The United Nations have four

Night Of Raids
Estimoted 600 PIones
Strike at Nuremberg
and Soorbruecken

LONDON, Aug. 20 - (P) -
The Raj struck its second
smashing blow in two nights at
the Nazi war factory last night
with an assault by large
force" of bombers perhaps
several hundred - at the an
cient cities of Nuremberg and
Saarbruecken, both highly inn
portant military targets.
The Raj bombers flew nearly
500 miles to reach Nuremberg,
deep in southern Germany. Saar-
bruecken, on the French border
and only about '5 miles from
Metz, is a rich coal and iron
producing center.
An Air Ministry communique
said 80 bombers failed to return
from the mission. On the basis
of average five per cent losses
on similar large-scale raids in
the past, this would put the
number of participating planes
at 600.
THIRD OF WEEK
The assault was the third this
week against German industrial
centers. On Thursday night a
force of approximately the same
strength smashed at the. former
Poiish port Of Gdynia, only few
miles west of Danzig on the Bal
tic Sea, and at Kassel, a locomo-
tive-building center Monday
night Wiesbaden and Frankfurt
were the targets.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29-(P
Because it is closer to the
Euro pean battle-ground than
most other sources of supply, the
United States may have to share
a larger portion of its meat
with American arm e d forces
overseas and with Great Britain
than previously expected.
This is the implication of a
statement by President Roose-
welt yesterday that Americans
may be asked to observe meat
less day each week. Meatless
days would be one way of re-
ducing American consumption to
make larger supplies available
for movement across the Allan
tic.
