By DeIayed-Action
Bombs, Swedes Say
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 27.-Travel-
ers reaching Stockholm from Ber-
lin tonight told how residents of
the Nazi capital prayed and sang
religious hymns as they crowded into
AFRAID shelters during the heavy
Raj assaults this week.
They described Friday nights at
tack as virtually as heavy as the
record raid Monday night despite a
terrific German flghter-plane de-
fense. Some eye witnesses esti-
mated that as many as 1000 Nazi
fighters failed to prevent the Raj
from reaching the capital for the
fifth night in a row.
"The day in Berlin is awful" said
Mrs. Solveig Schol, who arrived in
Sweden by plane tonight.
Uninterrupted explosions of time
bombs are causing terrible nervous
tension" she said. Friday 1 heard
no fewer than go explosions. We
sat in bomb shelters praying to-
gether and singing religious songs.
Opposite our shelter an entire quar-
ter was destroyed and 38 persons
we're killed"
Buildings Still Falling.
A Swedish engineer who returned
to Sweden from Brussels by way of
Berlin, said how to get out of Ber-
linz" is the big question for all peo-
pie there.
Traffic difficulties still are tre-
mendous," he declared.
Great fires were reported in Sic
menstadt where the huge Siemens
electrical works are located. Sic
menstadt was one of the districts
which bore the brunt of Fridays
raid.
The Berlin correspondent of the
newspaper Dagens Nyheter said
buildings were collapsing all over
the Nazi capital, killing many per-
sons who were trying to salvage
some of their belongings.
Il was warned to stay away from
one sector by policeman who told
me six women had been killed there
by falling wall" the correspondent
said.
Thousands of foreign workers are
helping in cleaning up the debris.
Most are Italians. The others are
Russians with distinctive markings
on their backs.
Transit Lines Crippled.
Only few trolley and bus lines
are operating and great crowds wait
nopelessly for places.
Most people in Berlin walk to-
day the correspondent related.
During the first raids thousands
of persons used the subways to walk
about town since most of the streets
were covered with a blanket of
flame, boats of all sizes also are be-
ing used for transportation and to
evacuate people from Berlin.
People crowd water stands in the
street for water as homes, which
were not hit by bombs or incen-
diaries, lack water, gas and cleo
tricity."

spokesman. was reported to have
resumed his conferences today with

Turkish Paper Says
Farley Has Increased
Likelihood Of War
BY the Associated Press.


ANKARA, Nov. 26 Delayed In
what may be part of a campaign
to prepare the Turkish public for
war at the side of the Allies, the
newspaper Tanin said editorially to-
day that the Cairo conference had
greatly increased the possibility of
Turkeys entry into the war.
Referring to the recently con-
cluded talks between British For
eign Secretary Anthony Eden and
Turkish Foreign Minister human
Menemencioglu, Husein Yalchin,
prominent pro-democratic journal
ist, wrote in Tanin:
If it could be said that before the
Cairo talks the possibility of Tur-
keys not entering the war was pre-
dominant, that situation is now re-
versed after the Cairo talks"
Campaign Needed.
Despite Turkeys increasing CO.
operation in the form of sub rosa
assistance to the Allied armed
forces, the man in the street has
not been prepared for war and a
campaign to that end has been con-
Sldered a necessary step
tThe German-controlled Vichv
radio quoted Turkish newspapers
Saturday as saying that IStan-
bulls municipal authorities were
preparing ito black out the city"
The broadcast, picked up by CHS,
added that the measure did not
imply Turkeys immediate entry
into the war)
Yalchln made no attempt to pre-
dict when Turkey might be expected
to drop her neutral status.
The precise conditions under
which Turkey would enter the war
are not apparent at this time" he
wrote. When and where are still
questions to be decided"
Diplomatic FURRY Reported.
Meanwhile. rIstanbul dispatches
reported a furry of diplomatic ac-
tivity. The Anatolian News Agency
correspondent at Budapest said that
the Turkish Ambassador to Rome,
Rushed Unaydin. had arrived in
Budapest from Rome with his en-
tire staff. The correspondent said
also that Franz Won Papen, Hitlers
ace diplomat and ambassador to
Turkey, had arrived in Budapest
en- route back to Turkey after a trip
to Berlin.
In the Tanin editorial Yalchin
went on to point out that, under the
terms of the Turkish British treaty
of 1899 it was not necessary for
Turkey to be attacked directly ito
necesSltate her entry into the war"
Turkish action in accordance with
the alliance comes at the head of
our vital interests" he said.
Early Inaction Explained.
Yalchin explained that Turkey
did not enter the war in 1910 when
Italy attacked France because a.
that time Russia was friend of
the Axis and our entry into the war
on the Allied side would have in
volVed Turkey in armed conflict
with Russia.
He summed up the present sit
uation thus:
The party has approved the gov
ernment's action in accordance with
the CTurkish-British) alliance.
To say we shall act in accordance
with the obligations of the alliance
can have no other meaning than
to enter the war"

In u. S. Raid, Witnesses Suy

that one of the attackers came in

around the target which the fol-
lowing bombers plastered with ex-

Fire departments from Oslo and

the raid, the Norwegian legation
said, the gasoline depot exploded

Private Norwegian advices put the
number of aircraft engines destroyed
at 800 and German casualties at
between $50 and 400, but added that
these figures were probably high.

