Movement through Dortmund's main station was impossible and traffic had to be rerouted around the city, causing a bottleneck in the transportation of war freight and passengers from the Ruhr eastward to points such as Berlin and Hamburg. Police clQsed the area and officials told travelers that an RAF blockbuster dud Was lying in the station, but English reconnaissance pictures since show the, station is badly damaged. . ' If the Nazi claims are correct,, then the blockbuster obviously exploded later. Neutral Swedish and other sources over a period of days drew the following picture of morale and damage by air raids in the front line of the Reich: : * ^ Ravage Industrial Centers. , Hearts of most of the great industrial centers in western Germany such as Cologne, Essen, Duesseldorf, Duisburg and Dortmund, have been torn out by explosive fires leaving - either an expanse of twisted wreckage and mountains of debris or the tottering facades of gutted buildings. A description of western German cities by the Nazi newspaper Voelkischer Beobachter recently only begins to tell the story. It said: "It isn't single houses any longer which are being destroyed but entire districts are burned out and laid waste. There are business streets which must be closed off because on both sides only smoke-blackened facades stand and threaten to collapse. There are squares surrounded by ruins and without a single distinguishing feature, neighborhoods in ,which oroAJtiardly meets a soul because the houses are empty, gutted, battered or destroyed." Outlying residential districts are much less damaged than the centers of towns, where the extent of the damage is really breathtaking. Yet this does not mean that life is stagnated. One explanation is the manner in which the Germans tackle the cleanup job, restoring a resemblance of order as rapidly as possible. , Foreigners Put to Work. Fire-fighting apparatus stands ready day and night near military objectives. As fires rage and threaten to grow out of control--as in Dortmund which undoubtedly is typical-- air raid wardens dash from shelter to shelter ordering all males, including foreigners, to help battle the flames. Like the British, the Germans have built emergency reservoirs for pumping because water service is frequently interrupted by a heavy raid. Dortmunders were surprised that the RAF failed to come after breaching German dams to the south. "For three days Dortmund and the entire surrounding area were without water," one source explained. Sven Malmberg, Swedish violinist who Was in Dortmund on tour during the heavy raids of May 4-5 and May 23-24, told the Stockholm newspaper Tidningen that the scenes in Dortmund were almost impossible to describe. "1 will never forget it and I will never return to western Germany as long as the war lasts," he said. NINTH PAYMENT ON , WAIVED DEPOSITS r MADE AT RICHMOND Arthur C. Lueder, State Auditor of Public Accounts, announced this week that he has authorized the State bank of Richmond, Richmond, Illinois, to pay a dividend of 10 per cent amounting to $9,140.56 on waived deposits. Following the banking moratorium of March 1933, the depositors of this bank waived 50 per cent of their deposits, thus enabling the bank to resume business. The total waived amounted to $91,422.24 This is the ninth payment to the depositors on the amount waived and brings the total amount returned to 95 per cent of the original waiver. William M.
