American bomber commands

The damage includes, not merely
the wrecking of cities, but the

Soon American air forces will
be sharing the burden of night

dication that a test will be made
to see, as Mr.. Churchill said,
whether air will bring a collapse

The Nazis invented a word
"Coventryize'' to describe the
destruction wrought by tt cir
bombs and boosted that the pro-
cess would reduce England t o
rubble. They dropped $50 tons
of high explosive on Coventry in
one night; the Raj dumped g.
900 tons on Dortmund in one
hour. The British Bomber Com
mand has now dumped 100000
tons on Germany.
In addition American Flying
Fortresses and Liberators in day.
light raids are bombing German
coastal regions. particularly SUBJ

the lightning-fast British Mos.

people face the prospect of con-
stantly increasing t 9 m po Of

duction has risen 40 per cent

British Highly EIoted
Over News From Tunisio

Special Gable TO The Star and Chicago
Daily News.
LONDON, May 8-The dramatic
audiences with which the Tunisian
campaign reached its last phase
caused tremendous elation in Britain
late last night as the news of the
fall of Bizerte and Tunis was re-
layed over the radio at midnight.
Both the London and Moscow
radios. from the moment the special
eommunique arrived announcing the
Americans capture of Bizerte and
the British capture of Tunis, COM
menced high-pressure broadcasts to
the continent in all European Ian
euages.
The news was repeated throughout
the night at short intervals.
The elimination OF the British
9th Army's long and remarkable
push from Ell Alamein to the tip Of
Tunisia has naturally excited the
British people after three and half
years of war in which defeats have
been more numerous than victories.
But there seems to be genuine pleas
ure that the Americans and French
played important parts in the final
phase and that the fall of Bizerte
and Tunis were almost simultaneous.

To Probe Treatment
OF New Soldiers
Says Informants Claim
Methods |mperiI
Health of SeIectees
By the Associated Press.

Representative johnson, Repub-
lican of California, has asked the
War Department to investigate its
method of handling inductees be-
cause of letters he has received from
parents contending Army treatment
jeopardizes the health of thousands
of men.
On the basis of information at
hand, Mr.. johnson told reporters,
yesterday he has demanded the
Army not induct men before it has
enough equipment and camp facil-
ltles to provide proper care for them.
The boys are taken into the
camps before they are completed,
before there is proper hospitaliza-
ton and other facilities provided
and before there is sufficient cloth
ing to be issued" he declared.
Urges Gradual Training.
Mr.. johnson said he also had de-
manded that inductees not be sub
Jected to strenuous training AL at
once" which, he contends, is in
furious to their health. "Thev
ought to be given chance to
tougher up bit before being put
through the hardest paces," he COM
mented.
The Californian declared that in
ducteeS from warm climates had
been subjected to subzero climates
In Midwestern States for several
weeks before being issued suitable
clothing.
He also made public a copy of a
letter that a parent of an inductee
mad written President Roosevelt ask
Ing his prompt attention of Army
treatment of inductees.
g. The inductee, boy from South
ern California, was instructed to re-
port for service in his civilian
clothes, the letter stated.
IL Below at Destination,
He was Immediately shipped" it
continued, ito the airbase at Lin
coin. Nebr., where, upon his arrival,
the temperature was II degrees be-
low zero and where there was
no clothing to be issued to him, and
where he was housed in barracks
built OF nothing but plain boards
and tar paper. At this subzero
temperature he was forced to march
approximately 6 miles daily dressed
In nothing but light Southern Cali
fornia clothing"
AS a result. the letter stated, the
boys health had been seriously in
Jured. perhaps for life, by inflamma-
tory rheumatism.
Mr.. johnson said he had requested
that War Department omcials
properly reprimand" officers re-
sponsible for such neglect, not only
In this case but In many others
which had been brought to his at
tention.

toward the Black Sea northeast of

Pravda, the Communist party
newspaper, reported that German
right wing rests In an easily defended
range Of high mountains and that
1t will be dif1icult to dislodge them.
The struggle in the Kuban delta
currently is three-phased:
First is the drive for Novorossisk
with the Russians southeast and
northeast of the city although it is
not disclosed how near. 1t is uncer-
tain whether they have driven for
ward to the road which connects
NovoroSsisk with Anapa, a port to

Soviet troops are driving toward the

The third operation is north of
the Kuban River between the river
and the Sea of Azov coast, an area
containing the highway leading to
the Kerch Straits. The Red Army
is taking more villages and roads
in this sector, picking off one group
at time and pushing westward.
Despite the heavy pounding by
Soviet aviation. however, the Ger
mans manage to feed infantry re-
serves and tanks into the battle
areas, chiefly at night.
There has been no fresh news of
activity southwest of Velikie Luki
where the Red Army captured sew
eral villages in an advance that may
menace the Vitebsk-Leningrad Rail-
way. over which the Germans have
been moving troops and supplies
into Central Russia.

heavy artillery duels west of Rostov,
where the Soviet army holds the
initiative.
The communique also said almost
q battalion of German infantry was
wiped out and 81 German gun posi-
tions were battered into silence by
Russian artillery last night.
