Senator Wheeler read a telegram
from West Coast businessman

workers are being "hoarded" in some

Senator Austin, Republican OF

that claim is true, the mere post

service legislation, under which the
assignment of workers could be reg

Marshall said Allied information is
that Germany and Japan have be-

than the three Axis powers had in
1912. He said this is due to the fact
that Germany has created go divi-

Allied Bombers Blast

In France, Holland
BY the Associated Press.

| LONDON, Sept. 20-American
and British bombers escorted by
| fighters streaked across the Eng
lish Channel in large formations
yesterday to blast away at Nazi
airflelds and industrial targets
in France and Holland.
The daylight attacks followed up
sweeps over industrial targets in the
Rhineland Saturday night by the
hard-working RAF Mosquitoes and a
continuation of the mine laying

| Command
American Marauders, escorted by
Spitflre fighters which shot down
two German planes, bombed the
Nazi airfield at Lille in one of yes
terday,s forays. Three Allied fight
ers were reported lost.
Raj Typhoons pounded airfelds
at Merville in Northern France and
Woensdrecht in Holland, while
Mitchells struck industrial targets
near Bethune in France.
Large Formations Used.
The raiding formations were de-
scribed by observers along the
British coast as large, but did not
compare to the fleets which earlier
In the month maintained a steady
schedule of blows at Nazi targets in
France and the Low Countries.
Meanwhile. the RAF announced
/ further details on the results of the
recent nine-day air assault on the
German seaport city of Hamburg
In the period between July "a and
August 2 an area of nine square
miles, or n per cent of the total area,
was destroyed at a cost of 81
bombers, reconnaissance showed. The
Raj made four raids on Hamburg
and American Flying Fortresses
made two.
Weeks of study of photographs
and intelligence reports showed the
once-f1ourishing city of 1,8O0.0 900

at least, almost ceased to exist.
Altogether, between 5000 and 5000
acres-about nine square miles
were devastated.

That is nearly 100 times Coventry's

60 times greater than the principal

| The built up area of Hamburg
which was destroyed includes the
city proper and its suburbs.
The Raj dropped approximately
7,840 tons of bombs on Hamburg. but
the additional tonnage dumped by
the Fortresses has not been revealed
In their biggest raid on Coventry
400 German planes dropped 45(
tons in nine hours-a rate of almost

The British troops who captured
Gioja, the headquarters spokesman
said, encountered no Germans, but
only extensive minefields and BOBBY
traps.
There was little news from the
British 9th Army, which now has
advanced some $50 miles from the
southernmost toe, but it was con-
sidered probable that the German
withdrawal reported by the Invaders
near Contursi might have been
caused by the 9th Army cutting due
north past the Salerno bridgehead.
In sweeping out on the Sorrento
Peninsula, the Allied forces mounted
direct threat to the port of Naples
from yet another side. Amphibious
forces have taken over all islands
Immediately off the port

The marshal, who formed his gov
ernment on July 25, Immediately
after Mussolini was thrown out of
Office, told his people, do not forget
that all talk about unconditional
surrender is out of date and irrevel-
ant to the changed conditions OF
today. We have intervened de-
cisively against Germany following
on the aggressive attitude of the
Germans. We are cooperating side
by side with the Anglo Americans
who are now accepting our assistance
in the task of driving the Germans
from the country"
These and other sections of his
speech were the first public avoWals
from any source indicating that the
Italians probably will be accepted as
full -f1edged allies of the United Ma
tions in the campaign to drive the
Germans out of Italy.
Moreover the British and Amer

Forced to Fight Back.
The marshal conceded that when
the armistice was concluded lit was
our intention to lay down our arms
and abstain entirely from acts of
hostility against anybody"
Even after the Germans began
to attack us we were patient and
did not fight back, hoping these at
taCks were only isolated incidents
and not the result of a premeditated
plan of aggression against u.s." he
added. soon, however. we realized

of guerrilla warfare and gave them
instructions TO escape the country.

and dumps, attack isolated men and

give up. do not lose heart-persist" "
Badoglio's declaration was both
the first urging Italian soldiers and
civilians to attack Germans where
ever they find them, and the first
urging his followers to make war on
whatever Italian troops align them

miles southwest of Toxic.
Strong Pacific Ocean area forces
today conducted heavy raid on the
japanese bases on Tarawa Island
in the Northern Gilbert group and
on Napru Island to the west of the
Gilbert Group" communique
issued by Admiral Chester w. Nimitz,
commander in chief of the Pacific
fleet, said yesterday.
These operations were carried
out according to plan during the
night preceding and for a good por-
ton of the day of September 10,

Then the two task forces sailed
from the scene of their devastation,
maintaining radio silence to handi-
cap possible pursuit.
"Details of the operations are not
Immediately available" the COM
munique added, and there seemed
little likelihood they would be until
the fleet units return to their bases
Destruction Believed Thorough.
There was good reason to believe
however, that destruction of mill
tary objectives on the two islands
may have been thorough and per-
tralizing Marcus Island in the earlier
attack, the Navy raiders were over
the target for nine hours. Admiral
Nimitz' announcement yesterday in
dicated that the assault on TaraWa
and Nauru lasted at least as long
and probably longer.
Besides, the very fact the opera
ton could continue for the length
of time it did suggested the enemy
had been rendered helpless to re-
taliate or even to protect himself.
The attack was not the first.
Planes from another American car
rier force blasted targets in the Gill
berts and the Marshall Island group
to the north early in 1912, but sub
sequently long-range American
bombers attacked both Nauru and
positions in the Gilbert group from
bases in the Ellice Islands to the
southeast.
Such powerful task force actions
along Japan's far-f1ung Pacific de-
fense line may make it dangerous
for the enemy to concentrate his
forces in any area of his own choos-
ing. Thus, by being required to
spread his strength thin to cover
every point of possible attack. he
would become correspondingly vul-
nerable at every point.

La Guordio Sees Need
OF Drafting Men
For City Jobs

If any more essential employees
of city governments between d
and 38 are called for military
service. Congress should draft
men from 38 to As to replace
them in police, fire, sanitation
and similar departments, Mayor
La Guaroia of New York told
a JOINT congressional committee
this AFTERNOON.
Testlfying while the House and
Senate Military Committees
were considering the drafting of
fathers, the Mayor said he was
not asking that anyone be de-
ferred, but warned that munich
pal governments may break
down unless essential services
are kept going.
If Congress drafted the 33
to As group, he said, the Army
could Immediately furlough
them to work in essential mu-
nicipal departments in any city.
