LONDON, Feb. 27.-The Red Army, breaking through for 30 miles in Pomerania in bid to slice Dan zig and Glynia from the Reich, thrust to Bubiltz and Rummelsburg, 28 and 38 miles from the Baltic, the German Command said today in a Berlin broadcast
 The broadcast said the Soviets have forced even beyond Rummels- burg on the military highway, 31 miles north to Stolp, communica- tions center which is 62 miles east of Danzig.
 The Russians have thrown bridge heads over the Neisse River, 50 to 50 miles southeast of Berlin but, ac- cording to the Berlin broadcast, these were knocked out and Reds forced back
 Tank battles are reported raging along the Oder and Neisse rivers and suggested the First White Rus sian and First Ukrainian Armies might have opened the offensive to topple Berlin.
 The bridgeheads on the Naisse river might indicate Soviet attempts to outflank the river bastions of Cu- ben and Forst, but Moscow remained silent on the activities at this gate to Berlin.

TWO NIPPON PLANTS ARE
 HIT IN RAID
Aircraft Factories Near Tokyo Shot Up Sunday
 Ships Are Sunk

U. S. PACIFIC FLEET HEAD QUARTERS, GUAM, Feb. 27-Car- rier aircraft of Admiral Mitscher's force heavily damaged two Jap aircraft factories, destroyed or damaged 233 planes, and sank five small enemy craft in strikes on Tokyo and Hachijo lima, ITS miles south, on Sunday and Monday.
 Faced by only light opposition, although flying under extremely adverse weather conditions" the at tacking force lost nine planes and suffered slight damage to two others, while the lighter units were withdrawing from the section, Ad- miral Chester w. Nimitz announc- ed, giving no indication as to the size of the air force making the raids. The Japanese report varied from 600 to 1900 planes as the size of the attacking force.
 Five pilots of downed American planes were saved, Nimitz an- nounceS.
 Prime targets in the Tokyo area were the Nakajima aircraft plants at Ota, 50 miles northwest of Tokyo, and Kaizumi, three miles away.
 The Ota plant was 75 per cent destroyed as the result of the at tack of the Superforts. Fifteen per cent of the remainder war dam aged.
 Hachijo Jima, which belongs to the Izu Island chain, is situated almost directly athwart the air route from the Marianas to the industrial area of Tokyo. Since Pearl Harbor, the Japs developed the Island for aviation purposes, extending the airstrip and develop ing others.

t UNITED STATES PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUARTERS. GUAM, Feb. 27-The capture of Two Jima in few more days" was today pre- dicted by It. Gen. Holland Smith, after the Marines won critically important hill in the central plateau during 400 yard advance through probably the heaviest fire of the bit ter campaign.
 As American planes flew from Iwo's main airfield for the first time, the top Marine commander of the Pacific told newsmen that heavy fighting was ahead for the Devil Dogs on Northern Two, but we expect to take this island in few more days"
 The General estimated almost half of the five mile long island was in American hands at the start of the second week of the fiercest battle Of the Pacific war. T consider, that progress satisfactory" Smith said He reported the Tanks were becoming more battle-wise and casualties are relatively smaller each day

 MacArthur said the Common wealth is now "at liberty to pursue it's destiny in the family of free nations
 President Osmena, replying, spoke of Gen. MacArthurs military opera tions as crusade and urged all Filipinos to submerge political diff ferences and quickly revive their commonwealth. He. expressed the hope the United States can accord full freedom to the archipelago this year

SECURITY <.

General Arnold Contends Postwar America Must
 Maintain Superiority

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27-Gen. H. H. Arnold who contends that the security of postwar America must rest with air power, declared the price of freedom from conspiracies and assaults by international gang sters is eternal vigilance and the possession of men and weapons cap- able of destroying the enemy promptly before he destroys us."
 Chief among those weapons, said Arnold in his annual report of the Army Air Forces which he heads, is an ably manned airforce of fully equipped planes which should not be allowed to become obsolete and be based at strategic locations.
 Gen. Arnold predicted that any future aggressor would strike with air power and the United States would be his first target.

Report on Accidents
 |nAir Is Coming Up; s Has Been for Months

 compares with the Army Air Force report some month earlier that the primary training rate of fatality was one to approximately 43,500 hours.
 In World War I, the training fa- tality was reportedly one in every 1,l46 hours and by 1889, it had been reduced to only one in 16,O00 hours
 Now, if no breakdown mars the conclusions that may be drawn from these figures, flight training at the very peak of pilot output was safer than ever before three to four times safer than in 1889 when training was a comparatively slow and easy process on a very small scale.
 There you have both sides of it.
 If Sen. Langer and those interested with him are successful in drawing out complete report, it should be interesting. In some respects, it may be even sensational, turning up inexcusable accidents due to faulty plane construction as well as training carelessness. On the other hand, the overall picture may show an air training safety quotient greater than driving an automobile for couple of full lifetimes. Most aviation officials here think that in the long run, the emphasis will be on the latter, with perhaps some outstanding criticisms that may do much good both in the armed ser- vices and postwar civilian flight training.
