LESS THAN TEN MINUTES NEARLY HALF THE ROYAL AIR FORCE OF BRITAIN WAS BOMBED OUT OF EXISTENCE- (AN EXTRACT FROM FICTION WHICH CAN EASILY BECOME FACT).

It happened at four o'clock on a brilliant Saturday afternoon in Juno. The occasion, was Hendon Air Display, when the acrial might of Britain was shown to an admiring populace.

Only 18 enemy planes delivered the attack.

The rajah also petitioned for the transfer of the case from the judge at Vizagapatam.

The transfer was refused, but a temporary injunction was issued restraining the Court of Wards from sending the young princes out of the country.

This temporary injunction has now been rendered per- manent. The Court of Wards now can only apply to the High Court for directions to control the children's movements within the limits of British India.
