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.
Sojourners The regular
meeting of the Sojourners will
be held at the Willard hotel at
1:45 p. m. on Wednesday,
March 28. All newcomers to
Klamath Falls are cordially invited.

other parts of Oregon to contact.
Mrs. Margaret ura, nut

as to where mothers would live

their children. These are work
ing mothers who stay nights at
the residence, she explained.
Councilman Paul O. Landry
said that "this took the building
out of the nursery class." but no
recommendation was made.

Question to the council. She
asked what the penalty would
be if mothers were ordered to

would fall on the nursery opera

or 30 days in jail or both.

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

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.
