Air raids which bore home the
meaning of total war to Japan
for the first time in history last
Saturday dealt her a jolting blow
both materially and spiritually, as
it became increasingly evident des-
pite her efforts to belittle the at
tacks that at least they were high
ly effective in jangling the enemy's
nerves.
The mystery Of how the bombers
got there no doubt is what Japan
is hoping to learn by provoking
an announcement from the United
Nations saying whether or not they
are back aboard aircraft carriers.
hurrying at top speed out of fly
ing range, or came from land bases.
Say u. s. BOmbers
The japanese said later yester-
day that the planes were Martin
bombers," sweeping thousands OF
miles of their shores. This pre-
sumably meant that they were Ar
my and not Navy planes and too
large to be launched from aircraft
carriers.
A Reuters dispatch from Chung
king said that the planes had
reached their destination" evil
IDENTIFY meaning that they had re-
"A t,a
but this was the only word from
United Nations powers.
Communiques Disagree
A new Japanese communicate last
nigt was at sharp variances with
earlier Tokyo bulletins, putting the
number of planes at 10 in all and
saying that some had escaped.
Previously the Japs had asserted
that planes had been downed and
one was forced to land, but this
would leave none to have escaped.
The new communique added that
it was understood the planes had
fled TO the Chinese mainland" This
was the announcement which iden-
titled the raiders as American
medium bombers.
One version previously picked up
by Columbia Broadcasting System
short wave had reported that one
of the bombers was forced down
and five crew members captured.
The Italian paper, La Gazzetta
Del Popolo, of Turin, expressed the
belief that the raiders started from
bases in Soviet Russia secretly ced-
ed to the United States.

The W ashington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
and ROBERT S. ALLEN

WASHINGTON-Federal Security
Administrator Paul McNutt has the
inside track for head of the War
Manpower agency that will shortly
be established.
The tall, handsome Indianan is
the choice of the four-member COM
mittee to whom the President turned
over the job of picking man and
drafting the set-up for the agency.
The four are Justice William o
Douglas, Judge Sam Roserman of
the New York Supreme Court, Bud
get Director Harold Smith, and Mrs.
Anne Rosenberg, White House labor
adviser.
Smith and Mrs. Rosenberg were
the big McNutt rooters. Both have
personal peeves against Sidney Hill
man, who has been Roosevelt's labor
chief since the days of the original
National Defense Commission in
1910.
Smith is sore at Hillman because
JIlc ldCtcT SldppCQ liuA dOWi WAiSAi
Smith tried to sidetrack Hillman
when OPM was set up. Mrs. Rosen-
berg is anti-Hillman because he
didn't bring her into the defense
picture.
Personally, Hillman is not a can
didate for the Manpower post. 1t
has not been revealed but he has
twice offered his resignation to the
President since OPM was disbanded.
On both occasions Roosevelt warmly
praised Hillman's work and loyalty
and insisted that he had to remain
in washington.
NOTE When the presidential
committee asked War Production
Chief Donald Nelson whom he fav-
ored for. the Manpower job, he re-
piled that he had no choice. his
only recommendation was that the
new agency be made part OF his
organization.

Hitler Celebrates Birthday
by Attempted Blitz
Against Russians
CBY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Adolf Hitler, observing his fifty
third birthday in his Eastern Front
headquarters, is reported by the
Russians to be trying to put the
old blitz back into air warfare by
throwing as many as SO planes
against single secret detectives.
The Russian communicates, how
ever, declare that these attacks
show signs that Hitler has mar
shaled the bulk of his air force
on that front to the expense of
his air strength in Western Eur
ope.
Smash Airdromes
German bombers ranged across
the vast Russian front over the
weekend, smashing railway stations,
airdromes and front line positions.
The Fuhrer's activity evidently was
impelled by improving weather and
his hope of starting a general OIL
fensive sometime soon.
Also reported was the widening
of the breach the Russians are ex-
plotting against the Firms above
Leningrad.
On the southern front, the Ger
mans are said to he making a show
of action with tank and plane
teams, but the Russians claim they
have failed to restore the positions
pierced by the Red Army.
Germans Claim Success
The German commands COM
munique said its bombers have hit
again at harbor installations and
utilities on the Caucasian coast OF
the Black Sea and that one big
Russian tanker was damaged.
German fighters were credited in
the dispatch with the destruction
of % planes without loss TO their
own ranks.
In the southern sector, the Ger
mans said that local Russian at
tacks had collapsed. In the cen
trail and northern sectors above
Karelia, Germans and Firms are
said to have exacted heavy Rus
sian losses in defensive battles.
