and appeared to be well on the way toward that goal.
 "Hamburg'' Pattern
 The offensive was following the familiar Hamburg" pattern with the r-engined aerial dread- naughts concentrating on Berlin as often as weather and the smoke pail over the city permitted and with smaller forces of twin -engined Mos- quitoes keeping the capital on edge in the interim.
 The double force that struck at Germany last night was described by the air ministry as of "very great strength" and while Berlin was the main target, the formations which hit Stuttgart also were described as strong
 The ministry said large fires also were left burning in Stuttgart, par ticularly around the railway cen = ter" Stuttgart is the main rail- way junction for the movement of men and supplies to Italy and is the site of factories turning out air. plane and tank engines, as well as numerous other supplies for Adolf Hitler's war machine. It had been raided IS times previously.
 Small Retaliation
 In contrast to the sky filling Brit ish force which rocked Berlin and Stuttgart, two German planes bomb- ed the London area last night in the face of heavy anti-aircraft barrage. A number of persons were killed in a working class district and several were injured.
 Announcement that yesterdays force of American heavy bombers over Bremen and Northern France was the largest ever sent out indi- cated that at least 500 Flying For tresses and Liberators participated.
 Twenty-nine heavy bombers were lost, but the formation shot down 20 Etercepting fighters and escort ing British and American fighters destroyed 36 more for new record. The number of Allied fighters lost on escort duty was not disclosed hut five fighters were lost in all yes- terday's operations.
 The raid was the 107th Anglo American raid of the war on Bremen, Germanys second port. Brig. Gen. Robert F. Travis of Savannah, Ga, who flew in for tress. said the German anti-air- craft fire was the heaviest he ever had encountered.

Official lapel buttons for honor ably discharged veterans of World War II will be available for distri- button in the First Service Con- mand in approximately two weeks, the War Department announced yesterday. The button will be issued free at all major Army installations in this area. The Hotel Buckminster at Kenmore Square, which is being used as headquarters for Military Police, will be the principal distri- button point for Boston.
 Eligible for the buttons are all en- listed men discharged honorably on or after September g, 1889; men transferred from active duty to the enlisted reserve; officers transferred from active duty status to inactive status, and officers and members hororably discharged from the WAAC. Men and women discharged irl the future will receive the button along with their official discharge papers.
 The mechanics for obtaining the button are simple. Eligibles may ap- ply in person at any of the Army installations listed below between eight in the morning and 4:45 in the afternoon and get button by showing their official discharge cer- tificate. If 1t is impossible for the applicant to appy in person, he may make Q written request to any of the installations. enclosing his discharge certificate. The certificate will be re- turned with the button. Notation of the issue will be made on the re- verse side of all certificates. Since officers will not have discharge cer- tificates, they will present two true copies of the order placing them on inactive duty.
 Buttons will be available ct the following Army installations in the First Service Commands:

 Science For Everyone
 Adventures in Research, soon to celebrate its second anniversary on the air, began as Q local feature on KDKA in Pittsburgh, but 1t was quickly adopted by other stations until now 1t is heard over 100 sta tions in nearly every state in the Union. An Alaskan station broad casts the program to American troops in the Aleutians.
 Star of the program Is Dr. Phil lips Thomas, veteran Westinghouse research engineer, who has made an avocation of explaining difficult scientific matters in simple, every day language. A specialist in elec- tronics and light-sensitive devices. among them the electric eye". Dr. Thomas spoke to more than 5000 people annually before the war call- ed him back to full-time research. Dr. Thomas is "quizzed" on the program by Paul Shannon, KDKA staff announcer, who plays the part of the man-on- the -street. The at mosphere of the interview is more that of the research laboratory than the lecture hall. On one program, for example, while explaining the principle of the vacuum sweeper, Dr. Thomas brought a late model to the studio and gave realistic sound effects to the program. AIl- other time, when the program dealt with microchemistry, the Westing- house scientist set up laboratory. conducted actual experiments dur ing the broadcast.
 Questions Pour In
 Questions from listeners pour in from all over the nation and each gets a prompt, personal reply.
 Tt is often amazing the scientific interest which people show," Dr. Thomas declared. "Ore man wrote us his complete theory of lon wave ultraviolet waves, and while con- clusions were questionable, it show ed very admirable scientific cur iosity on his part"
 On the less serious side was & let ter from a Philadelphia listener. He had heard a recent program in which Dr. Thomas answered ques- tions from listeners. One of these was the old favor1te: What hap pens when an irresistible force meets an ilninovable body?"
 Dr. Thomas replied that if there were an irresistible force, there couldn't be an immovable body, and vice versa. Consequently, the two ideas could not be considered in the same problem. But the Philadelphia listener promptly wrote: "You are simply avoiding the issue. If an ir- resistible force meets an ilnmovable body, there is an irconveivable con- cuSSion."

 Reports reaching Sweden said 100000 to 100000 Berliners already were homeless and upwards of 30,00C dead as result of the concentrated assault, which has seen raids of varying degrees nightly for the last five nights.

The officers dressed in parade clothes, decked with medals and feathers in their hats and carrying only swords, led a hundred Japs against the Ameri- can lines for a hand-to-hand battle to the death. I saw one young American private. slashed by a Jap officers sword, grapple with the of- ficer, wrest his sword away and kill him with his own weapon.
 The American tanks did a good job cleaning out the Japs. None of the native Gilbertese was killed. Some of the natives remembered me from our 1942 raid and said they were glad to see us back.

purely political these days. In ordinary times there might be a good sized political battle, but these are extraordinary times and somehow or other it's hard to arouse public reaction even though there may be good grounds for suspicion, antagOnism or other feelings.
 It's no secret that Finance Board commissioners were somewhat overwhelmed by the suggestion from the Health Department and Water bury Medical Association that a new isolation hospital be built here in Waterbury. The general reaction seemed to be that the public would not countenance the city building such an institution or even author- izing construction of one SO long as the existing structure on Watertown avenue is there. True the latter can't be used by the city, for 1t is in use as a private institution, for which the city gets an annual rental of $1, 800, but the subject of isolation hospitals is touchy one lacally and there won't be too many public off, cials anxious to embrace g new one with much enthusiasm.
 The suggestion from State Tax Commissioner Walter Walsh that the Assessors office be equipped so that the public can be properly accommodated fits into plans for just such physical reOrganiza- tiOn of the department. Plans to make over the office, which is in the east wing of the City Hall right off Field Street and front ing on Grand. were shelved few months ago by Mayor John s. Monagan and the Board of Fi- nance until such time as the state checkup of the office had been completed. It's doubtful if the proposed changes can be made and charged to the 1943 budget now, but there's no doubt but what they'll be included in 1944's budget if that's the case.
