COUNCILMEN SEEK TO CLARIFY DAW (Continued from Page One) it was not in the minds of anj present here to attack the integ rity of the judge of the court.” Continuing, Mr. Romeo explain ed ‘‘my question as to why was the man convicted predicated or the fact that the testimony could or should have been introduced to indicate that the Negro was innocent, as was brought up at the hearing here. Therefore,, it was puzzling to me as to how a conviction was obtained, .f the evidence was introduced in court. Mr. Yow was quoted last weak as saying ‘‘if the court had had the information we do, the Negro would never have been convict ed.” The Council ordered close su pervision of tree trimming by the City Manager and parks su perintendent and a follow-up in spection ‘‘to see that trees are not cut back more than neces sary.” It explained that no addi tional parking meters were plan ned to be installed on Chestnut stteet. j This action followed the hearing d a complaint by Marx Nathan, of 1812 Princess street, that tree trimming by light and telephone companies last year produced “murderous slashing.” The Coun cil heard a committee of women decry the cutting of trees on Chestnut street, between second and Fifth, where the street is toeing widened. Recommendations that Firemen H. W. Corbett and R. N. Sellers be promoted to fill department vacancies went forward to the Civil Service commission. A contract to furnish a plat form trailer for general City use Was awarded to the Carolfcia tfractor and Equipment Co., of Raleigh, which submitted a bid of $1,947.50. The contractor's request to ex tend the deadline for completion of .the reservoir until April 26 was granted. : A hearing was set for 11 a. m. Slarch 28 in connection with Po lice Chief C. H. Casteen’s recom mendation that the operator’s beer and wine license of the Eight Ball Pool Room, 107 South Front street, be revoked on account of the establihment’s reportedly fiad reputation. The City Manager was author ised to advertise for bids to furnish a police call system. It was explained that fire recently damaged the presently used 20 J^-ear-old equipment. Cost of a giew radio dask was estimated at between $7,500 and $8,000. J" City Manager A. C. Nichols re ported that the Atlantic Coast pLine railroad proposes to erect (signals at three City railroad ‘Crossings. § -V Tungsten carbide is so hard that ft will scratch sapphire. LTo open Stllfly NjStrils : Fast ; MENTHOLATUM i 1 Yanks Expand Bridgehead; ■ Nazis Say Span Destroyed (Continued from Page One) ces east of Cologne and north of the American holding. The Remagen bridge, across which the bulk of men, tanks and guns have poured into the mount ing bridgehead battle, was report ed to be in better condition now than when it was seized, thanks to the fast and efficient repairs made by Army Engineers under direct artillery fire. Although new and tighter cen sorship restrictions were damned on the bridgehead operation, it was permitted to be disclosed th it Lt. Gen. Courtney H: Hodges’ troops had driven beyond captur ed Honnef at the north end of the bridgehead and had reached the outskirts of Notscheid, four miles northeast of Remagen. St. Catherinen, directly east of Remagen, was cleared in a 1,000 yard advance, and other units pushed fbrward approximately a mile into the hills beyond Gins terhahn, east of Linz. The wide military highway built by Hitler was under bombardment both by American artillery and planes. “The bridgehead operation now is in its expansion phase, and in this hilly region it necessarily is slow work,” cautioned AP Corre spondent Don Whitehead in a front dispatch. “There is no reason at this stage to expect anything sen sational in the way of gains.” Joining in the steady application of pressure all along the Western Front, the U. S. Seventh Army opened a new attack in the Saar brucken area and drove more than a mile into Germany just west of the capital city of the Saarland. The 70th Infantry Division spear headed the attack and captured the town of Stiring-Wendel, northeast of Forbach, without a fight. The Doughboys then pushed on nearly; I three miles northward to reach i the Saar river just west of Saar bruecken. Petite Rousselle and Krughutt were overrun in the ad vance. The Thrust gave the Seventh Army a new foothold inside Ger many along a five-mile front and to a depth of two miles. Since Feb. ruary 23 Lt. Gen. Alexander M. Patch’s troops have been drawn up approximately a mile and a half sout of Saarbrucken, foundry city of 135,000. American fighter-bombers scor ed a wholesale kill