R. CUNNINGHAM United Press War Correspondent HALLE, Germany, April 10 (Delayed) (UP) "By Joel I haven't been so happy since I ran the British blockade of 1936. You Americans! You're won derful." It was the old sea devil of world war I, Count Felix von Luckner, speaking. Ho was trying to save this town of 500,000. He drove into American-held territory in a Red Cross ambulance with his aide and spent some time conferring with Maj. Gen. Terry Allen of the 104th (Timberwolf) division on the best way of surrendering Halle. x (The negotiations apparently broko down, for American dough boys did not capture Hallo until today.) Luckner is the kingpin of this town, just as the famed composer Handel was in his day. Handel was born here in 1685, an event commemorated by a statue. The count has been in the bad graces of the nazi party ever since it first came into power. They jailed him for a short time because he refused to give up honorary citizenship in the state of California. He was freed, however, be cause he was so popular with the FOOD FOR EUROPE Since UNRRA hasn't time for the usual test plantings of seeds and nursery stocks being sent to relieve liberated farmers of Eu rope, "climatic analogues" are be ing used instead to eliminate pos sibilities of crop failures. This is a close comparative sludy of European and American climatic maps, based on the theory that areas in the two continents that are alike in their weather, partic ularly during the growing se-ason, offer good hope that transferred crops between "climatic ana logues" will do as well there as here. farm near Hilgard, Oregon, on the 20th day of April, at 10 a.m. I This publication is ordered by j Geo.

British Enthrone Canterbury Bishop CANTERBURY, England, Ap ril 19 (UP) Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, former bishop of London, was enthroned in ancient Canterbury cathedral today as the !)7th arch bishop of Canterbury and prim ate of all England. Three thousand persons wit nessed the ceremonies governed by custom in practice since the sixth century. High officials of church and state filed .into the cathedral in a colorful procession before the enthronement. For the first time in history it includ ed American army and navy chaplains.

Advance on Mindanao American invasion forces drove inland today from a 35-mile beachhead on Mindanao, south ernmost of the Philippines. The landing was effected on Moro gulf Tuesday with virtually no opposition. The main Japanese forces, esti mated at 50,000, were believed to hove withdrawn to Davao,- 95 miles east. On Luzon, American forces tightened the siege arc on Ba- guio, former Japanese headquar ters in the Philippines. Philippines-based bombers dumped 360 tons of explosives on Formosa, destroying "numerous" grounded Japanese planes. .Other planes sank or damaged 18 more Japanese cargo vessels in maintaining the aerial block ade against shipping through the China sea and the southwest Pa cific. Chinese forces recaptured Fan- cheng in northwest Hupeh prov ince, completing recovery of all Han river cities overrun by the present Japanese drive.

Much of Germany Found Unmarred By Scars of War By FRANK BREESE TROOP CARRIER BASE, Eng land, April 19 (UP) If you could take one of those pre-war, $70 round trip excursion flights liom the United Kingdom to cen tral Germany today you would be amazed at the amount of Ger many that looks as though war had never touched it. I made the trip, expecting to sec desolation. While the Rhine land is battered and scarred with bomb and shell craters, toyond you see miles and miles of beau tiful countryside, where amid green meadows and pastoral fields, r.cstlc hamlets and villages undamaged and dozing in the sun. This particular flight, which covered 1,100 miles to Gotha, Hildeshcim, Dorsten and back, was one of the troop carrier's daily chores. The Dakota plane hauled a group of officers return ing to the front after a short leave in London. On landing near Geitha a fifth division major, when asked how he was going to find his outfit, replied, "damned if I know. We were way west of here when I got leave." , The airstiip's commanding of ficer as asked if he knew where the front was. "All I know," he said, "is that a Mustang pilot landed here a couple of hours ago and the pilot said, he ahot down a ME-109 20 minutes .est of hero."

Lower prices generally reflect ed selling prompted by the high ly fluid situation In Germnny. Except for the utilities, all sec tions of the stock list had moved up substantially in the early hours of the session. In commodities, cotton in New York countered the trend with a small irregular advance that car ried May delivery to a 17-year high at 22.82 cents a pound.

CHICAGO GRAIN CHICAGO, April 19 (UP) Grain futures moved unevenly with most prices below yester day's level on' the board of trade eluhX1 today.
