“1 attributed it to shock from

the accident,” he stated. ‘

The defense also produced

Friday a witness to the acci-

the inquest.He was James L. Gange, of 4535

four or five cars behind when Gus- |tafson was hit the night of Sept.|20 at So. 3Sth and Pacific. |

‘ British and German air

naval targets with a furious

new Royal air force assault

on the Nazi naval base of

| Wilhelmshaven and a fresh

luftwaffe attack on the dam-

|aged 23,000-ton British air-

craft carrier Illustrious.

The outbreak of German dive-

{bombing attacks on British ur!power in the Mediterranean caused

London observers to predict a

change in Royal navy tacties in

that area to meet the new menace

The RAF pounded Wil

t New targets were blasted 100.l| particularly the concentration nfioil tanks used to fuel naval vessels |and shipyard industries and the

railroad center through which|

ship building supplies and Warmaterial are furnished. |

! The new attack on the Nlus- |

‘ pounded warship took refuge

| after the dive-bomber attack

| made a week ago today off

’ Sicily.The Germans claimed three di®

rect hits were made on the Illus-Itrious and that the carrier had

been put out of action for the

duration of the war. In addition,

they said, a merchant ship was hit.

port that Italian planes aided the

} No word came from the
