The British announcement. made
some time after the Berlin radio

that the attackers scared over Ger
many in strength.
AS after the attack March |. when
the German radio was quick to an
nounce the raid and to minimize it's
results, the Berlin broadcast last
night said that the raid almost
completely failed But reports via
neutral countries after the March
raid indicated that 1000 Berliners
had been killed in that attack.
The bombers came during the
moonless hours to strike with high
explosives and incendiary bombs,
the broadcast said. but mostly

Steps Taken 10 Check
Argentine Smuggling
Uruguay Moves to Keep
Goods Imported From U. S.

MONTEVIDEO, March 27-Semi-
official sources said today the gov
ernment was taking strict measures
to halt the widespread practice of
smuggling to Argentina a large va
riety of articles imported to Uruguay
from the United States.
These sources said President Juan
Jose Amezaga and Minister of the
Interior Hector Corona ordered
quick action after the United States
Embassy complaind that the illegal
re-export traffic defeated the pur-
pose of the United States export
licensing system and the distribution
of cargo space for respective imports
by Uruguay and Argentina.
Automobile parts were reported
the main line of the smuggling traf-
fic. which also included fiuorescent
lamps, radio tubes and textiles. The
business was SO widespread, these
sources reported, that Uruguay was
practically stripped of automobile
parts.
One step to halt the traffic is a
plan to cancel the licenses of some
importers who sold big quantities
OF American goods that they knew
would be sent to Argentina.
1t was pointed out that Argen-
tina's larger market and restricted
imports combined to intensity the
demand for some articles and raised
prices to such levels that the snug
Cling trade was highly profitable.

$4,000 Nazis Killed
Since Feb. lin 0re|
Sector, Russians Say
News Is First in Weeks
On This Front; Other
Areas Reported Quiet
BY he Associated Press.


BY me associated Press.
LONDON. Sunday, March 28.-
Russian troops have killed $4,000
Germans since February l in
fighting on the approaches to
Orel, Nazi-held hinge of the CEN
tral and southern fronts, Moscow
announced today.
A Soviet information bureau
broadcast recorded by the Soviet
Monitor here said 10000 Germans
were killed in February and 5000
in March, and this was the first in
formation in weeks concerning the
Orel sector where the Red Army
offensive had been checked within
20 miles of the big Nazi base.
The statement said $500 Rus
slams were killed since February l..
The announcement was issued as
a denial of German claim that
Al Russian infantry divisions, and
II infantry and 18 tank brigades
had been wiped out in the area.
I'VE never had that many troops
in this sector" the bureau said,
"and if so many troops have been
destroyed who is it that is now
grinding to pieces the German
forces on this sector of the front?"
No Essential Changes.
The regular midnight COM
munique issued shortly before the
announcement said there were no
essential changes on the long Rus
sian front.
Still holding the initiative on the
central front, one Red Army unit
was said to have cut it's way through
barbed wire entanglements and
mine fields to capture two popu-
lated places.
Two hundred Germans were
killed and captives and war mate
rial taken, the bulletin said.
In the Belgorod sector of the
Southern Donets River front where
the Red Army was on the defen-
sive, the communique said the Ger
mans at the cost of heavy losses
succeeded temporarily in driving a
wedge into Russian positions. But
heavy Soviet counterattack hurled
back the enemy to his original posi-
tions, and two companies of Nazi
infantry were wiped out.
Nazis Lose Two Tanks.
The Germans lost two tanks and
one self-propelled gun in this un-
successful effort, the bulletin said,
and Russian troops also beat off
several enemy attacks farther south
along the middle reaches of the
Donets defense line.
But all these actions were minor

With the draft of fathers ex-
pected to be necessary within

mine which shall be called first.
Unless specific instructions are
given, draft boards will have to call
family men according to their or
der numbers, as provided by law.
Ban Not Yet Lifted.
No "pre-Pearl Harbor fathers"
are supposed to be called, however,
until draft boards receive a notice
from national headquarters that
the ban on calling fathers has
been lifted and, even then the
boards. are not supposed to send
fathers for induction until all other
available categories have been ex-
hausted.
When fathers are taken. those
whose jobs are not listed as "es-
sential" will be called for induc-
ton before men classified as en-
gagged in essential work In other
words, draft boards will continue
taking ga men in each depend
ency category before 3B men.
The only exception to the present
rule against taking fathers applies
to men whose jobs are on the nom
deferrable list. They face induction
beginning Thursday unless they
have registered with their United
States Employment Service office,
when they will be given months
grace under the regulations.

We||es Defends Steps
To End Anti-Jewish
Prejudice in Africa
Declares Charges Made
By Baron de RothschiId
Presented False Picture

Undersecretary of State Welles
yesterday defended measures
taken to end anti-JeWish dis
elimination in North Africa
against charges by Baron Ed
Guard de RothSchild that they
constituted a 'monstrous heresy."
The State Department also an
nounced that an Americana British
conference on the refugee problem
aimed at working out new means of
aiding victims of NaZi racial and
political persecution. will be held at
Bermuda soon.
Baron de Rothschild asserted in a
statement issued in New York last
week that actions of Gen. Henri
Giraud, French commander in North
Africa. on the racial question were
"muddled." and that abolition of the
Cremieux decree of 1870 actually i'm
posed new injustices on the Jews by
depriving them of citizenship.
Charges Branded "Untrue."
A copy of the statement was sent
to Mr.. Welles, who wrote Baron de
Rothschild yesterday that it gave
"a completely erroneous picture" He
quoted a report from American rep
resentatives in North Africa declar-
ing that several of Baron de Roths-
child's specific charges were "un-
true"
The CremieuX decree discrim-
mated between native Jews and
Arabs in Algeria. making it easier
for Jews to obtain French citizen
ship. Its abolition makes both equal
before the law, with Algerian Jews
as well as Algerian Arabs now re-
quired to make formal applica-
ton for citizenship
Baron de Rothschild charged this
action "deprives of their French cit
izenship French citizens born on
French SOIL" and would make an
ticipated elections in Algeria null
and void" by depriving many citi-
zens of their voting power.
