GERMAN AVIATION

Gen. Eaker Says Bombing
Has Destroyed Nazi
Oil Supply

ROME. Dec. 4.-tR-Germany is
suffering such a drastic fuel short
age as result of Allied bombing
attacks on her refineries that some
Nazi pilot training centers have
been closed down and the enemy's
bomber force has been practical
ly abandoned, 1t. Gen. I r c.
Eaker, Mediterranean Air Force
commander. declared today.
An increasing number of German
tanks and trucks are being cap
tired in perfect condition, but with
their gas tanks dry, as Allied ar
mics press across the enemy S
western border. Berlin physicians,
except for a few in outlying dis
tricts of the German capital, were
given no fuel allowance in August,
Eaker said.
Disclosing that he now had more
big bombers at his disposal in the
18th U. S. Air Force than ever
before, Eaker said that German
targets are due for the greatest
weight Of bombardment they have
ever received, and the winter
weather will not protect them"
While conceding that opposition
over Germany was stronger than
ever before, he said he thought it
would be possible to maintain a
loss rate of less than two per cent
on bombing runs to the Reich. FAX
err made it plain that his force was
prepared to wage a long and re-
lentless battle to smash German
industries and morale.
The experience of one captured
German student pilot was offered

age.

students. 30 aircraft were avail
able" Eaker said. Because Of
lack of fuel, however, the number
of daily flights was restricted to
1C. At the end Of August training
