PATTON'S GUNS GET "BIG BERTHA" (Rec. 11.10 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 2. General Patton's artillerymen have succeeded in knocking out the 11-inch German " ghost gun " hidden in the Meta railway yard repair shed, says the Associated Press's Shaef correspondent. Allied planes located this wandering Big Bertha, which the Germans fired only at night. The Americans, using German artillery captured on the Maginot Line, pumped 140 rounds into the shed, destroying the gun.
