Bombers Brought Down British anti-aircraft guns were credited with shooting down a German bomber in the night, mak ing a total of 73 German night raiders destroyed over England thus far in May only 14 less than in the entire month of April. The sharp increase might be due to bright moonlit nights bringing greater numbers of Ger man planes to shoot at, or im proved accuracy on the part of RAF defense fighters. A British commentator observed, however, that "the boys are getting better at interception." It was another bad night for British cities. Liverpool suffered its seventh straight assault after dark, and a British communique noted tersely that "reports so far indicate casualties will be heavy." Besides the Merseyside dock area of Liverpool, the nazis scat tered their bombs over Hull, i Hartlepool and the Bristol chan nel sector. In the 7-day-old strife in Iraq, British Middle East headquarters said the situation was quiet both at the British airdrome at Hab baniyah, 60 miles west of Bagh dad, and at the port of Basra, on the Persian gulf. "Our captures include six guns and over 400 prisoners," a British communique said. Dorena Whiskerino Boosters Are Busy DORENA, May 8.
