Berlin Radio Calls Med. iio. 1 Invasion Front

By E. C. DANIEL Associated Press Staff Writer

LONDON, June 29 --(AP)- The Mediterranean, where allied fleets and forces were reported massed for an onslaught. was described as Europe's No. 1 invasion front today by the Berlin radio.

The Paris radio said the extent of Allied concentrations indicated that an imminent blow would not be slmed at Italy alone.

The German D.N.B. military commentator sought to pin on the allies incendiary bombings employ- ing the "inhumane use of phos- phorous" slthough he did not ment- ion the showers of phosphorous in- ccndlarles dropped on London by the Luftwaffe during the blitz.

This reference to phosphorous suggested another step in what might be a German effort to justify the use of gas~nguinst which they have been warned repeatedly by Prime Minister Churchill and Pre- sident Roosevelt.

In other broadcasts. ell recorded by the Associated Press, the Ital- ians talked of five possible allied thrusts into southern Europe — through Italy, Spain, 'I‘urkey. South- ern France or the Balkans-and the Germans repeated their unconfirm- ed report that United States war- ships hscl reinforced the British fleet at Gibraltar.

The D N B. commentator said the Mediterranean "undoubtedly has become thc theatre of war of first importance. . . The enemies of the Axis probably here have al- most reached the maxfmum con- centration of their submarine and surface naval forces and their land and air forces."

The use of rkiosphorus. he con- tinued, had led to such hatred among the Germans "that the im- pulse of this feeling for the uccel- eration of measures of retaliation would not be under-estimated." He asserted that “squadrons of retal- iation will have to speak s more decisive word."

Fish Shortage

War Situation Last Night

By Glenn Babb, Associated Press We: Analyst

The B.A.F. 1nd United States Air Force are letting n. new record this month for tonnage of bombs dropped on Germany and u the totals rise there is a corresponding increase in the volume and bitterness of Berlin's anti-bombing ||l agenda. The nation that introduced to a horrified world the spectacle of cities destroyed by mass bombing now finds the spectacle appalling when the cities are German.

With time for another blockbuster raid remaining before the month runs out London dispatches indicate that the RAJ‘. bomber commands June total will be at. least 1,000 tons above the May record of _l2,000 tons. ll. has also been a. month of unprecedented activity for the Britain-based American bombers- The cries of indignation and charges 11f KKIWRCIY grofidcust by Berlin are purt of the proof that the Reich has been hurt

a y. But it would be a. mistake to accept them at face value- Doctor Goob- bel's propaganda office has a. double purpose in spreading, magnifying and dlsiortin the story of what has been dune and is being done to the Ruhr and o er centres of German war industry. Within Germany the effort is to steel the will to resist and arouse hatred against the airmen who have turned Germany's own weapon. the bomber plane, against her. At the same time the German radio is trying to arouse beyond Germany's borders oi’ revulsion among the softer-hearted of all lands against. the use oi‘ this terrible instrument and the experiment to determine whether bombing alone can make a great power capitulatc.

There is a very definite hope that an a peal to the humane Instincts of Britons and Americana will be more e fectlve in warding off’ the punishment than the thousands of fighter lanes and anti-aircraft bat- teries with which Hitler has ringed the Ru Ir.

For the Germans know that men like Air Marshal Sir Arthur Harris and General Eaker, the British and American Bomber Commanders. are, not. boasting when they say that this thing has just begun, that therc will be a steady rise in the power and destructivoncss of the attacks and that the peak probably will not come until autumn.

1n the German outcry there is a sinister note. not entirely new but more insistent than evcr before, said one trnnsoccun broadcast: “The expression ‘reprise! air fleet’ was heard for the first. time during the .asl few da '5 by transoceznvs military correspondent in quarters doub less well in ormcd concerning the plans oi’ the German high command." What this "reprisals air fleet" might be is not disclosed but there is more than a. hint here of a rcsdincss to try the weapons of desperation. if ll is gas, the Allies are well prepared.
