Italy Gets Bombs And Churchill Pamphlets
LONDON, Jan. 12 (Router)—A new attempt is being made by Italy to bar the now familiar route used by British bombers between Britain and northern' Italy.
Laat Saturday night for the first time, batteries of anti- aircraft guns ranged on the Italian slopes of the Alps opened fire against RA.F. bombers going to attack the Royal Arsenal In Turin.
The rolders reached their objective one after another. soon after mid- night, despite this addition to the hazards of..winter flying over the Alps. The almost clear sky which awaited them over Turin enabled them to identify clearly railways and streets and the sweep of the river
Posome aircraft carried a number of very heavy bombs which were re- leased, with a shower of incendiaries, right Into the arsenal, Explosions which followed the bursting of the bombs went on intermittently and could still be seen when the bombers were back over the Alps. The fires were equally impressive.
One pilot was prevented from at tacking the arsenal because his bomb- release had frozen over the Alps, but he flew on until the mechantsin had "come alive" again and bombed the Flat works and another factory,
Four-page pamphlets giving Mr Churchill's recent speech were also
dropped.

JAMSHEDPUR, Jan. 12 (Reu- ter). It was Indian workers' interests that suffered from the many movements hindering the war effort, said the Labour
leader, Mr M. N. Roy, calling on the workers to stand shoulder to shoulder with the British worker who "was bearing the brunt of the responsibility of defending the world against the menace of Fascism."
Mr Roy added, "We will be false to the international ideals of the Labour movement If we fall to extend helping hand to our British comrades at this movement."
