American and British aerial at tacks on Nazi-controlled areas have not been as successful as originally anticipated, accorang to the Baltimore correspondent. "Take the city of Mannheim for instance. Ninety per cent of the .buildings in the city are unusable; one-third. of one per cent of the population has been killed; and nearly_ all of the city's 285,000 population has been evacuated be cause of Allied air raids.
