Super -BottIeship
Believed Out for
Allied Conveys
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 21.-The Ger
man super-battleship Tirpitz was
reported today to have left her
refuge in the Norwegian port of
Trondheim and to be patrolling
Arctic Sea lanes under the cover
OF Nazi warplanes in search of
Allied conveys.
The report was the first intimation
of activity by the great warship
since last July 9, when the Russians
announced that one of their sub
marines had scored two torpedo hits
on her in Arctic waters, thus foiling
Nazi attempt to smash a big Allied
convoy.
The Tirpitz was said to have holed
up in Trondheim Fjord after this
attack, hiding there during the long
summer days when her movements
could easily have been checked by
aircraft had she ventured forth.
Favored by Longer Nights.
With the longer nights of autumn,
however, the battleship would have a
better chance of slipping undetected
along the Norwegian coast and
thence into the Arctic shipping
lanes leading to Russia.
Observers here said the Germans
obviously were calling on every
means at their disposal in an at
tempt to smash Allied conveys tax
ing vital war materials to embattled
Russia.
Only yesterday the German high
command reported that Nazi planes
and submarines had sunk 38 mer-
chantmen in six-day running bat
tie with a 45-ship convoy in the
Arctic.
While the German claims were
characterized here as exaggerated.
unofficial sources believed that
losses on the Russian supply route
undoubtedly have been heavy.
In Hiding Much of Time.
Thus far the Tirpitz-the might
est, most costly unit in the German
Navy-has played an entirely mega
tive part in the war. Much of the
time she has spent in hiding from
assaults by Allied bombers and
submarines.
In June, 1941, she was reported
damaged during a Russian aerial
attack on the once free city Of
Danzig. She did not again appear
in the news until March, 1912, when
she was spotted off the Norwegian
coast by the British, attacked by
torpedo planes and driven to shelter
in a ford.
1t was believed on that occasion
that she was sallying forth for an
attack on Allied supply lines.
The Tirpitz was launched at Will
helmshaven on April /, 1899. She
has been listed officially as a $4,000
ton ship, but the British say she
probably is 10000 tons or more.
Battleships Believed Ready.
The reported temperance of the
Tirpitz followed by only "a hours a
statement by First Lord of the Ad-
A. v. Alexander which was
interpreted by unofficial naval ex-
perts as indicating that Britain's

Suspension Of the annual me-

on the Commissioners today at
public hearings on the 1914
budget estimates, as various civic
spokesmen called for a limita-
ton of next years outlays to
avoid municipal tax boosts.

line would be saved by postponing

Nelson Tells Legion
Pinch Seen in Yeor;
Convention Votes to
Admit New Veterans
BY the Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 21.-Don-
aid M. Nelson. chairman of the
War Production Board, warning
that the country must accept a
very much lower standard of
living" in order to win the war,
asserted today: 1--WE have hard
ly begun to feel the pinch, so far"
I'VE are going to feel it very
acutely before we are a year older" :"
he said in an address at the Ameri-
can Legion's National Convention.
ut is my considered opinion that
we are going to have to cut farther
and more deeply into our civilian
economy than even the British
themselves have done yet-with the
single exception of food.
We are going to have enough to
eat throughout this war, and we
probably will not have to put any
very drastic limitations on our
range of choice in that regard, but
IN almost every other respect we
are going to have to be ready to do
Wlthout-and do without-and do
without until this war has been
Won"
Living on Fat So Far.
Mr.. Nelson explained that the
country hadn't yet felt the pinch
OF war yet because our shelves
were full"
We have been living on our fat
so far in this war. Believe me
we arn't going to have an ounce of
lat left in another year. Well be
down to bone and muscle because
we have to get down to bone and
muscle in order to win"
Right now, he pointed out, approx
lmately 40 per cent of the country's
production was going for war, with
an increase to go per cent by next
year. All of this means no more
luxuries, no more gadgets, no more
comforts 3" /" except what we simply
must nave If we are to keep
fighting"
AS an example of what 1t means
to put victory ahead of everything
else, Nelson used the American auto
mobile.
We have upwards of Is million
passenger cars in America today
Our country has been rebuilt around
those cars. If they should all
break down this country would be
hoIelessly crippled.

Wide Areas Of Munich
Devastated by Raj
In Heavy Night Raid
Fires Visible 100 Miles
Away; New 5000 Pound
Bombs Used, British Hint
Ry the Associated Press,


LONDON, Sept. 21.-Broad
sections of Munich, birthplace
of the Nazi party and site of i'm
portant German war industries,
lay devastated today under the
weight of a smashing RAF at
tack which returning pilots said
touched off fires so vast they
could be seen 100 miles away.
Details of the assault were un-
folded last night after the Air Min
istry had analyzed reports of bomber
crews which winged their way home
ward after dawn yesterday from the
daring 1,300-mile round "trip as
sault-the 18th night raid on Ger
many this month.
The attack on Munich was ac-
companied by another raid on the
oft-bombed Saar industrial region
in Western Germany.
While the exact number of planes
participating in the Munich raid
was not disclosed, official reports in
dicated the destruction caused
rivaled that sown in other German
cities which have been the targets
of some of the RATS mightiest as
saults.
10 British Planes Lost.
The British reported the loss of
10 planes during the night. ASsum-
ing that these losses amounted to S
per cent, observers estimated that
upward of 200 aircraft took part.
The Air Ministry said the raiders
were over Munich for 30 minutes
and loosed tons of big bombs as well
as many incendiaries.
Iondon dispatches limited
strongly that the Raj had en-
played some of its new 5000
pound bombs as we'll as the 40O0-
pound block busters used in
many previous massed assaults
Advices from Switzerland, where

alerts, said the detonations of bomb

far inside the Swiss borders.

model fighters and bombers in

mass production despite the opin-
ions expressed by some air experts
that the Germans would be unable
to make major changes in models
during the heat of the Russian
campaign.
The latest German fighter was
reported by the Russians yesterday
to have made its appearance in
