DETROIT, Feb. 28.-Furthel
Interruptions in Chrysler Corps
war production schedule were
expected today following an
other decision by striking Dodge
main plant workers to continue
indefinitely their defiance Of
back-to-work orders.
Officers Of the International Unit
ed Automobile Workers (CIO) said
they were withdrawing all support
from the strikers" after q motion
for immediate work resumption was
rejected last night at mass meet
ing Of Dodge Local No. 3. About
one-third of the locals member
ship of 1880 attended the meet
ing.
Repeating threats Of disciplinary
action against the local and Its
leaders. George F. Adde's, secretary
treasurer and acting president of
the UAW-CIO, said that from now
on "the strikers are on their own. II
Possible punitive measures include
removal of the locals officers and
appointment of an administration
to conduct its affairs.
The parent unions International
Executive Board summoned officers
of the Dodge local to hearing. The
hearing, set for this afternoon, will
determine action to be taken against
the local, union sources said
The total number of idle Chrysler
employees reached 1900 yesterday
when 5000 at the Dodge truck plant
and 500 In other Detroit area fac
tories were sent home because of a
scarcity Of parts produced at the
main plant.
Company spokesman said banks
Of stocks were running dangerously
low in several other plants as a
result OF what they termed a
creeping paralysis" created by con-
tinuance of the fve-day strike.
The only motion voted on at last
nights meeting was offered by the
locals Executive Board. which had
met earlier to consider a War Labor
Board offer to effect orderly settle
ment of the strikers grievances as
soon as production is resumed. In
volved in the dispute are the dis
charges OF eight men accused by
the company of loaflng on the job
and production quotas in a depart
ment making parts for B-2s bomb
ers.
Stronger Picket Lines.
When that motion was turned
down by a considerable majority
Mike Novak, president of Local 3,
told the members that picket lines
at the Dodge main plant would be
strengthened.
1--WE are taking on a great re-
sponsibility," he added. No date
was set for another meeting. A
motion proposing that the strike
be continued until the Army takes
over" was offered from the floor
but was sidetracked.

list BOMBER COMMAND
HEADQUARTERS, Guam, Feb.
28.-Two hundred and forty city
blocks of Tokyo's most highly
congested industrial and business
district are in ruins today as a
result Of Sundays Super Fortress
raid, 21st Bomber Command
Headquarters announced today.
The greatest punishment yet dealt
Japan's capital was inflicted with
out the loss Of one sky giant Of the
more than 400 which participated
in stormy weather.
Maj. Gen. Curtis lie May, BIS
commanding general, after study
ing the reconnaissance photographs
said the results were excellent
The photos show 29,074 900 square
feet Of important factory and trade
areas burned out. This Is 667 acres
In comparison, New York,s Rookie
Teller City-Radio Center covers q
surface area of less than IL acres
1/55th Of the destroyed area In
Tokyo.
The ravaged area extends a short
distance from Emperor Hirohito's
palace eastward to the crowded
water front.
The Super Fortress assault was
made in coordination with Vice
Admiral Marc A. Mitscher's carrier
based plane attack which hit earlier
in the morning and knocked out
two aircraft plants In the north
western suburbs. After hearing
his pilots reports, the Admiral said !:
II don't believe the Japs will get
them back into production for this
war"
Snow was falling during the at
tack. Bombardiers called bombs
away" while some of their pilots
could not see the wingtips of their
own planes due to the heavy cloud
formations. The remarkable re-
suits attest to the perfection OF the
newly invented precision radio
bombing instruments.
While Tokyo's heart was burn
ing, Premier Kuniaki Koiso called
on the emperor to make apologies,
claiming that imperial property
was destroyed. There was no Al
lied confirmation off his claim.
First Large Attack.
The devastating B-29 attack was
the first made in such large NUM-
beers over the capital during day.
light.
Few enemy fighter planes inter-
cepted the B-29's. A B-29 pilot said
he thought the carrier boys were
keeping them occupied while car
rier pilots in turn said that most
of the japanese flyers they saw were
doing their utmost to avoid combat
The carrier planes also struck
again Monday, hitting the outpost
island Of Hachijo Jima, Its miles
south Of Tokyo.
The carrier planes, on the basis
Of incomplete reports, destroyed or
damaged 233 enemy planes and 81
small vessels and surface craft
They heavily hit the Ota aircraft
plant near Tokyo, which has been
rs per cent destroyed. They also
caused considerable damage to the
Keizumi aircraft plant.

1941 Saw America
Plunged Into War
AS Japan Struck

The year 1941 was a bleak one
for the democratic nations of the
world.
England impatiently asked the
United States when we were COM
ing in, while we went out of our way
in the effort to stay out of the war
and mind our own business.
In the spring of 1941, the Ger
mans invaded Jugoslavia, and
drove the British out of Greece,
after Mussolini's troops were run
ragged by the poorly equipped
Greeks.
Things had reached such a pass
that Rudolph Hess, the deputy
fuehrer," flew to England and para
chuted to safety with what is reli-
ably reported to have been peace
plans for a beaten England.
German paratroopers took the
strategic island of Crete and it
looked as though nothing could
stop the all-powerful sweep of Axis
arms.
Hitler Turns on Russia
But Hitler, baked in the west by
England's stubbornness, decided to
attack Russia.
On June %, 1941, again without
a previous declaration of war, Hit
Ter sent his troops storming into
Russia in the old familiar pattern
of the blitZ.
Russia was supposed to fall in
three weeks, or at the most, three
months. 1t was popularity supposed
to be an awkward giant, big but
clumsy on it's feet and unable to
stand up against the repeated body
blows of the smaller but efficient
German war machine.
Japan Strikes U. S.
While the Germans swept into
Russia and closed in on schedule,
Japan was readying a sneak attack
of her own.
On December 7, 1941, the Japs
attacked the U. s. military and
naval bases at Pearl Harbor and
knocked us, with one foul blow,
into the middle of the world war
The Coolidge examiner., 1945-05-11
"Beginning Of End"
Came With Allied
Victory In Africa

Hitler committed his second stra-
tegic blunder in 1912 when he failed
to conquer Egypt and seize control
Of the Mediterranean.
The Axis knew the value of the
Mediterranean and by keeping con-
troll of the western end through
use of the Italian fleet and Tunisia,
kept the British from using it as
supply line for Egypt and the Suez
canal. But that was not enough.
British conveys dared the Italian
fleet and brought supplies to en-
battled Malta, bombed day and
night like nothing was ever bombed
before. But the supplies went
through and Malta stood, giving
the British base.
Field Marshal Erwin Rommel,
the German commander in North
Africa, had made two attempts to
end British resistance in Lydia.
The Axis forces had almost been
successful in the first two attempts
but had been checked and then
driven back. Now, Rommel de-
cided to try again.
Rommel launched the third and
final Axis, offensive against Egypt
in May, 1912. Nothing happened
at first and then the British were
ambushed and lost almost all its
armor-a tragic blow at that stage.
The British fell back to Ell Alamein,
only 60 miles from Alexandria, with
their backs to the wall.
The Axis was beaten in the Medi-
terranean when the British broke
through in a counterattack at Ell
Alamein and then drove the Afirka
Korps west to the final defeat in
the fall of AZ and the crushing
Allied victories following the land
ing of American troops in North
Africa on November s, 1912.
