BERLIN SEA
OF FLAMES
Nazi Capital Hammered
In Gre at est Raid
A thousand-British and Canadian planes made Berlin
a fiery mass of exploding ruin Monday night in the
greatest air attack in all history, tearing out the heart
of the German capital and setting new fires in the indus
trial suburbs which still burned from a massive assault
of Thursday.
"Berlin never can recover this blow," the Stockholm
Aftontidningen declared , commenting on dispatches
from its neutral correspondent.
More than 2,300 long tons of bombs fell on the sprawl
ing German capital, exceeding the record dropped on
Hamburg in the offensive which knocked that German
port out of the war.
The end was not yet. By daylight , large formations
of Allied planes returned to Europe for more attacks on
its Nazi masters.
Mile upon mile of the Europe'e
third largest city, from downtown
Berlin to its outer suburbs, was
subjected to the Are from 5,152,
000 pounds of bombs ? equal to
the total dropped in the record
raid which laid waste to Ham
burg.
No Respite
And their success in executing
the raid, despite what once were
regarded as Impossible conditions,
pointed to only one thing: the
raids are going to be continund
probably constantly increasing
force until Berlin and the Ger
mans are through.
The RAF's remarkable path
finder system by which the bom
bers arrived over Berlin to find
their target plainly outlined in
flares dropped by advance planes
turned the once-hampering clouds
to advantage.
No Air Opposition
The clouds were to thick that
the Germans apparently were un
able to get their night fighters ofl
the ground ? the boys returning
here didn't see a single German
plane? and the enemy must have
figured it useless even to try a
searchlight barrage.
Trifling Cost
All Berlin could do was to
cringe and take it. tossing up a
great barrage of flak. From a
force numbering possibly a thou
sand or more bombers it took a
toll scarcely more than would be
expected from engine trouble 01
other exigencies.
The bombers hit Berlin at
about 8 P. M. in one of the ear
liest attacks yet. They took ofl
in late afternoon from fields all
over Britain, forming a great
loose procession ' across the sky,
then tightening up over the heart
of Nazidom to deliver a solid
knockout punch. All the destruc
tion was rammed home in about
half an hour or less.
It was midnight when through
the static of the control towei
radio came a hoarse but cheery
voice saying, "U for Uncle Call
ing, U for Uncle Calling". It was
the first plane back.
In the star-speckled black sky
two of the stars suddenly swung
down together toward the field.
The stars were the plane's lights.
They were back from Berlin.
City Already Smouldering
The great avalanche of bombs
landed1 on a city parts of which
still were smouldering from the
big raid of last Thursday.
All the districts of the city ol
6,000,000 as well as the suburbs
were damaged and . particularly
heavy devastation occurred in the
center of the capital near Untei
Den Linden, Alexander Platz and
Friedrlchstrasse, said a Zurich
dispatch to the Stockholm Afton
tidnlngen.
Twenty-six bombers were lost
In the great Berlin raid and sub
sidiary operations which includ
ed Mosquito bomber attacks on
Western Germany and mine-laying
in enemy w&ters.
The tonnage of bombs cascad
ed on the German capital prob
ably exceeded the 2,300 long
tons dropped on Hamburg in the
last big raid on that city In Au
gust.
"Horrible Hours"
Berlin today is covered by a
huge black cloud of smoke, Swe
dish correspondents reported.
"We have had horrible hours,'
messaged the Stockholm Afton
bladet correspondent from Berlin
"Berlin burned throughout the
night. Great sections of dwelling
quarters, including workmen',
are a flaming sea of fire. A great
number of Government buildlngt
were hit."
It was unofficially estimated it
London that the bomb load dum
ped on Berlin last night raised
the total weight loosed on the
German capital thus far in 1943
to around 10,000 long tons, com
pared wltb the 7,500 tons drop
ped on London during the battle
of Britain when the heaviest raid
was 460 tons.
BerUn had. been the target toi
I
' bomb tonnage which In each of
the last two raids was at least
equal to tbat dropped on all of
Britain by the German air force
in the past 16 month3.
Center of City Ravaged
Swedish dispatches detailing
last night's damage in Berlin
said the center of the city suffer
ed heavily. Several foreign lega
tions and embassies in the diplo
matic quarter, Including the Swe
dish Legation, were burned to
the ground, the Aftonbladet's cor
respondent reported.
The diplomatic quarter is lo
cated along the Tlergarten not
ifar from the Reich's Chancellory
and other Government buildings.
The Berlin office of the Afton
' bladet, located in Pariser Platz
'Seven at Brandenburger top and
across the street from the United
i States Embassy, was destroyed.