against the German Air Force when they found a field packed with gassed up enemy fighters near Lippe, 30 miles east of the Rhine bridge head, and sent 56 of them up in smoke and flame. Another 47 were damaged in the savage attack, which cost three U. S. Thunder bolts, two of them by collision. The closely-parked German ma chines blew up like firecrackers, indicating they were loaded with fuel and ready to participate in a concerted attack either against American troops in the bridgehead or against the two bridges span ning the Rhine there. Not a single enemy plane was permitted to get into the air. The last half-dozen German-held towns north of the Moselle river were captured by Third Army troops as they eliminated a 16 square-mile salient midway be tween Coblenz and Trier. Only a few isolated enemy pockets in the winding loops of the river remain ed to be mopped up. South of the Moselle, where oth er Third Army forces joined the 94th Infantry Division in a new eastward attack out of a bridge head over the Saar, Lt. Gen. Pat ton’s troops beat off 11 German counterthrusts during the night and continued to advance along a fair ly broad front. AMERICANS TAKE ROMBLON, S1MARA (Continued from Page One) Aircraft and naval guns support eight enemy artillery batteries. Light naval craft sank several Jap anese seacraft off Basilan island 12 miles south of Zamboanga. Heavy bombers dropped more than 100 tons of bombs on oil stor age areas and rail yards at For mosa while patrol planes swept China Sea shipping. Borneo took a 60-ton bombing. Romblon island, ten miles long and five wide, is in between Ta blas and Sibuyan islands, both of which are in Japanese hands. Si mara island is about 20 miles to the northwest. It measures five miles long and three wide. General MacArthur gave no tac tical reason for occupying the is lands, but undoubtedly it is part of the Allied strategy to clear the Japanese from the many islands of the central Philippines. 11-TON BOMBS POUND REICH (Continued from Page One) er was destroyed and another was damaged. The Luftwaffe offered, small scale opposition over Germany. Mustangs of the 353rd fighter group intercepted 20 ME - 109s forming up over a German air field near Luckenwalde south of Berlin and shot down 11. Eighth Air Force fighters shot down a total of 15 German planes during the day, including three jet-propelled planes. One jet was shot down over the Remagen bridgehead as it attempted to sneak in to bomb the bridge. The others were shot down near Sieg en. Ninth Air Force planes destroy ed 60 German planes in the air, damaged 55 and destroyed 58 on the ground in four attacks on Lippe airfield and three air battles, in cluding one over the Remagen ui iugciitdu. r our i\inin Air r orce planes were lost, two by collision in the air. Sixteen planes of the 19th- Tacti cal Air Force jumped 50 German planes over Frankfurt and forced them to jettison their bombs and belly tanks on the German city. Four German planes were shot down and one was damaged. The Eighth Air Force targets included rail routes to the Ruhr, three oil refineries, three armor ed vehicle plants, and E-boat tor pedo-craft pens on the Dutch coast. Bomber crews said the Ger mans threw up intense and pro longed anti-aircraft Ore, particu larly in the vicinity of oil objec tives. AMEMCANFLAG RAISED ON IWO (Continued from Page One) of burials. Many more Japanese bodies are known to be sealed up in bomb-blasted caves. In reporting the raising of the flag, usually designating a con quest, the communique specified “some resistance still continues.” Iwo-based Army planes and Ar my Liberators from more distant bases pounded Chichi in the Bonin Islands, north of Iwo on succes sive days, Tuesday and Wednes day. Army Liberators also hit south ern Paramushiro in the Kuriles, around Kitano point, a smaller poc ket still is holding out against Maj. Gen. Clifton B. Catep’ Fourth Ma rine Division at Tachiiwa point on the east side. -V Russians Force Foe Back At Koenigsberg (Continued from Page One) In the Stettin area near the northwestern corner of the Russi an front, the Germans claimed the Russians were regroupng their assault units and bringing up Po lish reinforcements. One enemy commentator said there were in dications Soviet troops intend to try taking Stettin in an encircle ment maneuver by forcing the Oder river north and south of the city. The Berlin radio claimed the successful evacuation by sea of 590,000 refugees, most’y women and children, from East and West Prussia. < I CRYSTAL RESTAURANT ! NOW OPEN for BREAKFAST 5:30 A.

