"Hlndsluht Inevitably . suit Hosts that It mlxht havo bnen employed differently or better In noma respects," tha commltleo mild In an officially tilled "U. 8. strategic bombing survey." Victory Comploto "Nevertheless, It wan decisive, In the air, ltn victory was com plete." Tho appraisers wcro named by former Secretary of War Stlmson at tho su(!K'sllon of tho lata President Franklin D. Ilnosovolt to make an impartial study of tho effects of aerial (tack on Germany, Their conclusion wot that Germany lost tho war by losing tho buttle of the skies in tho early months of 1044. There after her resource wore exposed to all-out allied air attack. Of allied air power, tho sur vey set forth that: At sea, Its contribution, com bined with mi vu 1 power, brought an end to tho enemy's greatest naval threat tho U-boat; on land, It helped turn tho tide ovorwhelmlngly In favor of al lied ground forces. Its power and superiority mndo possible tho success of the Invuslon, Virtual Collapso "It brought tho economy which sustained tho enemy armed forces to virtual collapse, although the full effects of this collapso had not reached tho enemy's front lines whan they weru overrun by allied forces. It brought lioinu to tha Gorman ucutile tha lull impact of mod orn war with all Us horror und suffering. Its Imprint on the Gerinun nutlon will bo lusting."

Ttrrlfla Balds Tho British experimented briefly with industrial bombing, then concentrated on bombing cities. Tho survey found that no city raid over snook Germany as hard as one by tho RAF on Hamburg in early August, 1843 when German estimates wore that 00.000 to 100,000 people were killed and about onc-lliira of tho houses destroyed. Dut tho survey found that "tho city attacks of the RAF prior to the autumn of 1044. did not substantially affect the course of German war nroduc Hon. German war production as wnoio continued to in crease." As rulo Industrial plants wero located around tho peri meter of tho cities and were relatively undnmaued. Produc tion would receive a modorato set-back after a raid, but would recover substantially within a fow weeks. Strombsrg-Carlson Radios.

T I NOME IOTA L LAW DECLARED NOME, Alaska, Oct. 30 (P) Military police aro standing guard today over buildings which contain all winter sup piles for this storm-buffeted town.

Devastation wrought ,by yes terday's gales and heavy seas at Nome, Alaska, recalled today how tho bleak outpost on tho gold-rich Seward peninsula has periodically suffered from tho hurricane-like winds that blow down across the flat terrain. Un 1 1 k o yesterday's experience, theso windstorms have been ac companied by the outbreak of disastrous fires such as the $3, 000,000 blaze which all but des troyed the city In Soptember, 1034, and the $40,000 and $50, 000 blazes which heavily dam aged tho little hamlet's business district In 1930 and 1041.
