 The Soviet communique said the Russians were battling at the ap- breaches of the station at Volo- chisk, on the important line, 60 milesn north of the Rumania frontier, severing the railroad, which would force the Nazis to rely on ,se yo4 f66ssds sasssa one track railways over the Runanian frontier CT eri the sea. for supplies OE eiSe retreat. ~ Twenty salvos of 224 guns thun- dered in the Moscow celebration of the new victories, it was an- nounced, in Stalin's special order of the day.
 Two Soviet communiques from Stalin'S headquarters disclosed that Marshal Gregory Zhukov. commanding the First Ukrainian army in the drive, was replacing Gen. Nikolai Vatutin, reported i'll.

.BOMBERS HIT BERLIN IN END u. s. BLOW

LONDON, Mar. 6.-(AP)-U. s. heavy bombers in ''very strong forces" bombed Berlin today in a second American blow on the German capital.
 The first official announcement said that only targets in the Der lin district" were hit, without identifying them further, or giv- ing other details.
 This surprise follow-up to Sat urday's "icebreaker" raid by one formation of bombers, is strik- ing demonstration of the 9th Air Forces might, and was the sev- enth operation of the heavy bomb CTS in eight days.
 Heavy fighter escorts accom- panied the formations on the round trip of more than HOO miles from British bases.
 Thus, Berlin, already scared from the massive RAF night as- sault, was brought under destruc- tive hammer blows falling day and night, presumably with the American daylight attacks aimed with precision at the destruction of selected targets escaping the RATS saturation raids
 Heavy bombers ragged Berlin as allied medium fighter bombers at tackled northern France, where Churchill said tn eGermans were preparing rocket robot installa- tions.

 In London Parliamentary Sec retary Dinglefoot, minister of economic warfare, told a luncheon gathering that when resistance in the air overwhelmed, destruction of the German war industry would follow on a far greater scale than achieved in the last few weeks"

Censorship Holds
At Camp Lockett

The petition allegecly protested
the inhuman treatment of conval-
escents and civilians within camp
confines by the commanding officer,
and objected to his habitual use of
profanity and obscene language
while on duty.
Also a bone of contention was the
moving of civilian families from
quarters erected on the post by the
National Housing Administration
for the use of civilian employees.
At the moment, according to
camp informants, the project pri-
marily houses officers and their
families. Dormitories care for the
shelter neeoS of unmarried men
and women civilians.
Conspicuous by his absence at
the camp Thursday was Colonel
Walgron J. Cheyney, three-year
Lockett veteran, who was transfer
red suddenly to the South Security
District at Los Angeles.
Although Colonel O'Rourke was
unable to set the date of his de-
parture from Lockett or estimate
when interviewing would be con-
cluded, he surmised that he and
his assistant will remain at the
camp "the better part of this week"
and possibly next. The IG man flew
from Salt Lake City to California
and arrived at Lockett Tuesday.
Telephone conversations concern
ing the investigation or centering
on the actions of Colonel Chamber
lin have been effectively stopped at
the center. When reference is made
to either, camp personnel has been
instructed to refer callers to the
commanding officer
