Peril of axis raids on seaboard cities warned
The director of the Office of Civilian Defense warns hostile planes could launch token hit and run raids on seaboard cities if the United States chooses to fight. With Roosevelt ordering the navy to fire on Axis warships in defense waters, US merchant ships may be armed or convoyed into belligerent ports if the neutrality act is revised. Warfare in American waters could follow if Axis powers crush Russia or attack Atlantic shipping to Britain, with sporadic coastal bombing possible. Port cities seek guidance.
