U.PJ Mickey Rooney's employers appealed his I-A classification today and demanded that he bi left in Hollywood as an essential worker in an essential industry.

Nineteen bombers were lost In the Berlin attack and in subsidiary raids on western Germany, the Air Ministry announced. The bombers lost in the Berlin attack Included two from the Royal Canadian Air Force. "Reports indicate that results over Berlin were good," the communique said. Though Berlin had been raided 57 times previously, never before had such a great weight of demolition and fire bombs been dumped there. The "thunderbolt" assault was concentrated into a half hour, the Air Ministry said, but in the first few minutes alone huge fires leaped up in the target area.

Bombers cews that came later said they saw the fires 20 minutes before they reached Returning home, the pilots could see the fires from as far away as Hanover and Bremen, the latter nearly 200 miles from Berlin. Four-ton super block busters, capable of devastating a six-acre city block, and two-ton block busters were among the bombs rained on Berlin, the Air Ministry said. All participating planes were four-engined obmbers, it added.

(U.R) Marshal Semyon Timoshenko's northwestern armies pounded toward the key fortress of Staraya Russa today after liberating 302 villages In an eight-day offensive that smashed the most heavily fortified enemy zone along the entire Russian front. Front dispatches said Soviet tanks, artillery and Infantry were driving forward from the newly-recaptured towns of Lychkovo, 40 mlleseast of Staraya Russia, and Zaluchie, 2T" miles southeast of Staraya Russa. A special communique last night said the new offensive had driven the Germans from 907 square miles of Soviet territory below Lake n-men, some 100 miles south of Leningrad. Eight thousand German officers and men were killed and 3,000 captured, it said. The Germans captured the area ir September 1941 and ringed it with powerful fortifications that a German propaganda magazine said city." Timoshenko struck, the special communique said, at a time when the Germans were preparing to launch an offensive of their own against the "most important" Sov iet communications on the north' em front.

The Soviet mid-day communique contained no fresh news of the new offensive, but it reported that other Russian forces had broadened their penetration of the Ukraine west of Kharkov with the capture of a number of additional settlements and also had stormed closer to Taginrog at the southern end of the front. JAP CONVOY MOVING IN GEN. MacARTHUR'S Australia, March 2 (U.R) Fleets of Allied bombers were believed massing today for an all-out attack on a huge Japanese convoy moving toward New Guinea. It was the first Japanese move to indicate reason behind the enemy's concentration of forces in the isands north of Australia which had been underway for weeks. It was revealed in Gen.

Douglas MacArthur's communique today and indicated that the Japanese had been concentrating for offensive rather than defensive action. The communique said that yesterday afternoon, when the convoy was first sighted, weather conditions were such that an aerial attack of the sort that In the past have wrecked Japanese attempts to reinforce their New Guinea forces, was impossible. The convoy, of 14 vessels, including warships and one of the largest the Japanese have ever aimed at New Guinea, was moving behind a storm front, which seemed "made to order for the Japanese," a spokesman at Gen. Mac-Arthur's headquarters said. He added that Allied air fleets were preparing to attack the instant weather permitted.

The convoy was first sighted on Monday afternoon off Uibili and Allied reconnaissance planes shadowed it along the north side of New Britain Island until it was off Talasea, approximately 230 miles northeast of Lae, Japanese base on New Guinea's Huon Gulf. The news followed the warning contained in yesterday's communique that the arc of Japanese held islands north of Australia was being constantly reinforced. On the northeastern New Guinea front, Allied ground patrols from the Gona area. destroyed four large Japanese barges in the mouth of the Waria River. This was the Toughening process!

"It's like this," explained one of Hollywood's top picture makers. "The movies have been classified as an essential industry.

And their workers are essential too, except actors. The Government will defer our electricians and our carpenters. "But the men we really need, our actors, must go into the Army. We're not unpatriotic. We do what the Government wants us to.

And one of the things it especially wants is for us to continue making movies. How can we make them without actors?" He estimated that not more than 10 top flight movie stars of draft age remain in pictures. "And if they go, too," he said, "the motion picture as it is known today will deteriorate seriously.

There were huge beads of perspiration on his forehead and others had run down and made dirty rivulets on his face. "Anna It was Karl, all the latigh- ter gone from his face. "What are you doing!" She was struggling with the knots and was half-hysterical with concern. "Help me, quick, Karl," she said. "Someone has tied this poor boy up and left him here.

Help me!" Instead, Karl grasped her by her arms and pulled her away. "Leave him alone." She stiffened. "What did you she asked, her voice unbelieving. "I said leave him alone. It's none of your business." "But "Listen, Anna." He spoke urgently.

"He is a member of the Pimpf Group, the boys' organization of the Party. Obviously he has done something wrong and is being punished." "Punished? Like this?" She couldn't believe that it could happen. The boyT meanwhile, was rolling his head froi side to side. "Yes," said Karl. i'Even he is try-' ing to tell you that it i our way." He knelt and removed the gag from the pinioned lad's swollen lips.

The boy sucked in the air greedily. Then "We were on maneuvers, he said to Karl. "I was a spy and I was caught. This will teach me not to get caught again:" "It was it it should be," Karl said in his storm trooper tone. "Heil Hitler!" "Heil said the other.

Karl knelt and replaced die gag. "You see," he said, tightening the knots Anna had loosened. "You just do not understand our ways." Anna turned wordlessly. I could see there were tears streaming down her cheeks. Without looking backwards, she ran off again into the woods.

Karl jumped to his feet "Anna 1" There was a look of genuine surprise on his face. He started to follow her. "I think you had better stay I told him. "I guess you just don't understand our ways." He stood there, quite bewildered, and I felt almost sorry for him. Overhead, the skies had grown darker.