Shipping
Pearl Harbor, T. H.. Nov. 22.?
United States Marines have land
ed on Abemama Atoll, 80 miles
southeast of Tarawa in the North
ern Gilberts, and have improved
their position on both Tarawa and
Makir atolls.
This was disclosed today in a
communique from Admiral Ches
ter W. Nimitz as the public anxi
ously awaited news of progress of
assaulting forces engaged in bit
ter fighting against Japanese art
ilery. machineguns and pillboxes
on Tarawa.
A communique from the Com
mander-in-Chief of the Pacific
Fleet was encouraging, but brief
on this phtise. It stated only that
"our troops have improved their
position on Tarawa and Maklu
atolls, but still are encountering
considerable ground resistance."
One Sentence /
The Abemama (Apamama) as
sault was confined to one sen
tence:
"We have landed Apamama
atoll."
This atoll was believed to bo
defended lightly; and the fact that,
no mention was made of opposi
tion was seen as encouraging.
Similtaneously, Admiral Nimitz
I disclosed that Vice Adm. Ray
mond A. Spruance of Indianapolis
is directing Central Pacific opera
tions and Rear Adm. Richard K.
Turner is in command of am
phibious forces.
It disclosed further that the
Tarawa landings were made by
the Second Marines in command
of Major Gen. Julian C. Smith of
Elkton, Md., the Makin assault by
troops of the 27th Division com
manded by Major Gen. Ralph
Smith of Tucson, .Ariz., and that
Major Gen. Holland Met. Smith
of Montgomery. Ala., of the Mar
ines is in Command of landing
forces.

day with others showing that dur
- ing the past 48 hours aircraft

TO OUR MANY APPRECIATIVE
SUBSCRIBERS
During the past week we have had a large num
ber of our loyal and appreciative subscribers call
at our office and pay up their subscription and in
most all cases a year in advance. Out of the entire
list only two have expressed unpleasantness and
ordered their paper stopped. This action on our
part was not so much to make collections, as to com
ply with the spirit of the order from the govern
ment in this war effort, during the present paper
shortage. We naturally expected our subscribers
to respond with the same cooperative spirit, and
we are delighted that they have responded wonder
fully. We still have a few others to notify and
some of those we have notified have not come in.
We hope you will attend to this at once. This is
war times and you and we are expected to cooper
ate with the government war work. ? Editor.
House Coalition
Beats Subsidies
By Wide Margin
Washington, Nov. 23. ? In a
sledge-hammer assault upon the
administration's "hold-the-llne"
program, the House late today
passed and sent to the Senate a
measure outlawing future use of
consumer subsidies to hold down
food prices.
Amid cries from subsidy sup
porters that the move would re
sult in inflation, the opposition
piled up a foil call vote of 278
to 119 ? enough, if the line-up
remains unchanged, to override
an anticipated veto by President
Roosevelt.
The vote was not an absolutely
clear-cut test of the subsidy issue,
however, because the bill contain
ed two parts: The ban upon sub
sidies. and a provision continuing
the life of the Commodity Credit
Corporation. jp? i ..
Some legislators voted for the
bill although opposed to one of
its provisions. For example. Rep.
Patman (D-Tex,) a leader in the
fight to save subsidies, voted for
the bill, explaining that he want
ed to see CCC continued "and I
expect to get a second whack at
this thing when the President
sends up a veto."
One-Sided Vote
The one-sided result constitut
ed the first vital blow struck in
the second round of the bitter
subsidy battle between President
Roosevelt and a Capitol Hill coali
tion of Republican legislators and
Democratic lawmakers from tho
farm etatou

