London, May "a. - (UP)
- A British Armada appar-
emily numbering close to
1000 aircraft smashed the
big Nazi industrial center of
Dortmund in the flood-dam-
aged Ruhr valley during the
night with the largest ton
mage - more than 100000
pounds - of high explosives
ever dropped in a single raid.
The dumping of more than 1000
tons OF bombs on Dormund's cleo
trio, steel, coal and other war works
added to the Ruhr valley havoc
caused by Raj bombing of three
dams, which loosed flood waters on
German industrial centers includ-
ing the Dortmund area.
Three out of every four Of the
Raj planes in the Armada, which
was said to be well over 500 planes
and not far short of 1000, were
four engined craft, 1t was reported
unofficially.
Pilots reported that something
really big blew up with tremen-
dous explosion during the raid
which started huge fires in the
western part of Dortmund. Thirty
eight British planes were lost.
Despite lack of details, there APP
parently was no question that the
attack was the greatest ever staged
by an air force anywhere. 1t eli

the Raj and American Air Forces

Allied attacks also continued from
the Mediterranean area, where
heavy bombers and fighter bombers
blasted Pantelleria Island, Sardinia
and San Giovanni on the Italian
mainland, continuing series Of
raids that have knocked out approx
mately 800 Axis airplanes since last
Wednesday.
The Dortmund attack, however,
overshadowed all other raids.

HOME FRONT:
FDR Meets Labor Leaders

Answering labor's complaint
against the sterilization of wages in
the face of 5 per cent increase in
the cost of living since last year,
President Roosevelt promised ALL
and CLIO leaders that the retail prices
would be rolled back through pro-
ducers' or professors subsidies.
FDR met with the labor leaders
even as there were rumblings of
discomfort among the railway unions
over wage raises. The non-operat-
ing railway union was kicking be-
cause Economic Sterilization Direc-
tor Fred Vinson had set aside an
eight-cents-an-hour pay boost rec
commended by government media
ton board, while the operating rail-
way unions claimed they were Gin
suited by another mediation pam
els award of four-cents-an-hour
increase after they had asked for
three dollars day.
In hearings before the War Labor
board, Alabama and eastern coal
operators objected to new contract
between Illinois operators and the
United Mine Workers, which would
boost daily wages between $3.50 and
SITS by increasing the working day
to 81 hours, including all travel
time to and from the pits.

ITALY:
Ne,U Difficulties

To add to the Allies difficulties
in Italy, heavy rain has slogged the
countryside, and new burdens have
been imposed on the lines of COM
munication bringing supplies to the
front.
Because Of the inability of motor
vehicles to operate over the muddy
and mountainous terrain, the AL
lies are relying increasingly on
horses, burros and mules. But they
are finding it hard to obtain them
since the Germans took most of
these animals out of southern Italy
or shot those they could not take,
and the Fighting French have been
unwilling to give up the horses, etc.,
they have in North Africa for fear
of breaking up their mounted units.
Encouraged by Allied difficulties,
Nazi Marshal Kesselring repeatedly
has reinforced his army fighting a
logged delaying action in the rugged
country. After retreating from the
Volturno river line, the Germans
took up positions on the 2,5O0-foot-
high Massico ridge, where they were
expected to make another stand be-
fore dropping back to the mountains
farther north.

Try to Maintain Morale

On October II, 1918, Germany's
General Eric Ludendorff declared:
1.-THE tension of the individual man
has reached degree which cannot
be increased"
Not long after Germany cracked
under the strain, and steely, dynam-
ic General Ludendorff fell apart with
the rest. Today, Germany's Hitler,
Goebbels and Goering remember
1918, and the Nazis are working
feverishly to hold up the peoples
morale against the Allies shattering
air attacks.
Hitler has ordered the construc-
ton of underground concrete hospit-
ais in battle zones, as well as first
aid posts and auxiliary hospitals in
the cellars of the most solid build
ings. Newspapers are carrying on
a concerted campaign to educate the
people in treatment of eye injuries
caused by the heat, smoke, dust,
glass-splinters and phosphorus clouds
generated by bombing raids.

48-HOUR WEEK:
For More Production

To meet the demand for record
production, the War Manpower COM
mission ordered II different areas to
go on 48 hour week, and advised
112 others to prepare to shift to the
longer work period.
To make up for the shortage of
manpower, the VINO determined on
the 48 hour week to get more pro-
duction per person. Previously, the
43 hour week had been in effect in
40 out of II areas where the VINO
had declared labor scarcity exist
ed. Now, the remaining 81 areas
must go on the longer week.
In the other 112 areas, the VINO
saw the possibility of labor short
age. If such shortage impends,
preparations will be made to meet
it before it occurs to interfere with
production.
The 48-hour week already has been
instituted in such industries as log
ging, non-ferrous mining and smelt-
ing, and iron and steel.

GOLD:
u. S. Holds T,UO.thirds

Of the worlds gold supply of SO
billion dollars, the U. S. holds % bill
lion dollars, or two-thirds, while the
British Empire controls almost four
billion dollars.
Of the remaining gold supply, over
four billion dollars is in the hands of
Germany and Japan as result of
their conquests. Germany itself pos
sesses no more than % million dol
lars of gold, while Japan has 1854
million dollars. South American gold
stocks approximate one billion dol
lars.
Interest in the gold supply height
ened with indications that the U. S.
and Britain intended to make the
precious metal the basis for world
currency after the war, with the
value of all money being founded
upon the gold reserve behind it.

Japs Build dir Bases

While they are slowly being
squeezed out of the Solomons and

are feverishly constructing string
of bomber and fighter bases on the
Celebes islands and the Dutch East

Reconnaissance by Allied planes
reveals that the Japs have laid many
new concrete runways in these ter
ritories, and are laying up stores of
supplies in warehouses spread
around these air centers.
Apparent purpose of these air
bases is to thwart any move Cen

make from India to the north.
