RobouI May
Be Finished

Allied Headquarters, Southwest
Pacific, Oct. 15.-(UP)-New Allied
air blows all along the vast South
Pacific battle line were revealed TO-
day, amid increasing speculation
that the damaging raid on Rabaul
New Britain, earlier this week may
lead TO the virtual abandonment OF
that understandable Japanese
stronghold.
A communicate from Gen. Douglas
MacArthur's headquarters disclosed
that the Rabaul assault was pre-
ceded by a strong American raid
against the Kahili airdrome on Bou-
granville Island In the northern
Solomons, 300 miles southeast OF
Rabaul.
In an apparent effort to knock
out the last remnants Of Japanese
air power In the Solomons, q force
OF more than 100 American planes
hammered the airdrome Monday
The raiders set big fires raging
throughout the base, silenced anti
aircraft batteries, wrecked buildings
and blew up O bridge. Twelve OF
Is intercepting enemy fighters were
shot down without loss to the Amer
lean formation.
1t was the second straight attack
on the Kahili airdrome. More than
100 American fighters and bombers
dropped more than TOO bombs on
the field Sunday and destroyed II
attacking fighters.

WPB Admits
Bad Guess
On Newsprint

Washington, Oct. 15.-(UP)-Mat-
thew G.. Sullivan, assistant director
Of the War Production Boards
printing and publishing division, to-
day hoped for issuance Of a new
limitation order on the use Of news
print under which there would be
fewer inequities and fewer grants
Of extra-quota tonnage.
He told the house newsprint In
vestigating committee that q survey
currently underway would furnish
the WPB newspaper industry ad-
Visory committee with much more
accurate information about the
industry than heretofore has been
available.
Sullivan described as "a guess-a
bad guess" industry estimates that
the original limitation order, under
which publishers were limited to not
more than l03 per cent Of the weight
of paper used in printing the net
paid circulation In 194l, would re-
suit in q 10 per cent use cut during
1943.
He said the order did not achieve
this goal because the expectation
was too high. 1t turned out to be a
bad guess" he said, because: GD
the spread between net press run
and net paid circulation was not 10

visory committee estimated, and, (2)

Moscow, October 15.-(UP)
- German occupation forces
were reported preparing to-
day 70 withdraw from the
Crimea to avoid entrapment
by Russian land exit from the
Black Sea peninsula.
Front reports said the Ger
man Gefenses of the entire
southern Ukraine were on
the verge Of collapse after the
fall of Zaporozhe, industrial
stronghold on the Dnieper
bend.
General Rodion Y. Mali
novsky's army was reported
pouring through the breach
In the Zaporozhe- Melitopol-
Crimea line in a race down
the Dnieper toward the Pere-
kop Isthmus, the capture OF
which would isolate the
Crimea by land.
Melitopol itself was afiame as the
Russians battled through the streets
as was Gomel at the opposite end OF
the Dnieper river defenses. Between
them the Russians were beating
down fierce German counter-blows
before Kiev and tightening their
grip on the Ukrainian capital.
The massive battle Of the lower
Dnieper rapidly neared o decision
as the Russians hurriedly mopped
up at Melitopol In order to join
Malinovsky's men in the push down
the cordidor between the Dnieper
and the Sea Of Azov.
The railroad through Melitopol
was cut, leaving the Germans o
precarious wartime railroad from
the Perekop Isthmus to Kherson as
their only escape route from the
crirnea.
Soviet armed forces also were
hammering the eastern Crimea
across the Kerchenski Straits and
by air were pounding teh last rail
line out OF the Peninsula, obliging
the Germans to hasten their aban-
donment Of the Crimea.

and carrying 900 men - yes
terday in a raid that crippled
and perhaps destroyed plants
producing half Of all the
bearings required by the Ger
man war machine, 1t was re-
vealed today.
The giant four-engined
bombers encountered the
greatest fighter opposition
yet seen in the European
theater, an official statement
said, and, with the aid Of
fighters which escorted them
part OF the 900-mile flight,
shot down at least 1O4 ana
perhaps 149 enemy aircraft.
Only two of the escorting
Thunderbolt fighters were
lost.
Returning crewmen re-
ported that the targets,
three roller bearing plants at
Schweinfurt in central Ger
many, were left wreathed in
smoke and flames, but only
later reconnaissance photo
graphs can prove whether
the results justified the cost
to the Allies in men and ma
chimes.
A statement from American Army
Headquarters here said that the
bomber crews were "jubilantly con.
fldent that they had done q good
bombing Job again" and described
the damage to the bearings plants
as a severe blow to German pro-
duction."

