Getting an effective headlock on a recalcitrant water buffalo is no child’s chore. Lincoln park
zoo helpers discovered early Monday morning when they tried to corral Junior, 4-year-old
beastie to be traded to a Colorado Springs zoo for a chimpanzee. It took two men 90 minutes to
make Junior toe the line, and climb into a Mistletoe truck preparatory to taking off. The two
zoo helpers who finally were victorious are Pedro Garcia, in foreground, and Brigido Reyer

A German spokesman declared that
20 military airports were attacked
by "several hundred" Nazi bombers,
with the pilots especially seeking out
flying fields from which RAF long-
distance bombers have set out to at-
tack the reich.
London itself had the lightest night
raid in three weeks, but thousands
of residents huddled in shelters fear-
ful of another storm such as that
which hit the capital Saturday night.
Rescue workers still dug in the
wreckage for victims of that all-out
attack, whcih inflicted a toll of un-
counted dead and wounded. A single
bomb smashed through a hotel and
exploded in the basement where 140
persons had taken refuge.

Seized Ships
WASHINGTON, May 12 — T—
Secretary Hull advised Monday
against restrictions on the use
of foreign ships that may be
taken over by the government,
but administration opponents
renewed their demands that the
pending ship requisition bill be
altered to ban the outright
transfer of seized axis vessels to
Britain.
Hull set forth his views in a letter
made public by the senate commerce
committee which is nearing the end of
its study of the house-approved ship
requisition measure.
"The department of state,” lie wrote,
"feels it would be unwise to place a
restrictive or prohibitory provision in
the proposed legislation."
Any restriction, Hull added, would
tend to place vessels acquired under
the legislation "in a different, cate-
gory from oilier vessels now under
the American Hag."
Testimony before a closed commit-
tee session last week, made public
Monday by committeemen, showed
Chairman Emory S. Land of the
maritime commission also had urged
' wide open legislation with no strings
whatsoever."
Nevertheless. Senator Clark (D.
Mo i. a committee member, said he
would propose an amendment, previ-
ously defeated in the house, to pre-
vent the administration from turning
over German and Italian vessels to
Great Britain.

Germany at last was feeling the sting ot a big-scale aerial coun-
