Heavy RAF Attack
On Ruhr Resumes
Aerial Offensive
Weather Prevents Full
Observance of Results;
21 Bombers Lost
By the Associated press.
LONDON, April 9.—The RAF,
resuming the Allied aerial offen
sive against Western Europe
after a lapse of three nights, at
tacked targets in the Industrial
Ruhr Valley last night In a raid
from which 21 bombers failed to
return, the Air Ministry an
nounced today.
The attack, in which some of
Britain’s biggest bombers partici
pated, was described officially as
"heavy,” but the weather over Ger
many was bad and it was difficult
to observe full results, a communi
que said.
An enemy plane which took ad
vantage of a high cloud to cross
the coast and head for London
caused air-raid warnings to sound in
the capital before noon today, but
the all-clear was declared shortly
afterward without any report of
bombs dropped.
Specific targets in the Ruhr raid
last night were not disclosed. Ob
jectives in previous raids on this
oft-bombed area have included the
great manufacturing centers of Es
sen and Duisburg.
Ruhr Defenses Strong.
The Ruhr was last bombed the
night of April 3 when a great fleet
of four-engined British warplanes
unloaded a 900-ton cargo of explo
sives on Essen, home of the giant
Krupp armament works, which was
raided twice in March. Twenty-one
bombers also were lost in that as
sault.
The anti-aircraft defenses of the
Ruhr are regarded here as the
strongest in Nazi-dominated Europe.
According to the best information
available in RAF quarters in London,
more than 1,000 heavy guns are con
centrated in that area, including 300
at Essen alone. For every heavy
gun there are reported to be at least
two light ones. More than 500
searchlights also are located there.
In addition to stabbing at the Ruhr
last night the RAF laid mines in
enemy waters, the Air Ministry said.
The Berlin radio said merely that
British bombers had attacked West
ern Germany and reported "a con
siderable number” of the raiders had
been shot down.
Wireless Station Shot Up.
The night raid followed a series of
RAF fighter* forays over Northern
France yesterday, during which a
wireless station near Ushant was
reported shot up.
Fignt bombers escorted by Ty
phoon and Spitfire fighters also
bombed an enemy airfield at Trique
ville near Le Havre last evening.
Tw o RAF planes were reported miss
ing in these sweeps.
The RAF's last major raid on the
continent was Sunday night's heavy
attack on Kiel. Four-motored Amer
ican bombers blasted the Erla air
craft works at Antwerp, Belgium, the
following day, but since then Allied
air activity has been on a compara
tively minor scale.
Meanwhile the Air Ministry news
service disclosed that a Polish air
squadron operating with the coastal
command of the RAF had sunk two
German submarines in two days in
daring low-level attacks launched
from bases in Britain.
The date of these successes w-as not
given.
Civilion Defense Group
Selected in Mid-City Area
A temporary committee to further
civilian defense activities in the
Mid-City Area was selected last
night at a meeting in the Thomson
School, Twelfth and L streets N.W.
Named as members of the group
were Nathan Goodman, chairman;
G. C. Sherlin, Mrs. Mary E. Mc
Daniel, Dr. A. D. Weakley, Mrs. L.
A. Pinckney, Dr. Victor J. Tulane,
Mrs. Nell W. Perry and Mrs. Armond
W. Scott.
The committee will arrange for
an early mass meeting of residents
of the areh. A. J. Driscoll presided
at last night's meeting.
OPA Order Lowers
Price on Matches
By the Associated Press.
After Tuesday, wooden strike-any
where matches will be cheaper.
The Office of Price Administration
yesterday set ceilings on the boxes
at present levels, but said each box
would contain about 10 per cent
more matches.
The increased number is due to an
order to make the matches shorter
and pack them half with the heads
one way and half in the opposite
direction so as to utilize all space.
This view shows the Wales listing heavily just before she
went to the bottom. Cecil Brown, radio correspondent and
only American to witness the battle who was aboard the Repulse
when she was sunk, described the scene: "I saw the Wales lay
over on its side, hover there for 10 minutes and then slide under.