There was a crash of thunder and huge raindrops started to come down. It was the beginning of a storm symbolic of the storm that was soon to sweep through Austria, roll over Czecho-Slovakia, Poland, France and finally immerse the entire world.

Tomorrow! "SECOND FLOOR" HALF-HOLIDAY FEATURE! PART 11 The fights continued after that with renewed tury. Hardly a day went by that our students and the uniformed Nazi apprentices from the school across the street didn't come to blows. Nobody got hurt seriously and our bunch gave as good as it got. But 1 couldn't figure it out. 1 knew the Germans taught that all all foreigners, were their natural enemies.

But these attacks were too systematic to be explained by even the most intense nationalistic emotions. The outbreaks were planned and regular, as though operating on a time table. Our kids defended themselves with individual vigor, generally led by Anna. The Germans worked as a unit under the direction of Karl. And usually, before the end of the fracas, the two leaders would come to a per- onal jousting.

1 should have solved it sooner, but one day the answer to the whole thing came suddenly to me. I had just broken up another battle, and as soon as things were quiet I got hold of Karl. "Karl," I said. "If you've got a moment, I sliould like to tell you about Charles Lamb's Essay on Roast Pig." "Roast Pig?" He was polite, but definitely uninterested. "Yes.

Mr. Lamb tells us that it was forbidden for the ancient Chinese to eat pig. One day, Hi-Ti, a farmer, had a fire in his house and a pig was caught in it. From that day on, his neighbors noticed that whenever he rebuilt the house, it burned down again, mysteriously. And every time there was a pig trapped somewhere in it." He laughed dutifully and started to move away.

"Wait a minute," 1 said. "There's niore. Now, it seems that there have been a lot of fights lately. And every time, mysteriously, you and Anna are mixed up in it." He began to grin. "Speaking of roast pig," I said.

"Anna and I are going on a picnic Saturday. I thought you'd like to come along." "Picnic?" he said. "Yes," I said. "Then, you wouldn't have to burn the house down so often He came. Away from the Horst Wessel Schule and his troopmates, Karl turned out to be quite a different boy.

His habitually rigid military manner disappeared. He relaxed, joined in our fun. He and Anna became quite fond of each other and more as the time went on. The street fights stopped, of course, as soon as the jicnics began. Karl managed to slip away and join us every other Saturday, but he kept it a secret from Dr.

Schmidt and the boys at the school. We all got to know each other better. 1 had thought that contact with our free and easy American way of doing things would open Karl's eyes, but I didn't lenow yet how the Austrian paiierhanger's poison seeped through the veins of his young disciples, how carefully they were infected with the virus of National Socialism, until they became part of it and it became part of their souls. We found out, though Anna and I at the last picnic. It started out quite pleasantly, too.

It was a lovely day, with the soft warmness that you find in the gently rolling hills south of Berlin, where the three of us had gone to send the day. For our lunch, we had built an open fire and roasted sausages those luscious German sausages that were still available if one looked hard in those davs, and without ersatz stuffing, too. I was the chef. Anna was setting out the dishes on the cloth we had brought with us and Karl had been deputized to bring some water from the brook for coffee. All of a sudden, I heard a derisive snort from Anna.

"Well," she said. "Look -at Mr. Bruner!" I looked up. Karl had stopped halfway along the path and was leaning against a tree, staring dreamily off into space. "Any time you are ready," said Anna.

"You might start the coffee, Mr. Bruner." Karl breathed a deep, luxurious sigh. "Quiet, woman," he said, "I am creating a whole new world at this moment." "It's a good day for it," I told him. "Having any trouble?" "No. I think I have everything Officer Inspects Auxiliary To V.

"Talking about perfect worlds," I called after him, "There was a poet who liad a pretty good idea of one." "A poet?" "Yes," I told him. "This is what he had to say: 'If the whole world I once could see, On free soil stand with a people free, Then to the moment might I say, Linger a while, so fair thou art "Hmmm," said Karl.

"It's good poetry. Buf who would want the whole world to be free? It would never work." "The world never had a chance," I replied. "But some day it will. The same poet prophesied.it when he said that 'And those who live for their faith shall behold it "Oh what a lovely line," Anna exclaimed. "And it's so true!" Karl stood up and faced us, dangling the coffee pot so that it dribbled water.

"Much too fanciful for us Germans," he said. "Let me splash a little cold water on my face and I'll prove that this wonderful American poet of yours is just a dreamer." "He's not an American," I told him. "It's by a German named Goethe about a German hero named Faust!" There was a moment's silence. Then Karl began to laugh. "Forgive me, Nicky," he pleaded.

I'm a dunce. 1 don't need a little water. I need a complete dunking!" Anna started to giggle. "Always ready to oblige," she declared. And without further ado she tossed a large rock into the water at his feet.

It was a complete dunking, all right Karl gasped as the icy water rose in a splashing shower to drench him from head to foot. Then he let out a roar and started toward her. Anna, on her part, didn't wait to observe the full effect of her aim. Instead, running as quickly as her laughter permitted, she headed for the dense undergrowth to escape the wrath of the dripping creator of a new world 1 chuckled and settled back to enjoy the afternoon air, when suddenly I was brought starkly upright by a resounding scream. It was Anna.

Jumping to my feet, I dashed off in the direction in which she had disappeared. About twenty yards inside the thicket, I found her, just as Karl came crashing up from the other side. She was kneeling, and at first I thought she had been hurt. Then I mer Mount Carmel High. School football player, is presently serving in the Army at Camp Forrest, Tennessee.
