since April II, with the greatest
weight of explosives falling on rail-
way communications on which the
Nazi command depends to supply
and reinforce its anti-invasion ar
mics.
"Well over" 1000 Raj bombers
participated in last nights heavy
attacks on the Ruhr arms center Of
Essen, the Southern Germany ball
bearing city of Schweinfurt and
Villeneuve-St.- Georges in the SUI
burbs of Paris, an air ministry COM
munique announced.
Twin-engined Raj mosquitoes
simultaneously raided battered
Hamburg, once Ger1nany's second
city and greatest port. Mine-laying
operations rounded out the nights
offensive, in which 20 heavy bomb
ers and two mosquitoes were lost.
Four engined Lancasters and
Halifaxes bombed Essen, one of the
Ruhr's main communications hubs
as well as the home of the partly
devastated Krupps arms works, and
reconnaissance planes flying over
the target area two hours after the
main attack reported it a sea OF
flames with smoke rising to 10000
feet.
Big Explosion
One particularly heavy explosion
was observed at Essen, followed by
a big sheet of flame. While a great
weight OF bombs fell on railway
yards, many formations concentrat-
ed on the Krupps Works In an eff
fort to wipe out repair and recon-
structiou work rushed by the Ger
mans since the last heavy raid a
month ago.
Raj crewme1l who had vivid
memories of the heavy enemy anti
aircraft fire over the Ruhr a year
ago said last nights fight to Essen
was "cake walk by comparison.
Either their guns have been
worn out or the Germans have had
to move them somewhere else. for
there were very few guns opposing
us last night and very few fighters" :,
a flight lieutenant said.
Other pilots reported "tremend-
Gus number" of. SearchligntS in &C
ton, however.
The air ministry said the attack
on Schweinfurt, where the Germans
have been attempting frantically to
restore their wrecked bill bearing
plants to production, was "particu-
larly we'll concentrated" F'our-en-
gined Lancasters raided Schwein-
furt.
Targets
The railway yards at Villeneuve-
st. Georges near Paris were clear
ly identified the air ministry said,
and hundreds Of tons of demolition
and fire bombs were dropped on
them.
A German DNB dispatch said 10
dead had been recovered from bomb
ruins lin the southeastern parts OF
Paris by Woodworking, though res
cue work was hampered by explod-
ing time bombs.
A British air-home security min
istry communique said German
planes dropped bombs in the
coastal districts of Southern Eng
land and East Anglia during the
night. causing casualties and some

Offensive

Moscow has not yet announced
the reported southern offensives.
The Red Army usually reports on
new operations only after they have
developed over period of some
days.
Soviet front dispatches relayed by
Moscow indicated that the siege Of
Sevastopol, Black sea naval base,
was gathering momentum after a
pause for moving up troops and
equipment in the wake of the whirl-
wind sweep through the Crimea.
Moscow newspapers published an
eye witness report datelined from
"the last line before Sevastopol.' 1t
said the Germans and Romanians
were defending the city from fire
points blasted out Of overhanging
mountain crags similar to those at
Casino, where neither shells nor
bombs can penetrate.
In a valley behind the Soviet line
on the crest Of hill are crowded
Red army field kitchens, baggage
trains and heavy batteries concealed
in clumps OF trees, the dispatches
said.
The front report that the Rus
SLAMS had captured the trench sys-
TEN where the Red Marines made
their main stand in the historic
siege of 1941-42 was the first ac-
count Of specific gain since the
Soviets clamped siege arc against
Sevastopol on April ID.
The rugged terrain Of suburban
Sevastopol was reported packed with
mines, one Soviet company remov"
ing $50 in single day.
The Soviet eyewitness dispatch
said that from a forward Observa-
ton point the correspondent looked
down on Sevastopol. The scene
through the smoke and flames was

ure palatable to the AFL would be-:

At the meeting earlier referred

ject again came to the fore and

with the pending bill anyway. Mas
low is then understood to have

that the federation favored certain
changes in the bill, that is, if any
measure at all had to be accepted.
Ross and Maslow repeatedly had
certain ideas, considered acceptable
to the federation, on which they in
vited the opinions of legal counsel
for the National Council for a
Permanent FEPC and for the
NAACP. Both groups turned them
down flatly.
What these changes consisted of
are not generally known. The two
ways in which change could be af-

Reported also as being under dis
cussion were certain proposals be-
ing advanced by Ross and his di-
rector of field operations, Will
Maslow, which would make the bill
now under consideration more ac-
ceptable to the American Fedora
ton of Labor, which has called for
the elimination of trade unions in
its application.
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1944-12-14

A serious attempt to reach both
Ross and Maslow for comment was
unavailing. Official spokesman for
the committee, however, confirmed
the fact that there was confer
ence. "The chairman's visit to the
attorney general was not an un-
usual occurrence" this spokesman
said, "and was merely in connec-
ton with one of the cases now be-
ing handled" Asked to identify the
case the spokesman declared it con-
trary to FEPC policy to discuss
its cases until some definite ad-
justment has been reached"
An informed source in the at
torney generals office was asked
about the conference and the reply
was that it was 'good-very good"
Further confirmation was given of
the nature of the talks, namely the
constitutional aspects Of the coali-
tion bill which two weeks ago was
reported by the house labor COM
mittee.
What is transpiring now, the
AMP has been able to learn, is
taking on increased proportions,
and is not without considerable
background. The discussions be-
tween the two officials repeatedly
fell into two categories.
When the bill was reported by
the labor committee it automatic
ally went to the house legislative
counsel, Middleton Beaman, for an
opinion regarding its constitution
atty This is a normal procedure.
Beaman entertained some doubts
regarding portions of the bill,
doubts which have not yet formu-
lated into an opinion.
Apart from this, several law
yers, Negro and white, have pom
dered the institutional question
without any conclusions being
reached. This matter was brought
up by Ross during a meeting held
within the past two weeks which
was attended by these people; Ross,
Maslow and George NJ. Johnson,
deputy chairman of FEPC; Will
liam HASTE, dean of the Howard
University Law school; and Ida
Fox, representing the National
Council for Permanent FEPC.
This meeting had been called pri-
marily to aid in drafting a report
for Chairman Mary Norten of the
house committee to submit TO the
| chamber.
AS far as could be learned, the
doubts centered around what was
described as the right Of employ
ment", and to its use of the Inter-
state Commerce act Jurisdiction
for application.
With regard to the AFL angle,
the story goes back to before the
house committee began its hearings
in June. About then it was known
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1944-12-14
Thvrsdoy, December IA, 1914

would begin from scratch and write
new bill.
Four weeks ago Ross told this
correspondent that the FEPC had
no view, official or unofficial, upon
the present bill, and that it's opin-
ion had been invited by the house
labor committee only to the extent
of commenting upon the need for
such legislation. The experience OF
the FEPC over a three year pc
riod, he inferred, had been ignored.
