The Berlin raid was only part
of the British offensive last night
Smaller bomber forces struck at
detectives in Western Germany and
laid mines in enemy waters while
fighters carried out intruder pa
trolls over France, the air minis
try said
The announcement tat 19 bomb
ers were lost last night in all op-
erations indicated, on the basis OF
an average loss OF 5 per cent, that
at least $50 planes participated.
Informed sources believed that at
least 1000 tons of bombs, ranging
from 8000-pound blockbusters to
two-pound incendiarieS were cas-
caded on the German capital by a
powerful force Of Lancaster, Stir
ling and Halifax bombers. A night
ly average of 1000 tons has been
maintained in the raids.
Clear weather over Berlin enabled
the bombardiers to pin-point their
targets, which conceivably ranged
from factories turning out subma-
rine parts to government build
ingS.

All participating planes were
four-engined bombers, it added.
The sky was free from clouds
and visibility hardly could have
been better" the communique SAID.
The crews saw all the major land
marks plainly-the River Spree,
lakes and many well-known build
ings.
"A pilot who stayed inside the
ring of defenses for Is minutes,
said there were many Searchlights
but the flax was not up to Berlin S
usual standard and was not in
tense once he was inside the outer
ring of defenSeS.'
First word that the raid was the
heaviest vet made on Berlin came
from Capt. Harold Balfour under
secretary of state for air, who ju'-
bilantly told an art exhibition au-
dience:
Berlin got it heavier last night
than it has ever had so far.
Balfour also reported that the
Anglo American day and night
aerial offensive was preparing the
way for our united forces to in
wade Europe.
A few hours before the British
bombers arrived over Berlin, Ameri-
can bombers based in the Middle
East blasted another of the great
cities of the Axis, striking again
at Naples, Italy's second port, in
daylight.

AMERICA WATCHES THE
CRUCIAL BOEING AFFAIR

America is watching a tense drama IN
the Boeing workers challenge Of the War
Labor Board.
VIII this be a final showdown? Or
will one side back down?
What happens will allow every voter,
with eyes to see, something of great i'm
portance Just what il may be and what
II may mean, depends upon the outcome
There are four parties to this declar-
alton Of war by the diScontented workers:
the Boeing workers and their supporters.
the employees in other airplane plants;
the War Labor Board and its supporting
political theorists; Congress. which
threatens a Observation-Disclosures law;
and the people who are getting sick and
tired Of the whole setup.
No matter what happens. the public
must not be content to let the matter
rest until permanent, ironclad, fair but
not indulgent law has been laid down
with definite penalties for those who
break it.
If the labor unions back down. it will
only be because they realize that they
revealed themselves for what they are:
selfish. unpatriotic. self-grabbing organ
izationS.
If the Labor Board weakens, it will be
revealing itself as subject to dictation
by any sizeabe group in the labor ranks.
If congress fails to pass specific
non-strike law to apply to all war indus
tries such failure will brand that body
as playing politics during wartime and
not acting for the betterment OF the ma

LONDON. March 2.-tUPD-Brit-
iSh bOmberS made their heaviest
raid of the war ON Berlin last night,
smashing at the German capital in
concentrated assault that carried
the greatest aerial offensive in his
tory into its seventh day.
Nineteen bombers were lost in the
Berlin attack and in subsidiary
raids Oh Western Germany, the
air ministry announced.
The bombers lost in the Berlin
attack included two from the Roy
Al Canadian Air Force.
Reports indicate that results
over Berlin were good" the COM
muniqUa said.
Though Berlin had been raided
81 times previously, never before
had such great weight of demoli-
ton and fire bombs been dumped

The "thunderbolt" assault was
concentrated into a half-hOur, the
air ministry said. but in the first
minutes alone huge fires leaped
up in the target area. Bomber
crews that came later said they
saw the, fires % minutes before
they reached Berlin.

nearly 200 miles from Berlin.

