AN HOUR OF GLOOM

(Sana Diego Unlon)
With Six-ton blockbusters being drop
ped upon the city and American fighter
planes over Berlin for the first time, the
gloom of Marshal Goering betrayed in
his speech on Friday, appears to be we'll
founded. Herr Goerine, 1t will be remem-
bered, is the Nazi false alarm who once
proclaimed that mo bombs will ever fall
on Germany
The siX-ton blockbuster, in its devastat-
ing effect upon buildings and war in
stallations, is beyond the comprehen-
sion of most of us. Six tons of TINT,
confined in one small cylinder and ex-
ploded in one spot, can rip the strongest
building to shreds and the conclusion
alone can snuff out all life over an un-
believably large area.
The one-ton bomb. when first used in
this war, was regarded as something
against which no city long could stand.
The British hurled them upon Berlin in
earlier raids and have gradually increas
ed them in size and explosive effect
How long Berlin can withstand them is
a question. the answer of which doubtless
will not be long in coming.
American fighter planes over Berlin
indicate that American air bases have
been moved much closer to the German
capital. These planes have considerably
less gasoline capacity than the bombers
and their range is correspondingly short
er They are faster and, of course, more
maneuverable than the heavier bombers.
Since they now can make the full trip to
Berlin large bomber formations can have
escort support all the way and the Ger
man fighters, upon which the luftwafte
has depended for defense, will become
less effective. Fighter against fighter
will permit the bombers to go their way
with far less interference than they have
encountered in the past.
Goerings gloomy promise OF more
trials yet to come for the German ar
force was no exaggeration. Despite the
stand Nazi troops may be making in
Italy. or the slowness with which they
may be retreating on the Russian front,
the tremendous increase in American and
British air power over Germany adds
more and more weight to the contention
of those who have argued that it is pos
sible to bomb the Nazis out of the war.
Whether it can be done or not, it cannot
be denied that it is making the long
awaited invasion task much simpler.
