HARBOUR BOMBED
The Near East war, which German dive-bom- bers and British troops | shared the limelight, con- | tinued to hold attention yesterday as bad weather drew a screen over the war in the West.
The German air force, seeking
to aid Italy by gaining control
over central Mediterranean waters, made another attack on the British naval base vat Malte yesterday, according to Berlin re- ports.
No account of the raid has been received from Malta direct but apparently the Germans switched the attack back to the harbour, after bombing R.A.F. aerodromes on Saturday...
Germán dive-bombers are now being protected by German and Italian fighters and the Germans admit losing, three more aircraft to RAF fighters -who, although outnumbered, shot down six coinhat on Saturday, making total of at least 1X -since- day.Reuter,
