Irish Bases

LONDON-The foreign OF
flee said Friday that Amer
lean employees of Great Britain
were working on war projects
in Northern Ireland but that
information available in Lon
don failed TO support charges
that the United States was
constructing sir-naval bases in
Northern Ireland.
Although the foreign office by
indirect statement sought TO eoun-
teract reports that American
bases in North ireland were to
follow the American occupation OF
Iceland. the Belfast newspaper
Northern Whig made significant
editorial comment indicating that
there was substance to the reports.
The newspaper. commencing on
charges by Sen Robert Taft. r..
o. that he was reliably informed"
the bases were being built. said:
MIR. Taffs proposals To
establish American base. In
Northern Ireland may he
nearer than generally re-
Allied"
Such action by the United States
would be welcomed the newspaper
added. and II might aid in over
coming the refusal Of Fire To grant
Britain naval bases In Southern
Ireland for fighting the German
U-boats.

Berlin to have included the drop
ping of hundreds of heavy high eX-
plosive bombs and tens of thousands
of incendiaries which, it was claim
ed, started big fires throughout
the Soviet capital. Twelve hits by
heavy bombs were said to have been
observed near the Kremlin.
The Russian accounts said that
several fires were started by in
cendiary bombs in central Moscow
and that some casualties had oc-
Cured but insisted that little dam
age resulted. Some II German raid
ers were reported brought down in
the attack.
On the front lines the Russians
reported that their lines appeared
to be holding well in the frequent
" mentioned Pskov, Polotsk-Nevel,
and Novograd Volynsk sectors, pro-
tecting Leningrad, Moscow and KieV.
The Germans had little more to
say about front line fighting.
One Nazi report claimed that
Jakob Stain, son of the Russian
premier, had been captured with
his panzer unit southeast of Vitebsk.

Shapiro, United Press staff corre-
spondent in Moscow. describing his
personal experiences during the air
attack seemed to indicate that the
raid was only of moderate intensity
compared with the smashing blows
which the German air force has
in the past dealt at British cities.
The Nazi air attack on Moscow
was the first since hostilities started
June %.
Berlin called it a major attack
in the pattern long made familiar
in the British Isles and said it was
as heavy as any ever hurled against
Britain.
The Nazi high command also en-
tered an even more sweeping claim
than any before concerning the dis
integration of Russian defenSes. No
unified front line or central Rus
sian command is any longer in eX-
istence, the Germans claimed, main
tanning that their forces are now
engaged in mopping up scattered
and isolated Russian detachmentS.
Moscow sharply challenged this
report but estimated that 200 Ger
man planes participated.
The air attack diverted atten-
ton from front line fighting be-
tween Russia and Germany
The Germans claimed that the
smash by air at the Red capital was
one phase of a terrific assault by the
luftWaffe on the entire triangle
from Smolensk to Leningrad to
Moscow.
In that area. it was claimed.
German planes wrecked railroad
lines, military barracks and pound

vious attempt to break up Soviet
military power behind the firing
lines to prevent reinforcements Of
