Raymond Clapper Says:
Bombardnent OF Nazis
Is Beginning To Hurt

Il is insanity as the handiest pam
acea for their headaches. When
the Nazis begin to cry that some
of our people are brutal ogres,
k. ling .heir people, perhaps we
ale beginning to be really effec-
tive. That is the best tip to US
tc lay it on heavier than ever, to
bling in planes, crews, bombs, and
send them out in ever larger force,
still deeper into the v-tals of Ger
many.
For years the German people
have been making war on the rest
of the western world, in other peo-
pies territory, and now they are
getting a dose of it that has long
be en- needed.
What I like about our side is
the cool calculating way we are
going at this. Nothing is more
touching than to see Air Chief
Marshal Harris in his home, with
the beautiful and young Lady Har-
ris, and with their 2-year-old
daughter on his knee. Also there
is nothing more terrifying than to
Re on the other end of that pair
IF blue eyes when they are turned

Nobody enjoys a vacation with his
family at the beach more than
Lieut.. sen. Carl Spaatz, the rank
i1e American air officer in Africa.
You should have seen one ecstatic
young air general getting in the
mail a snapshot of his 4-year-old
caughter and delaying his confer
ence on the next raid until he had
showed it to everybody and told
everybody about her. In their per-
sonal relations these bombing
chiefs may be reasonable, kind
shy, and have no more brutal i'm
pulses than country parson. But
their job is using this new weapon
OF mass destruction, and they are
rightly making it as deadly and
destructive as possible.
l am glad to report they are
making most encouraging prog
ress.

dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister

"U-BOAT PRISONER" by Archie
Gibbs; (Houghton Mifflin; $2)

Harry Maule, one of the more
astute publishers editors, says
that from now on war books will
have to take their chances-in
other words, the public has got
past the stage of buying indiscrim-
inately whatever has a war angle.
The real difficulty has been that
each publisher has tried to have
at least one book on every phase
of the war effort. There have been
three dozen recent shorties on par
ticular and often unimportant ac-
tions, for example, none of which is
of the least value for the future,
since each must leave out for rea-
sons of national security the very
detail that would make them USE
full.
Archie Gibbs "U-Boat Prison
err is a perfect example Of this
class, but it has something time
less to recommend it that has
nothing at all to do with its war
angle. This is the story of Gibbs
himself, his birth, his early life,
and then his experiences in the
merchant marine and as a most
unwilling. but deeply interested,
guest of the German submarine

LONDON. BY Wireless) Another
piece of evidence indicating how
far the war has turned is that the
German radi3 this week has be-
gun a personal attack on Air Chief
Marshal Sir Arthur Harris, chief
Of the RAF Bomber Command. The
Nazi radio is now building him up
as an ogre who is numbering Ger
man people. Nothing could more
clearly reveal how much the Allied
bombing is hurting the Nazis.
Only this week I saw English
workmen with picks tearing out
brick window walls from some
buildings, these having been in
stalled for protection during tn e
blltz on LONDON. While this re.
moval IS an i1dex of the changed
state of the war, I hope the British
will not be too quick to remove
all reminders of what the air war
against them has been.
Air war is terrifying and brutal.
That is one of the best things
