Of Quebec Plans
BULLETIN.
LONDON «£»>.—Foreign Sec
retary Anthony Eden ac
quainted the foreign minis
ters of the exiled governments
In London today with the
broad decisions of the recent
Quebec conferences as the
work of preparing an agenda
for a possible Anglo-Ameri
can-Soviet conference pro
ceeded.
Prime Minister Winston
Churchill arrived at the White
House late today to continue
with President, Roosevelt the
Hyde Park-Quebec war confer
ence that was inaugurated more
than two weeks ago.
The head of the British govern
ment. accompanied by Mrs. Church
% 111. was met on arrival by the Presi
dent
Their daughter Subaltern Mary
Churchill, of the Auxiliary Territorial
Service, will arrive in Washington
late today, coming from the South.
A small family dinner at the White
House is planned for tonight.
Will Iron Out Details.
The visit is the fourth made to
Washington by Prime Minister
Churchill since'the war started. It
is designed to iron out any details
remaining for discussion when the
President and the Prime Minister
parted company at Quebec last Wed
nesday after announcng plans for
stepping up the war against Japan
and otherwise strengthening the at
tack against the Axis.
Because so much of the business
for which the heads of the two gov
ernments came together was con
cluded at their earlier meeting, how
ever, the visit here is expected to
be more in the nature of a social
6top for the Churchills.
I n consider soviet Talks.
There were indisputable Signs that
the focal point of some of the
■forthcoming discussions would be
the question of how to bring Russia
into the Allied councils not only
for the co-ordination of military
operations but also for the solution
of postwar political problems.'
Russian participation In future
meetings, at least in some degree,
was described as “necessary and
Urgent” by Mr. Churchill in his
speech from Quebec yesterday. And
Mr. Roosevelt said at his press con
ference a little later that things
were going along pretty well with i
respect to a three-power conference.
Brendan Bracken, British Minis
ter of Information, declared at a
press conference here last night that
the time of Mr. Churchill’s arrival
must be classed as security Informa
tion, but in line with disclosures at
Quebec last week it was expected
in the immediate future.
Total '43 Food Output
Due to Top Last Year
Agriculture Department
Expects Livestock Rise
X? Ihe Associnted Press.
Asserting increases in livestock
would more than offset, a 9 per cent
decline in food crops, the Agricul
ture Department predicted today
that the total 1943 food production
would be 5 per cent in excess of
last year’s record output.
With war requirements expected
to absorb about a fourth of the
total production, the Department's
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
declared the per capita civilian sup
ply for the year as( a whole would
be only slightly larger than the
consumption for 1935-1939, when the
average production was 32 per cent
smaller than this year's indicated
yields.
Revised estimates, the report said,
indicate a total meat production of
24,000,000.000 pounds, by far the
largest on record, and accounted for
mainly by an expected 20 to 25 per
cent increase In pork production
over 1942.
It said decreases were indicated
for food grains, fruits, truck and
sugar crops, while potato and dry
edible bean crops are expected to be
larger than last year.

