They were less than 30 milts from the Zuider Zee gnd were stiiking for Bre rr.on, abcut 49 miles distant. The main push of the third army still was toward Berlin along the high ways leading through Magdeburg and Leipzig. Their most odvanced spearheads were about 70 miles from both cities. " To the south, French first army forces struck for Stuttgart, and Berlin reported thut the U. S. seventh army was swinging southeastward from captured Wuerzburg ill a bid to outflank the nazi shrine city of Nuern berg. ' Defenses Swept Away Whatever defenses the Ger mans had left in fiont of Berlin appear to have been swept away by the allied drive, on the north ern and central fronts at least. Aerial reconnaissance reports said the roads east of the Wiser river as far back as Hannover, 136 miles fiom Berlin, were jam med with fleeing German trans port, suggesting a wholesale nazi llight behind the Elbe river, which loops back to within 43 miles of the capital. Cabinet Quits As Jap Crisis Grows (Continued from Page 1) and in order to bring a more pow erful cabinet" into office. The Koiso cabinet went into of fice eight and a half months ago after the overthrow of the ex tremist government of Gen. Hide ki Tojo in a political crisis touch ed off by the loss of Saipan in the Marianas. Koiso, like Tojo, was a product of the ruthless Kwangtung army in Manchuria, though perhaps slightly more moderate than his predecessor. Koiso's ministers, mostly con servative elder army, navy and business leaders, had been ex pected to rally the Japanese peo ple and armed forces for new ex ertions to stem the allied march toward Japan. But instead disaster followed disaster. The cabinet weathered the furor caused by the Super fortress offensive against Japan the invasion of the Philippines and even. the loss of Iwo island, only 750 miles south of Tokyo, to American maiines last month. The successful invasion of Okin awa was the final straw, however. Chamber Backs Proposed Ban On Union Royalties WASHINGTON, April 5 (UP) The U. S. chamber of commerce today asked its members through out the country to support pend ing legislation to outlaw royalty payments to labor unions. A royalty on recordings is now collected by James C. l'etrillo's American Federation of Musi cians and a "participating roy ally" in coal production has been demanded by President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Work ers. The chamber asked its mem bership to vote on a resolution which said that such royalties "if tolerated would represent " scheme of private taxation" borne by consumers in addition lo gov ernment levies. It said that royalties "are not wages but extras going to union leaders or into union treasuries or Ousts." The funds, it added, are not controlled directly by the employes for whose benefit they aie colh'cl'.'d. Legislation lo outlaw royalty payments to unions has been in troduced by Son. Josiah W. Ilai liy. D., N. C. The chamber of commerce i t solution endorsed Bailey's hill. In the tropies, sea water is so clear that coials 40 feet below I the surface seem to be within : reaching distance.

As she proved at Pearl Har bor, Japan believes in the mili tary wisdom of seizing the initia tive without respect for diplo matic niceties. On the other hand, the Rus sion far eastern forces also are strong, and Japan may not want lo tempt trouble with them. News of the USSR's action was received happily here.
