Poland, and blast*,l the enemy's western fropt reln’orcement bottlenecks at Munster and Numbers last night. More than 500 plane* flew 1,800 miles found trip across Europe to blast the 12.000-ton pocket battleships Admiral Scheer and Lutxow and submarines berthed at Gdynia. The crippled 28.0()0-ton battleship Gleisenau also may be at Gdynia. The subsidiary attacks on Munster, northeast of Aachen, and Nurnberg, In southern Germany, presumably were designed to hamper German efforts to bring up supplies and reinforcements for their counter-offensives In the upper and lower Rhineland. German airfields behind the western front also were bombed during the uight. One German plane was destroyed, while five RAF planes were lost in all operations. The attack German shipping at Gdynia, if successful, would ease the German threat to Soviet and FibOlsh shaping in the Baltic. The Admiral Scheer and Lutsow were sister ships of the Admiral Graf Spee. which was scuttled off Montevideo Dec. 17, 1989, alter an encounter with British warships. The Lutsow was torpedoed by British aircraft In Norwegian waters In 1941 and by British midget submarines in 1948, but subsequently was repaired and returned to the Baltic. Three fourths of the postoffices in the United States are in the fourth class.
