Writers Get Rare View Of Reds In Trek Behind Lines By Robert Vermillion United Press Correspondent With the Russian Army South of Potsdam, Germany, May 2 (U.R) Four Americans, "lost" In the middle of the Red army, drove 30 miles behind the Rus sian lines today. We proceeded through crowds of cheering, saluting soviet troops after the U. S. 9th army's junction with Marshal Ivan S. Konev's men southwest of Ber lin. Those with me are Holdbrook Bradley of the Baltimore Sun, Martin Harris of Stars and Stripes, and John Raymond. We got a view of the Russian army rarely accorded foreign correspondents. We rode In a jeep bp the road toward Berlin, and got within 26 miles of Pots dam. Germans Halt Ride Our ride toward Berlin was halted by the presence of Ger mans astride the main road to the capital. From the time we entered the Russian lines we were shaking hands, grinning till our faces Y CLEAN GOLDEN SKINS C?k vitamin G mark our Desert Grapefruit Desert sunshine grows our grapefruit golden bright inside and out . . . fills them to bursting with vitamin C.

As a matter of fact the Rus sians we met and they included Russians from Siberia to Poland treated the whole subject of the war as if It were over al ready. Prussians Fraternise In the dozen towns and ham lets through which we passed the soldiers were fraternizing freely with liberated girl -slave laborers, to say nothing of some highly attractive Russian WACS. The Russians were not very tall. And most of them appered to be quite young. All insisted on shaking hands with the Americans. They were cheerful but dirty, and were dressed in a variety of uniforms. Yanks Good "Tovarichs" Their attitude toward the Americans seemed to be based on the idea all Americans were good "Tovarichs" who have been a great deal of help, but that it was really the Russians who have won the war. The half dozen grinning Red army men at one point stood around almost shyly until one, more emotional than the others, stepped up, threw his arms around me as if I were his sweet heart, and planted a long moist kiss on my left cheek. We drove into Wittenberg past startled Russians who at first did not recognize the strange uniforms and jeep markings. Populace Saddened The German civilians recog nized us immediately and our appearance was the bright spot on their day. They mistakenly believed the Americans were go ing to take over the town. One civilian stepped up, asked "will your Americans occupy Wittenberg?" and became sad when we said no.

Attending were stock raisers, slaughterers and meat retailers. Frederic Janney OPA district rationing executive, Portland, explained the new order, point ing out that Oregon had been fortunate in the matter of fresh meat supplies in the past. Jan ney stated that the meat prob lem Is due largely to the demand from armed forces and from people living in congested war work areas where the supply must be federally Inspected. To meet the problem, the govern ment must either increase the volume handled by government inspected plants or induce non federal plants to undertake fed eral inspection, the speaker said. Even this will have little affect on the consumer supply here, he declared. Under the new act, non-federal inspected plants handling more than 6000 pounds of dress ed meat per year must register with OPA in Portland, before May 14, Janney said. Farm slaughterers, or those who slaughter less than 6000 pounds per year, must register with the local board, and slaughter for home use is not affected. Slaugh terers will be mailed applica tions and instructions. The speaker said that meat Is the only rationed commodity which cannot be controlled at the inception of the product, as is gas, sugar and other products. Tips has resulted in extensive black market operations, he de clared. It was brought out dur ing the talk that a person with out a farm cannot legally buy an animal, have it raised or fat tened and slaughtered for him. Following the speaker there was discussion of OPA practices to affecting the stock industry, with Vern Brophy and C. C. Hoover raising questions. Also here for the meeting was John Ferris of the district OPA at Portland. Wednesday.
