BERLIN HIT IN (Continued From Page One) plant of the sprawling Reinmetall i Borsig plant in the Tegel suburb of Berlin. It produces n wide i variety of war materials, including tanks, guns, bombs and tori I pedoes. Today's communique said the ■'plant was "severely damaged and sei afire." It covers about 25 city blocks, and employs an estimated 25.1)611 'persons. "Large machine and assembly 'i shops, smelting furnaces and 11 forges were heavily hit by bombs 11 which blanketed the entire plant," I lhe communique said. "There ' were large explosions, and when i the bombers turned for home. : buildings were burning through- | >ut the target area." The Borsig armored vehicle ! factory at Henningsdorf, another : Berlin suburb. also suffered "heavy damages" to half the ! plant area. : In the heart of Berlin, heavy j concentrations of bombs crashed in the area of the Schlesischer' i railway station, and hits were i I scored on lhe north station I j freight yards. — —_— () _ Collapsed Bridge On Rhine Repaired I 15 Yankee Soldiers Killed In Collapse Remag n. Germany, March 18 — ; (Delayed! (I Pi A combination! of early German demolition charges | a few indirect artillery bits and the 1 strain of carrying a continuous 1 stream of I'. S. equipment was be-| lieved today to have caused the col-1 lapse nt' the Ludendorff bridge. Am- \ erica's first span across the Rhine.

At bast 15 American soldiers I were killed and many o'hers injur-: ed when tlie bridge gave way at 3 p. m. Saturday and crashed into > tile Rhine with a crunching roar. Officials sp-. cifically emphasized that 1.300-foof railway bridge which I had been refitted for motor ve- ! hit l-s. did not collapse "because of I enemy action." < A German communique disclosed that 'four Nazi officers had been ! exe tiled for failure to blow up the bi idige when the Americans approached.) "It was just old, tired and weak,” i om- high engineering officer said. 1 "The bridge was in a weakened condition when our troops gralbbed it - and mad-- the crossing 16 days ago. I The constant strain of moving ma- ! terials and heavy vehicles across k • during the -past few days proved ■ too much." The flow of supplies to the first army bridgehead was not seriously impeded, however, by b.ss of the bridge. Engineers already, had cou-j structed other bridges since the ini- j rial cressing. Sgt. Alfred W. Enlow. Springfield I 111., who watched the collapse from ! a tc-wer at the western end, said it | toi k about only 10 seconds for the ■ entire structure to go uown. iSoldie. iworkers, who were .re- ’ pairing lhe bridge at the time, were , pinned in the falling girders or thrown into Ute river. Tiie central Span, a 585-foot arch, was almost completely submerged, although the side spans were about. 15 to 25 feet out ot the water. 0 — Suspected Slayer Held In St. Louis — Suspect In Three Murders Arrested
