Tokyo and Koriyama,
100 Miles North, Hit
By Big Raiders

by tnt ASSOcldleQ PreSS.
GUAM, April 12.-Tokyo and in
dustrial Koriyama on Honshu Island
were plastered with bombs by Super
Fortresses today roaring out on a
3,800- mile rourd-trip mission from
the Marianas.
The Naka jima MusaShino aircraft
engine plant was Tokyo target.
Returning pilots who made the
flight, the longest Central Pacific
bombing mission to date, termed
their attack very successful" The
B-29s were escorted by Two Jima-
based fighter planes.
Koriyama targets were not iden-
tilted except as industrial" in the
city situated ITO miles north Of
Tokyo
Weather Unusually Good.
Part of the Super Forts hit a
second industrial target at Kori-
yama in the first raid on that city.
Bombing was done usually from
5000 feet in unusually good weather
and while japanese fighters were
encountered, B-29 crewmen said
they were "on the timid side" There
was no report of Super Fort losses.
Tokyo radio said fleet Of "ap-
proximately $50" Super Fortresses
escorted by "siZable" force OF
fighter planes concentrated an at
tack on Tokyo's west section, while
some so" B-29s bombed Fukushima
prefecture, north of the japanese
capital.
Frequent "feinting' movements
were conducted by the planes, the
broadcast said.
A lone B-29 tented at ShiZuoka
site of new aircraft engine plant
the enemy broadcast said.
VERY Large" Raiding Force.
Fifty B-29s repeatedly struck the
Tokyo area and a similar number
hit Koriyama, said the broadcast
1t was the eighth raid of the wal
and the third this month on the
Musashino factory, prime producer
of fighter plane engines.
Numerous rail lines and highways
from Tokyo into Northern Honshu
run through Koriyama.
Twentieth Air Force headquarters
in Washington termed the BIS
force very large" This could mean
as many as 300 participated.
1t was the second war mission
over Tokyo for Mustang fighter
planes based on Two Jima. On their
first trip the raiding force ran into
a terrific air battle and destroyed
or damaged 278 enemy planes.
Tokyo said the raiders were over
the capital for two hours.
A report on damage at the Mu-
sashino plant awaited reconnais-
sance.

Oval wal Correspondence.
ROME, April 12:-The battle de-
veloping on the Italian front, the
intensity of which is mounting hour
by hour, may become one of the
bloodiest organized battles of the
war. For while there are clear evil
dences of the beginning of the end
in Germany, the fight to smash
Nazi resistance here in Italy still lies
ahead
The German Army is meeting the
9th Army's attack with bitter and
determined ferocity.
In spite of the American Medi
terranean Air Forces plasterings
of their position, in spite of the
fact that they are being constantly
blasted by nearly twice as much
artillery as they possess, in spite
of the probability that they knew in
advance that they would be hit by
all this when the attack came, the
Nazis did not, as they have so
often before, pull back from their
positions.
Holding doggedly under the i'm
pact of the first mass use of fame
throWers in this theater, they
crouched behind their mineflelds
and stayed to fight 1t out.
1t is losing battle for them and
so far the polygot troops of the 9th
Army have been sluggfng ahead ex-
actly according to plan. 1t seems
likely that, with the establishment
Of bridgehead across the Santerno,
an initial objective Of the offensive
has been accomplished.
Reports from the front, indicative
of the fierceness of the fighting,
state that towns which have fallen
before the advance look like Casino
after its capture, having been vir-
tually reduced to rubble. However,
the death toll among civilians has
not been great.
In Cotignola, for example, town
with a normal peacetime population
of 10000, Of whom 1000 chose to
remain after the battle had rolled to
their doorsteps, only 160 civilian
casualties were reported from early
December until the Allies took over
The civilians survived because
they stayed in cellars, even after
the houses over their heads had
been destroyed.
Without in any way attempting
to predict the future course of the
battle, it is possible today to make
one or two obvious observations of

Marion Davies III;
Flies to Hospital

Py the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. April IL
Marion Davies, screen star, was
resting today at St. Luke's Hos
pital in San Francisco from what
was first feared to be an acute
attack of appendicitis.
Her physicians could not be
reached for information on her
condition. but the Examiner said a
medical examination had indicated
no operation would be necessary.
She is expected to remain at the
hospital under observation for about
week.
Miss Davies was brought here by
plane Tuesday night.
A sister, Rose Davies. and a niece,
Mrs. Arthur Lake, came here from
Hollywood to be with the actress,
but were preparing to return home
as her condition steadily improved.

Admiral Scheer Sunk
In Raj Raid on KieI

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 12,-The German
l0,G00-ton pocket battleship Ad-
miral Scheer-one of the two most
formidable warships left in the Ger
man Navy-has been bombed and
sunk at the Kiel naval base, the
British Air Ministry announced last
night.
1t was another crippling blow to
Germany's fast-waning might. The
loss leaves Germany only one other
pocket battleship. the Luetzow, and
was the most serious disaster to the
German Navy since the sinking of
the big battleship Tirpitz last No
vember.
British Lancasters sent the Ad-
miral Scheer to the bottom with
their bombs last Monday night as it
rode moored in the inner basin at
Kiel naval base, the air ministry
said.

the limiting nature of the terrain
Facing the 9th Army from their
bridgehead across the Santerno is
the extensive Argenta marsh, pre-
sumably a barrier impossible in
the military sense. The 9th must
go around it either to the left or
right. If they go left they will be
on the road to Bologna, chief Ger
man bastion before the Po Valley
area. If they go to the right they
will be on the Argenta- -Ferrara road,
which would lead them around
behind Bologna into position
threatening the lines of commune

The latter route passes over
