Negro Soldiers
Dispersed by Po
lice at Vance Jail
Henderson, Nov. 28. ? Police
Chief J.'E. Parks said today that
a group of Negro soldiers from
Camp Butner came to police head
quarters here shortly before last
midnight and demanded release
of three Negro soldiers who had
been Jailed earlier in the evening.
Several hundred Negro soldiers
from the camp attended a dance
here, and three were taken into
custody by police who said their
conduct was boisterous.
The number who came to de
mand release of the three was es
timated at 50. Chief Parks or
dered the men to disperse and
leave as other policemen, armed
with riot and sub-machine guns,
lined up in front of the building.
Officers said some of the sol
diers muttered as they left that,
"We'll be back," but Parks said
they never came back and there
was no further trouble.
Camp Butner authorities were
notified, and soon a truck-load of
military police arrived. The three
Negroes held by the police were
turned over to military authori
ties'. ,

Fortresses Raid
Industrial Town
London, Nov. 30. ? American
Flying Fortresses, winding up the
Eighth Air Force's best opera
tional months of the war, today
bombed the Ruhr city of Soling
en, east of Duesseldorf, by day
light in the first Allied attack on
that target, site of a high-grade
steel plating mill and a plant
making metal alloy for German
fighter planes.
The big four-engined American
bombers, accompanied over their
target by Thunderbolts and Light
nings and covered in withdrawal
by RAF, Dominion and Allied
Spitfires and Typhoons, had an
unusually strong escort for the
mission, which brought the
month's total of American heavy
bomber attacks from Britain to
a record 11.
Two heavy bombers and five
fighters were lost, while seven en
eumy aircraft were shot down,
six by the withdrawal-covering
fighters and the seventh by a
Fortress.
"With a population of 150,000,
the city was described in an
Eighth Air Force report on the1
raid aa "one of the most indus-;
trialized cities of the Rhineland"
and the home of the largest non
ferrous metal casting foundry In
Europe. The foundry's produc
tion was used in building German
fighter plane engines.
Solingen, three miles square,
lies 1 mile southeast of Dussel
dorf. It was well-known for the
manufacture of cutlery and wea
pons even in peacetime, and was
celebrated in the middle ages for
its sword blades.
