RAF Strikes At German Industries
London March 12 —(UP)— British heavy bombing planes blasted targets in industrial western Germany during the night while other planes made a big scale attack on the French invasion coast and British guns along the Dover Strait blazed angrily, apparently at enemy ships in French waters.
It was the second straight night attack on western Germany, heart of Germany's war industry, and it was believed that the raid was a heavy one and engaged some of Britain's biggest planes.
Armaments Plant Bombed
Authoritative sources said that Essen, site of the vast Krupp armaments plant, which was bombed ferociously the night before, again had been the chief target for a concentrated attack.
A German broadcast heard here said British planes dropped incendiary and explosive bombs on several towns, although visibility was bad. Details were not yet available, the broadcast said, but it was known that hits were scored on "residential areas" and "several civilians" had been killed or wounded.
The entire southeast coast shook with blasts of explosions along the French invasion coast during the evening. United Press watchers said British planes made a continuous attack for hours, starting before dark.
RAF Drops Largest Bombs
So savage was the attack, the watchers said, that they were reminded of the "old days" of last summer and fall. The ground shaking forces of the explosions they said, confirmed the belief of military observers that some of the heaviest bombs of the Royal Air Force were dropped.
German guns sent up tremendous quantities of shells the watchers reported, in their attempt to drive off the raiders, and the sky seemed pitted with flashes of shells including tracer shells and flaming onions.
It was about midnight when the coastal guns went into action.
For an hour, firing in four-guns salvoes, they kept up a bombardment across the misty strait. The long range guns which fire into France apparently were not in action, watchers said, and the flashes of explosions of shorter range guns indicated that they were firing at shipping in the strait.

"ROXY HART"
New officers were elected last night at a meeting of the Kappa chapter of Phi Sigma, honorary biology faternity.
The new officers are: president, George Rinker, department of zoology; vice president, Kenneth Moore, department of psychology; secretary, Seymour Sanford Kalter, department of bacteriology; treasurer, Florence Dill, department of botany.
A talk was given by Reece Sailer, outgoing president, concerning nest temperatures among the Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, and ants). It was pointed out that man is not the only animal capable of controlling the temperature of his living quarters, that the honey bees and wasps, by building covers around their nests, maintain an even temperature within their colonies.
Slides were shown illustrating the temperature records within the nest of a colony of yellow jackets. They were taken the past summer by Mr. Sailer.
Present Last in Series Of Fine Arts Recitals
The senior recital presented last night in Frank Strong auditorium by Robert Glotzbach, a senior in piano from the studio of Dean D. M. Swarthout, temporarily brought to a close the long series of recitals presented this year by fine arts seniors.
Glotzbach's program was drawn from Brahms, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff, among others, and included the opening movement of the Brahms F sharp minor Sonata, a group of three preludes from Chopin, three etudes, a Nocturne, and the Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini, by Rachmaninoff. All orchestral parts were played by Dean Swarthout on a second piano.
Because Glotzbach has been called for military service in the near future, his recital was last night instead of early in April, as originally scheduled.
Glotzbach came to the University in 1935 as a student in fine arts but later enrolled in the School of Business, from which he received his B. S. degree in 1940. He then reentered the School of Fine Arts, and will receive his bachelor of music degree this semester.

Dr. Allen stated this morning that there was a chance that the Jayhawker "B" squad would also play in Kansas City Tuesday night in a preliminary game against some service team of this area. As yet no arrangements htve been made but it is definite that there will be a preliminary game and if a suitable foe can be secured, there is a strong likelihood that the "B" team would engage in its third game of the season.
Allen also dispatched a telegram to Lieut. Commdr. J. Russell Cook, coach of the Great Lakes Naval Training Station basketball squad, stating that he would be more than willing to engage the Navy crew in a benefit game in Kansas City March 31 in case the Jayhawkers emerged from the N.C.A.A. playoffs as national champions. To do this, however, the Jayhawks would have to defeat Oklahoma A. and M. and then win three additional games in the playoffs which Dr. Allen describes as "extremely doubtful."
