HUMAN TORPEDO FACTORY
WELL-TIMED DESTRUCTION (Rec. 11 a.m.) RUGBY, Nov. 5. After Dutch workers in a human torpedo factory at Utrecht had gone off for the afternoon yesterday Typhoons, carrying 5001 b bombs, swept out of the clouded skies and blew the buildings to pieces. Twelve direct hits were scored. The pilots knew a huge oil tank was concealed in the basement, and that a hit on it would cause terrific destruction. A spurt of flame and smoke testified! to the accuracy of the hombing. The oil tanks were hit and parts of the building collapsed in ruins.
