BIG AERIAL FLEETS
Over $500 w appliances
Plaster Europe With
Over 1850 Tons So

LONDON, Thursday, May IL
R-Great fleets Of Allied war;
planes, totalling more than s.
500 bombers and fighters from
bases in both Britain and Italy,
plastered Hitler's Europe with
some 1850 tons of bombs yester-
day in the 26th consecutive day
of the historic aerial offensive, and
there were indications that Raj
night raiders were following up
the daylight attacks.
Shortly before midnight radio
stations in the Reich and occupied
territory gave warnings of ap-
preaching planes and several of
the stations left the air afterward.
GA nuisance" raid on Budapest
was announced by the radio in the
Hungarian capital in a brief broad
cast recorded by the Federal
Communications Commission.)
The daylight assault was spear
headed by American heavy bomb
ers based in Italy with attacks on
Wiener Neustadt in old Austria
and Knin in Yugoslavia.
American and British medium,
light and fighter bombers from
Britain spent the day in methodi-
cal blows at rail centers and an air
field in France and Belgium.
The continuing onslaught quick
ly followed overnight and pre-
dawn attacks by $50 Raj planes
on 10 high-priority targets that
included the Channel coast and the
Paris and Berlin areas. German
installations along the French
coast received probably their
heaviest attack OF the war.
| The American Liberators and
Fortresses based in Britain stay
ed at home, the first time in II
days that a full day has passed
without at least one mission for
the big dump trucks"
The Italy-based Liberators and
Fortresses hit the Messerschmitt
factory and nearby airfield at
Wiener Neustadt, 81 miles south of
Vienna. for the sixth time, re-
turning to pound the buildings
that survived the previous raids.
They encountered heavy anti-air-
craft fire and numerous enemy
fighters, several of which were
shot down, but no figures were
available for losses of either side.
At the same time a Liberator
formation death a new blow to
Knin, Yugoslav rail junction 40
miles north of Split and 30 miles
northeast of Sibenik in an ap-
parent assist" to the hard-fight-
ing Yugoslav Partisans.
The British air ministry broke
a precedent by announcing Of
ficially that 1900 British and
American bombers and fighters of
all types made Tuesdays attacks.
This was the first time that the
total number of planes engaged in
single days operations ever has
been stated officially. From that
huge force, losses were six heavy
bombers, two light bombers, three
fighter-bombers and 10 fighters
a total of 81 planes lost out of a.
900, or one-half of one per cent.
A great night and morning load
of $500 tons of bombs was de-
posted on Europe by Raj planes
from Britain alone. The attack on
German installations directly
across the channel in France
caused explosions both before and
after midnight so heavy that they
broke windows in Britain.

OUR ALLIED HEROES

Not of valor would you sing,
But the peace and joy you bring
You touch our hearts with pathos
yet untold,
AS we write your names on hon
or's scroll
We know the paths you have trod
And remember you when we con-
verse with God.
Tyrants deeds are but scum and
dross.
Fight ye valiant soldiers to en-
blazon the cross.
We would place rings on your
finger and laurels on your head
And supply you with plenty
As you remove the ak drawn over
our heads.
AS you battle pagan forces to be
free,
Count it not loss to die for liberty.
Hear our loving, sorrowing spirits
mourn,
For the ones gone on to that
mysterious bourne.
To your needs we are not indis-
Greet,
But work as elfin builders of the
deep.
We will meet you in that morn to
bestow the accolade,
In that place where crowns are
made
To all the kindred of every race,
OF every land and every place:
AS the great drama of life you
unfold,
Your deeds shall endure as untarn-
ished gold.
Battle our foe till his fate he dread,
And watch him writhe as a snake
without a head.
To freedoms flag he must give as
sent and nod,
If you please a tyrant you displase
God.
In his tactics no peace can e'er be
found,
AS innocent blood cries to us from
the ground
Here's to the men Of brain and
Drawn,
Heroes brave and heroes strong;
An adversary cannot over step his
bounds,
AS justice triumphs where love
abounds.
Only God on high can keep the
score,
Till moons shall wax and wane no
more

Our boys know this. They don't
have to read the heart-rending

what is expected of them.
They are in it.
But they are not flinching not

They will see the grim venture

them is to enable our fighting
men to carry through the grim,
bloody assault to a successful con-

Not just American dollars - but
the dollars in your pocket-in your

You must buy War Bonds now!
At least twice as much as you
bought last time. If you are
already buying Bonds on a pay
roll savings plan, buy EXTRA
Bonds during this Drive.
Your Government is counting on
you. Your boy, and your neigh
boris boy, are counting on you
just as you are counting on them

Reds Say Poles Appeal
To All Allies for Arms
BY the Associated Press.


The Soviet Embassy yesterday
published report that the National
Council of Poland. iet-Sponsored
agency opposed to the exiled Polish
government in London, had appealed
to all the United Nations for arms
for Polish Peoples Army.
The State Department declined
comment. refusing even to confirm
or deny that such an appeal had
been received by this Government.
The United States and Britain rec
ogniZe the Polish government in
London. Russia does not. recog-
niZe it.
The report was credited to the

an unidentified writer, described as
a representative of the National
Council of Poland
The Peoples Army cannot ac-
cept into its ranks all who desire
to join, owing TO the lack of arms, -

we could create an army several
thousand strong.
The Polish people through the
National Council of Poland have

Psychiatrists Attack
Figures on Reflections

DR.. Winfred Overholser, director
OF ST. Elizabeths Hospital. and fell
low officers of the American Psy-
chiatric Association Of which he is
secretary, yesterday fired another
round in the dispute between the
psychiatriSts and the psychologists.
They issued a protest against an
article by Henry C. Link, editor of
the Journal of Applied Psychology,
in the current American Mercury
Other officers who joined in the
protest were DR.. Karl Bowman,
president of the association, and
DR.. c. c. Burlingame. chairman of
its Committee on Public Education.
Mr.. Link, whose book, The Re-
turn to Religion sold by the hun
dred thousand few years ago, wrote
that Army psychiatrists were caus-
ing mental casualties by labelling
men "neuro- -psychiatrics." Most of
these casualties never wore uniform,
he said. They were the 1,340,O
selectees rejected by draft boards
as neuro- o-psychiatrics
This statement is an example of
careless use of figures the
statement said ''Flattered as the
psychiatrist might be by such
record, we must admit that $4,000
of that number were rejected for
mental deficiency by the psychol-
ogists."
A psychologist Is a student of
the mind, a psychiatrist is a ply
sician who specializes on mental
diseases.
