March S3. lUi "I MM n IS ALLIES CALM (Continued From Page One) adian Press wirelessed from Montgomery' headquarters, "It is anybody's guess when the zero hour will come." The only fighting on the 65 mile critical stretch of the low er Rhine between Arnhcm and Duesseldorf was by increasing ly active patrols, by artillery batteries and the bombing and strafing air fleets. : Bradley's : remarks implied that no pause for rest and re fitting was needed before his first and third armies crossed the Rhine at places other than the Remagcn bridgehead, now lengthened to 33 miles with the capture of Neuwied near Cob Ipiiz and hamlets within 12 miles of the lower rim of the Ruhr. American losses in driv ing up to the west bank were extremely small compared to the catastrophic losses of the foe, Bradley said. - One report which the Paris radio announced it recorded from the German radio said assault crossings of the lower Rhine already had been started by Montgomery's troops. Su preme headquarters spoke only of patrol actions. Allied Air Might Strikes A terrific weight of allied air power shook the Ruhr again to day and showered ruin over the network of communications on the great German plain north of it. This was the area east of the Arnhem-Wesel elbow of the Rhine, where the Germans said the 21st army group had massed the greatest concentration of power since Normandy. The intermeshing third and seventh armies flattened the Germans back almost to the Rhine banks in the Palatinate. The Germans asserted that a river crossing between Worms and virtually captured Ludwig shafen had been defeated, but that hi. Gen. George S. Patton Jr., bad massed . amphibious tanks.

Herald and News pub lisher, in a talk to tnc notary club at noon Friday. Jenkins is just home from a business trip to Washington, where he attended sessions of the treasury department's news paper war bond advisory com mittee, of which he is a mem ber. He gave his personal impres sions of Oregon congressmen and senators, and other observa tions made in the national capi tal. He heaped warm praise on Lowell Stockman, second dis trict congressman, and stated that it is men of his type who form the nucleus of a hoped-for sound congressional situation in the future. Jenkins, who attended a pres idential press conference, stat ed that news and news-film pic tures of President Roosevelt do not do him justice. The presi dent, he said, appears in the best of health. Henry Semon was chairman of the day. EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) so by weakening on EITHER front. They can run from us first or they can run Jtrom the Russians first. "PODAY'S most important de- - vnlnnmArit in tha Pa-ifi(- war is a - new drive launched by 60,000 Japs, supported by tanks, westward from Hankow, in China. Its chief purpose seems to be to strengthen their grip on the railroad that runs north and south through China. This trail line is now practically their only remaining link -with their conquered empire to the south- tor we nave taken possession of the water lanes and are sinking jap snip3 at a staggering rate. A SOMEWHAT puzzling, but in its way almost amusine. de velopment is provided by Pre mier Koiso, who blandly prom ises his little yellow men to launch an oiiensive "toward the recapture of Iwo Jima, Sal pan and GUADALCANAL. Even as late as a year aeo. such a blast of bombast would have worried us a little but now, with the Jap navy gone, it merely puzzles us by its ab surdity. What kind of people are these Japs, anyway, that their leaders can tell their people bland and ridiculous falsehoods and appar ently get away with it? Case of Teen-Age Boy Continued The teen-age boy picked up on a drunk and disorderly charge at the. Southern Pacific depot Saturday night, appeared in juvenile court Thursday at wnicn time circuit judge David R. Vandenberg said he would take the case under advisement until Saturday at 10 a. m. Testimony in the case was given by parents,-a step-father and mother, juvenile officers, city and tsF special police. The boy remains in custody of the juvenile auinoruies.

As the ereat bombardment reaches its apex its chief significances lies in the tremendous disorganiz ing effect which it has had upon communications across the Rhine. ' Starry Figures Figures on the number of planes participating have reach ed almost astronomical figures. When the Germans nut 600 air craft over London one day back in 1940 it was regarded as a tremendous blitz. Today with fleets of 7000 or 8000 allied planes aloft, 500 aircraft hardly constitute a good-sized- escort force. Since the first of the month the allies have sent an average or uuu pianes over me reicn a day, a total of about 92,000 in dividual flights. Of this total. about 21.350 have been flown by U. S. heavy bombers. . ine u. s. eigntti and ninth air forces, the RAF bomber com mand and the second tactical air force have dropped approxi mately 145,000 tons of bombs in this period. Since the begin ning of the war the Germans have hit England "with only 70, 000 j tons including "flying bombs , .., Germany is approaching the final phase of the war with her oil production - at the lowest levels aince Hitler's forces eet out -on their disastrous road of conquest, it was learned at su preme headquarters. As a result of ceaseless allied bombing, oil output has sunk to an estimated 45,000 tons month ly only nine per cent of the production rate at the time air attacks on oil plants began in earnest last April. . . Throughout the present inten sive aerial campaign German air opposition has . been virtually nil. Despite the. vast numbers of planes involved, American losses since March 1 have been 134 bombers and 73 fighters, while 200 British bombers and fighters have, been reported missing. - . . .

Moscow reports suggested that Koncv's victory In upper Silesia was paving the way for the Ber lin attack. A breakthrough .of 25 miles, celebrated in Moscow last night by a victory salute, was hailed by Izvestia as "most important and In a direction dangerous for Germany." -Quick fall of the five threat ened cities.
