and fighters was jumped by a group of l6 Messerschmitt lO9s and Focke- Wulf 1908 during the six-hour flight.
 The enemy fighters barrelled down through the bomber forma- tion for one lightning attack, with swarms of mustang fighters riding hard on their tails. At least four Nazi planes went spinning down in flames without the loss of a single American ship.
 The daylight attack followed night raid during which RAP mos quito bombers unloaded scores of 4,00O-pound blockbusters on the battered German industrial and railway center of Stuttgart.
 The night raid on Stuttgart, the fourth on that city in five days. was timed with an attack by Italy-based RAF heavy and medium bombers on Ploesti, in the heart of the Balkan oil field, and followed numerous other assaults as Allied aircraft ranged over the continent virtually unopposed by the Luftwaffe.
 Other BOmbings
 Admitting the raid on Stuttgart, the German Transocean News Agency also reported the bombing last night of Insterburg, 60 miles east of Koenigsberg and hub of rail communications in East Prussia. AL lied sources mentioned neither the Insterburg raid nor a raid of Bu- charest. which was reported by the German DNB Agency.
 The assault on Ploesti followed a daylight bombing of the Manfred Weiss armament works in the Bu- dapest area by Italy-based flying fortsses and hberators, which were over the target for nearly 40 miF- utes despite fierce opposition by an estimated 100 fighters.
 At least IA of the intercepting planes were shot down and seven liberators and five fighters failed to return, Allied headquarters in Rome announced.
 Marauders continued the attack on communication lines in northern Italy yesterday. hitting a railway bridge spanning the Pc River 10 miles north of Alessandria, and bridges and roads at Chiyasso and MonferFato.
 In addition to attacking stutt- gart, the RAP bomber command sent Lancasters and StiTlings over northern France last night to blast again at launching platforms for flying bombs. From al lthe night operations. the air ministry an. nounced. all aircraft returned.

 At the western end of the battle line, American units of the Allied 5th Army moved into position for an assault on Pisa, under heavy fire from German guns studding the heights north of the city.
 Smelling Threat
 American artillery countered heavily, but there was no immed- ite indication that Pisa itself was under fire, despite warnings from 9th Army spokesmen that the an- cient city would be shelled if the Germans continued using its famous leaning tower and other buildings as artillery observation posts.

AAOlLliluGu lIOIH FdsS lD Pucheu and Pierre Etienne Flandin. drovs a hard and not unfayorable bargain with the U. s. diplomatic chief in North Africa, Robert Mur- nhy of the State Department, had its inception in i94l when Franco German trust was formed to control African raw-material bases. It was controlled by I. c. Farben, the Ger man trust which held 5i per cent Of the stock. The rest was held by French chemical concerns. It was their money, 5000, 100000 Francs Of t, that found it's way to Africa to await the coming of the Allies. Reiss said.
 Favorable Rate
 Flandin and Pueheu, he added event to North Africa to assure Ro- bert Murphy that they would collab- crate with the occupation author ities in every way possible. ,. Shortly after North Africa was in our hands, the American admins trati0n offered to exchange those billions of francs at 75 francs to the dollar-an extremely favorable rate since at that time the franc had fallen to i50 francs and more to the dollar"
 still, Riess said, "Pueheu and Flandip and a dozen or two other French industrialists and bankers who had arrived with them didn't think that was enough and they finally persuaded MT. Murphy to fix the official rate at 50 francs to the dollar"
 After the invasion itself, Riess as- serted, those who had aided the Americans in perfecting the Invasion plans either were ignored or pun- ished, while the Americans pushed the Vicbyites and eollaboratoTs into power,
 Both De Gaullists and the Jews in French Africa who had done their utmost to make the invasion possible" were shunted aside after the invasion, General Giraud, Os- teneibly sleeted by Washington and London to lead the liberated French actually was chosen by the French lndustrialists, the Brothers De WeD- del, PeyTim0H de Fontennelles, Pierre Etinne Flandjn, Pierre Pu- ebeu, and others ;"
 Tt seemed, in short that every one who had helped us to land was being punished, while everyone who had worked against us was being en- eouTaged," Riess concluded,
 Today, these French industrialists who still reside iD Africa, are cons eeTnedw"wOrried because things haye not gone exactly as they had hoped"
 Their main source Of grievance is fGeneFal CbaTlesl De Gaulle, who does not tel bimself bound by aTr Fangemepts concluded before he 1eaebed Africa" Riess wrote.

