TWO HERALD AfrD NEWS T (Continued From Page One) Germans were not committing all their available ' strength against the bridgehead because they were wary of possible cross ings at other points. The biggest concentration ot German tanks yet threatening the bridgehead were sighted yes terday around the village of Staktharinen, due east of Remagen. and between the Amer ican lines and the superhighway to the Ruhr. The number of tanks seen was only about 150 or 200, however. The capture of Honnef pro vided a firm northern anchor for the bridgehead into which men and material streamed across two bridges to reinforce the .70,000 -men the Germans said already were there. Town Captured Moving forward through the foretd hills east of the Rhine in a dawn attack, the Americans captured the town of St. Cathartmen, four miles north east of Lini and seven miles di recllv east of a large bend in the river. The infantry moved on btvond less than two miles from the Ruhr-Frankfurt on the main superhighway. Kretien houi, five miles east of the Rhine, was cleared and Kalen born was entered. A Berlin broadcast declared German piar.es scored direct hits t on the Remagen bridge over the Rhine and on a pontoon bridge nearby but a frontline dispatch said the Ludendorff bridge still was functioning at .9:30 a. m. battlefront time today. Indians Clear Mandalay of Japs PAGODA HILL, Mandalay, March 14 W) Mandalay was rapidly being cleared of the Japanese today as infantry, ar tillery and tanks of the Indian 19th division smashed their way through the southern part of the city.

Japanese infantry, - falling back from building to building, were dropping under automatic rifle fire.

THE cigarette girl draws back with a frightened expression, kicks shut the drawer under the counter and says: "There aren't any cigarettes. There won't be anv more today." The deal is off. A moron could see that. A LITTLE discreet inquiry among the eager, but balked, customers, clears tilt mystery. It seems that the hotel tobacco counter is in the habit of putting a little dribble of the precious smokes on sale at odd moments throughout the day. The time chosen for launching the sale is when the lobby is practically empty, and the idea seems to be that if these times are picked the girl will stand a better chance of coming out of the rush alive and all in one piece. But the customers are nobody's fools either. Studying the habits of their quarry, as an astute hunter studies the habits of the wild game, they' have got onto the system and at likely hours they secrete themselves in dark corners and behind pillars and when the first sale is made they rush in for the kill. It is to this low estate that the lot of the cigarette smoker has fallen in these parlous days. $5000 Appropriation .