RAF Heavy Bombers
Blast Berlin Anew
In 45-Minute Attack
Air Ministry Reports
'Great Damage' Inflicted
On Reich's Capital
By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 1.—Great fleets
of RAF heavy bombers blasted
Berlin last night in a 45-minute
concentrated assault of block
buster and incendiary bombs to
usher in the fifth year of war for
the Germans with an ordeal of
fire and exploding steel.
“Great damage” was inflicted on
the Nazi capital in this second mas
sive Assault in eight days, the Air
Ministry announced in a communi
que. Mosquito bombers hit Berlin
twice following a saturation raid a
week ago last Monday night.
Forty-seven bombers and one
fighter were lost as the bombers
bored through stiff defense by Ger
man fighters, and other planes
struck targets, including airfields,
in France and the Low Countries.
"Several” Nazi fighters were downed.
The first formations of bombers,
with Canadians also throwing their
heaviest planes into the attack, be
gan pouring down explosives at 11:30
p.m. and continued the hail into the
morning of another year of war.
Canadian Bombers Lost.
Eight of the heavy bombers lost
in this rekindling of fires in Berlin
were Canadian. The German com
munique reported 47 bombers
downed.
Again the Germans relied on New
tactics of defense—throwing out
swarms of fighters while hundreds
of searchlights probed for the at
tackers and antiaircraft fire was
lightened. This was tried in the
raid on the capital last week and
later over Nuernberg.
“Last year when I took part in
two attacks on the German capital
there seemed to be even more guns
than in the Ruhr, but then there
were few fighters around," said one
veteran of the 1942 attacks. "Now
it is the' other way around. There
were droves of fighters last night
but the antiaircraft fire was only
moderate.”
It was the 77th raid of the war on
Berlin and preliminary reports "in
dicate great damage was done," the
Air Ministry declared.
Observers on tile British south
east coast declared the drone of the
Berlin-bound bomber.-! was heard
overhead for two hours, suggesting
that the attacking force was as
great or greater than that hurled
against the city in last week's big
raid, when 2,000 tons of explosives
and incendiaries were dropped.
Fifty-eight bombers were lost in
that attack.
Characteristically the, German
radio described the assault as a

Taganrog Trap/
Killing 35,000
Moscow Announces
Liquidation of Nazi
Troops in Area
By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 1. — Russian
troops completed the liquidation
of encircled German forces at
Taganrog this morning, killing
over 35,000 of the enemy, Moscow
announced tonight.
The Soviet announcement, made
in a communique broadcast by the
Moscow radio, followed by only a
few hours a German broadcast say
ing the Nazis had retreated in the
Donets Basin area southwest of
Voroshilovgrad. The Berlin broad
cast, also recorded by the Associated
Press, quoted a dispatch of the Ger
man news agency DNB.
The Moscow war bulletin said the
Russians routed the German 111th
and 2S4th Infantry and 15th Air
borne Divisions at Taganrog and in
flicted heavy defeats on the 304th,
306th and 336th Infantry and 13th
Tank Divisions.
Much Materiel Destroyed.
“In these battles our troops de
stroyed 212 enemy planes. 537 tanks.
494 guns of various calibers, 1,500
machine guns, 3.600 trucks, 10 fuel
dumps and 29 ammunition dumps,”
the communique said.
“The enemy lost in killed alone
more than 35,000 officers and men."
>Jt added that 5,100 German offi
cers and men were taken prisoner.
Nazis Admit Retreat.
The German broadcast of the
DNB dispatch said earlier:
“Another shortening of the front,
involving the possibility of estab
lishing operative reserves, was
achieved by a planned withdrawal
of German lines in the Voroshilov
grad area which the Soviets at
tempted in vain to impede.”
The regular German communique,
recorded by the Associated Press
said numerous Russian attacks in
the Mius, Rylsk and Vyazba sectors
—on widespread sections of the
front—were beaten off after violent
hand-to-hand combat.
Voroshilovgrad, approximately 70
miles northeast of Stalino and 90
miles north of Taganrog, is already
some distance behind the front and
the German announcement indi
cated the Nazis were falling back on
the defenses of Stalino. their army
headquarters for the entire southern
front and seriously threatened main
bastion in the Donets Basin.
The German communique in effect
disclosed the Russians were attack- j
ing along the entire 600-mile front
from the Sea of Azov to Smolensk.
Only yesterday Moscow's guns
thundered a salute to the forces of
Gen. Vassilly Sokolovsky, which
swept forward several days ago in
the Smolensk sector to take Yelnya,
vital highway and railway junction,
and crack the German defenses on
the eastern bank of the Ugra River.
The Germans threw tanks, artil
lery, planes and infantry into their
desperate defense and counter
offensives. The Russians finally
succeeded in crossing the river,
however, and Soviet tanks cut the
railroad and opened a gap through
which the following infantry
poured.
In a twin drive a little to the
south, forces of Gen. Constantine
Rokossovsky’s central army attack

