More than half the men to go to tha Pacific will go via the United States, the war depart ment said. The proportion will be substantially lower than this among service units attached to air and ground operations, and higher among combat units. The great bulk of combat units will be staged through the United Slates. It is expected that all men to be discharged can be brought home from Europe within about a year. Equal attention Is being given to repatriating veterans from the Pacific, the war department said. Every replacement Iot whom shipping space can be found is being sent to the Pacific so men with long service can be sent home. Every physically fit soldier in the United States who has not yet served overseas will be as signed to foreign duty when he completes training or, if per forming essential administrative duties, as soon as he can be re placed by a returning veteran, the anouncement said. 300 B-29s Batter Tan filliir1a line no Suicide Bases wuhiuv uurjLi On Home Islands (Continued from Page 1) Hides.

May 5 (UP) Allied bombers and warships blasted a path today lor Australian troops driving toward the heart of Tar- aun city on Taraan island on the? east coast of Borneo. Japanese gun emplacements, ammunition dumps and numer ous buildings were destroyed by the dual bombardment as tne Australians swept through the western part of the city. The military barracks and the important wuter supply installa tions in western Tarakan were captured by the Austra lian troops, who were meeting des perate Japanese opposition from mortar and machine-gun fire. Front reports said the Austra lian drive on the island's air field, northeast of the Lingkas beachhead, was being hampered by an extensive system of elec trically - controlled land mines. The troops, however, secured all h'S ground around the edge of the airfield. The Mindanao campaign was rapidly approBching a climax. Troops of the 24th division were rapidly cleaving JJavao ciiy against resistance described as the road junction of Kibawe, 36 miles ubove Kabakan. Filipino guerrilla forces mean time cleared the Japanese from entile Surigao province at the northeastern tip of Mindanao, opening a number of good har bors for allied shipping. The province is just across Surigao Istraigh1. from American - held Lcyte island. In northern Luzon, the 33rd division completed mopping up of the ' Baulo.' aVea and . seized the villages of Anlamok and Ito gon, six miles east of the city, and Acops more than five miles to the north. 'Capital Strike' Blamed for Drop In Tire Quality WASHINGTON, May 5 (UP) Members of the senate war in vestigating committee charged to day that a "strike of capital" pre vented expansion in 1944 of the production of carbon bluck, major ingredient of synthetic tires. Sen. Hugh Mitchell, D., Wash said the strike occurred because producers felt they could make more profits frnm "furnace black," one type of carbon black, than they could from "channel black." Earl Babcock, director of the Firestone Tire und Rubber com pany chemical laboratories and former assistant to Rubber Direc tor Dewey Bradley, said Bradley recommended in June 1944, that production of carbon black be in creased 100,000,000 pounds. The production was nut achieved, he said. Babcock said sufficient carbon black was being used In the heaviest type of military tires to give them full strength. In some other types, he said, a deficiency has caused a 10 per cent loss of efficiency, while jeep tires have suffered a 20 per cent loss.

BOSTON WOOL BOSTON, May 5 (UP) A growing scarcity of offerings lim ited activity in foreign wools In the local market this week, but domestic types developed fair ac tivity as buyers continued to: cover nearby requirements, the War Food administration reported, today. , . . . " ! Heavy purchasing in Soutli America by recently liberated European countries greatly re duced the selectivity of offering in those markets and importers had difficulty in placing orders for desirable scoured lots in Buenos Aires to cover Increased third-quarter quotas, Gradual Easing Of Lumber Curbs Planned by WPB (Continued from Page 1) load which will require increased production," Boyd said. He revealed he will attend an international lumber commission session in London the week after next to evaluate the world tim ber supply and needs. Ho said the government has taken the stand that all other sources of supply must be exhausted before American lumber will be sent to oilier countries, except for direct war use. Pulp Outlook Brighter Pulp and paper prospects are brighter, Boyd said, because re moval of mines In Baltic waters in the next 90 days will permit shipments of supplies from Swed en and Finland. Boyd said lumber going to Eng land is mostly for war packag ing, crating and war uses, with about 25 per cent for British in dustrial use. Not more than 10 or 15 per cent is used for hous ing, und this for bomb damage repair, he said. There is no in tention to participate in post-war housing in Britain and the pre fabricated houses sent there are under lease lend as un emergency war worker need and contain little lumber, he added. He pointed out many forests !n France and Gel many were so filled with shrapnel as to be al most useless for sawmill use.

V , - 1 Kmtlring Ordara Surrender United Press war correspond ent Jack Fleischer reported that the surrender of the first and 19th German armies was nego tiated at a U. S.'Bixth army group post outside Munich. A delega tion of 14 German officers sur rendered on the authority and order ot Marshal Albert Kessel ripg, who took command of the western front from the non-captured Marshal Karl von Runstedt. Devers and six other American generals accepted the surrender. It was effective at noon tomor row but it was announced by radio that : hostilities were to cease immediately. Lt. Gen.

The capitulation put 12,000 German soldiers, 1,000 vehicles and about 20 tanks in American hands. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said today "has seen a 'steady continuation of German demor uuzuuon ana aysinicgrt'.ion on the western front. He said confusion is so great in the ranks of the surrendering onemy group thut Foertsch could not give any accurate estimate of the Gorman strength, but be lieved the group included be tween 200,000 and 400,000 men.

Security Parley Disrupted by Russ Arrest of Pole (Continued fro.fi Paxe 1) have Indicated suspicion und dis trust of Russia's post-war secur ity objectives. The big four powers made pub lic the text of approximately 30 amendments to the Dumbarton Oaks proposals on which they are in total agreement, including one which would grant special recognition to the middle powers' for seats on the security council. "The amendments were made public by Stcttinius, who also re leased the text of two other amendments regarding the power of the assembly to recommend adjustments of "any situations, regardless of origin," and except ing from the veto of the security council measures taken under regional iirrangeniijit against enemy states. The United States, Great Brit ain and China have submitted identical amendments on those two problems and Soviet Russia had agreed in principle to them but asked for another day or so before committng itself on the present wording.
