The royal air force policy, illustrated again last njght. of concentrating on railroad centers and junctions in the Reich as well as directly on war production, hits Nazi transportation—an extremely vulnerable point RAF raids lately have wisely included among their primary objectives locomotive-building plants at such places ax Kassel. Nuremberg, Frankfort. Duisburg. Bielefeld, and Cologne. The importance which locomotive production has been given by the depleted refch lx illustrated by the disclosure that such plants now have the same priority claims on Iron and copper ax factories turning out tanks. That coincides with a current drive for scrap tne'al to build locomotives, similar to earlier drives for the production of guns. The conscription of labor in France, just announced, lx at least partly intended to supply some of the 2mi.ouo workmen needed under the present railway stock building program Special Inducements are being offered laborers who can keep Germany's rolling stock in condition. That is not surprising. Fifteen years of neglect of Germany’s transportation system have brought It to a very definitely bud point just when the Nazis' everexpanding activities require It to be 111 good shape. The Nazis found that the conquest of new countries yielded them loot in roll-ing-stock. but that It also brought new headaches In the movement of goods throughout Europe A train going through Germany today. whether It lx carrying food from Frame, taking trucks to the Russian front, or hauling coal to Italy, look- like a railway league of nations. The cars are from every point tn Europe and are identified in languages ranging front Polish and Czech to Dutch and French The Nazis seized 25'» «'oo cars and locomotive* In Frame alone, but In Russia they got only relatively few of the 7 <w>o locce motives there, and they had to change the gauge on those. The looting possibilities in Europe h ive about been exhausted. Further problems such a* lubrication and roadbed deterioration have brought German railway transportation to the point where It is periodically impossible to move any private freight at all And private personal travel (quite aside from Hitler's saying that no one should take a vacation in wartime anyhow* lx possible only with xpe< ial permits It lx difficult to see why the Nazis, usually so farsighted in their war prepaiationx, let their railways go to seed. Doubt lex* they did not count on the crippling of their Inland waterways by 1 freezing a* extensively as has been the case in th* l last few bitI teily hard winters. Probably they 1 counted upon having more gasoline to truck goods along Hitler's pet “autohahnsn," or highspeed mixsioners vs. Mark Moran and others, appropriation suit; county commission-is vs. David Whitacre anti others, appropriation suit; county commissioners vs. Troy Huey and others, appropriation suit; K<>< her Lumber and Coal vs. Adolph Schamerloh. account suit; Amstutz Hatcheries vs. Hiroshi Watanabe, contract suit: Koster Hardwood Lumber Co. vs. A.
