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

A wish that congress as a
whole could be brought up to
the level of the Oregon delega
tion was expressed by Frank
Jenkins. 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.

"PODAY'S most important de-

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

conquered empire to the south-

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

Japs, anyway, that their leaders
can tell their people bland and
ridiculous falsehoods and appar
ently get away with it?

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. - . . .
