Germans Out to “Get” Roosevelt’s Son
LONDON, May 25. Apparently the Germans made a dead set to get Captain James Roosevelt, President Roosevelt's son, who Is visiting: Iraq, says the Cairo correspondent of the British United Press. Twice at Habbaniyah, German planes attacked Captain Roosevelt’s car. On the first occasion, three Heinkels swooped and rained bombs on the car and forced it to turn back and dash to safety. Later, four Messerschmitts dived to 200 feet, spraying machinegun bullets around the car. Captain Roosevelt jumped out and flung himself flat on the sand. In addition, Captain Roosevelt’s quarters were bombed and machine-gunned.
