"Nevertheless, It wan decisive,
In the air, ltn victory was com

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."
Almost 2,700,000 tons of
bombs wcro dropped. Moro
thun 1,4-10, 0(10 bomber sorties
und 2,000,000 fighter sorties
woro liown. Tha numbor or
combat planes reached peak
of soma zh.ooo and at llio max
Imum 1,300,000 mon wcro In
combut commands.
Tho survey noted that It was
surprising how (iiilckly tho Gor
man could bring back indus
trial production after a raid. In
tha oil Industry alone 390.000
men woro usslgncd to tho Job of
trying to sou that production
wus kept going, nut niter tier-
many lust tho control of tho nlr
repeat attacks defeated efforts
or mo repair crows.
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.

guard today over buildings
which contain all winter sup
piles for this storm-buffeted

Unalaklcct, whipped across
Nome and then moved south
ward. Buildings Damaged

of the winter supply of merchan
dise and foodstuffs was ruined

reported to have safely weath
ered heavy seas after being In

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.
