Thirty of the missing bombers

The announced purpose of the
Brunswick attack was to disrupt
the reconstruction work the Ger
mans had been doing at the inn
portant fighter reproduction center
whose factories had been damaged
in previous raids this year.
The Nazis probably feared the
heavy bombers were heading for
Berlin which is one possible reason
why they put up such a stubborn
defense over Brunswick.
Fierce battles with German in

TRUCK REBUILDING.
PROGRAM STARTED

A wartime rehabilitation program
to nurse sick and ailing trucks
back to health has been launch
ed by the Office of Defense Trans
portation, George T. Musselman,
ODT District Manager at Whining
ton, announced yesterday.
The program calls for rebuild
ing and overhauling of trucks by
the use of rebuilt exchanged en-
gines, transmissions and rear axle
assemblies. Unserviceable units
may be exchanged at dealer gar
ages for these rebuilt units with a
minimum of truck layover, Mr..
Musselman explained.
The program will make available
to these dealer garages complete
units which they may swap" to
their customers for similar unserv-
iceable units which they themselves
are unable to repair. The worn
units will then be sent to a large
reconditioning shop where they will
be overhauled completely and put
back into use.
The program is similar to the
practice of many truck manufac-
turers who exchange smaller units
such as carburetors, fuel pumps,
ignition distributors and genera
tors, and will permit essential
truck owners to swap in badly
worn engine for a rebuild one with
little more delay than it would take
to get new carburetor.
Merchandising details of the pro-
gram and location of the rebuilding
shops who will handle rebuilding
work for the hundreds of dealer
garages will be dependent upon
trade arrangements and distribu-
ton plans of the participating con-
Germs.
Final details of the operation of
the plan in the southeast will be
worked out at a meeting in Atlanta
April II, to be conducted by w. j.
Cummings. chief of ODT's Vehi-
Gle Maintenance Section in Wash
ington. j. Ben White, ODT Dis
trict Maintenance Specialist and
George McFarlane, chairman of the
Wilmington District Automotive
Maintenance Advisory committee,
will attend this meeting.
Complete information will be
made available to truck owners
and garagemen in the Wilmington
District as soon as Mr.. White and
MIR. McFarlane return from the
conference.
