STRATEGYT0 PLANES DROP DEFEAT NIpS ROBOTS OVER
 DE(lDEDIL0ND0N AREA
First Flying Bomb Attack in More than Two Weeks
 Hits South England

LONDON, Sept 16 German robot bombs, which may be launched by airplane, smashed at southern England and the London area shortly before dawn, under scoring the governments warning that evacuees should not flood back to the capital.
 One flying bomb wrecked seven houses, and in one of them five children and one adult were killed outright. Four others in the same area were seriously injured.
 It is the first flying bomb at- tack in more than two weeks.
 Allied armies are oyerrunning most of the coastal regions on the continent from which the flying bombs were first launched, but the Germans still hold Calais, Bou- logne and Dunquerque on the French coast and unspecified areas on the Belgian coast and all of the Netherlands coastal regions.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Gt. Col Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army)

WASHINGTON-R moguls can scarcely conceal their joy over Col. J. Monroe c'Rowboat') John- son, director of the Office of De- fense Transportation.
 Known in his home state of South Carolina more for his op- eration of fishing boats than big time transportation, "Rowboat" is very versatile He now suits the railroads perfectly.
 Here is the latest inside story of his operations:
 Before Attorney General Riddle filed his antitrust suit against western railroads, "Rowboat" John soon pulled every possible wire to block the suit Backstage, he howled vociferously, even at the White House. But the suit got FDR's blessing, and was filed.
 This, however, did not stop Johnson, Hearing that Attorney General Riddle was holding con- ferences on the West Coast, Row boat" demanded that the Office of War Information force Riddle to clear with the OWI in advance every statement he made to the press. With the Attorney General

4TH INVASION OF REI(HLAND IS REPORTED
Tanks Thrust Through Ten Mile Breach of Main
 Seigfried Line

LONDON, Sept. 16.-U. s. troops have thrust through a ten miles wide breach of the main Siegfried Line east of Aachen, in one of four developing invasions of Germany Berlin indicated that the break through is approaching the Rhine, l50 miles souGh.
 In France, besides their power drive beyond encircled Aachen, Am erican First Army men deepened two other wedges into the fortifi- cations system and made fourth crossing of the Reich's Frontier.
 The Front at Aachen widened to Is miles with the capture of Lam mersdord in the southeast.
 German broadcast reported street fighting in Aachen, and the Berlin radio indicated that the U. s. Third Army. in a sweep south- east of Nancy, is approaching the Rhine. A "fluctuating battle' is on in the eastern Vosges Moun- tains which come down to the Rhine, it declared.
 A Front dispatch last night said that resistance far beyond Nancy in the vosges toward the German border, 50 to 70 miles away, scat tered only after a scissors attack caved in the whole south end ot the Germans Moselle Line. The armored drive of the Third Army was underway again soon, it is said, and pushed ten to fifteen miles beyond Nancy.
 The fourth crossing of the Ger man Frontier came 63 miles below Aachen, about midway between thrusts already denting Nazi forti- fications near Irier and Prum, Su- preme Headquarters declared.
 A grand Allied drive is beating eastward along a curving 500 mile front from the Swiss Frontier, south of Belfort to the Channel coast around Schelde and Estuary, neal the Dutch border
 The drive beyond Aachen appar- ently contained the gravest threat to the Germans but, although there is no doubt that the main steel and concrete defenses of the Sieg- fried Line were preached. Head quarters took the view that more lines and positions lie ahead.
 A U. s. First Army spearhead is driving down the last 30 miles to- ward Cologne and the Rhine River and is pointed at Berlin, 3l5 miles away.

vISTULA |S
 CROSSED BY
 RED ARMY
First Big Nazi Armored At- tack Hurled Baek-11
 localities Seized

MOSCOW, Sept. 16-Red Army patrols crossed the Vistula from captured Praga and secuted Ger man positions at Warsaw, while Russian and Polish troops hurled back the first big Nazi armored at tack on their positions in the east bank of the suburb.
 Field dispatches said that eleven localities north of Praga are de- clared to have been seized by Rus sian and Polish units, and there. is an increasing pressure on Warsaw.
 Patrols are reported to have brought back information on the disposition of Nazi defenses of Warsaw, but Moscow gave no in- formatoin on whether the crossing w;~s accomplished in force.
 The Red Star said that Germans have sent numerous tanks and self propelled guns to aid their troops between the Vistula and the western Bug, but nothing helped"
 Meanwhile, there is reason to be- lieve that violent fighting is break lng out in many new sectors of the Eastern Front. The initiative is completely by the Red Army and preparations are said to be con- rlete for the Russians autumn and winter campaign.
 It is believed to be only a matter Of days before German forces from Finland to Yugoslavia will bear the klunt of the drives by veteran Rus san Armies, refreshed and eager to march into the Reich Moscow re- ports said that the Soviets are par ticularly eager to resume the Baltic campaign.
 A Berlin broadcast said that the Russians in a new offensive have crossed the Nyemanek River, 37 miles below Riga, the Latvian cap- ital. No confirmation was made by Moscow.
 A new drive, aimed at crushing two German armies of the north, was made by several Russian col umns converging on the German, Hungarian stronghold of Targul- Mures and snaring San Georgiul De Padure, 14 miles southeast of Cnibed

 Amphibious assault forces landed yesterday on Morotai northeast of Halmahera Island within 300 miles of the Philippines.

 Specific objections immediately were filed as to Ickes' authority in turning over vast areas to the Indian petitioners and denying equality of fishing and other rights by attorneys representing trollers, the canned salmon industry and lumber industry.
 Petition Entered
