Experts DepIore
Lack of Chutists
In Dieppe Raid
Dive Bombers Also w
Would Have Raised
Cost to German Army
BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE
United Press stan Correspondent

LONDON, Aug. PA detailed
study of the Dieppe raid in prep
aration for more big-scale attacks
convinced observers today that the
Commands would have achieved
a smashing victory instead of a
moderate success If they had en-
plnNed- diVe-hombeES- and para
chutiSts.
Although the nine-hour attack
constituted the Understanding,
most highly integrated land, sea
and air operation ever attempted
by the Allies, an analysis of the
raid revealed that its success was
limited, particularly in regard 10
losses.
Dive bOmbcrs. which constitute
one of tho chief offensive weapons
of the Germans, would have been
highly effective against some Ger
man Strongpolnts along the six
piappe- beaches where the raiders
landed. IT, was said, II was these
StrongpOintS that accounted for
large proportion Of the Allied
casualties.

NEEDED PARATRooPs

Observers also pointed out that
parachutlSts dropped around Ger
man artillery batteries back from
the beach could have taken the
gun crews by surprise and could
have seized control of bridges and
functions. preventing the enemy
from rushing up reinforcements
TO the beach.
Despite the deficiencies, howl

Dieppe rand as a worthwhile con-
trlbution 10 preparations for the
offensive that will carry the war

The British still contended that
their planes like the Hurricane
bomber and the Kitty bomber
which attack leyclly from low alti-
iude and then become fighters are
better than the dive bombers.
This contention IS based largely
on the reports of veteran British
pilots who say that the Junkers-S7.

slow and cumbersome and almost

vantage to be gained by the
attack on Dieppe.
The striking thing about the
Dieppe raid is the perfect CO.
ordination of the land, sea and
air forces involved. The part
played by the air force is
particularly important.
The air force prepared the
way by preliminary bombing
of communication lines and
centers, such as the American
raid Monday on Rouen and
one by the Raj a few days
ago on lie Havre, both inn
portant centers near Dieppe.
In the Rouen raid. the
bombers smashed at round

week to an estimated output of L.
678 200 tons. the American Iron g.
Steel Institute reported today. The
rate Of operations will be at 98.8 per

In the preceding week operations

972 and 1851 900 tons and a year
ago 99.2 per cent Of capacity and
production at 1901 600 tons.
1t was the first decline since the
week Of January rs.
The small decline. coming on top
of four consecutive weeks in which
new highs In output had been
achieved, was looked upon in steel
circles as a natural development OF
such fast pace Of production.
1t was pointed out that when steel
mills get around the top in their
output drive, equipment Is strained
to the limit and temporary shut
downs of furnaces for small repairs
are more frequent. 1t was believed
an accumulation of such incidents
