Konev's Forces
Break German
Silesian Lines
At Least 1 5,000 Foe ,
Caught in New Trap; .
Many Towns Captured
London, March 22 ilPi Marshal
Ivan S. Konev's army has broken
throueh south and west of Oppeln
in southern Silesia, advancing 25
miles and trapping at least 15,000
Germans in a sweeping new offen
sive that overran more than 400
German towns.
Marshal Stalin announced to
night that Konev's First Ukraini
an army joined forces in a two
way drive that toppled most of
the defense strongholds in the
southern end of Silesia.
Neustadt, Cosel, Flakenberg,
Suelz, Oberglogau, Steinau, Krap-
pitz, and scores of other key
towns fell to Konev s forces se
curing the extreme left wing of
the Berlin front for the brewing
push against the German capital.
Troops Routed
A special order of the day by
Stalin said the junction of Konev's
two columns in drives south and
frest of Oppeln surrounded and
routed a formidable force of Ger
man troops.
"Troops of the first Ukranian
front, having broken the enemy's
defenses west and south of Op
peln, advanced 25 miles in each
direction," Stalin reported. "Hav
ing linked up in the area of Neu
stadt they encircled and routed
the German army grouping in
the area southwest of Oppeln."
Along with the 15,000 Germans,
the Soviets captured 464 field guns
and great quantities of other war
materials.
Many Towns Seized
The list of captured towns read
like a roll call of the major in
dustrial centers in the Oder val
ley south of the upper or south
ern Silesia capital of Oppeln.
The Moscow announcement

last lew days giving, accounts of

Nazis Told They
Face Starvation
London, March 22 tu?) . A
spokesman for. the ministry of
economic warfare said today that
only immediate surrender to the
allies can save the Geaman peo
ple from starvation in 1946.
This statement, made to the
United Press, followed an admis
sion over the Berlin radio by
reich agricultural minister Dr. Jo
sef Stock that plans for feeding
Jfl V German people had collapsed
Tif 4 the result of allied advances
md the arrival of refugee hordes.
The British spokesman said that
Cermany, never self-sufficient,
had bankrupted its agriculture to
aid total war. Unless immediate
steps are taken to rebuild food
production "not even a kindlv en
emy can save them," he said.
"The allies cannot feed them,"
he said. "The world food shortage
Is such that we will have all we
ran do to feed liberated areas.
The only thing for Germany to do
is to stop fighting and look after
her agriculture.
"They cannot longer continue

LaGuardia Loser
In Curfew Fight
New York, March ,22 HB New
York's night entertainment spots
rejoined the rest of the nation to
day in observance of the federal
midnight curfew as Mayor Fiorel
lo LaGuardia prepared a post
mortem over his short-lived one-
hour curfew extension.
LaGuardia said he would ex
plain in a nationwide radio broad
cast (Blue network) at 4 p.m. I
(PWT) today why the curfew was
unfair to New York, center of the
nation's night life industry.
LaGuardia said his address
would be designed for' those out'
side New York and would contain
little news for citizens of his own
city. He scheduled the broadcast,
however, before entertainment
leaders decided at a meeting last
night to respect the midnight cur
few set by War Mobilization Di
rector James F. Byrnes rather
than the 1 a.m. closing set by La
Guardia.
Hearing Sought
The nightclub, theater, cafe and
saloon owners did not desert La
Guardia, however. They said they
would ask for a hearing in Wash
ington on the wisdom of a mid
night curfew for the city.
The decision to ignore the one
hour extension followed an army
navy crackdown on after - mid
night drinking and entertainment
by all military personnel. The two
services ordered full and immedi
ate observance of the original cur
few request of War Mobilization
Director James F. Byrnes. The
gist of the owners' decision was
that if they couldn't serve service
men during the extra hour they
wouldn't serve civilians.

The plan was announced by
Price . Administrator Chester
Bowles before the senate banking
committee. His disclosure came
after he had spent two days be
fore the committee defending his
agency's meat price policies
against heated criticism of pack
ers and republican senators. The
critics said packers were going
broke.
Subsidy Explained
The additional subsidy would
be based on the amounts paid by
slaughterers for live cattle. It will
be computed on the basis of the
amount paid by the individual
slaughterer In excess of the
"floor" established for live cattle
prices, and will reach the maxi
mum of 50 cents a hundredweight
when the slaughterer pays ceiling

pork. Bowles said he thought the
now subsidy "will put packers in
