2000 BOMBERS POUNDED RUHR

Dropped 6 Million Pounds Of Explosives in Nine: Nights. London Says.

LONDON, June 20 (U. P.).—An estimated 2000 British bombers, in

Britain’s heaviest and most sus- 4

tained aerial offensive of the war, have blasted and burned vital Nazi war industries with 6,000,000 pounds of high explosives and tens of thousands. of incendiaries during the nine nights, it was said au- * thoritatively today. : + Members of raiding bomber crews reported that great destruction had been heaped on the heavy industries of the rich Ruhr-Rhine area of Northwestern Germany, particularly at Cologne and Duesseldorf. These two cities have been principal objectives of a majority of the attacks, just as they were in last night's. Raging fires started by tens of thousands of incendiaries rained

on industrial areas were said tof

have caused widespread damage. Authoritative estimates were that ‘200 to 300 heavy bombers a night, a total of approximately 2000 in nine nights, had strugk the sledge-ham-mer blows at the. heart of German industry. . Tr It was estimateq they had hurled down 3000 tons of high explosives, probably including some of Britain's new super-bombs, in the offensive carried through nine nights without <gigns of abating. The number of incendiaries dropped was estimated at many tens of thousands. The night offensive has been supplemented by. smashing daylight attacks against the “invasion” ports and supply depots on the Nazioccupied coast of North France and against German shippifig in the English Channel.

The 500-mile racer is now a longdistance - trouble shooter for the Allison Division of General Motors Corp. He is well known here as the Hollywood stunt man who won fifth place in the last “500,” and who has driven more miles on the local track than any other driver.

WASHINGTON, June 20 (U. PJ). —The Government moved today to control all imports of rubber and ration it to manufacturers producing automobile tires and thousands of civilian consumer items. *'The Office of Production Management announced that it will reduce the amount of rubber given to proc-

This means a reduction in the out-put-of automobile tires, inner tubes, boots, shoes, garden hose and ab-

items. The OPM emphasized there is no rubber shortage at the present time. Imports are at the highest rates in history. “However,” the production

| division said, “control is felt to be necessary because of shipping un-| certainties and the need of building|}

adequate stockpiles.” NAME ACTING POSTMASTER

The resolution was proposed by the 155th district and the clubs of Indianapolis and Lebanon, Ind. and it recalled that “United States Rotary clubs do not have a national service program, nor. an organization for develop= ing and supervising such a program, which fact is a challenge and a menace to their continuance.”

BRITISH LOSS 1S 1,000,000 TONS

Admiralty: Reveals Figures For April, May; ‘Says Subs ‘Increase.

"LONDON, June 20 (U.P)—The Admiralty revealed today that

' | Great Britain lost more than 1,000,

000 tons of shipping in the 61 days of April and May and an authoritative source reported that the number of German submarines on the high seas is increasing.

For March, April and May—the

blitz -has been in effect—the -Admiralty admitted loss of 1547.830

tons of shipping, a rate of more _|than 500,000 tons per month.

These figures made it evident that Britain is losing shipping at a rate far in excess of the present capacity of British and ‘American shipyards to replace the losses. Probably total replacement - cannot equal 50 per cent of fhe losses.

Claim Big U-Boat Toll

_There was no indication as to how much Ilgsses have cut into the minimum of 16,000,000 tors Britain is believed to need to maintain her war effort at the present level. THe authoritative British source said, however, that “we have taken a pretty heavy toll” of Nazi underseas warcraft and that the “number of contacts” with German submarines since March 1 had set an all time record. a Hope was expressed by this source that British shipping losses for June would show an improvement over the heavy toll for April and May. The Admiralty’s tabulations placed May as the fourth worst month for losses since the start of the war “and boosted previous reports of April-sinkings -by 100,000 tons to make that month the blackest at sea. The figure for May was 461,328 tons. and the new figure for April was 581,251 tons—a total of 1,042,579 tons. The loss of 98 ships in May brought the grand total since start of the war to 1639 ships of 6,702,807 tons.

Former U. S. Ships Help

The authoritative source said that Britain has been “using more destroyers and corvettes from British yards and transferred U. S. destroyers” in combatting the U-boat menace. ; “4 number of former United States Coast Guard cutters also are in service,” the source said. “The number of contacts with U-boats since March 1 is a record. “The enemy has changed his tactics and gone farther afield. This met some initial success and losses farther south and farther east have risen. “Steps are being taken to deal with this and it is hoped that the June figures will show an all aro improvement.”
