Foe Fails in Attempt to Halt
March of Allies Over North
Plains in Dash for Nazi Berlin
, i-
By Ralph Heinzen "
(Unlttd Pres. War Correipondeiit) ,
German attempts to stem the allied advance in its im
placable march across the north German plains on Berlin
collapsed completely today.
British and American infantry followed armored pene
trating forces across the Weser barrier and raced eastward
barely 150 miles from the German capital. Bremen, Han
nover, Weimar, and Nuremberg were immediate objectives of
today's allied operations. Enemy resistance was "spotty,"
fanatically strong in some places but crumbling steadily
along most of the front.
Russian artillery hammered at Vienna from three sides.
Vienna is already three-quar-
ters encircled with the 3rd
Ukranian armv holrlincr the
advantageous high position of
the storied Vienna woods, as
other red mobile columns
. raced around the outer flanks
in converging drives.
Not Vet Stopped
For the first time, Lt. Gen.
ueorge S. Patton's Third army
slowed down in the difficult ter
rain at the edge of the Harz
mountains, but it was far from
stopped. Patton is still holding the
allies' most advanced positions, 57
miles from the northwest corner
of Czechoslovakia, 125 miles
southwest of Berlin and 166 miles
from the nearest Russian troops
of the Fourth Ukranian army.
Patton's advance has taken the
form of a steady forward push on
a 55-mile front on both sides of
the Leipzig Toad' and the Chem
nitz-Dresden autobahn.
The American Ninth and First
armies met . considerable resisU
ance today in their operations to
reduce the Ruhr. They have the
double task of containing the en
circled Germans and attacking to
slice them into smaller groups. It
was reported from aerial observa
tion today that the nazi command
ers within the 4,500 square mile
pocket were massing all available
tanks, self-propelled artillery, and
other guns along the eastern pe
rimeter for a desperate attempt
to break through the wall held by
the First army. The Ninth army,
pushing into the Ruhr from the
north, reached the edges of Dort
mund but found that the enemy
still had mobility and strength to
meet the' American penetration of
the pocket with strong fire.
Good Progress Made
The best allied progress in the
past 24 nours was made in tne
Bremen - Hannover - Zwolle t r i
angle. Now across the Weser-Ems
or Mittelland canal just north of
Osnabruck and Minden, the Brit
ish Second army was in the clear.
There is no water barrier between
the canal and Bremen, and the
terrain is completely flat. In that
region the Germans were destroy
ing many airfields which it would
be highly dangerous to allow to
fall into allied hands
they are within easy fighter range
of Berlin. .
The Canadian First army, op
erating in a news blackout, was
reported today to be fewer than
20 miles from the Zulder Zee.
They threatened an imminent
closing of the Dutch pocket
around tne remnants of the Ger
man 25th army still holding the
V-bomb lowlands coast. A notice
able lessening of enemy resistance
in that sector would indicate that
the Germans have succeeded in
evacuating most of that army.
Japs Attack
In the Pacific, the Japanese de
fenders began their biggest coun
terattack of the campaign today
and American invasion forces
were brought to a virtual stand
still on both the Naha south front
and the Kin north front of the
beachhead.
Using concentrated artillery
and mortar fire, the enemy took
every advantage of the rough ter
rain. Carrier planes are being used
against the enemy concentrations,
while, dispatches indicate the
Americans have already landed
enough heavy artillery to neu
tralize the Japanese fire. Of the
six Japanese airfields on the is
land, the enemy still holds four,
but the Yontan and Katena air
fields, though still being worked
over by bulldozers, already are be
ing used in emergencies.

