By Louis F. Kekmle
(United Press War Editor)
Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz, self-proclaimed- successor
to Adolf Hitler, removed Joachim von Ribbentrop as foreign
minister today in what London believed may be a move toward
trying to negotiate peace. , i
Radio Hamburg said the veteran von Ribbentrop had
been replaced by. Count Ludwig Schwerin von Krosigk, a
nephew of the late Kaiser Wilhelm.

fighting continued on widely
separated sectors of the front.
The Russians battling fa

The American Third army In
the south reached the last 40 mile
stretch north of Berchtesgaden
and struck in another direction
through the Austrian mountains
toward a junction with the Rus
sians. The Seventh army drove toward
Berchtesgaden from south of Mu
nich and also thrust an armored
spearhead to within less than nine
miles of Innsbruck in an effort to
seal off the Brenner pass,
The American Fifth army driv
ing northward through Italy was
35 miles from the Austrian iron
tier and prepared its arctic equip
ment for a drive to the Brenner
pass, through which remnants of
the shattered German forces were
trying to escape.
Fifth army units also were with

army strengthened its junction

Future Uncertain
The sudden accession of Admir
al Doenitz to power in Germany
left the status of the surrender
negotiations begun by Heinncn
Hlmmler In a highly uncertain
stage. '
Himmler's whereabouts were
not known, and there was mystery
about some oi tne omer -nazi
leaders. London heard that Paul
Joseph Goebbels, propaganda min

ler. The American Seventh army an

Marshal Karl von Rundstedt, for

Von Krosigk, wno was active in
German Dolitics long before Hit-1
ler, became" finance minister In
Hitler's government and a mem
ber of the nazl party. He was a
Rhodes scholar at Oxford and
speaks fluent English, and may
have been selected by Doenitz as
a man suitable for negotiations
with the allies. ' ;

How Many More MILES
Can Your CAR DO ? ?
The, answer is partly up to how carefully and spar
ingly you drive your car partly up to the condi

you keep right on riding on it your tires will be
shot in no time! But if you have fairly good rubber
good enough for one of our expert recapping
jobs you can get many more miles of safe riding
out of those tires. Look them over then drive
right over here.
