Heavy Bombers Blast
Rhine|and Transport
And War Ceniers
BY the Associated Press.

g LONDON, Sept. 5.--American
heavy bombers smashed today at
the Rhineland transport and
industrial centers OF Stuttgart,
Karlsruhe and Ludwigshafen,
all in the path of advancing Al
lied armies Of the west.
Berlin said other American fleets
from Italy were striking in Hungary,
supporting Russian armies moving
through the Transylvanian Alps.
Lightnings caught a whole feet
of German planes on improvised and
virtually undefended landing fields
in Western Germany and destroyed
60 on the ground and Is in the air.
Perhaps the most significant Of
the three-target attack by nearly
750 Flying Fortresses and Liberators
from Britain was the attack on the
ralyards and repair shops at Karls-
ruhe, just across the French Ger
man border in the Rhineland. Mos
quitos dropped many twc-ton block
busters on Karlsruhe last night
without loss.
Karlsruhe Is Key Center.
Because of its location and huge
transport facilities, Karlsruhe is a
logical focal point for supplies and
reinforcements which Hitler prob
ably is marshaling for the battle of
Germany. One report placed the
United States Sd Army within 40
miles of Karlsruhe.
Up to 500 Mustang fighters es-
corted the bombers and Berlin said
air battles ensued..
The Daimler-Benz plane engine
works and a motor transport plant
we're bombed usually in clear
weather at Stuttgart, Germany's
l4th city.
Karlsruhe rail targets also could
be seen from aloft.
Two U. S. Craft Down.
At the big chemical works of
Ludwigshafen on the Rhine the
flyers encountered heavy clouds and
dropped explosives by instrument on
objectives not specifically described.
The Swiss radio said two Amer
lean bombers made forced landings
In that neutral republic after vio-
lating Switzerland's "air space"
The Nazis said Allied bombers
also were over Hungary. striking be-
fore the advancing Red Army cut
ting through the Transylvanian
Alps.
The Russians also were hitting
Germany from the east. At mid
night Moscow announced attacks on
East Prussian airdromes, the sink
ing Of 6,000-ton supply ship in the
Baltic Sea, and the sinking of one
and the damaging of tive high-speed
barges in the Gulf of Finland-part
OF the craft taking three German
divisions from the southern part of
surrendered Finland. The Russians
destroyed 13 planes

presence of these diplomats! Renthe
Fink did so embarrassedly. He then
left. saying the ultimatum expired
at Z am. Backing up the ultimatum
was a threat to lombard vichy with
artillery and from the air and the
execution Of 500 hostages taken from

force estimated at 5000 men.

refused. Troops who accompanied
him beat violently on the door. In
