THE OBSERVER, SUNDAY, OCTOBER' 11, 1942 8 SOCCER RUGBY HAVE mm MORE BRITONS FROM JAPAN 900 LEAVE THE SECOND SHiP AIR BLITZ IN DESERT 14 PLANES HIT ON GROUND Ten fighters destroyed, fourteen planes hit on the ground, thirty motor vehicles hit, two A.A. gun posts silenced, and an ammunition dump exploded. Allied forces had this bag during day and night heavy-scale attacks on enemy landing grounds around Daba in the Western Desert on-Friday. British, South African, Australian, and American planes took part, and U.S. Fighters destroyed their first enemy aircraft in the desert.

The planes hit on the ground were ten fighters, three bombers, and a troop-carrier. Our fighters fought off repeated desperate attempts by Axis fighters to intercept the heavier planes, and after each bombing run the Kitti-hawks and Spitfires strafed the grounded planes Finally, after the last bombing raid of the day, a large force of Hurricanes swept in, strafing what was left of the aerodromes, planes, and lorries. Lieut. W. J.

Mount, of Osswa-tonie, Kansas, is the first U.S. air force fighter pilot to shoot down an Axis plane on the desert front. He chased an Me. out to sea, shot the tail off it, and watched it plunge into the water. TRAIN WRECKED Light bombers and long-range fighters made a successful attack on an eastbound enemy train between Bir Habbatavand Mischeifa.

Direct hits were scored with bombs and the tram was shot up along its whole length. The engine was totally destroyed and the cargo, including four large guns, was wrecked. An ammunition truck was blown 100 feet into the air. Twelve of our aircraft are missing. Seven direct hits and five near misses were scored on a large tanker and eight direct hits and five near misses on fuel installations in a raid by U.S.

Ernest Bevin, Minister ot i Labour and National Service, in a tatement issued from the Min- stry yesterday, again told the Tyneside shipyard strikers that the Government will not depart from the agreement, but says that out- lde intervention could do more harm than good. The Government are confident. the statement declares, that hav- ng legard to. the war situation the men will not be guilty of continuing the stoppage. By doing so they caused grave injury to their own mates now in the nght- ng well as to the interests of their own unions, as their exe-cutivts intended to honour the agreement.

Apart from a number of men released from the Army to work the yards, none of the strikers went back to work yesterday. une meeting of strikers vester- dav voted bv a large majority against anneals bv the Lord Mavor of Newcastle and the Mayor of wausena urging them to return.

Potato County Championship i NO SCORE Scotland draw with England By A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT Seventy-five thousand people, including many the England -and Scotland -game at Wembley From, start-to finish no goal was but the contest provided an outstanding example that the sport can. provide a east of thrills apart from actual goals.

In the last two minutes' the respective goalkeepers Marks from and Dawson from Hagan made saves which bordered on the miraculous. The closing moments and other exciting situations -such as when Lawton headed against the bar in the first half compensated for an exhibition in which combined play was slightly below the usual standard. Summed -up, it was essentially a defenders' eame. and 1 thlnk.it Is true to say that never before at Wembiey has the general defensive standard been so high in such a game. Among.

the defenders there were only giants, and If Shankley of Preston North.

There was a debate as to whethur unran, winding.

WEST END FAIRY GODMOTHER Death of Founder of Allied Services Club By the death in St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, of Mrs. Hughes Kavanagh, Allied soldiers in all corners of the world, as well as the down-and-outs of the London streets, have lost a friend and champion.

It was as Mrs. Scott-Dorrien that this fairy godmother of the West End was known during the years in which she dedicated her life to the service of others It is a trnmr rircumstancp nf hr ripnth that she had been married to Mr. Hughes Kavanagh who is serving in His Majesty Forces for less than three months, and was eagerly awaiting his first long leave since the wedding. She was barely twenty-one when she started St. Peter's kitchens, in Soho, awhere, every night, 300 meats were served to destitute men and women.

The kitchens were financed largely from her own income, and she was the most tireless worker there. When war broke out the kit chens were closed and Mrs. Scott- Dorrien founded the Allied Services Club in' Marylebone-road. Her death took place after only three days in hospital following in juries she received in a severe burning accident at her flat. AID FOR RUSSIA Mr.
