Assists in Hunting Black Market Operators in Gasoline Here.

(Continued From Page One)

But the counterfeiters, it appears, outsmarted themselves by threading some coupons, the genuine counterparts of which had not been threaded by OPA. Bogus gasoline tickets are circulated in all large Indiana cities by . on€ of the.most extensive distribution setups to appear on the crime scene since the demise of prohibi-

tion, secrpt service officials asserted.

In many cases, truck drivers with established routes have been enlisted by black marketeers to con~ tact certain gasoline station operators who serve as the principal agents, they revealed. Present in‘vestigations point to the East coast as the origin of the fake ration stamps, but Chicago evidently is a prmary distribution terminal, they

eh Assistant Secret Serv{ce Chief James J, Maloney said in Washington today that suppression of coupon counterfeiting activities was its second most important function, the protection of the President being No. 1, Mr. Horton indicated that staff limitations in the Indianapolis office preclude any wide-scale prosecution tactics in this area. 80 far, OPA has been given supreme authority in actual prosecution of coupon counterfeiting cases and unless the local office is augmented by additional personnel, it Spears that this custom will continue, with secret service agents \serving in advisory capacities only. _ Shad Polier, head of the national secret service enforcement corps, appealed from Washington today for funds with which to buy evidence against black marketeers, “No other law enforcement agency in the country is asked to break down crime rings without funds to buy evidence,” he said. National secret service officials said their aim was to smash the gasoline black market before iis

' criminal directors, impressed by

profits from bogus ration coupons, * were tempted “to branch out into currency counterfeiting.” Meanwhile, John E. Scott, chief OPA enforcement attorney for the Indiana district, blamed lack of * public co-operation for the sudden outcropping of phony coupons. OPA personnel shortages make it “virtu-

ally impossible” to trace the state-

. wide black market Wparaions, he " complained. “We have only 10 smvestigators for the 91 counties in the Indiana district. We have to spread ourselves too thin to even make a dent in this racket,” he declared.

mined garrison and that, at the end of the blasting attack, the Germans

were still full of fight. One-small hill topped by a strongpoint was constantly in the center of the bombardment and it was there that our infantry met its toughest opposition when it started to back into the town. One result of the bombing, which did not work to our advantage, was to be expected, but may not have been taken into sufficient consideration, Massed bombing of Cassino, which was already in ruins, completely blocked many streets which were already full of rubble and which we had made efforts to clear during our first six weeks in the northern edge of the towfn.

Bombing Not Answer

It also ruined roads in the vicinity which were necessary for the advance of our tanks and wheeled vehicles, Our engineers will now have to clear these lanes under fire from the multiple mortars with which the Germans are now shelling the approaches to the town, We cannot go into full detail in regard to the accuracy of our bombing, but nobody who was there will deny the assertion that some of our heavy bombers missed badly.

E Coss Was 2 Creat Show. But Nazis Are Still There

Our medium - and light bombers were “right on the button” time and again, but their bomb loads were less destructive. The fact that the Germans are still able to defend one hill, after the colossal battering it had received, is nothing short of incredible. It must be accepted as irrefutable evidence of the repeated statement that brave and seasoned troops, given sufficient time to dig in, have to be dug out with the bayonet and grenade. Nobody will attempt to deny the Germans credit for being able to ‘take it” after what we we saw today. What miiltary experts will have to ask themselves, on the basis of this experience, is to what extent we can plan on the air force to clear the way for us through strong German defense lines in western

We cannot turn a force the size of the one we used today on every fortified town and village we encounter in future, or, if we can, the reduction of strongpoints by such means will certainly be unpleasantly expensive and tedious. Bombing, in other words, just does not seem to be the answer.

German troops on the French invasion coast, apparently werg de-

signed as diversionary attacks to .

draw off night fighters from the main blow at Stuttgart. Forty-one bombers were lost in all the night's operations from Britain, the air ministry announced. British Wellington bombers from Italian bases simultaneously bombed Sofia, capital of Bulgaria, last night to bring new pressure against Hitler's shaky satellites to get out of the war. The raid was the sixth on Sofia by American or British bombers and a German DNB dispatch ‘reported - it caused “heavy damage.” . The British-based RAF night assault exceeded in weight any previous one-night offensive by more than 500 tons. The number of bombers involved was believed the largest ever sent out by the RAF. Engine Works Smashed Swiss dispatches said that portion of the attack concentrated on Southern Germany was of unparalleled dimensions. The triangle formed by Karlsruhe, Mannheim and Stuttgart belched flames whose glow could be seen in Zurich 100 miles away, the dispatches said. Watchers along the Swiss-Ger-man border said “terrible detonations” were audible from the direction of Stuttgart soon after an hour-long .- procession of heavy bombers crossed over Lake Constance. Though there was no immediate confirmation, air observers believed the R. A. F.s big four-engined bombers may have unloaded some of their new six-ton super block

of thousands of incendiaries. The main target at Stuttgart! presumably was the Daimler-Benz, works, which manufacture engines for Messerschmitt and Heinkel planes, as well as for tanks .and | heavy army trucks. The night's raids ended a twoweek lull in the R. A. F.'s heavy night attacks on Germany, during which they made six raids on French railway yards and aircraft plants in an attempt to disrupt German preparations for the de{fense of France against invasion. ‘The raids followed by only a few ‘hours an American daylight attack | yesterday on Brunswick in Central | Germany. | Stockholm said 400 American bomb-| {ers participated in the attack, hit{ting the Miac Messerschmitt -110] | works with “great effect.” Between! 12000 and 3000 persons were killed, a —— dispatch said.
