Block-Busters
Fall On Bremen

LoNDoN-British four -engined
night bombers rocked Bremen,
Germany's second port, with
block busters during the night as
The Eighth u. S. air force pre-
pared to step up its daylight Of
fensive TO 1,O00-plane raids.
Despite the nests of anti-air-
craft guns guarding northwest
Germany and the intensity Of the
attack, the British night raiders
returned without the loss of a
single plane, the air ministry
announced.
The raid Continued the RATS
policy Of striking at key centers
in Germany's submarine warfare,
now considered the biggest OBJ
stacle to an allied victory
THE bombers dumped thousands
Of incendiaries as well as two and
four-ton block busters on the

Loss Of Argonaui, Worlds
Largest Sub, Told by u. S.

ports. Huffman said he believed
japanese depth charges forced the
American submarine TO the sur
face and that the forward part Of
the ship broke surface at con-
siderable angle. rendering her
helpless and enabling the enemy
TO pour in hits.
Within two hours after the
sinking the Japanese convoy
was reinforced with six de-
stroyers q ompanied by
planes. This was an indication
that the Japanese considered
the convoy valuable because
they are shy Of dcstroyers.
However II was not believed
likely that they were carrying
troops In view of the fact that
they were returning from Lac.
The Argonaut was commissioned
in 1928 and was. until recently,
the United States only mine-lay-
ing submarine. At the outbreak
Of war she was near Midway and
Immediately went on offensive pa
troll. Later she went 10 Mare
Island for new engines and then
carried out another successful
mission under Lieut.. -Comdr. John
Reeves Pierce. veteran of more
than 10 years of submarine serv-
ice. who was in charge OF her
last trip.

Italian Navy Surrender
Laid 10 Propaganda
By the Associated Press.

MORGANTOWN, w. Va, Oct. 80
The part Allied propaganda
played in bringing about the sur
render of the Italian fleet was tolC
last night by Ferdinand Kuhn
deputy director of the overseas
branch of the Office of War In
formation.
Speaking at the West Virginia
Journalism Conference, the former
New York Times correspondent
credited an Owl radio engineer
whom he did not identify. with
solving the problem of relaying ap-
peals to the italian Navy to sur
render their ships. rather than tt
scuttle them or turn them over to
the Nazis.
This engineer managed with
great ingenuity the deputy di-
rector said, ito shift the radio mes
sages to the international distress
frequency and this was re-
peated at l5-minute intervals fol
a 24-hour period.
Admiral Cunningham was stand
Ing on the bridge Of his flagship al
Malta when the first of the long
line of Italian ships came into view
He spotted them through his
glasses. turned to his aide and said
Tell Gen Mcclure (of the phycholo-
eical warfare branch of the Army
of which Owl is a part) that he has
accomplished more with propaganda
IN one day, than I have been able
to 60 in three years with all the
ships of the Navy"

Traffic Toll Double
Nation S Battle Loss
Since Pearl Harbor
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 80. - Wartime
driving restrictions have aided in
reducing traffic deaths, but the total
since Pearl Harbor is twice the Ma
tion's battle losses, the National
Safety Council reports.
Since the war began, 21,94O have
died in combat and $4,000 in traffic
accidents, the council said, adding
that official Government figures list
65,l70 wounded and missing, exclud-
ing prisoners of war, while traffic
injuries were suffered by 100000
persons, 10000 of whom were per-
manently disabled
This comparison should shame
every loyal American" Ned H. Dear
born, council executive vice presi-
dent, said. "A country that is fight
ing for its life simply can't afford to
isquander manpoWer at such rate. u
He said the traffic toll could be
cut in half overnight if every Amer
ican would merely use common
sense, courtesy and caution"
The council said the 49, 800 traffic
fatalities for the first nine months
of l943 were 26 per cent below the
same period of 1912, and 43 per cent
below the same period of prewar
l94l. But the September toll of D.
ITO was only per cent lower than
September, 1912, indicating IAN early
END to continued reductions"
The public can take little credit
for any reductions, since the Ma
tons mileage decreased 36 per cent
IN the first eight months of this
