Beef Supply Short
Portland's supply of beef and
'veal was short again Tuesday but
'several markets ' reported ade
quate stocks of other meats.
And so, with dwindling forces, the Luftwaffe, faces what Maj. Geh. Ira Eaker, commander of the
eighth - USAAF, described as a
campaign to "destroy the enemy's
will to fight and reduce his means
to fight" . . - - ;
He said the air offensive would
not reach full scale until late sum
mer, but there already is mount
ing evidence of progress. ;
Opinions from Informed circles 7
boil down to a general predic
tion that late summer will see :
the Americans striking mightily :
at the enemy's means and the
British delivering massive blows
at his will. '
All of which means that (a) the
USAAF, operating principally! by
day, will hurl medium-sized I air
fleets against scores of small tar
gets to cause, by precision bomb
ing, a minimum of civilian casual
ties while dealing telling blows;
and (b) the RAF, by night, will
continue to smash cities with sat
uration, area, bombing' which
mows great paths of destruction
and inevitably must cause high
casualties among civilians.'
This basic difference is dictated
only by the weapons and training
of each force, plus the unanimous
desire to clean up the job fast at
the lowest possible cost in human
life. . .
; While neither force likes ito
kill civilians, the commanders
are eonvtneed that some civil
ian deaths are unavoidable and
anything that weald weaken the
bombing offensive to any de
gree would show up In greater
casualties among United Nations .
soldiers in the Invasion.
Exact estimates on effects . of
bombings on morale and produc
tion are not possible, but the Ger
mans, themselves, . nave testified
on the first score and underground
reports draw a heartening picture
of declining output.
No one claims the air war to be
the sole influence. The n a y a
blockade, costly- defeats for the
enemy at btalingrad and in Tu
nisia are interwoven with other
factors. But, regardless of exact
causes, there are these established
facts and estimates. : i
First, German home propaganda
depicts the bomb damage grimly,
to arouse the reich to greater; ef
forts; second, declining production
may well be delaying or curtailing
an offensive against Russia; third,
tank production is reported less
than half of what it was at peak.
plane output not - more than 60
per " cent, ; submarines far short
despite top priorities.
ii The foreign source in London
who gave Germany's May pro
duction of airplanes as only
1730, said It was at a monthly
peak of about 2500 In 1941-42.
The figure was broken down
Into 950 firhters and S00 bomb
ing planes, with but 70 four
englned craft.
With 700 estimated for Italy, the
European axis plane production
was put at less than 2500. The
United States alone produced 7000
planes that month. Other j figures
showed only 600 tanks - built ; in
Germany, including a b o u, t 200
Mark Sixes, as against a peak level
of some 1500; and only 23 U-boats
completed as against a goal of one
or more a day.
These -declines have added sig
nificance ! against the background
of great equipment losses in Tu
nisia and Rupssia and in the "air
war over Europe. . s
.There have been estimates that
the axis army of 250,000 in Tu
nisia had to be nearly completely
re-equipped three times to make
up losses. In Russia, between No
vember ' and March, Moscow re
ported the capture or destruction
of 20,000 guns and 150,000 trucks
and the Russians claimed the de
struction of more than 3300 nazi
planes in six weeks of fighting
American and British air forces
operating from Britain shot down
more than 400 planes in May. The
closing phases' of the Tunisian
fight cost the enemy more than
1700 planes.

r a bus which overturned south of

A drive for voluntary curtailirnnt

mapped Thursday by the electric
industry in cooperation with of
ficials of the -office of war utili
ties. . t
,The campaign for savings in
home and commercial use of pow
er will " bo promoted by ' nation
wide advertising. It was projec
ted as an alternative to a nation
wide - "brownout", which officials
of the. office of war utilities have
feared might be necessary.
The industry committee will
lay Its program before J. A. Krug,
director cf OWU and subsequently
will report to a larger group cf
utility representatives.
Krug declared that savings In
electricity would "result In sav
ings of materials and men which
can be used to further tho war
effort." There is no shortage of
electrical generating capacity In
the country, he said, but the fen
eration and use of electric energy
consume coals, oil, copper, tung

terials. ( ,
