1t was the second night in success
sion that the big British bombers
had carried their destruction to the
maze of steel mills and heavy indus
trial plants in the Ruhr.
British aircraft also laid mines in
enemy waters during the night, it
was announced.
The Berlin radio gave the first in
formation concerning the presence
OF the bombers, announcing they
had flown over Northern and West
erin Germany.
The radio declared six British
planes had been shot down. but ad-
mitted civilian casualties and dam
age in several localities.
Meantime four Fock-Wulf fighter
bombers made hit-and-run attack
on a rural district and on a south
east coast town. One bomb struck
a bungalow and killed an occupant.
The three previous Raj raids on

Fire in So|omons Raid
Sontu IsobeI Equipment
Set AbIoze; Two Zeros
Begged in Second Foruy

The Navy lost two medium
bombers in raid on Jap install
lations in the Solomons in cir
cumstances which indicated that
the enemy has been able to in
stall additional anti-aircraft
equipment on Santa Isabel Is
land, it was announced in a de-
partmental communique here
today.
Reporting on three engagements,
two in the Solomons and one in the
Aleutians, the Navy said two Jap
anese Zero planes were shot down in
raid on Bougainville Island when
they attacked Flying Fortress. Nc
United States planes were lost in
this raid.
However when q force of Martin
Maurauder medium bombers at
tackled enemy installations al
Rekata Bay on Santa Isabel Island
they were greeted by enemy anti
aircraft fire which knocked down
two Of our ships.
In the engagement the American
flyers started fires and damaged
two enemy float type planes Rekata
Bay is 135 nautical miles northwest
of Henderson Field on Guadalcanal
Bougainville Island is 300 nautical
miles in the same direction
The Solomons raids took place
January 7 (east longitude time) and
the Aleutians raid on January Z

Liberator planes dropped bombs or
enemy positions at Kiska as another
in a series of raids against the Japa-
nese there. Results were not OBJ
served.
Naval observers who recalled
earlier raids on Rekata Bay which
met with little resistance believed
the japanese have sneaked undeter-
mined amounts of equipment in

Spuutz Made Head
Of All Air Units
On African Front
By IVES GALLAGHER,


ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, Jan. 9.-The
United States Air Force has
struck one of the heaviest blows
of the war at Bizerte, a vital Axis
supply port, with big four-mo-
tored Flying Fortresses bombing
it on three separate raids, it
was announced today.
The attack conceded with the
news from 1t. Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover, Allied commander in North
Africa. that United States Maj. Gen.
Carl Spaatz has been made COM
mander of new Allied air force on
that front:
Gen. Spaatz will supervise not
only the 18th United States Air
Force under Maj. Gen. James H.
Doolittle but also the RAF under
Air Vice Marshal Sir William L..
Welsh and such French units as
may serve with the Allies.
Five U. S. Fighters Lost.
Five American planes were lost, all
p-38 twin-engined lightning fighters.
In the raids on Bizerte.
The Fortress raids were said to
have formed one of the most con-
centrated attacks of the campaign
on single target carrying out their
hombings despite ground fire and
fighter opposition.
The hombers shot down four planes
over Bizerte, which is rated among
airmen as one of the hottest anti
aircraft areas in the world.
Enemy docks in Tripoli also were
attacked
Operating along the enemy supply
line leading south from Kairouan
toward Gabes, American medium
bombers-B-25 Billy Mitchels and
B-26 Marauders-left the trail in
havoc in widespread raids on tank
concentrations, railroads and air
fields.
Patrols Active in Tunisia.
There were no reports of land
action on the Northern Tunisian
front except patrol activity.
Deep in the south, however.
French forces we're reported to have
raided another enemy post and
taken some prisoners.
This presumably referred to the
same action which, the Fighting
French announced in London, re-
suited in the capture of Ell Gatrun,
southeast of Murzuch in the Libyan
desert, and TT prisoners by an ele-
ment of Brig. Gen. Jacques LIE
Clerc's native camel corps troops.
While bad weather hampered the
Raj, which reported destroying one
German plane and losing one of its
own, the French Air Force was
credited with downing seven enemy
planes in widespread activity.

Lack Of Teamwork
Caused Rubber Crisis,
WPB Official Says
BIomes Military Chiefs
For Scheduling Mixups,
Competition for Supplies
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Proper planning months ago
by military authorities RESPONSE
BILE for production scheduling
could have averted the rubber
crisis threatening the Nation
because of competition for equip
ment needed in the synthetic
rubber and other vital war pro-
grams, an official of the War
Production Board declared to-
day.
The decision now before the White
House Is one that is all but impos-
slble to make, he said. 1t involves
finding a microscopic distinction in
comparative Importance of the pro-
gram for rubber, aviation gasoline
escort vessels and aircraft. The
problem is to rate these programs in
terms OF urgency to the war effort.
Limited supplies Of materials and
equipment are insufficient for all,
and the larger shares must 60 to the
programs judged most urgent.
The officials said it was another
example Of setting up competing
programs which are too large to be
carried out. a matter of biting off
more than We can chew" This all
ment has beset the Nation, particu-
larly in the earlier days of this war
and in factories shut down last sum-
mer for lack of material.
Then 1t was materials which were
too scarce to go around; now it is
components, such things as delicate
instruments of all sorts. valves, con-
densers, motors. boilers, used ex-
tensively by all the competitors.
Cites Delay in Production.
Production of these components
should have been stepped up sharp
ly months ago when the programs
were set, the ofiicial declared. In
the case of rubber, it's approximate
size was established last summer.
If it appeared humanity impossible
to produce all components to be
needed. the program should have
been shaved then, not now when
all are under way. At that time,