Lord Halifax Hunts Coyotes,
Gets Mention in Congress .
By Frederick C. Othman
(United Presa Staff Correnpomlent)
Washington, April 6 IP Be
lated Easter greetings, house of
representatives, and may the rest
of your holiday be a happy one.
What I really mean, fellers, is
that you better come back because
there's big stuff afoot, Involving
coyotes, ambassadors, and cheap
attempts at international mischief
makincr. That last is not me talk
ing, friends. It's Rep. A. S. Mike
Monroney ot Oklahoma, who
spoke up while most of the rest
of you were sitting home on your
handkerchiefs.
The deal as I understand it, was
for the house to quit work until
April 10, while the senate sawed
wood. The boys would hold a per
functory meeting every three
days, for the record, and nobody
writing a history of thei times
could charge congress with, tak
ing a spring vacation.
So all right. I dropped in to see
how the latest perfunctory meet
ing was getting along. At 12 noon
lt looked perfunctory, an rignt.
with 16 congressmen in their seats
and the Rev. James bhera Mont
gomery bringing in a guest speak
er to say the prayer, which lasted
two minutes flat
A few more congressmen came
in then. A dozen or so asked and
received unanimous consent to in
sert matters of importance Into
the congressional record. Rep.
Clifford Hope of Kansas spoke for
one minute about the meat short
age and Rep. Clyde Doyle of Cali
fornia announced that a certain
state had a bigger population
boost than any other.
Rep. Monroney jumped up then
to ask and receive 60 seconds for
oratory. He used lt to denounce
Rep. George B. Schwabe of Ok
lahoma for making cracks about
Lord Halifax attending a coyote
hunt.
"The ambassador from England
couldn't help this," Monroney said.
"He was a guest of Oklahoma. I
think this is a cheap attempt at
international mischief making."
Rep. Brooks Hays of Arkansas
said he also wanted to apologize
to Lord Halifax. After all. Hays
said, he traveled through Arkan
sas, too.
Rep. Jed (about to - become a
judge) Johnson of Oklahoma said
he, too, was sorry, about the Hali
fax episode.
"We hope that Lord and Lady
Halifax can forgive if they cannot
forget," he said.
The acting republican leader,
Earl C. Michener, demanded a
minute and used lt to chide Mon
roney for saying what he said
'HumanNature and the Peace'
Program Drawn By Scientists
about Schwabe.
Michener said there was a gen
tleman's agreement to take ud
nothing controversial while the
other boys were on vacation. Now
look.
This made Monroney flush. He
jumped up again and asked for
another minute. The acting speak
er, Rep. Jere Cooper of Tennes
see, said nothing doing. The rules
didn't allow it. Monroney whis
pered to Rep. John H. Folger of
North Carolina, who askqd for a
minute. 1 .
He got his minute. Then he
yielded it to Monroney, who
looked triumphant. He said he
would have told Schwabe he was
going to denounce him except
that Schwabo was in Oklahoma
taking a rest. He said further
more that he defied Michener to
find one word In his speech that
needed to be expunged.
- The house' adjourned then, 29
minutes after the prayer with nu
merous law-makers looking un
happy. I have to cut into your
well-earned vacation, fellers, but
I think you better hurry back
here and take up the coyote situa-

1 Arrest Made,
Dogs Impounded
As Bend police today continued
their roundup of stray dogs and
reported that they now have
seven of them in the city pound,
Chief of Police Ken C. Gullek an
nounced that the pets would be
auctioned off next Tuesday at
10 a.m.
At the same time officers re
ported that another arrest had
been made for allowing a dog to
run at large. Frank Wonser,
Bend, posted $5 bail on the charge,
after his dog had been picked up
on Delaware avenue.

station by a small girl this morn
ing, "broke jail" shortly after he
had been placed in the pound, of

Washington, April 6 (IB A rep
resentative majority of the na
tion's psychologists have agreed
upon a 10-point program of "so
cial engineering" as a necessary
part of any design for enduring
peace, it was announced today.
The program, entitled "human
nature and the peace," was draft
ed by a committee of 13 American
psychologists and submitted to
members and associates of the
American Psychological associa
tion. Of the 3.500 replies, there
were only 13 dissenters.
The program warns that ne
glect of the 10 principles "may
breed new wars."
It favors immediate creation of
a new league of nations.
Here are the 10 points:
1. War can be avoided: War is
not born in men; It is built into
men. Social engineering can re
duce and redirect the frustrations
and conflicting inteVests causing
aggressive ware.
2. In planning for permanent
peace, the coming generation
should be the primary focus of
attention.
o. ttaciai, national, and group
naireas can, to a considerable de
gree, be controlled. Prejudices can
be reformed through education
ana experience.
4. Condescension toward "infer
ior" groups destroys our chances
lor a lasting peace. Equal partici
pation of all branches of the hu
man family is needed for collec
tive security.
5. Liberated and enemy peoples
must participate in planning their
own destiny.
6. The confusion of defeated
people will call for clarity and
consistency in the application of
rewards and punishments.
7. tr properly administered, re
lief and rehabilitation can lead to
self-reliance and cooperation; if
improperly, to resentment and
hatred.
8. The root-desires of the com
mon people of all lands are the
safest guide to framing a peace.
a. The trend of numan relation
ships is toward ever wider units
of collective security. Progress
from families Into clans, into
states, into nations is now ripe
tor regional and world organiza
tion. 10. Commitments now may pre
vent postwar apathy and reac
tion. Regression to postwar pro
vincialism must be prevented.

THE OLD 'JUDGE SAYS . . .
"That's news to me, Judge. From the way
some people talk you would think it was
at least 50."
"No, Clem, there's the statement right
here in the paper... from authorities who
have made an exhaustive study of the sub
ject. Only about 5 of the people who
drink occasionally abuse the privilege . . ;
95 drink sensibly."
"No wonder you say it wouldn't be fair
to take the privilege away from the other
95, Judge. I agree with you."
"I can't see it any other way, Clem, No
more than I could see taking automobiles
away from everybody because a few drive
recklessly and have accidents. Or preventing
the making or sale of cake or doughnuts
because some folks eat too much and get
indigestion."
" In the case of spiri t bevera ges, the answer
Is one of education and better control."
"As a matter of fact, the responsible
members of that industry are working con
stantly toward that end. They don't want
folks to abuse the use of their product any
more than we do."
