Overwhelming formations of
between 5,000 and 6,000 Allied
planes ranged ahead of Allied
ground forces invading Germany
in the greatest concentrated air
attack in history yesterday, drop
ping 10,000 tons of bombs be
tween the Siegfried Line and Ber
lin And destros’^ing at least 52
more planes of the fading German
Air Force.
”1316 Allied bombers peppered
the attack area with an average of
ten tons of bombs a minute, an
efficient example of "carpet”
bombing introduced In Africa by
Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur Ted
der, now Gen. Elsenhower’s Depu
ty Commander. Tedder has in
tensified the assault method so it
leaves almost nothing untouched
in the area under attack.
’Thirty-three German planes
were knocked out in the air and
29; destroyed on the ground.

No New Cases Polio
In Wilkes County
state-wide figures on the num
ber of infantile paralysis cases
lists Wilkes with 36 cases. It
was learned today from the coun
ty health office that the addi
tional case listed for Wilkes is
an old case which originated at
least two months ago and that no
neii: cases have been reported in

possible that the number for

because old cases which originat

covered.
