Nazis Flee Wildly Before Advancing Yank Tank Forces (Continued From Pass One) past the rugged Rhineland hills into open and sparsely wooded farm country m tnc nean oi Germany had outflanked the whole Ruhr from the south. The U. S. seventh army, fight ing south of the third, was dis closed to have forged a 19-mile-long Rhine bridgehead north of outflanked Mannheim and driv en it four miles into inner Ger many in the first few hours. Seventh army prisoners in 12 days totalled 35.000. Gen. Eisenhower, fresh from visits to the British and first army fronts, said he believed that unconditional surrender would be imposed upon Ger many when the allies and Rus sian fronts finally meshed to gether. He expressed doubt there would be a negotiated un conditional surrender. Germany Whipped He declared the German army was whipped, although tough fighting lies ahead particular ly in the Ruhr and Westphalian plain, where the bulk of enemy strength in uie west is concen trated. German strength, however. was reported slackening even in that critical northern sector where flat tank country leads to the north door of Berlin. The ninth army deepened its front to 14 miles and reached to within two of Dorsten. Nazis Retreat Chaos was apparent in Ger man retreats in some sectors and even in the enemy's radio cries. The Berlin radio told cut-off troops and officials to "report immediately to their respective authorities and take up again duties in defense of the father land." This was the army which set out in 1939 to conquer the world. The Germans appeared great ly concerned about the third army push beyond Frankfurt on the Main, Germany's ninth larg est city, which was being mopped up. Confirming that Lt. Gen. George S. Patton Jr. was bearing down upon yuergburg, the enemy radio said: 'This breakthrough specialist, remaining faithful to his prac tice of ruthlessly keeping his ad vances fluid, is fanning out time and again with assault spear heads. He is trying to open a drive for the Wetterau and Kin zig valleys. A third tank wedge is advancing from Aschaffen burg (22 miles southeast of Frankfurt) toward Wuerzburg and has gained considerable ground." Traffic Violation Reported by Cops One traffic violation was re ported today by the local police, as well as two drunk reports, and one drunk bailed out. Five parking tickets were also paid at this, time. Klamath Falls police also re ported a few minor accidents, resulting in no injuries.

EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Paga One) army has flowed over the Rhine SOUTH of Patton and is moving forward on his right flank through a dense cloud of official secrecy. ""THERE were wild rumors this morning of a German sur render. Eisenhower tells us from Paris that he believes there will be no negotiated unconditional sur render, but rather an IMPOSED unconditional surrender when the allies in the west link up with the Russians in the cast. That sounds more probable although, of course, anything might happen. THE Japs continue to Insist that wn aria lnnrlinff in the Ryukyus, on Okinawa, the larg est and most important of these islands. We remain silent, but a communique from Nlmitz says we have been shelling Okinawa with battleships. There is probably something to the story. The Ryukyus are obviously our next step. If not now, we must invade them later. The Japs also Insist that we're landing on Cebu, the last of the big Philippine islands. ' ' MAC ARTHUR today adds 15.000 to the number of counted Jap dead in the Philip pines, bringing the total esti mated enemy casualties there to the staggering figure of 297,000. The little yellow men are still advancing in central China. "TOKYO radio (heard In Lon- don) offers a pipe dream to day to the effect that there Is a growing feeling in Japan that the present war will last 20 years and may even carry over into the next century. It tells of a new Jap outfit called the "Associa tion of the 20 Years War," and speaks of "high officials and personages" that are sponsoring it. This is a part of the standard, blown-in-the-bottle Jap strategy to convince us that killing 100, 000,000 Japs will be such a vast and awful job that it will be bet ter for us to give them a "de cent" peace and be done with it.
