joined the attack on Nazi strong points in southeiMteru Europe. They bombed the main rail staliou and rail yards at Linz, the biggest transport center left to the Nazis in Austria. It is only 65 miles from the Russian lines. Along with the attacks on the Berchtesgaden area, hundreds of Flying Fortresses and Liberators bombed the Skoda arms works at Pilsen, .probably the last major source of weapons for the Nazis. Just before tl>e big bmpbers struck, supreme Allied headquarters broadcast a waruiug over the Luxembourg radio to slave workers to leave their benches Immediately and remain, away until afternoon. The Skoda works, only a lit lie more than 40 miles ahead of American third army spearheads, were the pride of pre-war Czechoslovakia. With the loss of arsenals in the Ruhr and gilesia, Germany must depend almost entirely on Skoda for weapons for her final stand.. Altogether 559 American heavy bombers and 51)9 Mustang fighters were out over Germany and Czechoslovakia today. An airfield at Pilsen and railway targets in Germany also were hit. t . o PLAN PROJECTS FOR (Continued From Page One) power. The election of officers of the local flight unit will take place as a step in the organization of the group, it was stated by members of the committee. o DRIVE BREAKS (Continued Frcnn Page One) admitted that “nothing now seems possible to stop” the extermination of the Japanese nation. “The enemy seems bent upon using them (B-2?s) to utterly destroy the Yamato race in a manner far greater in fury than any bombings our. Axis partners in Europe experienced,”. Tcflcyo said. “In the carrying out of the enemy’s announced program for total extermination of the Japanese nation, nothing now seems possible to stop this vicious enemy.” The frank acknowledgement was made in a Tokyo report, disclosing that superfortresses destroyed 770,000 homes and rendered 3,130,000 persons homeless at Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe and Nagoya. Crewmen of the superfortresses Which raided the Hitachi aircraft plant at Taehikawa, 14 miles west of Tokyo, yesterday reported they “blew the factory all to hell” with several concentrations of bursts among buildings covering 1,000,000 square feet. The, B-295, four of which are missing, shot down 13 Japanese fighters during the attack and

probably destroyed 18 others. The crewmen said they saw one Japanese plane strafing three parachuting Americans. NAZIS MAY HOLD (Continued From Page One) tory.