HOOVERS ADVICE
ON MANPOWER
(Santa Monica Outiook)


The case against further drafting Of
men Immediately for the armed services,
IN defiance of the essential needs Of agri-
culture and war industry, received an
able summing up from Herbert Hoover
in his testimony Tuesday before the sell
ate committee on manpoWer.
Cautioning against the fatal error OF
OEerStrain on the home front. Mr. lIoov
tr declared that the key to the question
is shipping. which at present puts an ab-
Solute limit on the numbers of men and
the amount OF var materials which we
can send abroad. This being So sol
ders and sailors, tanks and guns. need
not be produced faster than they can
pass the shipping bottleneck, provided
ample provision is made for reserves
against 1914 Mr.. Hoover did not mean
that the nation should relax its efforts.
On the contrary: We must increase our
efforts and our supply Of workers by
every possible means. But we can bet
ter afford to take a little more time about
drafting additional millions Of reserves
for our army than to fall down in our
production OF food for our allies and
ourselves.
A long time ago, one Of the worlds
greatest generals declared that an army
marches on its stomach That Napoleon
ic dictum is followed by all modern arm
les. who take great care that their sol
dierS shall be we'll fed and we'll clad
Yet while modern war has depended on
the concept of fully modified nation
throwing all its human and material re
sources into the struggle our military
leaders have been slow to realize that the
modified home front must also march
on its stomach.
From this point Of viow-and it is the
one which should govern our policy in
long War-Nr, Hoover appears to be a
wiser general than those who want an
II 900, ,000-man army.

Ally Planes Ready
ToPounce on Jap
Transport Fleet

GEN. MacARTHUR'S H EAD-
QUARTERS, Australia. March q
GUPD-Fleets of Allied bombers
were believed massing today for an
all-Cut attack on a huge japanese
convoy moving toward New Guinea.
1t was the first japanese move to
indicate the reason behind the enc
my's concentration of forces in the
islands north of Australia, which
had been underway for weeks. 1t
was revealed in Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's communique today and
indicated that the japanese had
been concentrating for offensive
rather than defensive action.
FIRST SIGHTED
The communique said that yes
terday afternoon, when the convoy
was first sighted, weather condi-
tionS were such that an aerial at
tack of the sort that in the past
have wrecked Japanese attempts to
reinforce their New Guinea forces
was impossible.
The convoy, of IA vessels, inclCd-
| ing WarshiDs and one Of the larg-
est the japanese have ever aimed
/ at New Guinea, was moving behind
| a storm front which seemed made
/ to order for the japanese" a
spokesman at Gen. Macarthur
| headquarters said He added that
Allied air fleets were preparing to
attack the instant weather per-
mitted
| APPROACHING GUINEA
The convoy was first sighted on
Monday afternoon off Uibili and
Allied reconnaissance planes shad-
owed it along the north side of New
Britain island until it was off Tala-
sea, approximately 230 miles north
east of Lac, Japanese base on New
Guineas Huon gulf.
The news followed the warning
contained in yesterdays commu-
nique that the arc of Japanese
held islands north of Australia
was being constantly reinforced.
On the northeastern New Guinea
front, Allied ground patrols from
the Coma area destroyed four large
japanese barges in the mouth Of
the Waria river. This was the first
mention OF Allied ground activity
that far north along the New
Guinea coast and it may be that
the convoy carried reinforcements
for hard-pressed japanese forces.

SHOULD BOEING WORKERS
GET A RAISE?

While the important issue is not Wheth-
er the airplane worker should receive
an increase in salary, the mind and
temper Of the worker is partially reveal
ed by consideration of their demands.
Heretofore starting wages have been
62E per hour. They want 95c per hour
AS A BEGINNING WAGE.
Statistics from Washington, DC, show
that the average airplane plant worker
labors 46 hours week. (That's about
ten or fifteen hours less than a farmer or
small business employer now labOrs)
AT 6222 cents, the beginner would re-
ceive pay for 40 hours straight time and
six hours extra at time and one-half. His
total pay, therefore would be S3062E.
Not bad for a beginner.
If the scale is increased to 95 cents,
the same beginner would be receiving
S46.65. That's for raw, unframed, in
experienced apprentice.
And if the compulsory 48-hour week
applies to the Boeing area, the beginner
would work AZ hours, get paid for so
hours, and earn S49.40.
That doesn't sound so good to people
in farming communities.
Think it over.
