GERMAN RUHR

British Raids Continue to Take Toll of Nazi InduS-

BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE

(UMAtC0 EreSS SSau COEEeSpOnuehtl London, June 6 = (U.P9 -sBri- tain's great four-engined bomber planes, to a total of 300 or more attacked the German Ruhr war in- dustry center during the night fol the third time in five days of theil new devastation raids, the air min- iStry announced today.
 Throughout the night, as they struck again at the heart of Ger many's war production, light bornb- CTS and night fighters hurled bombs and poured machine gun bullets in- to targets over wide area of Ger man occupied territory.
 Planes based on the Mediterran- can and the Middle East extended the offensive to a front of more than 300 miles by bombing Naples Italy's third city, in waves and, by admission of the Italian command starting fires.
 And as the night forces wingeS homeward, with distant explosion still shaking the southeast Englisl coast as the result of their bombing in the Boulogne area, hundreds O British day shift planes raced into the rising sun to resume the rounC the clock offensive which entered its second week today.
 "Last night strong bomber force. attacked an objective in the indus. trial district of the Ruhr", the ail ministry communique said of the night raid.

Disastrous Defeat For Japs
 Is Claimed By Adm. Nimitz
Jap Strategy In Attack Uncertain
BY REAR ADMIRAL YATES STIRLING, JR.
 IT. e. N. Retired

Written For The United PreSS)
 (Undated) - The attacks on Dutch HarbOr and Midway Island were by two separate forces. They were only 8 day apart and it is to far from Dutch HarbOr to Mid- way Island, for 1t to have been by one force.
 The attack on Midway may be of great importance. Both could have been for reconnaissance to dis cover the present strategical dis position of the United States fleet, or they could be initial thrusts to be followed up. if cOn- ditiOnS warrant, by an all out ate tack on Alaska, Hawaii or the Pa- cilic coast.
 1t would appear strategy to waste time at Midway if the final and supreme attack is destined to be on Hawaii, HOO miles away. The attack makes sense only if the Japanese are attempting to draw off our fleet guarding Hawaii i'm order to attack with air forces in the absence of most of our war vessels.
 The Japanese also may hope to intercept an inferior force of war; ships and airpIanes sent from Ha- waii to reinforce Midway.
 It would seem unlikely thai that Japanese naval strategy would be led so far afield at this time as to attack the Panama Canal.

TRANSPORTING OF WORKERS E TOBE PROBLEM Secy Green of Chamber of Commerce Issues
 Timely Warning SITUATION RAPIDLY
 BECOMING SERIOUS Staggered Opening Hours of School, Stores One
 Effort to Aid

Transportation of war plant workers to and from their jobs will be one of the greatest civilian defense problems which Waterbury must face within the next few months, Secretary Frank J. Green of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce, who is also secretary of the Water bury Defense Council and a member of its transportation committee, said today.
 ''Feople don't yet realize the seri- ousness of the transportation prob- lem" said MT. Green, "but the sit- uation will undoubtedly be brought forcibly home to them within @ few months. The city's public transport tation facilities are able to carry only Q certain number of passen- gers but demands on them arc growing every day.
 "The number of industrial work CTS keeps increasing and, in con- verse ratio, the number of private cars on the highways is decreasing. We're going to need the coopera- ton of everyone in Waterbury to insure adequate transportation for factory workers. We've got to do #. for war production is the most irn- portant thing, far overshadoWing anything else"
 Studies made by the transporta- ton committee of the Waterbury defense council have already re- suited in changes of high school and store opening hours to make more room available in busses for factory employees. High schools are now opening at 8:30 instead or 2 a. m. and stores now open at v:SU a. m. instead of 9 a. m.
 The committee is now studying proposed plans for the staggering If shift change hours at factories and office hours in downtown firms
 Pooling of private cars and shar' ing of rides make up another phase of the program which the commit tee hes been studying.

JAP SUB TOLL IS MOUNTING
Merchantmen Sunk Near Melbourne, But Plane

BY BRYDON c. TAVES

Limited Press Staff Correspondent Melbourne, June 6 (UP) - 4 Japanese submarine has sunk g second merchantmen of the south east coast but is believed to have paid with its life, to bring the tota of enemy undersea craft destroyed in six days to seven and probably eight, it was announced today.
 The Japanese SubmerSible, lurk' ing of the New South Wales statf coast in the new offensive against the vital Pacific supply line from the United States, torpedoed an Australian merchantmen.
 The stricken ship broke in halves and sank within 30 seconds.
 But as it sank, with probably 3s of it's 43 men trapped inside, an allied reconnaissance plane roared over and its ayenging bombs were believed to have sunk the sub marine.
 Racing to the rescue, the plane swept to within 20 feet of the five survivors struggling in the water It dropped three bombs. After the third struck the water a big ex- plosion was heard, apparently tIls side the submarine.
 The survivors were brought ashore by an allied ship which was ill sight when the submarine attacked
 They said that about 20 men aboard their ship had been W tht mess hall when the torpedo struck and probably were trapped sa powerful was the explosion that debris was tbrogn more than mast high

