LONDON, June 34.—(P)— A deadly cargo of more than 15.000 tons of
bombs has been unloaded on Germany in the past month by giant British
bombers, two thirds of which have fallen on industrial centers in the
Ruhr valley where the Nazis themselves admit "incredible devastation.
According to British figures, 10,000 tons of explosives rained rum in
the period from May 23 to June 22 on seven arms centers in that area

The valley already has become the most bomb-battered area in the
world and the British say there is more still to come in the steadily
mounting Allied air offensive against all Axis-dominated Europe.

Industrial production in the Ruhr was said on June 9 to have fallen
about 35 percent under 1942. •
The Nazis are making no attempt to conceal the devastation. In
appealing to other parts of the reich to pitch in and aid the refugees,
the Berlin radio admitted the destruction was incredible.
