Curiously, the 11 German di

the north stood their ground un
til noon today, when they started
frantically to cross the Hhine-for
refuge.
At Krcfeld, the Americans
were within seven miles of Duis
burg, the great Rhineland port
that serves the Ruhr. Duessel
dorf already was being battered
by artillery, as were other .parts
of the factory-packed industrial
region whose value to Hitler'
war machine already was large
ly lost.
Plain Split
' The American triumphs had
split the Rhine plain.
The breakthrough salient
widened to 56 miles from a point
six miles north of captured ven
lo to Zuelpich, approaches to Co
logne and Bonn. At Neuss, the
Americans were 290 miles from
Berlin, the nearest approach
from the west. Maximum advanc
es in the week old campaign
were 23 miles from the Roer to
Neuss, across the Rhine from
Duesseldorf.
Dorothy Emily Riddle, indict

Asks Study'
O'Neill proposed that a com
pact negotiating committee of
the miners be formed "and that
an immediate study of the
miners' demands be undertak
en." Earlier, John L. Lewis denied
that his principal proposal
calling for a 10-cent royalty on
each ton of coal mined would
cost the operators S60,000,000.
He asserted that tax adjust
ments could cut this $24,000,
000 and that amount could be
passed on to the consumer.
He said it would cost 4 cents
a ton to pay for it on that basis
and added "It won't cost the
operators a single,- solitary
cent."
Increase In Cost"
"A cursory study of Mr.
Lewis' demands indicates an in
crease in the cost of production
of approximately $400,000,000
per year, or oa cents per ion,
O'Neill said.
'This means a daily increase
to each mine worker of $3.30
per day. Some items are impos
sible of calculation and would
further increase the cost of pro
duction." O'Neill criticized the UMWA
for notifying the government

While the proprietor of one
place said the pressure was so
great that this place might close
up also, some others reported in
creased crowds but said they
were "getting by."
It appeared Hint ninny people,
who ordinnrlly cat in a down

nizing places further out, or nrc
making some other arrange
ments to avoid congested condi
tions downtown.
One of the two dosed places,
Hcrshbcrgcr's. has been suspend
ed from selling rationed foods
for 15 days and is now part way
through the suspension period.
The other is Klnnmth Billiards,
which was originally slated for
OPA suspension this week, but
will not begin official suspension
until March 19. The manage
mcnt, however, had arranged to
close down this week before the
chanffb was made, and the place
is not now operating.
One restaurant, which hns
drawn heavily from the usual
patrons of Hcrshbcrgcr's, report
ed a daily jam that is proving al
most too much for management
and eniDloyos. Unless there is re
lief, this plncc may be closed
voluntarily by the management,
it was indicated.

that the closure of Hershberger's
