took a heavy toll of casualties and
damage at Berlin, Cologne, in the
Ruhr valley and France and at
the big Fascist aviation center OF
Brindisi during the night and to-
day. London acknowledged the un-
precedented loss of 35 airplaneS,
due chiefly, the British said, to
unexpected storms and icing.
The German official news agency
said IA British planes dn addition
to 35 lost Friday night) had been
shot down Saturday afternoon in
an air battle over the Calais area
on the English Channel, without
less to the LuftWaffe.
British pilots were credited with
fighting their way through sudden
storms over Europe to drop their
heavy cargoes of explosives on des-
ignated targets, only to fall VIC
tins of the greatest hazard OF
night bombing-a sudden change
in weather. Big ur-motored bomb
ers crashed under the weight OF
ice on their wings, were buffeted
down in France or the North Sea
or lost over Germany, according to
officials statements in Berlin and
London.
The error in judging the weather
probably an unavoidable error in
view of limited wartime facilities)
accounted for greater loss IN
bombers and pilots than had been
reported in any night raid except
for one German attack on Mos

WAR CLAIMS CONFLICT
The Germans claimed two impor-

on the Moscow front and one in
the Crimea's Kerch isthmus, while
the Russians reported that the
Red army had beaten back a big
German tank attack in the Volo-
kolamSk sector northwest of Mos
COW and taken the iniative against
the enemy.
Radio Moscow reported Saturday
night that the German drive on
the Soviet capital had failed and
that the Russians were counterat-
lacking on some sectors after hav-

The extent of Russian gains near

Not only was the attendance graft
flying but the exhibits reached an
