London, To-day.
Another flight over France by British bombers on an even larger scale is being planned, and will take place very soon, probably next week. While the exact number has not been decided, more machines will participate than in the last flight, an Air Ministry official told Reuter.
It is estimated that the crews will total about 1,000,
including 300 pilots.
The official stated the planes would make non-stop flights but were unlikely to go beyond the southern limits of France.
The distance covered non-stop will probably be further than the previous maximum of 1,200 miles.
Plans are also progressing for the early visit of French bombers to England.
At first these will be daylight flights. Reuter.

NO STEPS TO INCREASE CRUISER SIZES
LONDON, TO-DAY.
A. SUGGESTION WAS MADE IN A PARLIAMENTARY QUESTION YESTERDAY THAT BRITAIN SHOULD APPROACH THE UNIT- ED STATES AND FRENCH GOV- ERNMENTS, WITH A VIEW TO REGAINING FREEDOM TO LAY DOWN EIGHT-INCH GUN CRUIS- · ERS BEFORE 1942.
Grounds for the suggestion were that cruisers were being built by Germany..

'CRUDE THREATS AGAINST AXIS TOWNS'
BERLIN, TO-DAY. THE SUGGESTION IN BRI- TISH NEWSPAPERS THAT BRI- TISH BOMBERS ARE CAPABLE OF FLYING TO POLAND, HAS INFURIATED THE NAZI PRESS. "Encirclement from the air" and "Crude threats against Axis towns" are typical headlines.
It is asserted that a flight to Poland is impossible without pass- ing over the Northern European .States, thereby violating their
neutrality.
"SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS”
Meanwhile, the press had hard things to say about the Senate com- mittee following its decision to post- pone further consideration of the Neutrality Bill until next session.
The Scripps-Howard newspapers declare the Senate has provided "psychological encouragement for another Nazi squash and grab."
The "Baltimore Sun" publishes a cartoon depicting a senator waving a storm lantern to encourage Hitler and Mussolini to advance.-Reuter.