Norwegian Crew Gets New Ship
After Appeal to President
Vessel Rummed
Twice on Trip
Across Atlantic

On his 46th birthday, the Nor
wegian skipper went to sea again
IN a new ship with his old crew,
thanks to President Roosevelt, and
now he's carrying war cargoes once
more between the United States
and Great Britain.
The Norwegian Embassy last
night revealed the story of the in
trepid Capt. Mons Augestad, who
put his problem up to the White
House when his ship was rammed
and sunk in fog OF Newfoundland.
It's q story of comradeship be-
tween skipper and crew developed
over four years. Capt. Augestad
began to sail his motorship In the
war zones in September. 1899. He
and the crew took the vessel through
mine fields. They eluded German
attempts to bomb them and tor
pedo them.
But luck could not hold out for
ever. Two months ago, in convoy
bound for England with American
made arms and munitions, the ship
was making Its way at midnight in
heavy fog near the dangerous Grand
Banks.
Seas Heavy.
A gale was blowing. The seas
were heavy. Of the starboard bow
of Capt. Augestad's ship, a heavy
explosion suddenly lit up the night.
In its glare the Norwegian crew
saw another ship bearing swiftly
down upon them.
The explosion came from a mu-
nitions ship blown up. Crew men,
bers of the vessel were bending
every effort to avoid the burning
wreckage. They did not see the
Norwegian ship in the fog.
Before Capt. Augestad could
change his course, the oncoming
ship smashed his vessel amidships,
and its. anchor hooked into the
plates Of the Norseman. While
sailors worked desperately to sep
arate the two ships. fire broke out
on Capt. Augestad's ship.
The fire was put out. The ships
were separated. With whistles
screaming in the dark. the Morse
vessel continued on its journey.
She was safe from foundering so
long as the skipper could keep tar
undamaged portside to windward
Danger Remained.
But the danger of collision in
the fog remained. At dawn, a

ship. It was another vessel in the

Senate Labor Unit
10 Probe Plight Of
White-CoIIar Class

The Senate Labor Committee is
going to see what 1t can do to help
the forgotten man" of the war
the white collar worker who is fight
ing war prices on small, fixed
salary, and buying war bonds, too.
Committee Chairman Thomas,
Democrat, OF Utah, said yesterday
he and Senator Pepper, Democrat,
of Florida, will conduct public hear
ings January 25-l7 to see how these
"unorganized millions" are faring
in the midst Of war.
Senator Thomas expressed fear
that this class may be "the victims
of the increased cost of living" that
has accompanied all-out produc-
ton for war. For this reason. the
committee already has begun in
quiring into the lot Of white-collar
workers who have taken a back seat
thus far during two years Of In
quiries accorded organized groups
in labor. agriculture and industry.
The forgotten man" is repre-.
sentative, Senator Thomas said, Of
an estimated 100000 who have
their own place in the war effort,
In offices, small stores, the schools,
professions, in science and in art.
For the most part they have lacked
the organization and lobbies to pre-
sent their plight forcibly before
Congress. Senator Thomas said he
had been told that there are untold
thousands whose health and secur-
ity is imperilled."
A group of $4,000 organized men,
bers of the United Office and Pro-
fessional Workers of America, CIO
affiliate. complained recently to
War Mobilization Director Byrnes
that the income of white collar
workers Is insufficient to maintain
health and efficiency. The union
suggested a special white collar di-
vision in the War Labor Board to
deal with their problems.
This is just one phase OF the in
quiry the committee will conduct.

Reduced Taxes for All
10 Be Postwar Goal
Il COP Is Victorious
~ the Associated Press.


