Hamburg Raids
Less Costly Than
ON London

LONDON, Aug. s tUP)--Evi-
dence Of economic employment Of
air power is revealed by the Raj
assault on Hamburg in which
Germany's second city has been
wrecked AZ a cost OF SS bombers
and between 600 and TOO men.
The RATS feat of dropping
$500 tons Of bombs on Hamburg
in a few raids represents larger
tonnage than the Luftwaffe
dropped upon London during the
whole bltz period.
NAZIS' AIR LOSSES
During the blitz, the Luftwaffe
lost approximately $500 airplanes
Of all types. About half of the
German effort was directed at
London. so II may he estimated
that 1900 Of the planes were lost
against the capital
That works out Ior ratio of
one plane per five tons OF deliv-
cred bombs.
The RATS Figures work out TO
one plane lost per los tons of
bombs delivered. Nazi losses in
clude both bombers and fighters,
making the personnel losses lower
per plane
But the startling disparity In
losses more than makes up for
the mau-ioSs difference.
ECONOMY IN TIME
Evonomy in time of delivery
also stood out in the Hamburg
raids, which averaged As 10 50
minutes each. The impact is
comparable only 10 the famous
World War l preparatory artillery
barrages in which thousands of
guns were massed for simultane-
Gus blasts
Fifuring the average cost OF an
Raj bonat-rr at 100000 and the
average cost of training the crew
al an equal amount, the cost of
destroying Hamburg roughly
amounts 10 S74,000,000.
German figures on casualties
are believed TO be low. Before
the last Hamburg raid, the Ger
mans estimated about 5000 dead
The London blitz casualties from
approximately the same weight
of bombs were three times that
number.

Sources of Vital Ore Traced.
Tantalite, used among other
things, for contact points in radio
tubes and carrying the highest mill
tary priorities, was the subject of
correspondence in December, 1941,
involving OPM, the State Depart
ment and RFC. March 13, 1912, the
War Production Board recommend
ed that RFC purchase 1000, 900
pounds. AS of April 10, 1912, Mr..
Wallace reported, none had been
bought. BY December 81, BEW had
purchased some 322, 900 pounds. BEW
adopted an aggressive program of
tracing down every possible source
Of an ore which occurs only in very
small and scattered deposits"
OPM, on September 5, 1941, rec
commended RFC buy reasonable
amounts" of chromium from Brazil.
This is used in manufacturing flares,
signals, tracer ammunition and
blasting caps. But RFC had not
bought any by April 13, 1912, accord
ing to Mr.. Wallace. BEW directives
arranged purchase of 21,575 short
tons OF chromium ores by Decem-
ber 81, of which $500 were from
Brazil.
For two years, Mr.. Wallace re-
ported, quartz crystals, "the use of
which is so utterly important to
some of our war industries" have
been critically scarce.
Attacks RFC Purchase.
During 1941 and early 1912, he
added, the RFC agent in Brazil
bought 1000 tons. He was paid
commission of ~ per cent on his
gross purchase, and ''he bought
these crystals without checking to
see whether they were of the quality
needed. Over IS per cent of them
weren't. The Government lost be-
tween 100000 and $6,OOO,OOO, and
we have heard that United States
quartz fabricators began raiding
museums to get usable crystals"
RFC replaced the agent, but gave

him equally lucrative work in New
York, and the new agent in Brazil
began eliminating dollar losses the
easy way" Not q pound OF quartz
crystal was purchased by the Metals
Reserve Co. for six months, said
Mr.. Wallace. BEW finally had to
send top official to Rio ito get
public purchasing resumed" Mr..
Wallace said he felt BEW personnel
should have fought "the delaying
tactics" Of RFC more vigorously in
this instance" BEW also insisted
on inspection facilities In Rio, so
that the crystals could be tested
before payment and shipment.
Mr.. Wallace charged RFC with
"beaucratic, obstructionist tactics"
while the need for quartz crystals
was critical. The Vice President
said he had to spend a morning
with Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Clayton
and the BEW Brazilian agent who
had returned to Washington "fed
up with RFC obstruction" Finally
this "log-jam" was broken.

Germans Admit Allied Use
Of Carriers Was Surprise
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, June 29.-Reichs-
marshal Hermann Goering's Essener
National Zeitung said in copies re-
ceived here today that the Allied use
of aircraft carriers to protect con-
voys came as surprise to the Ger
mans who have been forced to alter
their submarine tactics.
The newspaper said the German
Admiralty was attempting to devise
new methods of attack and this ex-
planned the reduction in U-boat
activity.
Tn long war, the superiority of
big powers will alternate" the paper
said. German U-boat pack tactics
were a surprise to the Allies. Then
the use of airplane carriers came as
a surprise for the Germans"
The paper significantly gave no
figures on June sinkings, but said
that, prior to June, submarines had
sunk 100000 Allied tons. (This
hgure was not confirmed elSeWhere.)
Some time ago Secretary of the
Navy Knox said that dozens" of
new auxiliary aircraft carriers were
In action and that many dozens
more would be in operation by the

OF jute, another commodity which
must be imported, Mr.. Wallace said
that on September Is, 1941, OPM
directed purchase of 10000 long
tons. Most of it comes from India.
-Four months after Pearl Harbor,
he added, RFC had bought only
1,210 long tons, although the stu
alton in India during this period
was highly uncertain"
Also, on September Is, 1941, OPM
recommended purchase of 100000
short tons of sisal, a hard fiber
needed particularly in making binder
tWine for harvesting grain crops.
The following April 13 RFC had
bought approximately $4,000 short
tons against this urgent directive"
At the end of 1912 BEW had nego-
tiated contracts for approximately
10000 short tons, all to be pro-
duced by June, 1945, of which
