LONDON. Dec. 17.-Stricken
Berlin heaved up fields of flame
and smoke again last night as
hundreds of giant, RAF bombers
loosed 1900 tons of bombs on
the Nazi nerve center. 1t was
the 41st raid on Berlin this year.
Stockholm dispatches said the
capital was burning again today
after a two weeks respite, the

communication was irregular and
transport was reported paralyZed
from streets choked with debris.
Thirty RAF bombers were missing
from the sixth big raid on Berlin
in a month which was launched
from Britain Just after American
Liberator and Flying FnrtreSses re-
turned in twilight from their day
light raids on Northwest Germany.
The 9Th Air Force did not specify
the Americans target. but the Ger
man communioue said the fleets
were over Helgoland Bay and drop

80 BOmbers Are Lost.
The degree of the Berlin assault
and the determination with which
it was pressed home left no doubt
that the RAF intends to finish the
job Of leveling what remains OF the
citys acres of factories, government
buildings, financial institutions and
warehouses.
With last nights attack, which
came before bomb exhausted Ber-
liners had a chance to fall asleep.
more than $4,000 tons of high ex-
ploslVes and mcendiaries have
been showered on the blackened
and shattered city.
There was no clear indication of
what. area of Berlin the Raj con-
centrated on last night although
private information reaching Swe-
den indicated that the central sec
ton had suffered heavily.
The Swiss radio said the Foreign
Office district was struck, and one
Berlin broadcast clung to the ia
miliar line that the residential area
had been the target.
Admit Heavy Damage.
The German high command in its
broadcast communique, acknowl-
edged only that considerable dam

Canadian flyers who participated
agreed the capital had been given
a staggering blow.
Heavy clouds made it difficult to
assess the damage with accuracy,
but judging from the glow l think
our concentration of bombs must
have done great damage" said 1t.
Rod Dunphy of Winnipeg.
Another Canadian flyer said
flames had Illuminated the path to
Berlin for 25 miles. He said the
clouds effectively blanketed de-
fensive searchlights, but the re-
fected fires from the burning city
could be seen plainly as they de-

thus engaged, Mosquitoes stabbed at

Driving Ban Still
In Force, District
OPA Warns

After observers noted an increase
IN the number of automobiles on
the streets yesterday, Robert K.
Thompson, District OPA director
today reminded motorists that the
ban on non-essential driving still
stands.
1T should be remembered" he
said, that there is still a shortage
of gasoline and fuel oil and the
conservation of these two commod-
tiles will constitute a great con-
tribution to the war effort.
The public has now been placed
on their honor and it is their pa
triotic duty not to drive their cars
unless 1t is strictly essential"
Meanwhile the local OPA head
quarters and area rationing boards
were still sitting the several hun
dred pending cases against alleged
violators of the pleasure driving ban
to detel mine whether the charges
should be pressed. Mr. Thompson
ruled Saturday that drivers guilty
of fragrant violations of the ban
would not be excused, despite orders
of Price Administrator Prentiss M
Brown that enforcement of the
pleasure driving restrictions be
abandoned.
There has been some speculation
that Mr.. Brown would lift the ban
entirely when the No gasoline "a
coupons become valid on March o.
but there was possibility also that
the value of at least the "a" coupons
would be further reduced to two
gallons each.
