White FamiIY's Dog Killed
By Automobile, Not Gun

Colmar Manor Police Chief Henry
Caspare, jr.. said today that the
dog belonging to the family of
John S. White, Speaker of the Mary
land House of Delegates, thought to
have been shot when it escaped from
the House Thursday night, was
killed by an automobile.
Chie1 Caspare said Andrew C..
Tackett. lib Wilson avenue, Colmar
Manor. who lives about a block from
the White residence at 1862 Forty
first avenue. told police last night
that he struck the 3-year- -old Scottie
as he was taking his wife to the
doctor.
Mr.. Tackett was quoted as saying
that the dog ran in front of his
car and there was nothing he could
do to prevent striking it.
Chief Caspare said gun reports,
repeatedly heard by neighbors. evi-
IDENTIFY were backfires on the Balti-
more boulevard, close by.
Mrs. White said she had been in
formed that an autopsy had re-
vealed that the dog had not been
shot. She did not know who per-
formed the autopsy.
Because of an influx of stray dogs
in Prince Georges County and the
danger of rabies infection, County
Police Chief Ralph Brown recently
ordered his men to shoot at sight
any stray dogs.

pending its submission to Chairman

The joint inquiry is expected to
get underway by November /.
Meanwhile, it was reported in

British Needs Change.
Two years ago when the British
formally detailed their use of lease
lend. it was said. they needed dollar
credits more than they do now and
at that time it was agreed that the
United States would pay cash for
certain raw materials purchased
from British interests.
Now, however, Britain has pro-
posed to include these materials in
reciprocal lease-lend.
The same sources who told of a
forthcoming statement of Anglo
American policy also said a gentle
mems agreement exists between the
two countries not to try to take
commercial advantage of war con-
dltlons at the others expense; for

Officials Hold Losses
In Schweinfut Raid
Justified by Results
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
Assessing the cost of the bombing
OF Schweinfurt, official Washington
decided today that the loss of go
Flying Fortresses was not an unduly
high price to pay for smashing the
most important single industrial tar
get In Germany.
In relation to the total of planes
on the mission, this loss was the
greatest yet suffered by the 9th Air
Force. 1t was several times the S per
cent frequently cited as the allow
able" loss, the rate at which bomb
Ing operations cease to be profit
able"
Below Calculated Risk"
1t can be said, nevertheless, that
the loss was below the Calculated
risk" accepted before the attack was
undertaken. 1t also was we'll below
the rate of loss experienced by the
Middle East Commands Liberators
which blasted the Ploesti oil fields
OF Rumania in August in what was
considered, until Schweinfurt. two
days ago, the most important air
mission of the war.
In formal statement, Gen. H II
Arnold, Army Air Forces chief, yes
terday termed Schweinfurt. where
the Fortresses were said to have
"obliterated" three ball and roller
bearing plants, a heart damaging
blow to the entire German war pro-
ductlon and machinery maintenance
program"
Against the loss of so heavy
bombers and 593 crew members. he
said. must be balanced the fact that
the Schweinfurt plants produced at
least so per cent of the ball bearings
made In German-occupied Europe,
rs per cent Of those made In Ger
many itself-bearings essential to
the manufacture and maintenance
OF war equipment.
No Morale Problem.
And at news conference, Presi-
dent Roosevelt said that while the
loss Of so heavy bombers was very
heavy, he saw little chance that
losses over an extended period
would exceed the additions of new
planes to the Air Forces. The
bomber command, he added, could
not AFFORD such losses every day
and isn't losing that many planes
every day.
The point made by the President
was elaborated in other official
quarters as being the heart of the
allowable loss" question-the AL
lowable" can be figured mathemati-
cally for an extended period and II
the Importance of single objective
Justifles the risk, the commander
can choose to risk in single attack
his numerical allowable" for-say-
an entire month.
All experience has shown that as
long as the crews know the Job is
being done, that the targets are
being reached and demolished,
there is no morale problem involved
in heavy losses. That being the
case, the allowable loss becomes
what the commander can replace
in both planes and crews.

William Washington, colored. 100

regulations during the blackout.
The defendant pleaded guilty to
a charge of having his headlights

Capt. Whitehurst said all con-
troll centers were completely manned

yellow signal was given. Simulated

success of the test to some degree.
