YANKEES FIND
KRUPP FACTORY
BLOWN TO BITS


Essen, Germany, April 9.-Ninth
Army forces entering Essen found
the Krupp armament works perhaps
the most pulverized spot in Germany.
Not wheel had turned in it since
March IL, when RAF bombers gave
the Krupp factory its coup de grace.
A tall, bespectacled man, an en-
ploye of the Krupp works until it
went out of business last month, sur
rendered to Ninth Army troops as
they reached the city limits. He said
it was relief to know that "those
god-awful nights and days of bombs
have come to an end"
81 think about 1000 people were
killed that night" the tired looking
German said. after that, Krupp had
no lights and the Essen railroad was
destroyed.
The Essen railroad was the trans
portation link in the huge Ruhr
armament productio Mine. 1t had
stops at Hamborn, Oberhausen, Kali
senkirchen, Bochum, and Dortmund,
ell surrounding Essen with a COM
bined prewar population of almost
100000 persons.

1t is of basic help in carrying out
national and state programs of ma
ternal and child health and welfare.
For instance:
The nationl and state governments
set aside funds for those programs.
The money is allotted in accordance
with the number of births registered.
Unless all births are registered, the
amount of money set aside is less
than it should be. So, fewer children
get the care they might have.
Every month birth certificate re-
cords from state health departments
are sent to the census bureau in
Washington.
The bureau puts together and pub

DEAD BABY is SENT BY
MAIL; INVESTIGATION ON

Palo Alto, Calf, April 10.-A dead
baby boy sent through the mails to
Palo Alto from Dallas, Texas, started
police and postal inspectors on a
search today for both the sender and
the woman to whom the parcel was
addressed.
Dr. Bert Davis reported after an
autopsy that the boy was born alive
and died from suffocation, possibly
after being placed in the mail box in
which he was mailed.
Postal inspectors noted an odor
from the box after the postman re-
ported he was unable to find Miss
Betty O'Donald, to whom it was ad-
dressed, and there was no such street
or number as 1862 Merced avenut."
The inspectors directed A. H.

He escaped from the prison camp
in Poland while the Germans were
trying to move the prisoners back to
| the fatherland in the face of a swift
Russian advance.
Shrapnel cut his right leg as he
passed through the Russian lines to-
ward the rear, but for ten days he
hobbled on through Poland.
Thompson explained that the Rus
SLAMS were busy advancing and the
rescued men made their way to the
rear on their own.
AS he reached the point where he
felt that he couldn't go another foot,
Polish girl found him and took him
to her home. For six days she nursed
him and cared for his infected leg.
Then he started on again.
"She saved my life," Thompson
said, "and Pm going back to Poland

medium and fighter bombers from
their advanced bases.
The momentum of the massive
assault ragged unchecked into the
night. The Raj announced that
swift Mosquito bombers, carrying
tWo-ton block-busters, again h a d
raided Berlin and the overworked
German "achtung' warning serv-
ice said other bomber formations
were over the Reich.
The tremendous daylight assault
was amazing to behold, either
from the air or the ground.
One Eighth Air Force pilot, 1t
John Mitenbuler of Lorraine, Ohio,
gave this vivid description:
1.-The bombers were hitting
bridges, freight yards, tunnels and
transportation everywhere. There
were so many planes in the air
you couldn't move. Bombers and
swarms of fighters were piled lay
er on layer. The country there
will never stop bouncing.
Fires were burning everywhere
as far as I could see. In one
freight yard every time a salvo Of
bombs hit, big balls of flame
would shoot up, sometimes higher
than the planes themselves.
Instead Of dropping their bombs
from 10000 feet or higher as u.s.
ual, the four-engined Fortresses
and Liberators swept over their
targets at about 10000 feet. Bomb
er gunners were so close to the
ground they used their machine
guns to shoot at railway cars and
other objects.
Few Nazi planes were encoun-
tered and the Allied escorts kept
them from getting close to the
bombers. At most points flax was
not heavy.
This absence of opposition from
the enemy and the brilliant SUM-
shiny weather over most Of the
objectiveS permitted care u l
bombing and excellent results. A
few of the bombers ran into
clouds and had to aim by instru-
ments.
The escorting fighters famed
out later to strafe moving trans
portation and machine-gunned at
least 100 locomotives, 300 railcars
and 80 motor vehicles.
The Eighth Air Force fighters,
taking on what opposition devel-
oped, shot down six enemy planes
-four jet-propelled.
Tactical Air Force fighters sped
back and forth across the battle
lines, making repeated flights,
and running into more action than
planes of the Eighth Air Force
A late count last night showed 81
enemy planes destroyed in the air
and 20 Allied planes missing.

ed by U. S. Navy bombers just
before the Marines landed. The
capture of this island outpost will
afford the Yanks with an airbase
which will place Tokyo under the,

Erskine, began landing Wednes-
day afternoon indicated that an
American invasion force Of per-
haps 10000 was pitted against an
original enemy garrison of prob
ably 10000. In addition to out
numbering the enemy, the Devil
Dogs had the support of American
warships and American carrier
and land-based planes command
ed the air.
Fighting on Two is concentrat-
ed in two sectors, the northern
where the Marines are driving for
the central airfield, and the SOU
thern where the objective is the
enemy-held fortress Of Mt. Surf
bachi, an extinct volcano honey
combed with defenses.
Several heavy enemy counter
attacks in the northern sector
were beaten off Wednesday night,
Nimitz reported, and then on
Thursday the Marines launched
northward attack of their own.
Their drive for the central air
field encountered heavy fire from
small arms, mortars and auto
matte weapons.
BY noon Thursday, fighting in
hard rain, this force was ad-
vancing slowly. 1t had knocked
out numerous Nipponese gun po-
sitions and generally weakened
the airdrome's defense, Nlmltz
reported. However, he added,
there was little change in the po-
sition of the front lines"
In the southern sector, the
Ieathernecks launched coordi-
mated attack up the steep slopes
of suribachi. They fought under
the most difficult combat condl-
TONS" said the communlque.
Every few feet there was an en-
eny pillbox. Japanese resisted
from every cave and crevlce IN

S,1ribachi was isolated early IN
the invasion from the japanese
farther north when a Marine COZ
,mn drove across the southern edge
of Two, whose bleak eight square
miles conceals it's tremendous I'M
nortance as the southern doorstep
guardian to Japan.
Two has two completed airfields
and one under construction The
most important, known as Moto
wanna airfield No. /, was captured
two days ago. It was used by Japa'
nese bombers in their attacks on
Saipan. the American B-29 base
about $50 miles southwark in the
Marianas. The central airfleld IS
known as Motoyamma No. 2.
American warships which plas'
tered Two for several days In a
heavy pre-invasion bombardment
continued to shell the northern
area of the island, Ninitz reported.
! Although weather conditions were
adverse, Fleet aircraft also main
tanned their support Of the ground
forces with heavy bombing, STRAIT
ing and rocket attacks.
Difficulties also were being en-
countered by the Yank forces pour
ing ammunition and supplies
ashore. But these were caused by
nature-the rain and the loose COM
position of the volcanic ash shore
line.
The one bright spot in last night $
communicate was that the aug
nented Fourth and Fifth Marine
Divisions had been able to knock