THEY TRIED-AND FAILED

fBy yohn Edgar EsovcF, Director Federal Bureau of Investigation United states Department of Jus. tfce.)
 Nazis in America have been tak- ing drubbing like the Nazis fac- ing the Tanks in Normandy, the British at Caen, and the Russians ln their victorious sweep through Poland.
 The much-vaunted methodical planning and scheming of the Nazis have contributed to their own down. fall. They tried, but failed to swing their Fifth Column into action in America. It suffered setbacks before Pearl Harhor, butt its back was broken once we were freed of peace time restraints.
 Since Pearl Harbor, over l5.75O suspected Fifth Columnists have been arrested. The more dangerous were intcrned, others paroled, and others released when it was certain they would do no harm
 
 The German High Command ad- nittcd the ineffectiveness of their Fifth Column when they dispatched the eight saboteurs to America by submarine two years ago. We have learned that other saboteurs were trained to take their places. But so far they have not put in their ap- pearance.
 The Nazi rats must not be under estimated. Try cornering rat and sec how he bares his teeth and strikes back. We can expect the same from the Germans until the last vestige of Nazism is crushed by our Armed Forces.
 America has a perfect score in combating the experts in doom and destruction. No act Of enemy-direct- CT sabotage has yet occurred in the United States.
 I am sorry to say that even na- tive-born Americans have tried; I am happy to say that they, too, have failed. One 23-year old worker in an aircraft plant cut 2l wires in two bombers just to see how the EBI handled a sabotage investiga- ton. He found out.
 
 The "biunder Bund," which once scoffed at American faith in human nature. was set back when its chief espionage ring was penetrated by the FBI. We built radio station with their funds gave them mis- leading information, sold them fic- titious plans, and at the conclusion of the case turned over a profit of si7O0O to the U. s. Treasury to buy bullets to shoot back at the supper race".

 Ernst Fritz Lehmitz was caught as the result Of some of his newsy letters designed to conceal reports in secret writing on convoy move- ments. He wrote that his dog was sick. he was busy with a victory garden and as an air raid warden These jig-saw bits Of information were pieced together and after some additional hard work he and his associate, Erwin Harry De Spret- ter, were arrested.
 The Nazi spy, Heinz August Lun- ing, arrested and executed in Cuba, kept canaries in his room to con- ceal the noise of his short wave AaAaO bialothAbbcl.
 Before Pearl Harbor, the Nazi Embassy in Washington had de- tailed plans to foment strikes and incite domestic strife.
 An important Nazi official in this country was discarded by his fi- ancee when sine learned of his scheming against the United States. Another Nazi official offered to pay $500 for documentary proof of the canard and lie that Benjamin Franklin was anti-Semite. The Ger mans built up a dollar balance of over $2l 100000 by selling Rueck- wsllcerer marks in this country prior to the war to be redeemed in Germany. Practically all the Ger man consulates in the United States were active in promoting the Ger man-American Bund.
 Bundists who swallowed the mas ter race" tommyrot tried to develop power and prepare the way for Hit ler's triumphant entry. They black lacked patriotic Americans who op- posed them: swung their Sam Browne belts as weapons.
 Nazi brazennesS reached it's height when Baron von Spiegel, the Ger man Consul in New Orleans, boast ed that the United States would be repaid when the Reich completed its conquest of Europe. A Midwest consular attache was greatly em- barrassed when he was caught mak- ing pictures in a factory area.
 A notable NaA failure occurred when, through carelessness, a Nazi official before the outbreak of war permitted the FBI to copy his little black book containing the names of all of his contacts.
 Heavily populated prisoner of war camps in the United States hold thousands of frustrated Germans. Occasionally, some try to get away. they succeed-for a time. But no prisoner has yet been able to get back to Germany, and their periods of freedoom generally are limited to a few hours.
 These setbacks for our enemies should give us courage. But we must not be foolish enough to grow lax or drop our guard. Their best efforts to penetrate our home defenses must continue to be miserable failures.
