Legis lators now are setting Tuesday as the date for sine die adjournment. The Senate, meanwhile, marked time. It passed a few local and public bills, but gept its calendar in shape for immediate clearance when the House pulls abreast. The local bill which caused so much debate in the House was in troduced and sponsored through the Senate by Democratic Senator Henry Vann of Sampson, who rep resents the Ninth District. It was tabled in the House last Friday upon motion of Honeycutt, who said the measure didn’t appeal to the people of his county and would cost the taxpayers an additional $6,000 yearly. Under provisions of the bill, a Bemocratic sheriff in the county who now collects the county’s taxes would be replaced by an appointee of the County Board of Commis sioners, which is composed of two Republicans and one Democrat.

He and Groza appear to be firm friends, slapping one another on the back, laughing, joking and be coming confidential and serious when the occasion arises. Groza, who took office March 6, looks like a prosperous retired wrestler and talks like a poet. He said today he believed his govern ment was here to stay and that he was "satisfied the future will prove to everyone this is a peo ple's government.” ■\T Old Proverb Turns Sour When New Broom Sweeps, House Owner Is Cleaned Handed a broom and told to clean the house, a newly hired maid yesterday not only whisked away the dirt, but also made a clean sweep of a billfold containing approximately nine dollars, ac cording to police reports.

Both Mrs. Powers and Jesse A.

She added, for the benefit of cautious hobbyists, that all exhibits will be roped off and that attendants will keep onlookers from handling ex hibition pieces. “It should also be made plain,” she said, “that the public as a whole, not only exhibitors is invited to come view the show which will open Wednesday.” Third Drives To Coblenz Delivers Final Ultimatum (Continued from Page One) across the Rhine into the north German plain. These accounts said British and American artillery were searing German east bank positions with barages of mounting intensity. German attempts to hold back the American tide on a 13-mile front east of the Rhine was struck a heavy blow by the cutting of the six-lane Rhine-Ruhr highway, over which they had been moving troops from one sector of the bridgehead to the other. The 78th Infantry Division fought astride the Autobahn at 11:14 a.m. near Bruensberg. eight miles northeat of the bridge at Remagen.

Padrick was picked from a final list of three lieutenants which also included J. B. Coley and H. W. Corbett, both his juniors in terms of service. Bullard was chosen after considerable discus sion had narrowed his competition to Privates Canfield and Poiysll, both of whom had enlisted on the same day he did. During the investigation into qualifications it was emphasized that off-duty work outside the De partment did not constitute a “black mark’’ on any man’s rec ord, since it had been authorized by the Council in 1943. It was also established that Department mem bers’ final merit-ratings were available for their inspection upon inquiry to Mr. Rippy, but that the Chief’s and captains’ question naire-answers, basis for the ra tings, were never seen by the men rated.

In this area, the Germans had built up their heaviest defenses and it was from here that they struck with the biggest tank force yet employed in the struggle. The Germans threw in 24 tanks against the Ninth, whose blazing guns and bazookas knocked out five of them, forcing the rest to break off the battle and withdraw. Another attack was thrown in from a wooded section, about four miles north, near where American infantry cut the highway, and the Germans were thrown back after a furious melee. Thirteen miles south on the Rhine from embattled Koenigswinter, the First Army had captured 50 towns opposed after seizing surrounding hills. Civilians broke out while flags as their Nazi soldiers pulled out. The greatest eastward penetra tion was to the Weid river, seven miles east of tlje bridge, where the Americans overran Steinshardt and entered Reinffert, seven miles southeast of the bridge. The Germans were desperately building up forces in an attempt to smash Lt. Gen.

The 25th Division closed in on Minuli, only 3 1-2 air miles south of Balete pass which leads into northern Luzon. Toward the west coast, the 33rd Division drove up the tortuous Kennon road toward Camp 3, only 8 1-2 miles south of Baguio, while the 32nd Division infiltrated through the Benguet mountains due south of Baguio. The American forces controlled the entire southern end of the pe ninsula, the only military valu able spot in southwestern Minda nao.
