LONDON, Nov. Z3 — (AP)-Berlin, the heart of’ the German war ef- fort, tonight lay sprawl- ed. smashed, smoking and trembling after the greatest aerial blow ever struck in warfare-a. 1r (100-bomber R. A. F. raid last- night during which more than 2,300 tons of high explosives and in- cendiaries were hurled on the Nazi capital from its centre to the suburbs.

The Allies did last night what the Germans once dreamed of doing to London. but on five times the scale the Ger-

mans ever attained.

The reccid raid on the Nazi capital. wh ch German leaders once boasted never would feel the terror of Allied bombs. was made despite bad weather. nind the huge black night bombers flying through thick elouds not only smashed the in- dustiéiasluﬁitiiburbs’ butth hit t men inn n e are

Plan Psychological And Military Blows

\

WASHINGTON. Nov. IO-YAIF- The Allied leadership is reparins tremendous psyohologica an military blows at the Nazis-which can be expected also to have pro- found repercussions in Tokyo.

This became increasingly clear today as a welter of rumors and reports flew here and in London of impending great decisions de- signed to hasten the war's end. One version in the British capital was that Prime Minister Church- ill President Roosevelt and Pro- mler Stalin intend to map final military plans and then tell the German people in effect that they must throw of! the Nazi yoke or be smashed-e. move which con- ceivably ruight lead to a quick crack-up of the Nazi oligarchy.

All these reports went officially unconfirmed. In themselves. how-- ever, and in the fact that they were permitted to pass cable cen- sors and to be broadcast. they constituted an intensification of we war of nerves Such an intens- nication might logically reach its ax a uncements from a. Churchill - Roosevelt-Stalin con- ference. though there has not. as yet been any confirmation of re- ports that urr ngements for such a meeting have been concluded.

Among the other reports. some of them too substantial to be class- ed purely as rumor. were these:-

1. The Anglo-American leaders intend achon to bring China fur- ther to the forefront in the Unit- ed Nations-a move which would emphasize the world nature of the understandings reached at the Moscow conference. London heard rumors that President Chiang Kai- Shek would in fact. participate in um! conference of Messrs. Churchill Roosevelt and Stalin. ‘

2. Gen. George C. Marshall. when he establishes an Anglo-American staff in London for the final smash at the Nazis. will have the closes; co-ordination with the Russian high command. Marshall is cx- pectcd to be established in Lon- don well before the end of the year. He has not gone there soon- er. according to one explanation, because Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill desired first to work out a finished high command organ- ization of close unity with Russia.

Once the Mediterranean situa- tion permits. Gen. Dwight D. Eis. enhower is expected to return here to succeed Marshall as United States Chit-f of Staff In the in- terim. Lt-Gen. Joseph T. McNar- ney deputy chief and director of armed ground forces. will take over Marshall's duties.

Praises Canadian Farm Contribution

OTTAWA. Nov. 23-(CP)—With- out the help of Canadian farmers the war would have been lost two years or more ago. Rt. Hon. ivlai- coim MacDonald, British High Commissioner to Canada. said to- day in opening the eastern Ontario export food show at the central experimental farm here.

Mr. MacDonald said that de- spite the "wonderful war effort" of British agriculture. the continuance Britain is still dependent on constant supplies of

The plans call for the construc- tion of a two-storey brick and tile building similar in style to the ex- isting one It will have two wings.