Early Decision Expected
On ; Tokens for Quarter

An early decision may be ex-
pected on the arguments of citizens
association leaders for sale of street.
car and bus tokens at the rate of
three for Is cents, instead of six for
30 cents, James H. Flanagan, chair
man of the Public Utilities Com
mission said today.
He also announced the PUG soon
would take up in executive session
the petition filed yesterday by the
Maryland and District Industrial
Union Council calling for heavy re-
ductions in token and weekly pass
costs, which the CIO group said were
justified by increased earnings of
the Capital Transit Co.
At the close of yesterdays public
hearing on the three for a quarter
token issue, John H. Connaughton
argued that considerations of con-
venience and necessity warranted
the change in the token rate, but
Lloyd B. Harrison, PUG counsel, said
convenience and necessity questions
were not involved in rates.
Edward F. Harris, president of the
Federation of Civic Associations tes-
titled in favor of the three-for-a-
quarter plan, and S. Hoffman, pres
ident of the Barry Farms Associa-
ton, opposed it.

City Heads Approve Plan
To Administer Nurseries

The Commissioners have approv-
ed an organizational plan for ad-
ministration of nursery schools and
other child care programs to be
financed by Lanham Act funds,
Conrad Van Hyning, retiring direc-
tor of public welfare, said today.
Further progress in the journey
of the application for funds was in
dicated also by the fact that DR..
Frank w. Ballou, superintendent of
schools, has approved the master
project budget for nursery schools
and after-school projects. The
school superintendent, said Mr.. Van
Hyning. who was chief of the Ci-
william Mobilization Division of the
local OCD until his resignation
Saturday, is suggesting some modi-
fications in the project budget to
make it conform with school space
and other factors.
The organizational plan and
project application for Lanham
funds will go to Federal Works
Agency for approval very soon, Mr.
Van Hyning said. If approved as it
stands, the five-month allotment
will provide for 10 nursery schools
to open in the District before June
80. At that time another applica-
ton will have to be made to con-
tinue the salaries and other costs
of the child care projects.

10000 OHousingU Units
To Be Built Here bv
Mid-Ju|y, Lusk Says
Total Of New Projects
Will Be 10000 by
June, He Predicts

Rufus s. Lusk, national repre-
sentative of the Home Builders AS
sociation. last night predicted that
during the next six months 10000
housing units will be built in the
Capitals Metropolitan Area. Ad-
dressing a meeting of the Society of
Residential Appraisers in the Of
fees of the District Title Insurance
Co.. Mr.. Lusk estimated that by next
June 10000 units, many of which
were started three years ago, will
have been completed He said these
comprise 13 per cent of the total
housing units in the Metropolitan
Area.
Mr.. Lusk pointed out that during
the World War. only $500 housing
units were built here. During that
time, he noted, 10000 additional
workers came into the Metropolitan
Area as compared with the 145,C00
added in this war. He predicted
that the war increase in Federal
employment would reach 10000 by
next summer.
Mr.. LuSk SAID that surveys nave
shown that war building here has
increased so times over that of the
1917-18 period
The speaker said he believed there
may be a tapering off in housing
needs if the Government reduces the
demand for workers or continues its
! program of transfers.
However, he predicted there will
be tremendous" demand for pfi-
vate housing in the $4,000 to 5000
class. He said those now owning
homes in the $4,000 range will wan,
to buy larger and better homes.

local chapter, presided at the meet

Drive Still Going TO Buy
Bibles for Servicemen

Although the Washington City
Bible Society already has reached
it's goal in a drive for 81 500 to buy
10000 pocket Testaments for dis
tribution to servicemen, money still
is pouring in, DR.. w. L. Darby,
society president, said today.
The drive, originally scheduled to
last year, was started last oc-
tober l..
The American Bible Society, OF
which the District society is an
auxiliary, already has given more
than 300, 900 Testaments to service
men all over the country. Although
some of the books are marked for
overseas distribution, DR.. Darby said
most of them will be sent to
Protestant chaplains in this country.
The Washington society, which
will meet tomorrow to elect officers,
probably viii decide to continue the
drive, Dr. Darby said.
The largest single contribution
has come from the National Hospital
Service Society, which gave $3.50 for
1000 TestamertS.