SHIP PROGRAM MAY END SOON (Continned from Page One) employes and their absorption in other work. “There will be plenty of work for all,” he said. He added that “unless there is some unforeseen change in the war needs,” the merchant shipbuilding program will be about complete by the end of this year.’’ Many of the yards on the West Coast are being converted, as building space allows, into repair installations. The admiral explain ed that the more ships there are the more repair space necessary. The repair yards will require a great deal of manpower but will not use it in Ihe scale of ship building, he added. Then, the larger number of new ships will require bigger numbers of men as stevedores and other work. But the changeover will be grad ual and with little if any upset to family life. Great numbers of people will not be moved great distances. He said that many re pair yards will likewise be set up on the East Coast in lieu of those now building new ships. He revealed that because of the need for tremendously large sup ply shipments to Pacific areas, much is now being shipped from East Coast and Gulf ports, be cause West Coast ports have not the capacity to accommodate the shipping. Railroads likewise could not pos sibly move all the supplies overland and still meet the needs of the forces to the West, he said. Maritime Commission shipyards now are employing 244,000 people on the West Coast, 104,000 on the Gulf, 17,000 on the Great Lakes and 156,000 on the East Coast, Vickery said. He said that when all vessels now under contract are completed the country will have ample ship ping to meet any emergency. He said that the slowup of ship ping is not the fault of any U. S. port operations. Ships in port are handled with exeptional speed. The turnaround abroad, however, is another thing, he said, explain ing that lack of port facilities present the most serious problem. —-V PROBE INTO FOOD SHORTAGES URGED (Continued from Page One) the War Investigating Committee has been inquiring into the food situation with a view to holding public hearings soon. The Banking Committee is con sidering legislation to extend the Price Control Act, now due to ex pire June 30, through 1946. Chil dress, general manager of the Houston (Texas) Packing Co., di rected his testimony principally to the effect he said OPA regula tions have had on the meat indus try. Under them, he said, packers are operating at a loss and he asked an amendment to the price law to require that no ceiling on any cut or variety of meat be low er than cost.

Had the rules committee’s rec ommendation been rejected or amended, Republicans planned to move for immediate consideration of the Senate bill and to offer as a substitute a similar proposal once rejected by the House. Representative Halleck (R-Ind) warned that a stalemate would re sult if the legislation went to con ference, and there might be no bill at all.

TOM’S DRUG STORE JAPS ARE FACING NEW AIR MENACE (Continued from Page One) ng. On the heels of this came the »reat fire raids on Nagoya and Osaka. When he took over the 21st com nand here last January, General OeMay said the Japanese would se hit “more and more until they iecide they have had enough.” Earlier, Brig. Gen. Lauris Nor stad, chief of staff of the 20th Air n'orce said “if necessary” to win he war Japan would be lashed jy missions of 1,000 or more B-29s. At the time the Superforts first )c gan to hit Japan-proper from Ohma bases the missions were ifficially described as “light” and single plants were named as the ;argets. When the Yanks got bases »t Tinian, Saipan and Guam the 3-29 fleets grew gradually through he terms “medium” to “sizeable” :o “large” and finally “very arge.” Target areas increased in size accordingly and the fires, first iescribed as “big,* now have be some “conflagrations.” The smashing raids on Nagoya md Osaka during the past three lays have been marked by an Dther change in strategy. The big bombers, originally winging in over targets at from 25,000 to 30,000 feet, went after prime military targets at low level—as low as ———"g* 5,000 feet—this assuring greater ac curacy in blanketing given areas. Latest reports on the Osaka raid —where a teeming district of thou sands of small homes or family industries as well as great war plants were hit—show that the fire bombs wiped out five square miles or more. The burned out area in Tokyo was 16.7 square miles and at Nagoya two square miles. This great devastation was accomplish ed at a cost of four Superforts. The wrecked regions, counted as a total, are larger than the respec tive areas of Manhattan, Dayton, Ohio; Jersey City, N. J.; or Al bany, N. Y., and almost as large as Syracuse, N. Y. Radio Tokyo admitted that fires still burned in Osaka 10 hours after the attack. -V Reckless Driving Case Delayed Until Verdict ' On Automobile Larceny The case of Eloe Walters, Ne gro, 25, of 205-B Worth drive.
