The 11th Armored division raced eastward for a 23-mile gain and reached the vicinity of Arnesriedt, 40 miles east of Regensburg and 11 miles north of the Danube. It was there that Patton's fighters were within- 35 miles of Austria and about 93 miles due north of Hitler’s Berchtesgaden hideout. The Seventh Army’s 44th divi sion slashed across the Danube at Ehingen just southwest of Ulm aft er1 capturing that city of 60,000 with the assistance of French forces. The 12th Armored Division expanded its bridgehead across the Danube near Dillingen, 50 miles northwest of Munich, to 10 miles wide and six deep and began prob ing into the foothills of the Alps. Fanning out along the north bank of the Danube, the 10th Armored division reached Erbach, six miles southwest of Ulm. Pol singen, 36 miles north of Augsburg was captured by the 42nd Infantry division in a 10-mile thrust. Twenty American and French infantry divisions and eight armor ed divisions were participating in the mighty offensive to crush the enemy's vaunted southern redoubt. Munich, birthplace of the Nazi party and possible site of its ulti mate destruction, was being caught in a mammoth nutcracker by more than 375,000 Allied fight ing men. of Ulm and south of Stuttgart were being compressed by Seventh Ar my troops. Southeast of Stuttgart they captured a V-bomb plant cov ering 80 acres which had operated up to last Friday with 2,500 slave laborers. French forces, driving east well beyond their Danube crossing at Sigmaringen and 20 miles beyond their last reported positions in the area between the Danube and Lake Constance. captured Baltringer and Ochsenbausen, 15 to 22 miles south of Ulm. Other French units pushed five miles south to Bellin gen and Liel. within 10 miles of Basel. Switzerland. (The Swiss radio reported that German refugees were streaming across the border into that neutral country and that French troops were advancing close to Fried richshafen, home of the Zeppelins, which was said to be in flames.) A front dispatch fi'om Howarc Cowan of the Associated Press said both the French and Americans were knifing forward almost at will and cutting off huge pockets o Germans both north and south of the Danube in the area west of Ulm. The Seventh Army captured two German generals. Ulm,. on the west bank of the Danube, was the scene of one of Napoleon’s most complete victor ies. It was there the Austrian Ar my surrendered to the Corsican in 1805. The Danube is navigable all the way from Ulm to the Black sea. The Third Army’s 11th Armored Division sent two tank columns in (to Cham, rail center 28 miles north "east of Regensburg, while the 26th Infantry advanced 18 miles to the Scongras area, 17 miles northeast of "Regensburg. Other infantry en tered Beratzhausen, 13 miles west of Regensburg and 62 miles north of Munich. British Second Army forces li the north pressed their siege or the blazing port of Bremen, which had rejected two ultimatums to surrender and was being fiercely ■defended by its Nazi garrison. A field dispatch said the city prob ably would be taken only after it had been destroyed — house by house. Field Marshal Sir Bernard L. Montgomery’s 52nd Infantry Divi sion captured Arbergen, less than three miles from Bremen's east ern outskirts, but still had to fight its way through the large suburb of Hastedt before it could assault j the city proper.

It BRITISH FAVOR RED VOTE PLAN (Continued from Page One) sible for initiating studies and making recommendations with re spect to the development and re vision of the rules and principles of international law.” “The economic and social coun cil should specifically provide for the promotion of educational and other forms of culvural coopera tion.” v The exact language of the “jus tice” proposal: “The charter should provide specifically that adjustment or set tlement of international disputes should be achieved with due re gard for the principles of justice and international law.” Stettinius’ news conference did little either to increase or dispel a general tone of confidence and determination that big and small nations alike “must not and will not fail” in their task of erecting a world peace structure. American delegates showed no disposition of alarm at Russia’s request for three votes — although the unspoken wish was that it be withdrawn in the interests of har mony. Nor did they seem disturb ed any more than they have been in the past that the British Com monwealth has a combined power of six votes in the assembly. The United States view on that point is that the Commonwealth nations are by function, indepen dent, and that they are not to be expected to vote as a bloc. The main importance of the as sembly votes is that they help de termine the biennial changes of membership of smaller nations on the powerful security council which is the heart of the proposed world organization. T~\ _ 1_-_ 4__J 4V. ,4- 4V. „ day. Tonight the roster of repre sentatives of 46 nations, .pledged to produce a plan for peace, was almost complete. Late tomorrow afternoon Secre tary of State Stettinius will call them to order in San Francisco’s magnificient Opera House, open the conference formally, and in troduce President Truman, speak ing by *radio from Washington. Chairman of the American dele gation and temporary chairman of the conference itself, Stettinius stepped down from a glistening transport plane this morning. He said: “I come to San Francisco with the firm belief that the United Nations are united in their de termination to succeed in estab lishing a world organization. “I say this with no wish to mini mize the difficulties that we must meet both at this conference and afterwards. I say it because I be lieve all the peaceful peoples of the world demand this of us and the governments represented at this conference must not and will not fail them.” __ 19 Are Named Citizens In Federal Courtroom • Nineteen people from this area became citizens of the' United States yesterday in Federal court.
