Chinese Troops
RetQke Airdrome

Red army reports killing another
24,000 Germans. mostly at Lenln
grad.
LONDON-BritiSh air attacks re-
portedly knocked out big German
held auto plants at Matford formel
Ford company for months as result
of low-level bombing. Germans make
big nighttime air attack on Brit
aims southeast coast, repeatedly at
Dover and Portland.
SPRING OFFENSIVE
The increasing warfare in the air
as we'll as at sea indicated that
the Axis was attempting to get up
steam for Hitler's threatened 1912
offensive.
London sources renewed predic-
tions that Hitler was prepared
perhaps with the aid of a sudden
Japanese attack-to attempt to
knock the Red armies out of the war
this summer. A new Axis offensive
in the Mediterranean area also was
forecast.
Thursday night, one of the biggest
night bombing forces that Germany
has sent over England hammered
at British ports Berlin said they
were Dover and Portland. appar
emily inflicting considerable dam
age and casualties.
Dispatches from London said the
pattern of these raids indicated
that the Nazi bombers were Strikin2
at the bases Of British Commando
invasion units in an effort to pre-
vent expected new raids on the
German-held coast of Europe.
The possibility CT a full-scale
United Nations invasion of Europe
to open new front this summer
still seemd comparativly remote but
the Nazi air attack were regarded
as proof Of the effectiveness Of Brit
.ish stabs against the continent
designed to harass the Germans
and force Hitler to keep strong all
and land units in the west.
In addition, the British continued
their own strong air attacks on Nazi
industrial centers in Europe. re-
porting that the Raj attack OF
the big Matford auto truck works
near Paris-the second most vital
target in that region-had beer
successful.
The Matford industrial center has
been made useless to the Germans
for months to come as a result OF
the British attack, it was asserted
in London after aerial reconnals-
sance.
Targets at Boulogne and Poissy
also have been heavily battered by
British bombers this week.