The jagged bow rose in the air like a crippled limb of a giant—
and it too disappeared.” These pictures, belatedly released in
London, reached the United Statps yesterday. —A. P. Photos.
WLB Refers Coal Dispute
Back to Labor Secretary
By the Associated Press.
The War Labor Board refused
today to take immediate jurisdiction
of the Southern soft coal wage dis
pute by referring to Secretary of
Labor Perkins a telegram from the
Southern operators requesting in
tervention.
The board sent the telegram to
the Secretary with a letter of trans
mittal which said. •'There is trans
mitted to you herewith for your con
sideration a telegram received from
the Operators’ Negotiating Com
mittee of the Southern Appalachian
Joint Wage Conference.’’
The effect of the board's action, at
least for the present, was to leave
to Miss Perkins the question of
whether the dispute is to be certified
to the board. That is the customary
procedure for all dispute cases, but
the board has authority, after con
sultation with the Secretary, to tak^
jurisdiction on its own motion.
The WLB action ' was generally
interpreted as a refusal to resort to
extraordinary procedure by taking a
case before the Secretary of Labor
was ready to relinquish her jurisdic
tion. Miss Perkins has expressed the
hope that an agreement through
negotiation is possible and apparent
ly is unwilling to abandon concilia
tion efforts as long as that hope
remains. She also has expressed
belief that the miners' demands on
the Northern and Southern operators
should be handled as one dispute.

ALLIED TUNISIAN OFFENSIVE ROLLS ON—The great Allied
offensive in Tunisia rolled relentlessly forward today. Gen.
Bernard L. Montgomery’s 8th Army was pushing up the coastal
plain along the Gulf of Gabes, approaching a junction with Lt.
Gen. George S. Patton’s second American column. Pressure
from Gen. Patton’s troops forced the enemy to abandon Mez
zouna. Mahares, 22 miles south of the vital harbor of Stax, also
was being evacuated. The British 1st Army in the north was
within 27 air miles of Tunis. The shaded area is Allied-held.

British Attack Aimed
At Strongest Point
Confuses Rommel
Misjudgment Resulted
In His Futile Blow
In Another Sector
By the Associated Press.
WITH THE BRITISH 8th ARMY
NORTH OP GABES, April 7 (De
layed).—It is now apparent that
Field Marshal Erwin Rommel has
made a mistake—or rather two mis
takes—which may go a long way
toward shortening the war in Tu
nisia.
In the first place, he pulled the
bulk of his tank strength back from
positions facing the British 8th
Army to meet an American threat
on his flank, presumably on the as
sumption that the 8th would be un
able to attack as soon as it did.
In the second place, when the at
tack came, he obviously misjudged
the directioh of the British main
thrust and counterattacked in a sec
tor which failed to slow up the push.
Rommel apparently did not expect
the British attack to be directed at
the strongest defenses on his front,
but that was where Gen. Sir Ber
nard L. Montgomery’ chose to throw
the weight of the infantry, guns
and armor.
Within a matter of hours the Wadi
El Akarit and the anti-tank ditches
beyond it had been bridged and
armor was pouring across into the
milewide gap between the heights of
Patnassa and Roumana, which
command the entire coastal plain.
Nails Counterattack.
When Rommel counterattacked,
with 20 tanks and 1,000 infantry
men, he struck on the east side of
Roumana instead of hitting at the
gap between the heights, thus leav
ing the British free to exploit this
bridgehead.
Fatnassa and Roumana were the
keys to the whole situation. Desert
wise British troops turned moun
tain fighters to storm these rocky
knobs and surprise the German
Italian defenders, who apparently
had not anticipated such a bold
move.
Indian Gurkhas swarmed up the
steep slopes to seize Fatnassa while
picked British troops clambered up
Roumana.
A tall, fair-haired sergeant-major
of a Scottish outfit which partici
pated in the attack on Roumana
said his men moved across the plain
under cover of darkness to the foot
of the height without encountering
any opposition, minefields, wire or
anti-tank ditches.
Not until the British forces reached
the top of the height were they
challenged by the enemy, the ser
geant-major said, indicating the
completeness of the surprise. There
the defenses were overwhelmed in
brief but bitter fighting at close
quarters and the sergeant-major
sent up a rocket to indicate the po
sition had been taken.
