Take that royal air force md against Pilsen, clear across Gei- itfany and into Bohemia: That must have caused consternation in the fuehrer's windy camp.

Pilsen is the site of the Skoda armament one of the greatest war plants in the whole world. It straggles over many acres and forms an enviable tai- get for bombers. But Hitler wasn't much worried over Skoda, because it lay so deep in the continent that there seemed little THREE GENERALS CONFER IN -FIELD r- Elsen Command' 1 quarters NE A Telephoto).

BIG INVESTOR BUYING April 19 Q. Citizen is due for some visits by his local war bonds vol- unterr salesmen. By last Friday night--when the treasury's latest official figures were Citizen had bought only S904.000.000 worth of savinsrs bonds in a drive that has its sights set on a goal of 13 billion dollars.

This ilidn't mean that the drive wasn't going along nicely. The treasury announced that a total of more than 9 billion had i Iven-subscribed by Friday night. i 70 percent of the 'total sought had i rome rolling in within less than a week. Big Investor Buying But it apparently meant was that the cream had been skim- i meci off the pool of money which tii treasury thinks can and should be invested in war bonds. This cream, as Secretary of the treasury Henry Morgenthau, pointed" out, was the money from the big investor.

Moreover, Skoda is centrally located and so can supply his forces in all the Europ? can theaters. Raids Profitable But an RAF fleet winged its way some 700 miles clear across Germany, in the- midst of flying flak and attacks by fighter planes, to deluge peaceful Pilsen with ''-death and destruction.

At the same time another contingent of 'British bombers smashed at the industrial cities of Mannheim and Ludwigshafen in Germany The two raids employed 600 'heavy bombers, and 1,500 tons of bombs were loosed on the Boche. The British loss of 55 planes wasn't costly enough to make the operations unprofitable. Simultaneously the Russians made another raid on Koenigsberg, the great German supply base in Bast Prussia. Neighboring Danzig and Tilsit also were bombed. The red airmen inflicted considerable damage.

But the British and Russian raids were only part of the story The attack by American Fly-ini Fortresses on the Focke-Wulf air plane works at Bremen, resulting in more than half the factorie being destroyed or heavily dam aged was a further heartening demonstration that allied victorj is on the wing. This expedition represented th 'deepest penetration our bombers had made into German territory, 'and it was an astonishing feat. It was done in broad daylight and the huge bombers were unescorted by 'defending fighters. The distance was too great for fighter support. This meant that the Fortresses 'had to fly across about the strongest anti-aircraft defenses on the continent.

It meant that they had to battle their way through clouds ofsiGerman fighter planes, as is shown by the remarkable fact that the Yankee crews shot down some tifty nazi machines.

SOVIET PLANES BUSY MOSCOW, April 10 Germans are stiffening their ground forces in the Kuban region of the Caucasus with large air units In an effort to hold their positions against a red army drive to push them into the Black sea, a dispatch to Pravda said today after the Russians had thrown back repeated German counterattacks. Twenty-five enemy planes were shot down and eight more crippled yesterday alone In air battles In this sector as crack soviet pilots thwarted enemy attempts to raid the red army positions, Pravda said. Enemy ground troops, concentrating 'their forces, launched a combined attack on Soviet positions.

Pravda said the Germans often advanced walking upright with fire from Soviet heavy mortars and rifles pouring into their ranks. The mid-day communique said he Germans launched fresh forces an attack last night and succeeded In breaking into the soviet renches, but were repulsed after a fierce engagement in which they suffered heavy losses. Rumanian troops also were employed in the Kuban fighting and uimerous hand-to-hand fights developed, but they ended invariably in favor of the red army, Pravda said.

On several sectors, it was said, the Russians followed up frustrated German counter-attacks and succeeded in gaining improved positions. The mid-day communique said there were no important changes on the front. South of Izyuni, on the Donets river front about 70 miles southeast of Kharkov, the Russians attacked during the night and captured better positions on a new line, the com- munique said. Dispatches from the Leningrad front said Soviet bombers and Stormovik fighters attacked a large enemy fighter base on the Leningrad front and destroyed 19 enemy planes. The fighter escort, it was said, accounted for six German fighters while the bombers broke through to the airdrome and dropped their bombs.
