Allied Troops Battle in Three
Of Europe's Great Cities;
New Traps Set for Germans
By Ralph Heinzen.
(United Pri War Correspondent)
Allied troops battled today in three great European cities :
Bremen, Hannover and Vienna. Traps were being set both in
Holland and at Bremen that menaced tens of thousands more
German troops whose only escape route appeared to be by
another dangerous "Dunkirk" under the eyes of allied air
fleets. " . i.
Bremen burned underBritish cannonfire as the second
British division fought its way into that great port city, at
the same time pointing a column for Hamburg, 56 miles
way. American troops ot tne'
Ninth army drove into Han
nover from three sides and
also sent a column east toward
Brunswick and Berlin.
A British parachute operation
in northeast Holland trapped rem
nants of the German 25th army
in the lowlands when ground
troops of the Canadian First ar
my linked up with the airborne
troops near Meppel. They cut the
last road and railroad which the
Germans could use in retreat. In
side that pocket were the great
Dutch cities of The Hague, Am
sterdam and Rotterdam, as well
as the V-bomb coast. London's ex
posure to V-bombs appeared end
ed unless the Germans were able
to step up their range an addi
tional 100 miles. Official statis
tics showed there had been 33,537
casualties in southern England by
V-bombs since the campaign be
gan last June of whom 8,436 had
been killed.
Patton Moves East
Lt. Gen. George S. Patton's
Third army resumed its eastward
march today although American
infantry which had now closed
up in the rear of Patton's tanks
was still fighting die-hard nuzi
troops who held out in strong
holds as much as 20 miles behind
the advanced armored forces. Pat

ily, as shown by his average haul
of 10,000 prisoners a day.
Patton's armored spearhead to
day was only 6J miles from the
Czechoslovak border, 126 miles
southwest of Berlin and fewer
than 170 miles from the nearest
Russian forces at Forst. Leipzig,
Patton's next great objective, was
only 69 miles east.
The American Seventh army ex
ploited today its sensational 36
mile sweep to Crailsheim. That
American column was now only
40 miles from the Danube which
has its source in southwest Ger
many, near the Swiss border.
Patch was in good position for
dual advances on Nuernberg or
into the nazis' boasted "Berchtes
gaden redoubt," the setting for
their last stand. His armor was
47 miles from Nuernberg and 93
miles from Munich.
Hitler Takes Command
As at Stalingrad, in the gravest
hour of the Russian campaign,
Hitler again made the gesture of
assuming actual if not official
command of the German armies,
according to British reports from
the west front. He has ordered,
according to that report, all Ger
man generals down to division
commanders to consult with him
before giving commands in an ef
fort to centralize authority on all
off the ration list!

his swiftly deteriorating fronts.
That apparently was to prevent
surrender of any large units or a
separate peace . bid by the high
command. -
Marshal Feodor Tolbukhin's
Third Ukrainian army virtually
won Vienna, sealing all outlets
and taking the three largest rail
way stations. The . center of the
city, with the Hapsburg palace
and St. Stephen's cathedral, was
reached by the red army yester
day. Fury of the fighting on Okin
awa approached that on Iwo Jima.
On the southern front the enemy
used a heavy concentration of ar
tillery to defend the last 15 miles
of the island's southern tip.
Lines Penetrated
, The 24th American corps pene
trated the first Japanese defense
lines in a slugging match four
miles north of Naha with mount
ing casualties on both sides. The
two enemy airfields at Yontan
and Katena, captured less than a
week ago, were put to use by the
Americans. In the north the ma
rines set a trap for enemy forces
on the Motobu peninsula by driv
ing across the narrow neck of land
north of Nago. That would free
good ports, where Japanese sub
marines have based.
Unlike the Danube and Silosian
Bohemian sectors, the whole
northern half of the Russian-held
east front continues bogged down
by spring thaw and rains which
may be expected to continue, nor
mally, all through April and into
May. The Russian armies which
operate powerfully on frozen ter
rain are stymied by mud which
permeates that front behind which
there is but one dependable line
of communications the railways
through Minsk and Vilna to War
saw and Porherania.

Niskanen Speaker
At Club Luncheon
Reviewing the record ot the
1945 Oregon legislature, William
Niskanen, member of the house
of representatives from Des
chutes county, outlined to the Ki
wanis club at the Pine tavern this
noon the underlying causes for
the length of the session.
These, he said, were more com
plex problems growing out of the
Increasing industrialization of the
state, need for careful considera
tion of post-war problems, incli
nation on tne part of the legisla
ture to specify the powers of
boards and bureaus rather than
take the easier way of endowing
them with blanket authority.
There was the further fact that
the legislature, an unusually ex
perienced body, went into matters
with great thoroughness and con
sequent greater use of time.
Work Reviewed
Niskanen expressed belief that.
on the whole, the legislature had
done an excellent job, but criti
cized the main unemployment
compensation measure, which he
noted was passed on dubious rep
resentations oy two small lobby
groups that it was acceptable to
both labor and employes. The bill
