BASELESS REPORT
LUFTWAFFE IN CANARY
ISLANDS
LISBON STORY DENIED
(Rec. 9.30 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 7. It is stated in authoritative quarters that there is not the slightest foundation for a report that the Luftwaffe has occupied the Canary Islands, off the coast of West Africa, with 500 aircraft and the necessary personnel. It is pointed out that Lisbon, where the story originated, is at present notorious for foundationless rumours, the latest of which is particularly absurd in view of recent statements of a German shortage of aircraft and the concentration of the bulk of the air force on the Eastern Front.
