Can you read the story in this little girls eyes?

But it is the eyes of the children which
haunt me most - of babies born in village
stations, of little tots on refugee-packed.
strafed roads, of dazed children who had
lost their parents, of grown-up- night
children standing courageously by their
mourning mothers, of the wild children
who snatched my food from cafe terrace
table, of the starving children who scram-
bled after rotten oranges on railroad sid

after month in the undergrounds.
And then l came home. And found
people saying, "Oh, well. the war is as
good as over" Stacking up after each vic
tory. Taking day off. Canceling an

Mothers" on this very page, Robert Keith
Leavitt said: Every day lost by some
body's self-indulgence means day added
at the end when somebody will have to
fight" Yes, and it means another day of
starvation and suffering and mental tor
ture for children. to whom we must look
for the building of the better world of
tomorrow. If they die, whether in body or
soul, the victory will be hollow.
WE MUST get this unwanted war, this
terribly destructive war, this child-con-
suming war Von And there is just one way
to do that We must fight on, every one
of us, every day, with every ounce of our
strength.
The next time you are tempted to re-
lax, to let down, to take day off. to quit
on some war effort, remember this little

She is looking at you.

Three . Front Bombing Campaign Rocks Axis
Allies Dropping Record Tonnage of Explosives on Ger many and Italy; Raids Directed Primarily at
 U.BOat Bases
RY HARRISON SALISBURY fIlnlaea Press CNkreSnNndelltl

London. April 15.--(UPl-For the first time since the start of the war, the Axis now Is rocking un- der a three-front Allied bombing offensive which is dropping Q rec ord tonnage of explosives on Ger many. Italy and occupied territory,
 The United States Army Air Force and the Royal Air Force have been carrying on unprecedented attacks directed primarily at the German war industries in the Ruhr, the u-hoat bases and facilities, and transport mediums.
 Since the start of the closing phase of the battle of TuniSia, American and British long range hombers based in Africa and Malta have joined in with steadily mount ing attacks on the Italian maine land, Sicily and Sardinia.
 Now the Russian Air Force has opened up a third major bombing sphere with two heavy raids on Koenigsherg, East prussian base and communication center, in the AoSt xeW QaySa
 Whether the Russians plan to maintain long range bombing pres- sure against Germany is unknown, but speculation arose that the raids may he connected with apparently developing German moves against Leningrad.
 Koenigsherg is known as one of the chief German bases in the rear for the northern front in Russia.
 The Soviet attacks were believed to have been carried out by the Red Air fleets counterpart of the Ameri- can flying fortress. The Russian bomber is known as the Tp6. It has a reported range of about l.2OO miles with a e000-pourd load.
 The TB6 is q four-motored bon1- Der equipped with 1.l00-horsepower HiSpano engines. It is used pri- marily for night bombing, and therefore is not believed to be as strongly gunned and arniered as the fortreSSes, the worlds most heav- fly armed and armored bomhers.
 Koenigsherg is the closest major German target to the Russian homh- ing bases. but Q raid on that city probably involves Q round trip flight of about 900 miles.
 Only sporadically during the war have the Russians engaged in long range bombing. probably because the planes have been needed for

Long Hill Contract On Houses Delayed
Award, Scheduled Tomorrow, Postponed Pending New Specifications; Extensive Rock Ledge Discovered
 By Federal Engineers Prompts Action

Award of the contract for con- Struction of additional housing units at the federal project at Long Hill will not be made tomorrow as plan- ned, The Democrat learned today, but will be postponed until Q later date. Recent soil borings and tests at the site revealed extensive rock ledge and federal engineers are rec qusting that new specifications be prepared on this basis.
 Last week the National Housing Agency advertised for bids on con- struction of l3 two-story and ls one-story dwellings at Long Hill, as well as a Community building and Nursery school. These bids were to be opened tomorrow afternoon at o'clock in the aldermanic chamber, but The Democrat has been inform ed that all prospective bidders who had secured plans from the site architect, Ebert J. Richmond of l74 Grand street, have been notified that the date of award has been set back and that new plans will be prepared for their consideration.
 City officials were concerned at the announcement when it was first brought to their attention, as they already have advertised for bids on @ sanitary sewer to be built on War; ner street. Bids for this project were to be opened next Monday. However, federal officials have already cons ferred with Mayor John S. Monagau 1t Is understood, and have assured him that there is no need for con- cern and that the sanitary sewer may be constructed as planned anC as advertised.
 Further tests of the Long Hill site are now being made and Frank J. Robinson, regional site selectol for the MIA said yesterday that Inc believed results of these would show that it would only be necessary to shift the exact location of some oI the proposed new dwellings. Inas- much as the federal houses are cell larless there will be no trouble in their construction despite the pres- eilce of ledge under the top-soil, but fear was expressed that too much rock would be struck in bringing the city's new sewer line from Warner street to the new homes to be serv- iced.
 MT. Robinson believes that the two-story dwellings will be built as planned, but that 1t may be neces- sary to shift some of the one.story structures, as well as the Commun- fly building. The Nursery school will not be affected, as plans call for

 London, April l5.-(UP)--Adolf Hitler appeared to be working fran. tically today to enlist the aid of his Balkan satellites in advance of 8 possible Allied invasion through that troubled land after the Tunisian Inop-up.
 German radios broadcast propa- ganda Stressing Rumanian coopera- ton with the Axis following Hitler's conferences this week with Ruman- ian Premier Ion Antonescu. One comment emphasized that the meet- ing "felped solve the question" of massing Europe for the next Nazi efforts.
 4 London radio report said Hun garian Prime Minister Nicholas Kalley was next on Hitler's con- ference list. ObDervers figured Hit Ter may be trying to settle Rumano ian-Hungarlan territorial argu- ments before invasion time.
 The importance of these meetings was illustrated by transocean news agency dispatch broadcast by Berlin radio which quoted the Es- sener National Zeiturg as saying: Total mobilization Of all reserves for the impending stage of war is today of paramount importance for the march to final victory. The meeting without doubt helped solve the question"
 The conferences were being held as invasion fears increased along the entire southern European coast particularly in Italy, whose army has taken heavy blows in Africa and whose land stretches down to with in a short plane hop from Allied Tunisian bases.
 Madrid dispatches said that Ger man engineers, dissatisfied with de- fense works in Greece and Mediter- ranean Islands, called upon Italy for 30,000 workers to hasten fortifi- cations. German Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel was said to be en route to Greece nd Bulgaria to inspect defenses. Some reports said Hitler had named inspectors for the Italian Army and Navy.

American Lieutenant Re- quests More Planes for
 Southwest Pacific

Somewhere in New Guinea, April l4.-(Delayed) Gen. George 0. Kenney, aircommander in the southwest Pacific, said today that the Japanese "haye too many airplanes around these parts for comfort" giving them numerical su- periority over the Allied air force.
 We are outnumbered, and I don't like being outnumbered," Kenney told a press conference following his trip to Washington. where ne requested more planes for the south west Pacific.
 Kenney said the Allied airInen in this area are "doing pretty well" tn combat operations. but added:
 'sThe thing to remember Is that if we shoot down one of the enemy's aircraft. he replaces 1t within a few days. Their planes can reach the islands three days from the factories. Ours must be shipped. and It's a long haul from the States"
 He said the Allies were practically forced to- shoot down four or five Japanese planes for each one they lost in order to keep tine score straight.
