Air Blows insufficient
Red General Declares

MOSCOW, March 9 Up -
Adolf Hitler will not fall from
bombing alone, but by the "ac-
tive operations of land Army
of many millions in cooperation
with the air and sea forces" 1t.
Gen. Boris Sterligov declared in
Red Star today in commenting
on the British-American air Of
fensive against the Reich.
Sterligov said that in the be-
ginning the attacks on Hitler S
homeland might have been in
terpreted as revenge raids for
the attacks on London, but it
was now clear they have other
purposes.
Foreign military specialists
say these operations are strate-
gic bombing designed to weaken
the war effort, disrupt transport
and break down morale. The
role of the bomber is extremely
great but it doesn't mean it can
solve any strategic problems, -"
he declared.

NAPLES, March g. up -
The Germans are using tanks
against strikers in Milan and
other industrial centers of Nor
thern Italy, the Bari radio said
today, as the National Commit
tee for Italian affairs called on
all Italians under German rule
TO take up arms against the
Nazis as we'll as participate in,
the general strike.
German controlled broadcastS
from Northern Italy admitted
that more than 100000 Italian
workers had responded to the
general strike call.
These broadcasts said that M.
Ercoli, chief of the Italian Com
munist party, had slipped into
Milan from Switzerland in JAN
uary to organize the strike.
Italian Communists say that
Ercoli, whose real name is Pal
miro Togliatti, has been in Rus
STA. The Communist party con-
vention in Naples in February
issued an appeal of the Allied
governments for the return to
Italy of Ercoli and other mill
tant and Anti-Fascists still in

statement that he charged higher
price in October, 1912, before coffee

The new OPA restaurant regula-

be charged for coffee is the highest
price charged during the week of
