NAZI POWER IN RUTHLESS HAND
Giant Economic Structure Would -Continue Even. If Hitler Died.
WASHINGTON, June 15 (U.P). -—Hitler could die right now and ‘the Nazi party could be completely revamped, the office of war infor-
‘mation said today, but power in 3 Germany would remain in the same
ruthless hands—the giant economic and industrial combines, particularly the Reichswerke of Hermann Goering. : . OWI based its assertion on reports from the European press and radio and on data supplied by va-
tion proving that “the large industrial and financial concerns of Germany have extended their control over the entire European economy under the protection of the Nazi party and through the use of the
litical terror.” Heart of this many-tenacled oc-

A motion to dismiss the cases was withdrawn by defense attorneys recently when they filed a motion for change of venue from Judge W. D. Bain of criminal court.

2 YOUTHS FLEEING GARAGE FIRE NABBED
Two 18-year-old boys, seen climbing last night from a window of the Edward Demaree garage, 21st and Dearborn sis., which was damaged by fire, were captured by soldiers at Ft. Harrison where they had fled when pursued by a cabdriver. The cabman, Louis Sowers, 901 N. New Jersey st., saw a flash in the garage and then saw the two boys leaving it. The youths jumped into ‘a car and raced out to the fort, following by Mr. Sowers, where they left the auto and tried tq run away. They were placed .in’ He ¢ until turned... to riffs.
At the garage the fire destroyed a tractor and trailer and caused $1000 damage, but firemen extinguished the blaze before two other trucks were damaged. Police were told that gasoline has been missing from the garage. The boys said they were attempting to steal some gasoline and accidentally started the blaze when they struck a match to see the contents of a gasoline tank,

RURR'S SMOKE 1S SIGNIFICANT
Evidence Shows Bombings ‘Destroying Valley’s Production. Copyright, 1943, by The Indianapolis Times " and ‘The Chicago Daily News, Inc. LONDON, June 15.—Out of the vast pall of smoke hanging over the
Ruhr valley and coastal naval bases, several highlights in the Whitsun-
tide’s “greatest air raids of the war
against Germany” emerge today: 1. All gvidence shows that the Germans are doing their utmost to evacuate light industries from the Ruhr valley further eastward, but their more important heavy industries, anchored by the nature of
their equipment, are being sliced down increasingly under uiiied programatic destruction. 2. American combat crews, under fighter attack for nearly two hours in Sunday’s battle over Kiel, were bombed from above by what they believe is a new type of German anti-aircraft bomb. Suicide squadrons of German fighters, determined to break up bombing runs regardless of cost, were seen machinegunning Americans parachuting from riddled Flying Fortresses. The total number" of German fighters shot .down in the Kiel battle probably will not. until the alTies are able to get at the German archives after the war—since many of the German losses, ‘unofficially estimated at more than 100, were attained by gunners later shot down in the 26 bombers we lost on Whitsunday.
Fighters Bomb London
3. For the third successive morning, German fighter-bombers, probably Folke Wulf-190s, which can carry two 500-pound bombs or one 1000-pound bomb, jabbed at ‘metropolitan London today, killing at
"|least seven personn when bombs
smashed siburban houses in the first of two moonlight alerts. These moonlight sorties are being magnified by Berlin in an attempt to make the German home front believe that London is getting another blitz. However, a small number of aircraft made up the invading unit as London's barrage thundered into the skies. : 4. It is highly significant of things © come that American Thunderbolts, the tubby, ‘barrel- -shaped P-37s, were able to penetrate Sunday as far inland as Liege on the Belgian-Ger-man border, nearly 150 miles from the coast. The week-end raids by American heavy bombers were made without fighter escort, but the day is not far distant when United States 8th air force missions will be able to have fighter cover.

and claimed that 20 raiders were shot down. Residential districts of other Western Germany towns also were bombed, the broadcast said. Besides Oberhausen, the western Ruhr aso Includes such important targets as Duisburg and Mulheim, and other arms cities. Oberhausen has been raided only twice previously by the R. A. F, on Oct: 11 and Nov. 7, 1940. Situated six miles northwest of Essen, its ind )s are blast furnaces and steel works, British medium and fighter bombers carried the offensive last night to France, Belgium and Holland, bombing and strafing German communications. 8ix barges were hit on. the Seine near Rouen, France, and a nearby locomotive was strafed. Other barges were hit near Dixmude and Roubaix and airfields were attacked at Abbeville and Poix, Two Planes Destroyed Two enemy planes were destroyed over their bases in Holland. Mine-laying operations completed the night’s offensive. The assault on the western Ruhr was believed heavier than Sunday night’s raid on the Rhineland, but far smaller than the record attacks
Munster, when considerably more thar 2000 tons of bombs were dropped in the heaviest raid of the war, or even that of Saturday night on Bochum. A few German nuisance raiders fillered through London’s heavy anti-aircraft barrage last night for the third straight night and touched off two air raid alarms. Seven persong were killed by bombs in one district, but a communique said damage was light.
Bomb East Anglia Other German raiders scattered a few bombs over southeastern England and East Anglia. Authorities disclosed that German daylight hit-and-run raiders now are dropping small anti-person-nel bombs, apparently with the aim of killing or maiming as many persons as possible, instead of highexplosive missles that mainly cause property destruction. The anti-personnel bombs generally weigh four pounds and splinter. into hundreds of pieces the size of bullets. Some do not explode on impact, but burst when picked up. With a handle several inches long projecting from the explosive head, they resemble oversized baby’s rattles.
Arms Production Cut Colin Bedinall, well-informed avi-
said today that repeated heavy air raids on Germany's Ruhr valley have cut so deeply into Germany's arms production that axis plans for a summer offensive in Russia will have to be changed. “Even if reasons of morale force Hitler to launch some form of attack: in Russia,” he said, “It is certain now that it will be on a considerably smaller scale than contemplated even three months ago.” The destruction of only two of Essen’s 300 workshops deprived the Germans of nearly 1000 military trucks and at least 150 locomotives, Bedinall said. ~ “The destruction of Dortmund is catastrophic,” he said. “It is estimated that it may be years before Dortmund is able to work as it once did." The damage at: Duisburg affected railway and river communications for hundreds of miles. , . . “It may be a long time before it is possible to say that the Ruhr has been extinguished as an industrial force, but there is no doubt that it is suffering a battle of attrition of incalculable effect on the whole military strength of the axis.” Berlin dispatches to Zurich newspapers. said that the Germans acknowledged that the American raids on Wilhelmshaven, Cuxhaven, Bremen and ‘© Kiel Friday and Sunday and the British raid on Dusseldorf Friday night caused “enormous” damage and casualties, Hitler's own newspaper, Voelkischer Beobachter, said that some regions which have undergone 600 air-rald alerts and upwards of 200 actual ‘ raids were suffering from “unbearable physical, nefvous and mental stress.”