Thrusts Beaten.
Unscathed in the fighting, he was
burned when the rocket backfired
and had to go to a dressing station
for an anti-tetanus shot.
“I'd sooner go over the top any
time than get stuck with a needle,”
he said with a grin.
Once in control of the heights
and with their armor and anti-tank
guns across the Wadi, the British
were ready when the enemy coun
terattacked in the afternoon. They
beat off German thrusts east of
Roumana and other related infan
try attacks.
The enemy then apparently re
alized that his position was hopeless
and began withdrawing under cover
of darkness, but not before the
British had taken more than 5,000
prisoners—all but 98 of them Ital
ians.
German planes came over last
night to bomb and machine gun the
British. William Forrest, corre
spondent of the London News
Chronicle, was wounded in the head
by a bomb splinter.
Tammany to Challenge
New York Redistricfing
By thf Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y., April 9.—Critics
of New York's first reapportionment
of legislative districts in 26 years
laid the groundwork for a constitu
tionality test today in the wake of
its enactment into law.
John J. O'Connor, former member
of Congress, said he has been re
tained by a group of Tammany Hall
district leaders “to take whatever
legal steps may be necessary to test
the validity of the Senate reappor
tionment bill.”
Mr. O'Connor, who said he did not
know when the action will be taken,
added that the group “heartily
agrees the reapportionment of Sen
ate and Assembly districts has been
scandalously delayed.”
"But they also feel that the pres
ent law clearly violates Article 3
of the State constitution,” he con
tinued, “not only in an unauthorized
increase in the number of Senate
districts, but that it also violates the
constitutional provision as to com
pactness and equality.”
The reapportionment, on enact
ment of which Gov. Dewey insisted
over bitter opposition within his own.
party, increases Senate membership
from 51 to 56. It also provides for
redrawing of Assembly district lines
to redistribute eight upstate and
seven Manhattan (Tammany Hall)
seats in the 150-member House. The
15 go to other New York City areas.

Lewis Says Roosevelt
Order Leaves Miners'
Plight Unchanged
New York Parley Stymied
As Conferees Await
WLB Action Today
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 9.—John L.
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers, declared today that Presi
dent Roosevelt’s “hold the line’’ or
der against inflation left the problem
of the mine industry unchanged, and
left “the mine workers still hungry
and resentful in having their de
mands for bread made a political
pawn.”
As negotiations were resumed here
for a new contract in the Appala
chian bituminous coal fields, which
would cover 450.000 union members,
Mr. Lewis issued a formal statement
in which he said miners; wages were
"substandard.”
The President’s order would hold
wages to the "little steel” formula
and authorize no increases except
where “clearly necessary to correct
substandards of living.”
rne union seeks a $2-a-day wage ,
increase and a minimum of $8 a '
day for all who work in the coal >
fields—which would be in excess
of the 15 per cent wage increase [
which the “little steel” formula per
mits to compensate for increased
living costs between January 1, 1941, |
and May, 1942.
The Lewis statement, issued at a
general press conference, said:
“The problem of the mining in
dustry remains unchanged. Its
contracts are expiring on April 30.
The mine workers desire to utilize
the intervening time in negotia
tions. The issuance of the Pres
ident's statement yesterday leaves
the mine workers still hungry and
resentful in having their demands
for bread made a political pawn.”
Mr. Lewis said further:
“Their wages are still substand
ard. The cast of food in mining
communities has gone up 124.6 per
cent since August, 1939. The decree
of the Fifth Circuit Court of Ap
peals dated March 16 remains un
changed by the President's executive
order, and constitutes an illegal
estoppel against the mine workers
executing an agreement that does
not conform with the Federal statute
and the court's decree.
“There is an increasing obligation
on this collective bargaining confer
ence to work out an agreement, rep
resenting the requirements of this
basic and essential industry and rec
ommending its acceptance by the
Government.”
Farmers Cautioned
South Africa has advised its
farmers not to be tempted by the
present period of high prices into
undertaking heavy financial com
mitments because such a period al
ways is followed by one of low prices.
