Nazi Claims Are Called Pure Rubbish

Bo! Allan Randall Canadian Press Staff Writer IDNDON, June 23 —- OP Cable) — An R.A.F. s icesman who said that Rome coud be bombed if it were not made an open city today swtched Axis propaganda efforts to suggest that the R.AA.F. not persist in its heavy bombing of Axis targets because of unsup-

portable losses.

The spokesman, asked if {he RA. F. were suffering too high losses fn its pounding of Germany's indus- trial areas. rcgizd that the losses "are not too high at all.’

“Of course," he said. "they are higher than we would like - - we would prefer no losses at all.”

He drew attention ‘to the fact that German propaganda recently has beep laying stress on the losses of the R.A.F. and seeking to convey the belief that Britain could not stand the strain.

"That's pure rubbish." he said.

The Germans also have been exag- gerating Allied air losses in their broadcasts.

It ls not now the practice for the Air Ministry to disclose the number of planes taking part in a raid, but the All‘ Ministry spokesman drew attention to Monday night's R.A.F. -R.C.A.F. raid on the steel city of Krefeld in which more than 700 air. craft took part. Their loss was 4-1 planes. about six per cent. ..‘-'0verall our losses would not be higher than that - - quite possibly less," the spokesman said. “Actually? he added. “we are los- ing far less men for the tonnage (cf bombsl dropped than the Ger- mans in their comparatively much smaller sol-ties against this country."

Dutch Warned Re Bombings

LONDON, June 23 — (OP) -—'I‘he Netherlands Government in London tonight warned the people of Holl- and to stay away as much as poss- ible from sites of mar-production factories in their country and to ex- pect greater Allied bombings of these plants than they had seen in the past.

The warning, broadcast by Radio Orange. said in part that “attacks on factories in the Netherlands working for Germany will be shortly executed with still more fierceness than has been the case so far.

The warning was introduced by a Netherlands Government statement that bombing of war production plants in Germany had made pio- ductlon in occupied countries more important to the enemy so that fiercer air raids on the industrial centres of the occupied lands would be necessary to "hasten final vic- tory." The Netherlands Government expressed approval of the impend- ing raids.
