Upsetting c n e m y defenses, the Superforts made a feint to ward Tokyo and then cut north west to Nagoya, withdrawing over Kasoya bay after making their bombing runs. Wind Slowi B-29 Where bombing runs on Tokyo were made with the wind ot great speed over the target, today's Superforts went into ac tion in the face of a westerly wind, slowing their speed and probably increasing the ac curacy of their bombing. The planes also flew 3000 to 4000 feet lower than they did in the Tokyo raids, flying under the cirrus cloud layer to avoid leaving vapor trails. As Gen. Jinm y Doolittle's daring raids did more than two years ago, the B-29s employed the great Nagoya castle on the city's highest ground about seven miles north of the docks area as a landmark. I (Continued from Page One) present it is not known when the situation will be cleared up. The shortage of railroad cars for shipping which has existed on both the Southern Pacific and Great Northern linas has been overcome and plenty of cars ere now ready to roll. The onion crop, which has re mained frozen in the field since November, has also begun to be .moved and growers figure only a six to 10 per cent loss on the cfop. Six carloads were moved out Monday to Gilroy, Calif., where they went to the C. B. Gentry Dehydrating company while other growers are report ed to be putting the onions in storage to dry out.

THE Russians take the strong point of uodollo northeast of Buuapest and draw up their artillery in CLOSE' formation north and south of the city. Civilians have been pretty well evacuated already, and the dis patches say the Germans appear to plan a last-man, last-house stand. Red Star says the Germans are hurriedly removing military depots and war plants from the AUSTRIAN BORDER. THERE is apparently consider- able dissatisfaction in Eng land with Britain's Greek policy. The British labor party, vot ing through its executive com mittee, adopts a resolution call ing on the government to bring about an IMMEDIATE armistice in Greece, but carefully avoids rienuncialion of Churchill's in tervention policy. A spokesman for the import ant miners' union says: "Wo have to support it out of UNITY, but we regret the bankruptcy of our present leadership." This paragraph slips through the CENSORED dispatches tell ing of the labor party action: "An army captain in uniform Raymond Blackburn assert ;d that British policy in Greece haK stuck in the gizzard of even 3ig Businessman Stettinius, U. S. ccrclary of state, and has made rtoscow VOMIT.' " .

(Continued from Page One) The deep south also was enjoy ing mua, clear weather. In the east central and eastern states, the weather bureau said, cloudiness and snow flurries per sisted. Traffic deaths in this area mounted as new deposits of snow put a treacherous coat ing on streets and highways. Schools Closed In eastern Kentucky, which already had seven inches of snow, precipitation continued and many roads were declared unsafe for travel. Schools in that area were closed. While snow still fell In several eastern sections already having reached a depth of 36 inches in West Virginia the bureau pre dicted a cessation before night fall. In Canada 18 persons lost their lives from causes directly attributed to a storm which centered in Ontario. Move East The storm which struck the midwest sector during the week end yesterday spent its fury in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New York state, although the whole east coast and the south ern tier of states were in the grip of the swirling snow and gale-like winds. The storm inflicted severe hardships to thousands and brought curtailment of produc tion at numerous war plants due to absenteeism caused by im paired transportation facilities. Trains and planes operated far behind schedules while automo bile and bus travel was seriously hampered by snow-cqvered high ways.

Lee Folkes, 23-year-old negro, from the lethal gas chamber in the "Lower 13" murder case developed here today.

R e p r e s e nlative Bulwinklc (D-N.C), pleading for unity among the allies, cautioned his colleagues that "careless words used on the floor of this house cost lives just as much as care less words anywhere else."
