A. terse air ministry communique communi-que said four planes were missing from last night's heavy action. The night .attacks came on the heels of- strong daylight bomber-fighter raid on the Cherbourg Peninsula and enemy-occupied airdromes. It was the first British raid on Germany since last Friday's attacks at-tacks on Hamburg and Augsburg, industrial center only 110 miles from Hitler's mountain retreat at Berchtesgaden. .

A United - Press Stockholm dispatch dis-patch reported that watchers on ' the Swedish south coast flaw what appeared to be two raids in quick succession in Denmark, apparently, apparent-ly, aimed at Copenhagen, shortly after ..midnight They observed many ' bomb explosions and saw the, flashes of , anti-aircraft guns and" searchlights. : .There was heavy gun fire for half, an hour from the British long range, batteries along the Dover coast Just after midnight. The guns seemed to be firing across the 20-mile strait. United Press watchers reported that the , firing, in two-gun salvoes, sal-voes, lit up the sky for many miles along the coast. There was no audible airplane activity. Cause No Damage A few German planes visited the British south coast' last night, but their bombs fell in open country coun-try and no damage or casualties were caused. Berlin in its first report of last night's British raids said, in a broadcast recorded here by the United Press, that British planes attacked "residential" areas in western and southwestern Germany. Ger-many. It was said that the planes caused damage and killed or wounded "civilians." It said three planes were shot down. It was understood that one of the principal objectives in yesterday's yes-terday's commando raid was to test, out the German defenses on the French coast, which the German Ger-man command is desperately try-dng try-dng to -. strengthen againlat an Allied invasion of the continent.

WDNEIHI2WEIf!I BRAND FRUIT INDUSTRIES, Hitler's Spring Offensive Slow In Starting Up KUIBYSHEV, Russia, April 23 ILE Russian troops on the central cen-tral front have captured a German Ger-man order of the day warning that a Russian offensive is expected by the German command " and might be preceded by. artillery preparation which would inflict heavy losses, the officials newspaper news-paper Izvestia said today. The order, issued by a regimental regi-mental commander, warned troops that a maximum of caution cau-tion must be. observed. Observers here . Interpreted the order as additional evidence that the Germans were losing confidence confi-dence in Adolf Hitler's ability after his heavy winter losses reopen re-open a spring offensive on the scale of which he had boasted. Front dispatches .said melting snows along the front had uncovered un-covered the bodies of tens of thousands of German soldiers killed kill-ed in the winter, campaign. A huge snow mound inside the city of Yukhnov revealed thousands thou-sands of bodies heaped together, it was said, and more thousands were found in ditches outside the city. Militiamen and thousands of civilians have been detailed to salvage German weapons antl equipment on former battlefields now far- behind the German lines, it was reported. s A correspondent of the official Communist party newspaper Pravda wrote of the Yukhnov scene, that the Russians when they retook the town long ago paid no attention to a great snow-, drift in the central square. Now, they said, it was revealed that the Germans had dug an enormous enor-mous pit and in it had thrown their dead. Only a few bodies were in coffins, Pravda said, and the rest were heaped haphazardly; some In uniforms, some in underwear, under-wear, some barefooted, some in boots stolen from Russian civilians. Special dispatches said that on the southern front the Germans had given up, for the present at least, their counter-attacks after; suffering a heavy defeat. Now, the dispatches said, the Germans were fortifying populated places for defense.

TAVES United Press Staff Correepondent GEN MAC ARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS, HEAD-QUARTERS, Australia, April 23 (C.E) Intrepid Netherlands and Australian troops are fighting still in Timor Island, keeping a foothold foot-hold 300 miles north of Australia for the Allied offensive which is to throw the Japanese out of the southwest Pacific, Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur revealed today. Operating on the thickly matted slopes of the mountains forming the backbone of the Netherlands-Portuguese Netherlands-Portuguese Island, the Dutch-Australian Dutch-Australian forces are intact, defying defy-ing the Japanese invaders. For two months, MacArthur revealed, re-vealed, the Allied troops who had "gone into the bush" as guerrillas have harassed the Japanese forces who had established at Koepang. in the Dutch part of the Island, one of their most important bases rn the entire Australian defense zone. The Dutch and Australian forces had penetrated the Portuguese part of the island in expectation of a Japanese invasion. Japanese forces landed in Timor Feb. 20. Heavy fighting was reported re-ported at once at Koepang and Dill, the chief towns of the Dutch nd Portuguese areas. Then on March 9 the Japanese claimed that all remaining Allied troops had surrendered. Since then, cut off from all contact con-tact with the Netherlands East Indies and Australia, the Allied troops have continued threir gallant gal-lant fight, and had only the steadily stead-ily intensifying raids of United States and Australian planes on the island to tell them that their stand was not in vain. Mac Arthur announced the stand In his communique No. 3 from his new United Nations southwest Pacific general headquarters. head-quarters.

He said he had approved the tempo roray card rationing program pro-gram in a telephone conversation with Henderson yesterday. Asked what would happen to suburban, residents who depend upon their automobiles to get to work, Ickes said "the first cut will be on use of automobiles for, pleasure, but we certainly don't want to make it Impossible for people to get to work." Ickes deplored the failure of the now defunct supply priorities and allocations board to approve his plan for construction of a pipeline to the east coast last year. Had it been approved, he said, the line would be completed by now. He added that he would renew an application for a 24-inch line, but indicated that he was not too optimistic that it would be approved by the war production board. . He said that the storage facilities facili-ties in gulf ports arejwj jammed with. gas and oil that cannot be transported to consuming areas tnat "we may have to pumpgaso-line pumpgaso-line back into the wells again." In approving the gas rationing plan yesterday, Ickes and other government officials joined in Issuing Is-suing a statement which said that the United States no longer will risk the lives of sailors so that civilians can have gasoline to go to a bridge party or to a ball game. The rationing order will affect almost 11,000,000 automobile own ers in the east about the total number outside the United States Many of these motorists will have to use other means of transpor tation. Many Tankers Sunk Most of the gasoline used in the east has been supplied by tankers which have to sail through the submarine-infested waters of the Atlantic. Most of the ships sunk off the Atlantic coast have been tankers. Curtailment of non-cs sential use of gasoline in the eastern area will ease a shipping situation that has been growing more acute since toe war Began. The joint statement was is sued by Chairman Donald M. Nel son of the war production board Petroleum Co-ordinator Harold L, Ickes; Price Administrator Leon Henderson; Chairman Emory S, Ltand of the maritime commission and defense Transportation Direc tor Joseph B. Eastman. Rationing is necessary, Henderson Hender-son said, to assure adequate supplies sup-plies to essential users and the army, navy and other war pur poses. .

These developments, it was emphasized, em-phasized, should not in any way be taken to mean that Hitler will be unable to launch his expected all-out offensive against southern Russia, or that an allied invasion in the west is assured. Best opinion opin-ion in London has been that a western invasion is much less likely like-ly than increased commando and aerial attacks, with American forces participating. Already Weakened But the London press, reporting German defense work, and strict control of conquered populations in Norway, Holland, Belgium and Frence, indicated confidence that a great deal already had been done to weaken the German forces in Russia, and that big-scale big-scale attacks in the west were to be expected. Dispatches from the fronts included: in-cluded: ..London RAF renews atSacks on Axis-occupied Europe and German Ger-man Rhineland, following successful success-ful commando raid on Boulogne area; Germans bomb south England Eng-land munitions factory. France Eighty more French hostages threatened with death following execution of more than 100 by Germans in reprisal for sabotage and attacks on occupation occupa-tion troops.
