loaded up with bombs and fuel, and then. flew 700 miles northwest to their target. ing Commander James B. Tait, ‘ofie of six crewmen who gave a detailed report on the mission to a special press conference, said the bombers went in over Tromso fjord at 13,000 feet and drew fire from the Tirpitz’ main 15-inch batteries while they still were 10 miles away.

Brave Heavy Flak

Scores of anti-aircraft batteries lining both sides of the narrow fjord joined in the barrage, throwing up a wall of flak as intense as anything the Germans ever used to defend their former U-boat base at Brest. The first two bombs fell a few yards to port of the battleship the next scored a direct hit near the bow, and the fourth blockbuster caught the wounded ship squarely amidships. A great black plume of smoke and a blinding flash of white fire shot 300 feet into the air and the German guns stopped firing. Other planes swarmed over the dreadnaught in waves of five, dropping their bombs into the rolling clouds of gray and brown smoke that prevented them from seeing any further damage. As the last bomber turned back toward Scotland, the Tirpitz heaved up in the water, rolled over on her back and sank. London observers believed the sinking ‘of the Tirpitz probably would be followed by a transfer of another major portion of the British home fleet to the Far East, to participate in the war against Japan. The destruction of the Tirpitz in a Norwegian fjord Sunday by a fleet of 29 four-engined R. A. F. Lancasters at last removed the most serious threat of all to allied convoys plying the sea lanes between the United States, Britain and Russia.

The London Daily Mail jubilantly proclaimed that the royal navy now was “free to give its undivided aton to Japan.” The loss of the Tirpitz reduced Germany’s naval striking power to two so-called pocket battleships of only 10,000 tons, the Lutzow (formerly the Deutschland) and the Adm. Scheer; three heavy cruisers and assorted lightc ruisers and: destroyers, nearly all of them immobilized in the Baltic or in Norwegian fjords. 2 The Bismarck, a sister ship of the Tirpitz, was sunk in action in the Atlantic May 27, 1941, while the 26,000-ton Scharnhorst was sunk in’ battle in Arctic water in Decentber, 1943.

* _ MANUFACTURERS, on the basis of this year's crop, probably will: get a little more tobacco in the next year than they had in the present year, Mr.. Gage believes, but he thinks they're turn= ing out’all the cigarets now that they have labor to produce, Growing tobacco is rated an essential endeavor, he says, but manufacturing tobacco products is not, and so some workers have been leaving the industry to take jobs elsewhere, Manufacturers haven't been able to get new machines and can hardly keep their old ones in repair, he says. Also, there has been a pinch in cartons and containers in some cases. » » » IN 1939, the U. 8. had the largest crop of flue-cured tobacco on record. ' Great Britain, needing dollar exchange for munitions, pulled out of the U. 8. tobacco market. The U. 8. government bought an amount about equivalent to what Britain had bought, but prices were generally low, and production controls followed. When this country entered the war its own consumption climbed —consumption’ is related directly to industrial employment— and for.a four-year-period more was needed, domestically and for export, than was grown. n s s MR. GAGE says not only consumption of cigarets, but of chewing tobacco and snuff, too, had boomed with war, though use of smoking tobatco was off in the first eight months of this year. As the nation scrambled for cigarets, the office of price ad-

in some cases cigarets had sold as high as 25 cents and 30 cents a pack, and although officials did not think the black market was extensive, they appealed to the public not to patronize the “vest pocket and suitcase” vendors. ” 2 » AN OPA official said’ that the “pattern” for possible black market operations in cigarets was being set up — shortages, buying rushes, hoarding — and urged people “not to pay fancy prices or buy more than needed.” Also, it was pointed out, the fellow stocking up on all the cigarets he can find may get fooled. An OPA official reminded that cigarets are “mildly perishable” and will not keep indefinitely.

automatic doubling of the rate on Jan, 1 as provided in the law, His new bill, which recommends freezing the tax for “one final” year, also calls for a study by the joint congressional committee on internal revenue of payroll taxes for old age and survivor insurance. Vandenberg said provisions of the present social security law were “contradictory” and that the entire social security subject should be taken out of controversy and “be permanently settled.”

House Agenda Listed

House Speaker Sam Rayburn said he hoped the lame duck session's legislative slate could be wiped clean by Dec. 10. He told reporters that the phi cipal business awaiting house ac-tion-was the extension of the second war powers act, the senate approved measure to spend $1,350,000,000 matching state funds in a post-

war highway building program, and a bill to revive the federal crop insurance program. Rayburn said he believed the war powers bill would “take mighty little time” but admitted some disputes were expected over the highway and crop insurance bills. Rayburn said he and other Democratic. congressional leaders will confer with President Roosevelt tomorrow. Until then, he added, he will not know whether the President plans to ask for any legislation. Mr. Roosevelt is expected to submit nominations soon for a number of important offices, including a three-man surplus war properties disposal board, and successors for Chairman James Lawrence Fly of the Federal: Communications commission; T. A. M. Craven, F. C. C. member; Chairman William H. Davis of the war labor board, and Clarence E. Gauss, ambassador to China. Fly has resigned effective Nov. 15, Craven has quit, and Davis, two other W. L. B. members and Gauss have notified the President they want to be relieved of their posts,

Financial Panic

The U. 8. office of war information reported that Stockholm press dispatches said financial = panic worse than that experienced during the bank crash of 1931 was sweeping Germany. The report, relayed from New York, said “runs” had started on many German banks after the arrest of two prominent German bankers, The bankers were arrested ostensibly for refusing to accept shortterm German treasury notes, the report said, suggesting that the actual reason might have been a refusal to support the Labor Front bank, “which has been reported in financial difficulties.” , Official allied circles remained aloof from the growing discussion over Hitler's health and where-
