PARIS, Aug. 81 - Delayed
Up - More fortunate than
London, the beautiful city Of
Paris has been spared the fate
of heavy damage from the air.
American and British bomb
ers have flown over and around
il hundreds Of time, but have
never loosed explosives on the
city proper. They held their
blows strictly for military tar
gets.
AS a result bomb damage has
been confined almost entirely to
the suburban industrial districts
at a minimum cost to innocent
civilians. The big railroad yards,
airfields and the vast Renault
Motor Works and its subsidiary
plants were the scenes of great
est destruction.
Two of the best examples of
the devastation caused by AL
lied bombers-an indication of
how large sections of Germany
must now look-are the Renault
Works on the southwestern edge
of Paris and the mammoth Viii

The purpose will be to plan

crushing Japan-similar to the
meeting of August, 1943, when
the master draft for the invasion
of France was approved.
This may be followed after

Beautiful French Capital
Suffers But Minor Damage

leneuv-St. Georges freight yards
outside Vincennes. Both are in
ruins.
The Renault factory is a mass
of wrecked and burned out
buildings and twisted steel. The
factory, which the Germans
converted into production of all
types of vehicles for their Army
as well as the manufacture of
some plane parts, is spread out
around a huge central building.
1t suffered several direct hits
and a number of the small struc-
lures were demolished.
A Paris newspaper man said
the bombing never caused the
plant to shut down completely,
but obviously slowed produc-
ton greatly"
1T usually was thrown out of
gear for two or three days aft
er each big raid" he declared.
Thousands of wrecked rail-
way cars are smeared over the
Villeneuv-St. Georges yards,
through which the Germans had
to move vast quantities of mate
rial in and out of Paris. One
area three quarters of mile
square is almost a solid mass of
crumpled cars and locomotives
and twisted rails.
The last big raid here was
shortly after D-Day, when y. S.
Eighth Air Force heavy bomb
ers caught the yards damned
with cars as the Nazis started a
frantic rush of supplies to the
Normandy front.
Extensive damage also was
caused at other railway juno
tons and several main lines
were blasted from time to time
There is no great array of big
factories around Paris Such as
there is around New York. They
are smaller and widely dispers-
ed, but few of those used by the
Germans escaped the carefully
planned air assault.
Some French civilians living
in industrial sections were kill
ed in the bombings, but the num-
Der was believed comparatively
small.
The heart Of Paris around the
Eiffel Tower was never touch
ed. Few if any of the historic
buildings suffered any damage
from the air raids. There are
no broken windows, boarded
doorways or Clipped walls.

Cuiback Order
Affects Dow
Magnesium Plants Moy
Be dismontIed

MIDLAND, Mich, Sept. i
CP)-Taking note of a War Pro-
duction Board order effective
today cutting back magnesium
production by so per cent, DR..
Willard H. Dow, president of
the Dow Chemical Co., said to-
day the order may force the dis
mantling of plants and mean
a setback from which recovery
will be difficult or impossible.
The order cutback of produc-
ton, DR.. Dow said, would cur
tail output from the present
600,000,000 pounds year to
only slightly more than military
demand. Asserting that scores of
manufacturers are seeking to
use the metal in the production
of scores of civilian articles, he
added:
1T is my understanding that
fabricators of magnesium have
unused capacity of approximate
ly Is per cent which could be
employed in the manufacture of
badly needed civilian items. But
prohibition on capacity produc-
ton will preclude this. Thus the
order relating to the relaxation
of controls over the use of both
m gne u and aluminium
means absolutely nothing"
At the start of the war the
Dow Chemical Company was
the sole producer of magnesium.
Six major producers now are
engaged in its manufacture. The
curtailment order resulted re-
Gently in the closing of Dow
operated plants at Ludington
and Marysville, Michigan.
