The R. A. F. bombed Berlin and struck simulaneously last night at Germany's great industrial citadels in the ceéntral Ruhr and Czechoslovakia. Thirty-four planes in ail were lost, the same nuniber lost the previous night during the heaviest raid of the war on the inland port and industrial center of Duisburg in which almost 1000 planes dropped more
{ than 1500 tons of bombs.
The raid on Berlin was the 624 of the war on the German
capital and the first since April 20
when Rostov and. Stettin alsé were |
attacked. The air war—the long sought goal |
of smashing at the axis “fortress” of | Europe from all sides and without
cessation—was literally in progress
almost every hour of the day and night, seeking to give the enemy no time to rest or recover before a new blow was struck.
The onslaughts also increased axis| fears of an invasion as a result of |
the complete allied conquest of Africa and preparations to strike at one or many points on the] continent.

Among the demonstrators will be Mrs. Ryth Buel, Indianapolis Power & Light Co.; Miss Louise Braxton, Indianapolis public schools; Miss Stena Marie Holdahl, home ‘economist of Kingan & Co., and Mrs. Aneta B. Vogler of the Red Cross nutrition committee. The meal planning guide, to be distributed to employees, is designed to help the homemaker plan the most nutritious meals in accordance with allotted ration points. It contains menus for every day in the month and up-to-date war recipes that are taste-tested and stress the foods that are on the market in
abundance. Need Cited Necessity - for the nutrition pro) gram was cited last night by Frank) Brownson, Washington representative of the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co. and a memper of the food distribution administration of the department of agriculture. He addressed the assoociation at the Indianapolis Athletic
club. “The food situation is more serious
{now than most people think it is,
and will continue to get worse,” he warned. “The public is not aware of food shortages, because those shortages are being ignored in publicity released by the office of war information.” He predicted that even with a bumper crop this year this nation still would be several million tons short of normal requirements for the civilian population because of incerased demands by our armed forces and lend-lease. Program Ys National The Indianapolis “Health for Victory” program is part of & national movement to insure equitable food distribution, he said. Through the meal planning guides, homemakers will learn to get more out of less food in times when there is less and less food available. Officers of the association sponsoring the program include C. R. Weiss, Link-Belt Co. chairman; J. W. Dunn, Stewart-Warner Corp., co-chairman; J. R. Pollard, Eli Lilly & Co. secretary-treasurer, and Mrs. Robert H. Tyndall, chairman of the Marion county nutrition committee for the office of civilian defense, Mr. Weiss, who presided at the meeting, described the Health-for-Victory program as “a vehicle for civic good that we, jointly, can make into an active contributing organization in the community.” He

more Jews. The men grabbed hidden guns and resisted, killing 60 Nazis on the first day. The enraged Germans called in reinforcements and began a S§ystematic clean up. The Jews fought them from house to house and from behind walls. They held out until the Germans salled tanks to batter down their houses and other defenses. Finally the weary and out-num-bered Jews fell beneath heavy Nazi firepower.
20 Machine-Gunned
Twenty patriots were machinegunned to death during riots in Amsterdam as shootings, sabotage and mass strikes spread everywhere, a Dutch refugee government spokesman said. The Germans spread leaflets calling for the uprising to speed the “hour of liberation” in an effort to find the leaders of Dutch resistance, it was believed. The spokesman said a liberation army of 75,000 was in hiding in the Netherlands to spring to the support of any invasion. A similar surge of revolt was reported in Belgium. Belgium exile government sources said the “people are on edge” and that sabotage was spreading. Several German soldiers were said to have been killed.
Children Sabotage
The Dutch spokesman said grade school children wrecked an antigircraft gun and killed seven soldiers in Rotterdam. The patriots lost their lives in fighting storm troops in Rotterdam, Utrecht, Arnhem and other towns. Forty-eight executions were reported, 18 of them believed to have been in trying to suppress a strike in Amsterdam. A Dutch national committee of liberation, led by prominent men, is directing the sabotage, the spokesman said. An effort was being made to suppress the uprising until it can be bolstered by an invading army. The incidents reported included the wrecking of five locomotives by a railroad man at Utrecht after he killed four Nazi soldiers and the burning of German fuel dumps and textile stores by Dutch workers in Amsterdam. As Mussolini tried to bolster his people to resist, reports indicated the Germans were ready to give up Italy as a fighting partner. The Exchange Telegraph agency reported from Zurich that Mussolini had thrown out 10 of his Fascist secretaries and replaced them with ruthless party men to suppress defeatism.

Meanwhile, most of the independent stores have not yet been informed of the regulations, and several managers revealed that “all we know is what we read in the newspapers.” As a result, the grocers warned that when housewives go to the store Monday many of the canned items will not be remarked. And | in some cases the prices may be| higher than those allowed by the OPA regulations. B. 1. Tharpe, secretary of the retail grocers’ association, protested that OPA makes “no effort to notify retailers before prices become effective. “They should pass the regulations out to the retailers at least 15 days before the effective date and give them a chance to make the necessary changes,” he said.
Receives Order Late One grocer reported receiving the
three weeks after the effective date. Another retailer pointed out that he was first informed in last Sunday’s newspaper of the flat ceiling prices on many food products which went inte effect Monday. Since it was impessible for him to re-mark his goods in time for business Mon= several customers called the OPA office who then “took me to task.” The grocers maintain that the
regulations regarding ceiling prices,
OPA instructions are complicated, conflicting and impractical. Many, | they say, are issued piecemeal and |
