UNIDENTIFIED PLANES
Paris, Nov. 8 (JP) Two uni
dentified planes were reported
by military sources today to
have been fired upon when they
dropped propaganda leaflets on
the Paris region in early morn
ing darkness yesterday.
The leaflets bore part of the
Oct. 31 speech by Soviet Russian
Premier Vyacheslaff Molotoff in
which he notified the world that
Russia was drawing closer to
Germany.
- It was not determined wheth
er the planes were German or
French machines flown by
French communists.
On the military front, the war
ministry reported "revis-al of ac
tivity on the part of contact
units," and "local artillery ac-
i tions."
Unofficial reports described
an aerial battle Monday as an
even greater French victory
than the government commun
ique Indicated at that time.
They said 13 Frenchmen, fly
ing American Curtlss planes,
battled 43 German planes in
three different engagements,
bringing down 12 or possibly 13
Germans without loss to them
selves. The communique had said
nine French planes downed nine
out of 27 Germans.
