strength on German airfields, rail centers and sea targets in northern France, Holland and Belgium to round out an offensive more mas sive than any previous series of day. light raids.
 A Berlin broadcast said 24 Amer ican four-engined bombers attacked a German convoy this morning off Terschelling, 8 Dutch island in the North Sea, dropping their entire cargoes of about 150 medium cali- Der bombs into the sea without damaging any of the ships.
 A mighty two-hour procession of British four-engined night raiders made the attack on Munich, birth place of the Nazi party, and preli- minary reports indicated that the attack was concentrated and effec- tive" the air ministry said.
 However, some clouds over the target made full observation of re- suits difficult. Sixteen bombers were lost. -
 Munich, a city of s2e,ooo in south er.4 Germany, Is a junction for rail ways radiating to Switzerland, Italy, Stuttgart, Nurnberg and Regens' burg and is the site of numerous aircraft and U-boat engine works.
 The exploding block-busters must have been audible even to Adolf Hitler in his Berchtesgaden hide out some 50 miles away. A Bern dispatch said flares of bomb bursts were visible against the horizon from the Swiss shore of Lake Con- stance, no miles west of Munich.
 Third Raid
 The raid was the third on south ern or southwestern Germany within; 24 hours. The RAF bombers hi the Rhineland war centers of Mann helm and Ludwigshafen Sunday night and American flying for dresses followed through with a day light raid yesterday on Stutt- gart.
 The industrial area of Munich iS concentrated well outside the old city, in the heart of which Hitler staged his abortive beer hall putsch many monuments cornmemorattng the Nazi party's rise to power are in the old city. Munich had been raid ed six times previously.

 Somewhere in New Guinea. Sept. s - CDelayed) - U.P0 - With General Douglas MacArthur in a Flying Fortress leading the way, a great Allied air fleet carried force of paratroopers into the Markham Valey today in probably the most accurate operation of it's kind ever staged.
 I watched the operation for four hours, until our plane was running on extra gas tanks. and saw the transports nearly skim the tree-tops to discharge straight lines of yart- coIored 'chutes across the green yellow jungleS and the valley grass lands.
 The entire force landed in few minutes to seize trategic positions, closing the Markham Valley west of the Japanese base at Lac, while landing forces drove in upon the enemy stronghold from the east.
 "Did they hit it7" I screamed over the roar Of the motor into the ear of Lieutenant Colonel Joe Law rle, 3I, Of SRa Antonio. TeKs an ofiiceF Of the paralF0op outfit,
 Right on the Eose," LawFle hol- lered back. "All three perlmeters perfect"
 Scores Of transports and hun. dFeds Of American and Australian paTaehullsts appeared before the Japanese knew what happened. It was one Of the largest paFasFoop operations in histoFy-pFobabiy the most perfect.

the greatest air armada ever used III the Southern Pacific area.
 we have closed the ring around Lac and Salamaua," MacArthurs communique said in announcing the successful use of parachute troopers for the first time in New Guinea.
 Attacking barely 24 hours after landing forces rushed ashore north- east of Lac to split the chain Of coastal bases held more than IT months by the Japanese, the para troopers apparently met little op- position in seizing objectives that completed the hemming of the gar risons against the sea.
 Under Pressure
 Salamaua, under pressure from land forces, lies approximately 25 miles, southeast of Lac, where the amphibious troops already were m plantation country nine miles from the base.
 Thus, victory in the newst phase of MacArthur's offensive to roll back the Japanese from their advanced bases would result in capture of a stretch of coast along Huon Gulf nearly 50 miles long.
 The enemy force was expected to fight the death but its defeat ap- peared certain since 1t was separ- ated from all support because ot Allied air and sea control.
 The number of parachute forces used in the attack was not revealed but they were dropped by scores of transports onto the green valley floor while Liberator and smaller bombers, protected by fighters, dumped 94 tons of 1000 pound bombs to reduce the main defenses around Lac.
 The communique reported that a heavily fortified bastion at Heath's plantation north of Lac was wrecked and that attack bombers shot 60,000 rounds of ammunition and dropped many Augmentation bombs to si- lence gun positions in the Markham valley and areas adjacent to Lac.
 Some of the Australian artillery units that made the jump never be- fore had bailed out of plane. Others had made only one previous parachute jump.
 Enemy Surprised
 "The operation completely sur- prised the enemy's ground troops engaged on the north and eastern Hanks" the communique said.
 The enemy forces were clements of four Japanese divisions originally placed in the area.
 The continual air offensive in both the South and Southwest Pacific to keep enemy forces at various strong points pinned down continued as Macarthur pushed the New Guinea drive.
 Chief target of weekend opera tions was Gasmata, New Britain north of New Guinea, where Cata- linas carried out raid Saturday Heavy ground fire cost two Allied planes. Other Catalinas damaged four enemy planes on the ground at Cape Gloucester, New Britain. Lorg range fighters destroyed four barges near Borgen Bay.
 On Sunday morning Mitchells strafed Finsch harbor, up the coast from Lac.
 In the Southern Pacific sector, Flying Fortresses bombed Kahili air. drome on Bougainville in the ncrtll- ern Solomons. Two of 20 enemy fighters encountered were shot clown against loss of one Allied fighter. All types of bombers hit at Villa, on Kolombangara in the New Guineas, causing heavy damage.
 Nine enemy medium bombers raided Allied positions in southern Dutch New Guinea, causing only slight damage.

