explosives today and kept one oi
the wars most massive and sus-
tanned air offensives rolling through
the fourth straight day.
The Fortresses and an escort OF
$50 Mustangs met no enemy fighters
In the heavy overcast. Two bombers
and two fighters were missing after
the attack.
Bombers of the 18th Air Force
from Italy were reported attacking
Southern Germany for the fifth
straight day.
Opposition Lacking.
Lack of enemy air opposition per-
mitted the 9th Air Force Mustangs
to range as far south as Munich
and Ulm on strafing missions which
shot up Is locomotives, 139 railroad
cars, factory and other targets.
American and British air forces
have put 1900 heavy bombers over
Germany since Tuesday night with
the loss of go planes-slightly over
eight -tenths of l per cent.
Twenty-six cities from the Rhine
to the Russian front have been at
tached in seven operations. On the
average, a 1000 bomber mission to
Germany may drop from $500 to
5000 tons of bombs.
These figures do not include at

lost more than so planes on single

Fighters Score Widely.
While the heavies were attacking
far-away objectives, thousands of
Allied fighters and light and
medium bombers banged away at
targets closer to the front with
equally negligible opposition.

American battleship, two cruisers

This followed his announcement
Yesterday that the bombarding war
ships, believed to include some of
Americas 45,000-ton battleships, had
silenced coastal batteries.
His mention of intense antiair-
craft fire also was noteworthy.
The communique made no refer
ence to enemy broadcasts stating
that two landing attempts yester-
day morning on the south end of

Yanks got ashore to be engaged in
fierce fighting.
Lack of reports from Vice Ad-

Such blackout either could mean
the attacks on Tokyo are going into