Patton Rebuked
On Capitol Hill
Washington, Nov. 23. ? -Con
gressional sources said tonight
that Lt. Gen. George S. Patton'*
attack on a shell-shocked soldier
will weigh heavily in Senate con
sideration of the Presidentially
authorized promotion in the per
manent rank of the United States
Seventh Army commander.
Patton is up for promotion to
the permanent rank of major gen
eral. President Roosevelt recently
sent his nomination and those of
13 other prominent generals to
the Senate for confirmation.
The nominations first must be
acted upon by the Senate military
affairs committee, one of whose
ranking Democratic members ?
Sen. Edwin C. Johnson of Color
ado^ ? demanded tonight that the
Army "clean up" the Patton situ
ation.
"America is terribly shocked by
the Patton brutality story," be
said. "A slap on the wrist will
not suffice. Unless the Army
cleans it up, the Senate military
affairs committee will be compell
ed to make a complete investiga
tion."
Pepper's Comment
Sen. Claude Pepper, D., Fla.,
said Patton "should have been
court-martialed and given an ela
borate military punishment of
some kind, such as public re
prmand and or incarceration
for a period of time."
Deman^p for a Congressional
investigation also were heard in
the House, but Chairman Andrew
J. May, D., Ky., of the military
affairs committee, which normal
ly would handle such an inquiry,
said he considered that Patton's
apology to those concerned has
"more or less closed the case."

McNutt About
Ready To Quit
Washington. ? Paul V. McNutt
was described today as "so stea
j med up" that he will quit as
Manpower Commissioner unless
I President Roosevelt vetoes the
j new father draft act.
The bill sent to the White
| House by the Senate on a voice
vote yesterday strips McNutt of
'authority over Selective Service.
| It also is designed to slow down
or halt the draft of pre-war fath
! ers but officials indcated it would
! not bring about any radical chan
1 ges in present induction proce
dures.
McNutt formally told the Sen
late that the legislation sabotaged
j "sound admnistration."

WAR NEWS
Allied Headquarters, Algiers,
Nov. 23. ? Canadian troops of the
famed "Princess Pat" light in
fantry have driven back the Ger
mans in a sharp battle north of
Agnone in Eastern Italy, it was
announced today as other Allied
forces closed in on the Nazis' cen
tral strong point at Alfedena.
London, Wednesday, Nov. 24. ?
German forces, driving back to
ward Kiev and the Dnieper line
without regard for prodigious
losses, yesterday reached the
vicinity of Brussllov, approximate
ly half-way between Zhitomir and
the Ukraine capital, Moscow
acknowledged today.
Russia's operational and sup
plementary communiques report
ed that the Red Army had aban
doned several towns and villages
north of Zhitomir, in the area
of Chernyakhov, and to the east
of the rail junction recaptured
Saturday by the Nazis, around
Brussilov.
The Russian report of flgh*.
ing near Brussilov, 42 miles
southwest of Kiev, indicated that
the Germans had advanced ap
proximately 42 miles since Field
Marshal Fritz Erich Von Man
nstein massed his tanks and in
fantry west of Zhitomir for his
desperate counterattacks. Zhito
mir is 36miles east of Brussilov.
Washington. Nov. 23. ? The Al
lied leadership is preparing tre
mendous psychological and mili
tary blows at the Nazis ? which
can be expected also to have pro
found repercussions in Tokyo.
This became increasingly clear
today as a welter of rumors and
reports flew here and in London
of impending great decisions de
signed to hasten the war's end.
One version of the British capi
tal was that President Rooseveli '
Prime Minister Churchill, and]
Premier Stalin intend to map fi-|
nal military plans and then tell i
the German people in effect that!
they must throw off the Nazi yoke
or be smashed ? a move which j
conceivably might lead to a quick
crackup of the Nazi oligarchy.
All these reports went uncon
firmed officially. In themselves,
however, and the fact that they
were permitted to pass cable cen
sors and to-be broadcast, they
constituted an intensification of
the war of nerves.' Such an inten
sification might logically reach
its climax in announcements from
a RooBevelt-Churchill-Stalin con
ference, though there has not, as
yet, been any confirmation of re
ports that arrangements for such
a meeting have been cpncluded.