front to push into the Northern

Commissioners Seek Source
Of Pollution in District Water
Prompt Emergency Chlorinization Wards
Off Danger, Dr. Seckinger Advises Public
Emergency steps were taken
today by the Commissioners to
find* the source of pollution of
the water supply for certain
Southeast Washington areas, in
cluding the Naval Air Station
and Bolling Field, for which
extra chlorination was provided
recently within a few hours after
tests showed pollution.
Deputy Health Officer Daniel L.
Seckinger declared there was no
cause for public alarm, since the
additional chlorination had served
to counteract the pollution of the
water supply, and the action of the
Commissioners today was to seek
the source of the trouble and to
apply prompt corrective measures.
The whole problem will be studied
by a committee headed by Col. Jo

Americans Challenge
Enemy Fleet to Fight
In Home Waters
The United States Pacific^
Fleet, challenging Japan’s still
powerful navy to battle in its
own home waters, has hurled a
powerful force of war planes and
ships against the enemy defense
base on Marcus Island, 1,200
miles southeast of Tokio.
News of the operation against the
strategic outpost came from both
Washington and Tokio. The Wash
ington announcement said the ac
tion was planned for September 1
(Japanese time; August 31, domes
tic time) and indicated it might
still be in progress today. If this
were true the Intent apparently
would be to level the island’s de
fenses.
The first information came from
Tokio which said many planes and
naval guns poured bombs and shells
into Marcus at dawn. Washington
followed this with an announcement
before noon today saying a carrier
task force raid was planned for Sep
tember l, that the plane-laden ships
and their escorts should have arrived
on schedule and that the attack "is
presumably in progress," although
no report has been received and
none is expected until radio silence
can be broken.
West of Date Line.
Marcus Island is west of the in
ternational date line and September
1 there was August 31 in Washing
ton. Thus the Navy statement that
the attack presumably is continuing
meant that American warships
were operating in waters the enemy
heretofore has dominated long after
their presence became known.
Marcus Island, which is on a
direct route between Hawaii and
Yokohama, was raided once before
by an American naval .task force on
March 4, 1942. It is 900 miles north
west of Wake Island.
The island is about one and one
half miles long and two-thirds of
a mile wide and is the easternmost
j of the Japanese Bonin group, 3.000
i miles west of Honolulu'. It is also
! known as Weeks Island.
This is the farthest westward raid
of naval surface vessels in the
Pacific war. Only the task force
carrying the planes which raided
Tokio on April 18, 1942. is known
vto have penetrated farther.
No Hint of Extent of Action.
There was no indication in either
the Tokio statement or the Navy
disclosure here to show whether the
action was limited to Marcus Island
; or whether American forces had
struck simultaneously at. other
points.
Not in 20 months of this war had
the Navy issued a statement report
ing a raid while it still was in
progress. The announcement today

Nazis' Sinking Claims
Lowest in 9 Months
23 Merchantmen Declared
Destroyed in August
By the Associated Pre**.
LONDON, Sept. L—The DNB
German news agency in a dispatch
broadcast by the Berlin radio and
recorded by the Associated Press
today announced German submarine
sinking claims for August which
were the lowest for at least nine
months.
The agency said U-boats sank 23
merchant ships totaling 142.500 tons
and four sailing ships in August. In
May when the Germans gave the
monthly return of 380.000 tons they
admitted the sinkings were the low
est for six months. July figures were
58 ships and 350,241 tons.
The German International In
formation Bureau in another broad
cast set total submarine sinkings by
the Germans during the fourth year
of the war at 6.054,800 tons.
The bureau claimed 18.428.800 tons
of merchant shipping and warships
had been sunk during the four years
of the war and added that naval and
air forces of the Axis powers had
sunk "roughly" 33.400,000 tons.
The bureau also said German sub
marines had sunk 55 per cent of the
total, "which means that they alone
have sunk more than German sur
face craft and the German air force
as well as the Japanese and Italian
air and naval forces put together."
