U-Boats Call At Eire For Petrol Supplies
MR. JAMES LITTLE, M.P. for Co. Down, Northern Ireland, recently from Belfast challenged Mr. de Valera to prove that U-boats operating in the Atlantic off the west coast of Ireland were not being refuelled and re- victualled from Eireann ports.
He was emphatic that the U-boats openly sailed into quiet western Elreann ports, picked up petrol and oil, and even fresh vegetables.

Do Crystal Palace Towers Guide Nazis? RON
ARE the Crystal Palace towers responsible for the bomb. ing of the surrounding suburbs?
The people of South London believe that the two great towers, nearly 300 feet high and known as a landmark all over the world, are guiding the Nazi planes.
In the last war, according to a German commander's post- war reminiscences, the enemy were ordered not to hit the Crystal Pulnco itself. It was too useful to the ralders as a signpost.
Ever since the war began, there has been an agitation for' the removal of the two usclesв| towers, the only part of the Paluco left after the fire four years ago.
Last June the people of South London rejoiced when, they heard that the towers had been sold for scrop. They would yield 1,000 tons of iron.

Sir Henry does not sympathise with those who fear that the towers bring danger to their homes.