mi inland to Delianova, thence to San Stefano,, to Reggie Calabria and southward to Melito. Objective of the coastal drive appeared to be the western side of the 5o-mile wide bottleneck on the Peninsula be. tween the gulf of Eufemia and the gulf of Squillace. H
 Seizure of Delianova, 10 miles east of Bagnara, put the advancing troops in control of the western end of a mountain road across the end of the toe of he Italian boot to Marina Di Bovalino, on the east coast. Thus they were in position to snip off the area quickly.
 Artillery brought up to Palrni, c town of 1S,000, dominated the coast al road junction of Gioia Tauro, 10 miles beyond.
 The movement ahead was Bols stered continually by reinforce- ments arriving across the Straits of MeSsina and communique report ed opposition was slight.
 Ar Blows
 Flying fortresses, Mitchellg and Marauders participated in the air blows against the Naples area, where damage was described aS great. Rail targets from IS to 4S miles from Naples were blasted with the bombers attacking through an overcast sky. For planes were missing from all operations.
 A headquarters announcement revealed that Allied tanks had been landed across the Straits of Mes- sina and were in operation on the mainland.
 Throughout yesterday, our troops continued to advance, although hampered by extensive demolitions and difficult country" the ground forces communique said. "Opposi. ton 50 far has been very slight"
 Reinforcements and supplies con. tinued to pour into the rocky toe o1 the Italian boot from Sicily, the communique added.
 A naval communique said that the supply by sea of the invading army was continuing without in. termission" and revealed belatedly that the British destroyer HMH Quilliam had passed through the Straits of MGSsina Sunday and provided the necessary gun sup. port of the left flank of the army in the Bagnara area" Officials of AMG-Allied MilitarI Government of occupied territory were disclosed to have landed iB Italy and taken over the civil ad- ministration of Reggie Calabria San Giovanni and other occupied territory on the Calabrian benin. sula.

Washington, b. O., who was co. conpanied by his wife. said his car was behind those which were wrecked.
 "All the cars in front seemed to be wrapped around the bridge and completely demolished" he said. "A commander of the Navy came through my car and asked all the service men to go out and aid the injured. Shortly afterward a coast guard detachment came up witt ambulances, stretchers and supplies and we were able to get to work.

 He warned against the tendency to feel that the submarine menace had been whipped.
 We have no reason to believe that we have disposed of it," Knox de- clared. We will not completely dis pose of the submarine menace until the end of the war. It's been dim finished, no question of that, but not eliminated"
 Knox said helicopters in their present state of development cannot carry enough bombs and lack suf- f1cient speed to meet the needs of anti-submarine warfare. He said the Navy has ordered some helicop- ters of an experimental type but that they have not yet been deliv- cred.
 The secretary said he had nothing he could report on the Marcus island raid because the carrier task force has not yet broken radio silence.

 D. J. Brown, 70, who was sleep ing on the second floor, told police he was awakened by smoke.
 T woke up choking" he said, "and turned on the light. The smoke was so thick had to feel my way to the door. I heard men running in the hall. Some of them were crying for help in their rooms. l shouted to couple of my friends in the next room and then got to the stairway. don't know whether they got out or not. I've been walking around for hours trying to find them. guess they're up there burned to death.
 Hhe hotel burned for three hours before rescue squads could enter.
 Some 40 survivors, attired only in underwear, were herded into corpo- ration court where police endeavored to take statements. Many were too terrified to talk.
 Broken glass filtered the sidewalks in front of the hotel and many of the injured had been cut when they fell from the windows onto glass
 W, A. Wheeler, 59, ran down stairs wearing his hat with only a sheet wrapped around him. He tried to borrow a pair of pants from 6 policeman.
 T couldn't see a thing because of the smoke" he said. T just felt around for the sheet, put it over my shoulders and felt my way to the stairs. I stumbled over some fellow on the stairs and helped him to his feet. We made 1t to the lobby okay and got out in the street.
 Some poor guy was sitting on the curb crying because he had left his watch up in the room. He told me he had owned the watch for almost 50 years.
