Air War on Reich Far
From Knockout STAGE
Experts Believe
By the Associated Press.

b. n. Associated Press
The knockout stage of the Allied
bombing offensive against Germany
still is far in the future.
Official estimates are that the
combined blows of the United States
6th Air Force and the Raj thus fa1
have smashed only q small proper

ffth-of Germany's war potential
That estimate does not imply any
pessimism in the high command
concerning the air war, which al

in Nazi plans and operations. 1t
does point up official disquiet over
what is deemed to be an unwarrant-

but the mopplng-up stage.

IS attributed to tendency to inter
