S. to Reappraise Food Supply Situation WASHINGTON, Mar. 28 (UP) The United States and Great Britain announced jointly today that they were reappraising the entire food supply and require ments problem in the light of an "increasingly critical" situa tion. The announcement by the stale department and the British embassy was made in connection with the visit here of Oliver Lyt telton, British minister of pro duction, and J. J. Llewellin, min ister of food. It revealed that the two Britishers were sent here by Prime Minister Winston Churchill at the invitation of President Roosevelt to work out the difficult food problem with high American officials. The British-American state ment said that all relevant fac tors will be discussed, including the levels of consumption and the ; reserves necessary to support the j war effort in the countries con corned. ... J The announcement came as the j full attention of congress, with separate house and senate m n,i snnntn in. vestigations already projected. A spokesman for the "big four" meat packing concerns predicted that the government will have to "take over" the meat industry if tuc war should last three or four more years and OPA regu lations are not changed. Thomas E. Wilson, Chicago, chairman of the board of Wilson & company, told the senate food investigating committee the meat industry cannot "continue Co bor-rov.- money and assume the loss e:: that will continue unless this program is changed." Merchants Get Pointers on New OPA Price Rules Apparel and home furnishings dealers of Union county, number- ing approximately GO, were prs nt last night at a meeting in the city hall at which representatives nf tl.c office of price adminisra tinn explained regulations gov erning prieui'! of merchandise un til r new federal regulations.

The men were aboard a prisoner of war train which the Germans were trying to move closer to Berlin in the face of the 1st army's lightning advance across Germany. TJ)e lieutenant said thcO men were jammed into freight cars and were left there for 36 hours without food. There was no marking on the twin to -indicate to American pilits that the freight cars were filled with friends. Wlfeh tSc American flyers at tacked the German guards ran for hiding and the prisoners be gan forcing open the doors of the freight cars. Bullets wore pop ping all around, but the allied of ficers assembled the men in a field and ordered them to strip to the waist. Then the officers instructed the men to bend over unil their backs formed the let teis POW. When the dive bombing pilots saw the exnanse of naked backs I saw the expanse of naked backs, . they came out of their dives with-1 out firing and then circled slowly as if trying to figure out whether this was a Gorman trick. The officers kept yelling at the men to hold the formation. "Two flights 'of P-47s came down on us later," the lieutenant said. "Their guns blazed away, but out of those thousand men cnlv one ran for cover. The others held." Finaly all the pilots seemed to get the idea. Tho lieutenant said they clipped their wings in salute and flew away. German Leaders Flee Southward To Escape Allies (Continued from Page 1) dispatch, this one from Zurich, said at least four panzer divi sions and German elite SS troops were stationed at Arlberg, high in tho Alps of western Austria less than 20 miles from the Swiss border, poFj;bly for a nazi last stand.

Evacuated The nazis decided to evacuate women and children from the "air terror" of Berlin after the capital was blasted for an hour in mid-morning following the 36th consecutive night air attack. Stockholm reported that Hein rlch Himmler had ordered Nuernberg evacuated and nazi party archives taken to Berches gaden. American soldiers libcraled aged and ailing civilians from an abandoned coal mine where they were driven back by German machine gunners who sprayed the entrance when they sought to surrender.

Allied Armies Race Through Weak Defense in West (Continued from Papc 1) driven almost loO jilcs cast of tho Rhine and had swung north in tho region of Groefendorf, a scant 210 miles from Berlin. But the blitz was not confined to the First and Third American armies. Both the British Second and the American Ninth armies had shaken loose from the bitter re sistance the nazis were putting up in defense of their Ruhr cit ies of Duishurg and Essen. Ruhr Linei Cut In parallel columns of heavy armor the British Second orirl American Ninth severed the northern communications of tho Ruhr and headed east. They crossed the Dortmund Ems canal and slashed the Diu's buri'Hamin military highway, shifting the main bulk of their weight cast toward Berlin less than 245 miles away. A dispatch from United Press War Correspondent C. R. Cun ningham with the Ninth army said it appeared "the Ninth army Is on the verge of breaking into a wirle open race to join the First and Third armies." The Ninth army kiekoff was aided bv the British Sixth Guards armored brigade which crashed along the northern bank of the Lippo canal and river and entered Dorsten to relieve nres- ' sure on the Ninth from the crack I loth German panzer division. Resistance Wanes Except . for a few stubborn pockets of resistance In the by passed Ruhr valley. German op position was melting everywhere from the Karlsruhe corner to the Dutch border. Berlin said British tanks had advanced 33 miles beyond the Rhine crossing at Wesel to the Dortmund Ems canal, almost 20 miles past their kick-off point this morning. Therlr the Tom mies were past the main arsenal centers of the Ruhr and only 245 miles due west of Picrliii. Returning pilots said the bat tle lines were moving ahead so rapidly thai new bombing zones bad to be established every 20 minutes. r , A) some, points the pursuing British were completely out of contact with tlx.1 fleeing enemy.