Innocent Czechs Still "Ex' eCnted": BeIgians Must

London, June 6-(UP)-The Ger mans, still executing innocent Czechs for the assassination Of Reinhard Heydrich, today were try ing to suppress a potential fifth column they fear will stab them in the back the moment an Allied ipI vasiop begins,

 Washington, June 6-tUP)-The army favors drafting IS and l9 year old youths for battle service before family men because the youngsters make better soldiers, @ War Department official said today.
 Pointing out that the demands of total war on manpower will soon force Congress to make such a choice, the official said the mental and physical resiliency, recklesSness and all-around buoyancy which characterizes the 18 or l9 year old youth make him ideal material for military training"
 '"The married man, by compari- son, makes very poor showing" ," the spokesman said.
 "He tends to be cautious in bat tie. His home ties and responsibili- ties are carried with him into mili- | tary service and cause complica- tions for him which are liable to impair his efficiency as a soldier 4 The footloose youngster has none of these problems"
 Teen age youths cannot be draft ed for active duty under present law. Nevertheless, army circles be- lieve that their registration with the selective service system on June 30 will prove the first step toward their eventual induction.
 Realizing that public opinion now is against drafting the youths, army circles believe that attitude will change when large-scale induction of family men becomes necessary. Such a time, they warn, is not far distant, especially in face of the present congressional action to raise army pay and make better pro- visions for the inductee'S family.
 When that time comes and the public is faced with the actual al- formative of breaking up homes or allowing l8 and l9 years olds to be ((sontfnlied On Page ll

 INVASION ATTEMPT Destination of Jap Fleet Still Remains Mystery
 to Officials
BY FRANK TREMAINE

BY FRANK TREMAtNE Limited Press Staff Corresnpndesit::a
 Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, June 6.-(UP)-A major Japanese fleet is withdrawing under relentless American attack with battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers and trans ports damaged after a humil- iating and possibly disas- rous defeat near Midway Island, Admiral Chester W. Nimitz announced today.
 "As more reports come in it ap-' pears that the enenly's damage was very heavy indeed, involving several ships in each of the carrier, battle ship and transport classes" he said.
 The communique apparently said that several carriers, several battle- ships, several cruisers and several transports had been damaged, mak- ing a total of eight to 12. Meaning Indefinite
 It was possible, however, that the meaning intended was that several ships had been damaged to total of four or more, including enc or more carriers, one or more battle ships, one or more cruisers and one or more transports.
 The disclosure that the major en-' emy fleet included transports made it evident that United States Navy, Air Force, Army and Marine de- fense forces had repulsed a definite Japanese invasion attempt-on Mid- way or even more vital objective.
 Carrier Is Struck
 One enemy aircraft carrier, first damaged by aerial bombs, was later struck by three United States sub- marine torpedoes the fighting coni- mander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet announced in one of the most dram- atic communiques of the war.
 Reciting the damage to the enemy fleet. he continued:
 This damage is far out of pro- portion to that which we received.
 While it is too early to claim a major Japanese disaster it may be conseryatiyely stated that United States control remains firm in the, Midway area.
 "The enemy appears to be with drawing but we are continuing the battle"
 There was as yet no ofiicial indi~ cation of the destination or mission of the Japanese fleet which United States war forces, working in per- feet unison, had repulsed.
 There remained possibility fhat both the Midway attack Thursday and the Dutch HaTbor attack Wed~ nesday were diversions to screen q major attack on Hawaii or even the United Etates-canadiap eeasE. " so, the scheme had failed,
 Nimltzs eommunique implied plainly that the attack had been beaten Off and probably definitely broken,
 Ordered to HaWaA at the darkest hour Of the war after the enemy sneak attack on Pearl HsFbor Dee, I, Nimitz praised with warmth the lighting men of the United States forces who had won this great slies cess

SMALL MOTORS WILL HELP
FARMERS SHORT OF LABOR

With help scarce on the farm
these days and many winter jobs
ahead, any labor saving practice
is worth serious consideration, ad-
vises Ray w. Carpenter, specialist
in agricultural engineering for the
Extension Service. He says that
a quarter horsepower motor is a
labor saving device that will re-
lease man power for other jobs,
cut operating costs and get the
work done faster and better.
A quarter horsepower motor
can handle any operation designed
for hand power; in fact, there is
power to spare, Mr.. Carpenter
points out. A normal man at
hard work exerts about one-tenth
of horsepower. Such a motor
can run the corn shelter, seed
cleaner and grader, potato and
fruit grader, vegetable washer
small cement mixer, grindstone,
post drill, pump and deliver water
run small shop saw or grind 40
pounds Of feed per hour. Operat
ing costs vary between one and
two cents per hour.
