our air attacks. Then invasion will be 1 unnecessary. But we are prepared either way." This unofficial renort, if true, | would indicate that the next two or ! three days may see a decisive turn j in the year-old European conflict. The informant asserted that the i great waves of nazi bombers were J scheduled to start the assault cither late today or tomorrow. Waves of Britaish dive bombers gave Berlin's 4.000.000 residents a taste of terror from the skies today, knifing through a fierce anti-aircraft barrage to rain explosives on Hitler's reichstag, the Potsdam railway sta i tion. the Brandenburg Gate, and the ; famous Untcr den Linden—Berlin's Filth Avenue. ! ' One unexploded bomb was be | licvcd to have dropped barely a yard from the home of Propaganda Min ister Goebbles. Hitler's high command admitted that a number of streets in the capi ! tal "had to be evacuated tem porarily" this morning "because of the danger of houses collapsing". Bomb splinters slightly damaged | the United States embassy adjoining Goebbles' r< sidence. j The air raiders, striking before dawn in the most spectacular raid yet, took a reported toll of five kill ed. many wounded and apparently heavy damage. The raid lasted two i hours. Other squadrons of the royal air fo.ee bombed German-occupied Bel gium.
