Superfortresses
Make Kobe
Raging Inferno
By ROBBIN COONS
GUAM, June 6— (/P) —Great
fires raged in Kobe yesterday for
hours after approximately 450
Superfortresses struck its heaviest
blow on the sixth city and the
largest port on Japan’s coast with
a loss of eight bombers. The Jap
anese agency Domei had claimed
that fifty-six Superfortresses were
down, and was heard admitting,
six hours after the last bomber
turned for home that the fires
were only then gradually being
extinguished.
Three thousand tons of fire
bombs plummeted on at least a
seven square mile area in eastern
Kobe. The vast Kobe Steel works
is near the nine square mile area
which is in ashes from two other
raids in February and March.
Caracas the capital of Vene- j
zeula was founded in 1567.

Visits Nome
Base
Staff Sergeant Joe Louis visited
Nome during the week. This big
champion towered above his com
panions as they sauntered about
town taking in the sights. Satur
day and Sunday evening Nomeites
were gathered around their ra
dios listening to the broadcasts
from WXLN of bouts being held
in the new gymnasium on the post.
Some of the bouts were refereed
by Joe Louis himself.
When asked what his plans
were for the future Joe said that
he would need about four months
to get in trim to fight his first
bout. i

Colonel (after reviewing troops):
“Hang it all! What’s the idea of
parading all the big men in front
of the little men?”
Lieuenant: “It’s the sergeant’s
fault, sir. He used to run a fruit
store.”

Find Hitler’s Body
'Continued from Page One>
fully removed and examined by
Russian army physicians. All were
badly burned by flamethrowers i
with which the Red Army soldiers
finally cleared out the under- j
ground post where hitler and his 1
leaing Nazis made their last ditch
stand.
After careful examination of
the teeth and other characteristics
the Russians singled out one body
they believe with almost certainty1
is that of Hitler. Asked why no 1
official announcement of the dis
covery has been made yet in Mos
cow, the Russian source said that
as long as any element of uncer
tainty exists the Russians do not
wish to state that Hitler’s body
has been found.
The source added, however,
there seemed little doubt that this
is actually the corpse of Hitler.
Examination of the body showed
the man almost certainly died of
poison. Whether this was self ad
ministered there is no sure means
of knowing. It will be recalled
however that Russian sources re
cently reported that Hitler died of
an injection given him by his
physician Dr. Morel after he was j
insane and half paralyzed for sev- |
i
eral days. |
