BERLIN FEARING |

INVASION BY AR

Alert Against Paratroops of Allies Reported in Burning City.

By ROBERT DOWSON United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Feb. 5-—Unconfirmed| Swedish reports said today that the, German high command has ordered all Berlin on the alert against a possible allied attempt to land paratroops in the burning, refugee: | packed city.

approach of the Red army. ~ | The Nazi leaders themselves tacitly admitted Berlin's desperate | plight by clamping a rigid news - plackout on the city and forbidding | civilian refugees to leave without | special permission. Beginning to Crack

A thin trickle of news still “was seeping through the Nazi - ensorship to Stockholm. These accounts indicated that | Berliners were beginning to crack up under the threat of Russian in- | vasion and the grim reality of Anglo-American bombing. “Por 24 hours the city has Been. in a state of alert against a possible sirborhe landing to take advantage | of the chaotic conditions,” a Stock- | holm. dispatch to the London Dadly | Mail said last night. Civilian refugees and eastwardboiind troops were said to be hopelessly jammed up at the city’s main railway stations.

Acts of Terrorism

One Swedish account said Ger-. man army deserters and foreign workers were terrorizing paris of | the capital. The first real break in Berlin's morale apparently was. caused by

the terrible American daylight raid 2

on Saturday when 1000 U. S. 8th air force bombers literally tore the heart out of the city with a 2500-', ton bombing assault. | Reconnaisance photographs taken | during and immediately after the raid disclosed that scores of bomb | hits were made in the center of the city. The bomb hits blanketed the areas | occupied by the German air and | propaganda ministries, the war of-| fice, chincellory, gestapo headgquar- | ters, ‘and other government build-

hit, touching off “spreading fires that covered a section one .mile wide and two miles long. Billowing clouds of smoke and] flame were reported still rising two miles over the city late Sunday,

more than 24 hours after the at-|

tack. Swedish sources variously estimated Berlin's casualties in the raid "at 12,000 to 20,000 people. Many of them were said to have been refugees caught in the open! around a railroad station. * There appeared little doubt that the American and British air forces

would return again and again to|

repeat the attack until Berlin has! capitulated. That certainty was reported add- | ing to the terror inside thé beleagured capital.

VATICAN CITY, Feb. 5 (U. P.). Adolf Hitler is hiding in a small monastery at the outskirts of Salzburg, Austria, reliable Vatican

The report was sald to have

been brought here bevesal days

ago by three. Jesuit priests. ® » » uw " THE PRIESTS reportedly were turned out of the monastery when it was taken over as a secret headquarters for the fuehrer shortly after the abortive attempt on his life last July. The informants said the Jesuits reported they personally had seen Hitler walking in. the monastery gardens several times, CI THEY SAID a large wound on the left side of his sealp had not healed. He wore only a light bandage, they added, as doctors hoped the alr and the sun would effect a cure.

Hitler was reported to have become dreamy and apathetic, find ing it difficult to concentrate. 8 8»

OTHER'NAZI leaders were sald

to have difficulty in getting him to work on necessary speeches.

It was sald” Hitler refused fo go to his Berchtesgaden head-

quarters after the July attack.

‘This, it was claimed, was be-,
