The Turin ahow cost the Brit

marked down as lost.
Turin got what was officially
called a "well concentrated" at-.

tons of explosives fell upon it.

paralysing effect as In the re
cent raids on Milan.
Axis troops using the main
Mont Cents railway route must
pass through Turin going north.
Blast Airdromes
British fighter planes simul
taneously attacked nazi air
dromes and communications in
France and the lowlands, and de
stroyed one enemy bomber over
Its base.
The three previous assaults on
north Italy all were directed
against the industrial center of
Milan, which was reported in
rums as a result of the repeated
concentrated bombings. Milan,
apparently expecting another
bombardment, had an alert
again last night as the British
raiders struck at Turin, Swiss
radio reports said, but it proved
a false alarm.
Rare Sight
. Londoners were treated to a
rare sight last night as the fleets
of British bombers, setting out
on their mission, flew directly
over the capital a course they
seldom take.
Thousands in the streets cheer
ed aa the big planes roared over,
one of the bombers signalling
by flashing its cabin lights in
the "V" for victory signal
three dots and a dash all the
way across the city. .
. Minor enemy aerial activity,
meanwhile, was reported over
the Thames estuary and a few
bombs were scattered along the
coast. Only one fatality and
alight damage was reported, how

List of War
Essential Jobs

WASHINGTON. Aug. 17 (Pi
The war manpower commis
sion today widened the scope of
its list of 35 essential activities.
making some additions and . in
corporating changes ordered
from time to time in recent
months.
The activities listed are en
titled to preferences in the hir
ing of workers. They also afford
eligibility for special draft de
ferment for irreplaceable em
ployes, particularly those hold
ing "key" positions.
The revised list officials ex
plained, did not drop any activi
ties previously included, nor
change the supplementary list
of nearly 3000 key positions
within the designated lines of
work.
Changes included extension of
coverage to production of con
struction materials, such as paint
and gypsum products; manufac
ture of portable and pre-fabri-cated
buildings; newsreel work.
and production of crutches.
Many changes were technical,
such, as deletion of the word
"rock-1 before "salt" in non
metallic mining, processing and
quarrying work. One made pro
cessing of edible fats and oils.
The greatest broadening of
coverage, already given in earli
er announcements, was in pro
duction of pulp, paper and ma
terials for packing and shipping
products but not newsprint
officials said and production of
textiles.
