$1,000 Tons Of Bombs
Dropped on Reich
In Last Month
Two-Thirds Of TotuI
Directed at Industrial
Centers in Ruhr Area
b. the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 24.-A deadly
cargo of more than $4,000 tons of
bombs has been unloaded on Ger
many in the last month by giant
British bombers and two-thirds of
the total has fallen on industrial
centers in the Ruhr Valley, where
the Nazis themselves admit I'm
credible" devastation.
According to BRUSH figures, TO-
900 tons of explosives rained ruin
in the period from May % to June
p on seven arms centers in that
area-Dortmund, Essen, Wuppertal,
Bochum, Oberhausen, Krefeld and
Muelheim.
Joining the Raj in this German
described battle of the Ruhr."
American four-engined bombers
struck the synthetic rubber plant at
Huls June % in their first venture
into the highly industrialized val
ley, OF which Propaganda Minister
Paul Joseph Goebbels once said:
The destiny of the Ruhr is the
destiny Of Germany itself"
The valley already has become the
most bomb-battered area in the
world and the British say there is
more still to come in the steadily
mounting Allied air offensive
against all is-dominated Europe
Called Worlds Best Target.
The Ruhr, which has 81 per cent
OF the hard coal of Axis Europe, 81
per cent of the pig iron, "a per cent
OF steel lngots and castings, still re-
mains, in the words of one high
British official, the worlds best tar
get"
You can't pick up a coal mine
and carry it away" he declared.
And Germany's transportation is
strained already to such an extent
that moving plants would seriously
impede production"
Only three Ruhr towns of any con-
sequence-Gelsenkirchen. Hamborn
and Herne-have not felt blow by
a major RAF force, one big enough,
In the Air Ministry's own words, to
wipe out city of 100000 population
in one night.
Industrial production in the Ruhr
was said on June to have fallen
about IS per cent under 1912.
The NaziS are making no attempt
to conceal the devastation. In ap-
peallng to other parts of the Reich
to pitch in and aid the refugees, the
Berlin radio admitted the destruc-
ton was incredible"
100000 Homeless.
Lord Selborne, Minister of Eco
nomlc Warfare, estimated on June
10 that million homes in the Ruhr
had been destroyed. leaving up to
10000 persons homeless.
The Importance of this in its ef-
feet on the Ruhr was seen in the
Cry of the Frankturter Zeitung, quot
ed by the London Express, that "the
housing of homeless cannot be con-
Sidered the task of the government
only. but of everybody"
The effect of the 10000 tons of
destruction heaped on the seven
cities of Dortmund, Essen, Wup-
pertal, Bochum, Oberhausen, Kre-
field and Muelheim-with an aggre-
gate population of under 100000
can be gagged when it is recalled
that the heaviest weight of bombs
dropped on London in one raid was
less than 500 tons and the total for
30 nights was only $500 tons.
