OF Tonnage Figures
In Comparing Raids
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 5.-A number of
expert air war observers, including
American Air Force officers, have
privately expressed regret that the
Allied bombing campaign has be-
come to the public a "weight-drop-
ping contest" with success meas
ured in terms of tonnage.
The weight criterion does not
necessarily mean thing Obviously
one 500-pound bomb dropped direct
ly on an objective is worth more
than 500 tons that land away from
the mark-and the most enthusiast
tic bombing exponents will admit
that many times in this war 500 tons
or more have landed a long way
from the target.
Such misses cannot be publicized
at the time because if it were said
I'VE hit the railroad station instead
OF the rubber works we were after"
or 1t were announced that an attack
damaged an iron works cafeteria
when the aim was to hit the main
foundry, the enemy would be warned
that other raiders probably would
be back soon to complete the job.
Results Vary Greatly.
Even when bombs hit a target
zone in saturiation attacks, results
can vary greatly. In some cities the
Raj has accomplished with a for
tunate bomb pattern in single raid
a degree of destruction that required
number of attacks in other places.
Officers of the USAAF say frank
ly that tonnage dropped through
clouds causes far less damage than
the same number of bombs dropped
with precision in clear weather.
Big bomb tonnage figures are
misleading. Forty thousand tons
dropped in Berlin conjures up a
picture of vast destruction. Metro
politan Berlin covers about 100000
acres, making the average of such
raid less than one 50O-pound bomb
to the acre.
The destructive power of one 500
pound bomb has its limits. Often
it will cause only minor damage to
a modern steel and concrete build
ing.
The serious blast damage radius
OF a 1-ton bomb is less than so yards
and that of 6-ton factory buster"
Is not much more than $50 yards.
Forced to Use Tonnage Criterion.
On the other hand, the variable
factors involved in bombing are
such that 10000 tons of bombs
dropped at exactly the right places /
might cripple Berlin.
Nevertheless, the tonnage yard
stick has been forced on the air
forces as virtually the only index |
to the scope of their activities for
the time being. Even when it is
known that the targets have been
hit, it often takes months to ap-
praise the result.
After the exact damage is known,
the itemization fails to portray the
impact of the attacks. The Raj
early this year had a confirmed list |
of results of raids on Berlin, but |
only considerable study indicated |
severe disruption of Germany's ad-
ministrative and industrial hub, dis
ruption that was corroborated by |
later information.
Precise results of aerial lombard
ment will not be known until Allied
troops march in. Until then, ton
mage will have to be accepted as
the one index-with grain of salt. |

Q. I'm about to be commission ed second lieutenant and realize that when I reach this rank my family allowance will stop. What I want to know is how soon is the termination of this allowance au- thorized after the period of enlist ment ceases?
 A. The law provides that entit- lement to a family allowance will terminate on or be modified at the end of the month in which a change of status in the enlisted man or his dependents occurs, rendering them no longer eligible.
 Q. Let's have the lowdown on this prisoner-of-war business. Are prisoners captured by us required to work? Are they paid And, if so, how much do they get?

Recreational programs for dis abled service men visiting USO clubs on passes from nearby hos pitals will be similar to those for other service men who have not been overseas or wounded, the loc- al director said this week upon re- ceipt of a bulletin on the subject from USO national headquarters.
 "When men in Army general hospitals, reconditioning units and station hospitals are ready to go out for an afternoon or evening, they often obtain passes and visit the nearest USO club, some of which are located in communities near the hospitals" the local di- rector said.
 The bulletin contains general standards for programs in USO clubs for disabled service men who have been returned from overseas combat duty and who are visiting USO clubs on hospital passes.
 It also recommends that USO clubs near hospitals provide nor nal recreational program for these men and an opportunity for them to mix with civilians, as a first step toward returning to home life again.
 USO club directors and volun- teers can be most helpful to dis abled men by supplying informa- tion to them, helping their famil- ies in the location of rooms, car ing for their children during visit ing hours and helping them to face new problems. They can also re-. fer them to sources of information on compensation, veterans bene- fits, vocational guidance and job placement.
 In Windsor Locks, Hartford and Springfield, USO clubs offer the following personal services such as housing and room registry serv- ice, mending, package-wrapping, checking, mailing service, slaves, shoe shines.

Prisoners work ing for the Federal government are paid at the rate of not less than 80 cents a day and prisoners work ing for the state or for private contractor are paid at rate to be decided upon between the employ CT and the prison camp command CT. Enlisted men who do not work are given an allowance of ten cents day. Officers don't have to work unless they want to.
 O.. Does the Army pay of Amer ican soldiers continue while they are prisoners-of-war?
 A. Certainly. While a CT is the prisoner of an enemy, his Army pay is saved for him and paid to him on his release. His family al- lotments continue while he is a prisoner. The treatment of Amer ican prisoners by the enemy is governed by rules established at the Geneva Convention.