Hospital Planning
May Mean 100000
Waste, Fleming Says
U. S. Must Pay Fees
Even if Projects
Are Not Finished
BY PAT JONES.

The Is projects that make up
the District hospital expansion
program, few OF which have
been granted priorities by the
War Production Board, will cost
the Federal Government nearly
$250,000, regardless of whether
they are completed.
This was learned today in a re-
port from Maj. Gen. Philip B. Flem-
ing, Federal Works administrator
that the FWA had obligated itself
for more than 100000 in engineer
ing and architectural fees even be-
fore applications for priorities were
filed with the WPB.
The outlay involved in these fees
is in addition to expense created by
FWA in proceeding with preliminary
details on the construction end of
projects with the understanding
that the work was an emergency
measure and would be carried out
The major instance of this was at
Georgetown Hospital. At Sibley
Hospital, where plans were started
expense and inconvenience were
brought on the institution itself
rather than the Government.
Contracts Explained.
Gen. Fleming explained that the
Federal Works Agency's obligations
were involved in contracts entered
into directly, through the Public
Buildings Administration or through
the sponsors of the projects.
He said it was done in good faith
after the projects had been ap-
proved by the United States Public
Health Service, the agency which
determines the medical necessity of
such FWA undertakings, and after
assurance that the projects would
be set up had been obtained from
every source except the WPB.

explained that it was necessary for

Flynn Announcement
OF Diplomatic Position
5tirs Many Questions
White House Surprised
At Revelation Before
Name Goes to Senute

Edward J. Flynn's announce
ment that he is quitting the ma
tional Democratic leadership for
an unexplained diplomatic as
Signment to Australia left the
Capital doing a lot of guessing
today.
Mr.. Flynn announced in New
York late yesterday that President
Roosevelt had appointed him his
Ambassador and personal repre-
sentative" and would send to the
Senate Monday his nomination as
Minister Plenipotentiary to Aus
tralia.
He also called the Democratic Ma
tional Committee to meet in the
Mayflower Hotel here at 1890 am.
next Monday. He said he would
submit his resignation as chairman
at that time.
No White House Statement,
White House officials, apparently
surprised at Mr.. Flynns unusual &C
in advance of the formal submission
of his nomination to the Senate, had
no explanation for his use of the
terms of both Ambassador" and
Minister A White House spokes-
man said only there will be no
statement from here tonight
friday"
Mr.. FLYNN refused to comment
today when neWsmen questioned
him in New York on his announce
ment of the appointment. He said
merely, Il would rather you get
that answer from the White House. -
One of the chief questions left
unanswered is the future role of
Nelson T. johnson, present minister
to Australia and former Ambas-
sador to China. 1t was not clear
whether the move would affect Mr..
johnson, since Mr.. Flynn said he
understood the President would
explain that Il have more or less a
rowing commission in the South
Pacific as the Presidents personal
representative and Ambassador.
Since the rank of the present
American envoy to Australia is
that of Minister. Mr.. Flynns an
nouncement raised confusion over
whether his appointment would
mean raising the rank of the post
to that of Ambassador.
Walker Seen Successor.
If Mr. Flynn meant that he will
replace Mr.. johnson as Minister to
Australia, it was considered likely
that Mr.. johnson might return to
his former post as Ambassador to
China.
Another question to be answered
involves Mr.. Flynn's successor as
chairman OF the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. and speculation
centered around Postmaster Gen.
eral Walker.
While both points normally might
seem simple of solution, the White
Houses mo statement" reply to the
Flynn announcement left the field
wide open for customary Capital
guessing games.
JOhns0n's Return Hinted.
Mr.. Johnson's return to China has
been limited by recent unconfirmed
reports that Clarence E. Gauss,
present Ambassador to China, would
be given another post.
Mr.. Walker has been discussed
frequently as Mr.. Flynn's likely sue
cessor, since the cabinet post usually
is paired with the unpaid chairman
ship by both parties. However, while
Mr.. walker has been termed one of
the Presidents key conf1dants, he
has stayed in the background Of the
publicized political picture more
than most Of his predecessors in the
Post Once job. and there was some
question as to whether he would
choose to pick up the party reins at
this point.
