Barrier in Europe
By Louis F. Keemle
(Unitni Pram Wi,r KdiUir)
American troops captured the
Key German city of Leipzig today
una naa nearby Halle almost
within their grasp.
The fall of Leipzlg.'whleh camo
after a day and night of fierce
street fighting, broke the hinge
between the northern and south
ern halves of the German front.
Scattered snipers were still at
large in the city, but were being
hunted down.
South of Leipzig, the Americans
were storming Chemnitz and
fighting through the streets of
historic Nuernberg.
The American Ninth army was
established along an 80 -mile
stretch of the Elbe and the British
second, closing in pn the river
farther north, was within 10 miles
or less of Hamburg.
Pause Looms
i..en. umar N. Bradley, com
mander of the American 12th ar
my group, told reporters that the
auvance in the west had carried
to a definite line on which a "tem
porary pause" would be necessary
before beginning the next phase
a junction with the. Russians.
Soviet forces captured the out
posts of Seelow and Wriezen, east
oi liernn, and drove on to within
14 miles of the German capital. A

The allied program for the con;

at a press conference by Gen.
Bradley, whose command com
prises the American First, Third
Ninth and 15th armies.
Ueach Elbe Itlver
Bradley said the Dresent nhnsn
of operations has been "Dractl-
cany compieiea.
We have reached the Elbe
river line and since crossing the
Rhine we have taken 842.864 Drls-
oners," he said. "Virtually every
German soldier who faced us
back on the Siegfried line on
Feb. 23 is now either killed,
wounded or a prisoner."
Bradley said the allies now hold
about 36 per cent of the reich,
but the enemy's resistance has
made it clear that the Job will not
be finished until all of Germany
has been occupied.
Bradley's figures on prisoners
Included 300,000 taken by the First
and Ninth armies In the cleanup
of the Ruhr, where all organized
resistance ended early today ex

prisoners totalled 2,093,002 offl

tween dog lovers and dog haters."
Mrs. Howbrook, who promised
she would be back to press her
demands, even volunteered to
work part time as catcher of un
licensed and "nuisance" dogs. But
she strongly opposed the tying
up of animals, and blamed own
ers for not "bringing their dogs
up ngni.
Situation 'Bad' '
Chief of Police Ken, C. Gulick
was asked what his opinion of
the dog situation was, and he de
scribed it merely as "bad." He
urged as a "partial remedy," that
the dog licenses be increased to
$7.50 for males and $10 for fe
males. This, he pointed out, would
cause persons who do not care
for their pets to dispose of them,
and would also create a fund for
the employment of a dog catcher
and enforcement officer the year
around. He reported, incidentally,
that his officers dispose of an
average of 300 dogs annually that
have no licenses or constitute a
nuisance.
Commissioner Loyde S. Blakley
saw in the waterfowl in the park
somewhat of a "nuisance also,"
stating that it is impossible to
walk through there without get
ting one's clothing soiled. "Some
times I wonder what the citizens
of Bend paid $25,000 for the park
for when they get run out by the
ducks and geese!" he added.
Warning Issued
City Attorney Ross Farnham
pointed out. that in 1938 Bend
voters enacted the dog tie-up ordi
nance, the vote being 1,731 for
and 1,254 against. He predicted
that If dog owners opened a cam
paign to free their pets, "they
would run into plenty , of opposi
tion." He also said that the ordi
nance has already been amended
four times.
At this juncture, Mayor Nieber

alike to appear before the com
.mission after the budget matters
had been settled.
Carl A. Johnson! saying that he
was appearing at the behest of
business men, told the commis
sion that operators of men's rec
reation centers had asked him to
appear with a plea that card
games be allowed at five cents a
chip. j
"So they're just opening the
door a crack," City Attorney Farn
ham remarked. "Wouldn't want
to openly gamble, would they?"
Commissioner Blakley quickly
responded: . !
' "If that's the plan, my answer
is definitely no!" and followed
with: :
"How about you, Munkers?"
addressing commissioner Melvin
Munkers. i
"And I say no!" I
So Johnson said he would re
port their answer to the game
operators.
Don Connors, who circulated a
petition among Kiwanis members
at their last meeting, asking for
a vote of the people with a view
of abolishing the dog tie-up ordi
nance, sat through the meeting
without comment.

Milking Machine Operators

(United lYefts Staff CorreMpomlenl)
Washington, April 19 Hit A
guy who milks a cow by ma
chinery ain't no farmer, according
to Local 680 of the Teamsters'
union; he's a mechanic who's got
to pay dues. '
If he does the job by hand,
that's different. He's only a farm
er and Local 680, like the cow,
isn't interested.

senate agriculture committee
wants to know when does a farm
become a factory, anyhow, while
the war labor board, which has
its own idea about this, is about
to be called on the senatorial
carpet to explain.
Boy-oh-hoy. Bet you never knew
a glass of milk could cause so
much trouble. Neither did the sen

his son Junior came down to get
an official ruling on what kind of
place they are running, anynow.

50 cows every ten minutes. He
said it looked like a farm and
worked like a farm. He said he
thought it was a farm until Local
680 of the Teamsters dropped in
from Newark, N. J., to announce
that it was not either a farm, but a
tactory.
. "These people said that so lijng
as we milked cows by machinery,
the men who operated it were
machinists and the place had to
be unionized, Jeffers testified.
lie refused to sign up, the team
sters declared a boycott against

Philadelphia and way points, and
at the end of two weeks there
was so much milk spilt and soured
at Plainfield that Jeffers put his
name on the dotted line. He wasn't
happy about it.
He tried to get the war food
administration to make a ruling.
The WFA said, uh-uh. Then came
the war labor board to announce
that it would hold hearings on the
union's claims on May 1.
"And that's where the senate
comes Into this," said Senator
Warren R. Austin of Vermont.
"The war labor board was set up
by congress to handle industrial
labor disputes. By taking juris
diction here, It is classifying this
dairy farm as a factory. It is
changing the definition of what is
a farm."
. Yes sir, said Jeffers, and what
made it odder still was the fact
that another branch of the govern
ment claimed his factory was a
farm.
"It is kind of confusing." Jeffers
testified. "While the WLB is call
ing my place an Industrial plant,
the selective service administra
tion is calling it a farm, and ex
empting my workers from the
armed services." -
That still isn't all, Charles W.
Holman testified. He's secretary
of the National Cooperative Milk
Producers' federation and he says
that in America today there are