Representative Knutson, Repub-
iican, Of Minnesota, minority leader
of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, said yesterday Republicans
would advocate reduced taxes ."all
along the line"-for both corpora
tions and individuals-as a postwar
goal, If they win control of Congress
next year.
In an end-of of-the-year interview
he declared also that Congress must
pass regulatory legislation to stag
ger" repayment of War bonds when
victory comes to insure their orderly
liquidation and to prevent economic
chaos and uncontrolled imitation"
The Minnesota member of the
Revenue-Raising Committee frankly
acknowledged that the Republican
hopes of slicing down current tax
assessments depended upon victory
in Europe and resultant reduced
military expenditures.
"Peacetime production" he said,
"could not stand up under the pres
ent tax load. Taxes now are as high
as the trafhc will bear. On a per
capita basis, the people of this coun-
try are paying more than those any
where else in the world.
I'VE did not attain our present
position in the world, we did not
develop the present economic sys-
TEN and unsurpassed industrial
achievements by sitting the profit
incentive. Continuation of the pres
ent taxes in peacetime would seri-
ously impair the whole economic
structure and lower our living
standards to those of postwar Eu-
rope"
Representative Knutson conceded
that a demand may arise after the
war for repeal Of provisions in the
1912 Revenue Act designed to ex-
pedite industrial reconversion to
civilian production by granting re-
funds and tax readjustments in
event of losses.
Specifically those provisions call
for a 10 per cent refund of the
wartime excess profits tax levy, a
"carry-back" clause permitting in
dustries to offset partially their i'm
mediate postwar losses against the
two previous years excess profits
tax, and tax benefits for concerns
forced to liquidate their inventories
by demands of war.
1T is inconceivable to me-" he
said. that Congress would break
faith-particularly with the rene
gotiations statute permitting recov-
cry of excessive profits-and leave
industry suspended in midair. That's
what repeal would amount to-"
Asserting that huge spending"
would not end with the war and
that costly readjustments" would
be necessary, Representative Knut-
son said, however, that refunds to
Industry should be earmarked for
the costs of reconversion and labor
costs.
THE problem of reconversion," he
declared, lis one of the greatest
which this Nation will have to
tackle. 1t is greater than that of
our participation in the rehabilita-
ton of the world, for unless we can
accomplish reconversion speedily
and successfully we will be in no
position to lend a hand to other
sountries."
In discussing the Nations postwar
economic situation, Representative
Knutson emphasized the need for
guarding against the possibility that
War Bond holders would attempt
TO convert their holdings to cash
Just as soon as the war is won.

of the Bots Banal, to the eastern
and northern edges of the Foret de
Parroy. Elements of the 42nd's ar
tillery brigade entered the DOM
basle sector, also on the night of the
21st, to receive their first taste of
combat warfare affiliated with the
French 41st division.
From March 81 to June 81 the
division occupied the Baccarat sec
tor in Lorraine, moving from there
to Chatel-sur-Moselle in the Vosges.
Then came July, with its heavy
fighting in the Champagne and
Champagne-Marn areas. The high
light of the And divisions activities
at this time would seem to be the
battle of La Croix Rouge Farm.
This farm was low, widespread
group of stone buildings connected
by walls and bitches. The Germans
had made an enormous machine gun
nest of this natural stronghold, and
had deied several earlier deter
mined efforts of Allied troops to dis
lodge them from this key position.
The 10th and the 168th infantry
regiments, old Alabama and Iowa
troops respectively, struggled all
day, July 26, against this nest of
horrors. 1t was practically impos-
sible to rush this enemy stronghold
across the open; endeavors to work
around the edges were thrown back
by flanking fire; an accurate punish
ing shell fire from the German artil-
lery ripped through the wet under
brush; gas, made doubly dangerous
by the moisture, swirled about in
terrible gusts.
At last, two platoons of assembled
Observation-Disclosures all, from the
167th and l6Sth-led by two lieu
tenants, squirmed their way for
ward, Indian fashion, and closed
upon the farm buildings with gre
nades and bayonet. The raid, staged
at dusk, was successful. The And
possessed La Croix Rouge farm at
nightfall, but at fearful cost in dead
and wounded.
Less than week later these same
regiments, with their sister outfits
of the Rainbow, were pressing for
ward toward the Ourcq river. Upon
the And fell the chief burden of the

Housewives Are Urged
To Turn in Waste Fats

That there is an acute need for
more fats and greases is empha-
sized in a recent statement by
Donald M. Nelson, chairman Of
WPB.
Over IS per cent of all glycerine
produced is now used for military
purposes and the need is increas-
ing. Housewives have been most
cooperative in response to ap-
peals to save waste fats; but gov
eminent surveys reveal that while
six out of ten women are saving
fats, only three out of ten have
thus far been delivering their
waste fat to meat dealer collec-
tors.
Directions are very simple.
Housewives simply strain waste
fats of every kind into a clean can
and, as soon as the can is full,
take it without delay to a meat
dealer or frozen food locker op-
orator. Any clean can will do.
