Each carrier proposes to operate to and from Bolling Springs with service extended to Gaffney, S. C. where north and south connec tions would be provided. Since Inter-state schedules would be op erated, permission will have to be obtained from the Interstate Com merce Commission; before fran chises are granted and service is Instituted several months may elapse. In connection with the hear ing it is learned that a new and adequate bus station for Shelby has been discussed for some time and plans are al ready drawn for a commodious station to be erected as soon as building restrictions are lift ted. The carriers which run in and out of the present station on West Marlon street have recognized for several years that the station is inadequate but because of build ing restrictions have been unable to improve conditions. A bus sta tion must have separate waiting rooms for white and colored, at least four toilets, baggage space, public address system and a lunch counter. All of these and more will be included in plans for the new | station which will be erected on a large lot here when building re strictions are lifted.

LAGUNA DE BAY The Los Banos internment camp is on the southern end of Laguna De Bay, a large inland body of water south of Manila, on the west ern shores of which American in fantrymen have been driving for days. Los Banls is the last Japanese prisoner internment camp on Luzon Island to be emptied by conquering American forces. The camp is at Los Banos on the main highway running south from Manila through Laguna province It nestles at the foot of Makiling volcano. The camp was established by the Japanese in May, 1943. The first Americans imprisoned there were 800 men and 13 U. S. Navy nurse! from the Canacao hospital neai Cavite. Later other men, women and chil dren were transferred to Los Bano; until the population grew to 3,146 FIVE Starts On Fags One search by more than 600 person! starting soon after the pilot had reported to the emergency landing field at Chilhowie, Va., that he was having motor trouble. But it was more than twelve hours after the pilot’s report be fore a farmer, one of the search ers met Mrs. Ulen, who had start ed out barefooted at daybreak to summon aid for her more seriously injured companions lying without shelter on the bleak mountainside. Even after the farmer succeed ed in telephoning for help, it was several hours before stretcher bearing state police and forest ran gers were able to ascend the almost perpendicular slope and reach the plane. Airline officials said so far they have not determined the cause of the crash of the twin-engine plane, known as the Mercury, on a New York to Los Angeles flight. HIT STORM A doctor at the M-rion hospital quoted one of the injured as say ing that the plane “hit a terrific storm” shortly before it plunged to earth. He said several of the survivors told him they were a sleep at the time and didn’t know anything was wrong until after the accident. He was told, he said, that the stewardess and Mrs. Ulen were thrown clear of the wreckage and the others were not. Of those aboard only three were civilians. In addition to Mrs. Ul en, they were listed by the airlines as Major Carlos Audifred, identi fied as a member of the Mexican purchasing commission in New York, whose home is in Mexico City, and Clyde J. Pinney of the Baldwin Locomotive works, Phila delphia. RECORDS JUST RECEIVED There’s A New Moon Over My Shoulder Beat Out Dat Rhythm on A Drum You Belong to My Heart By The Sleepy Lagoon PHONE 788 SHELBY, N. C. A WINE AND BEER OPERATORS ARE FINED IN COURT Operators of the Plantation gril on the Grover road and of Clyde': ) Barbecue on Highway 74 west o: r Shelby, both beer and wine estah ■ lishments, were ordered to sell nc i more alcoholic beverages unless anc [ until their licenses are renewed bj , Judge A. A. Powell in Cleveland Recorder’s court this morning. Clyde Morrow, Ben Dover and A V. Gardner were all convicted ol operating these places without proper license. Morrow was taxed with the cost of having no license but asked for a jury trial on the charge that he was operating a disorderly place. Gardner was taxed with the costs and ordered to sell out his interest by March 5 and Dover was fined $50. Evidence against these two places was gathered by Sheriff J. Ray mond Cline and his deputies. SWEDISH Starts On Pafe One are even more horrified at the pros pect of gas warfare. This fear was intensified at the end of January when local party leaders distribut ed instructions on how to combat gas. Under the influence of propagan da built around the story of Fred erick the Great, the Germans are clinging to the hope even now of a miracle. Four months ago I visited the scene of the attempt on Hitler’s life. His headquarters at the end of July were located just east of Rastenburg in East Prussia. Even though the headquarters had been moved we were not allowed to see too much. Hitler’s barracks and headquarters had been mostly de stroyed. Over the entire area a clever camouflage made it look like a park from the air. Amid the rubbish in the streets of Berlin just before I left I found three Nasi party badges. If I had taken the trouble I probably could have found more. Perhaps this should not be taken as a certain sign of flight from the party but badges also were found in the street a couple of years ago when flight from the party was stopped by stringent Nazi mea sures. It is a fact, however, that the party and party spirit now are a very insignificant feature of Ber lin’s daily life—except as far as terror of death sentences and Ges tapo raids are concerned, On the whole the party has been obliged to take a back seat tc "volksgemeinschaft” (community feeling). This is primarly due to the fact that the party has such great problems to solve that it has not had time to beat its usual propa 1 ganda drums. For years the party has taker over virtually all public function! and responsiblliites. Now it is be yond its depth and unequal to th« major tasks, such as caring foi millions of refugees and increasing numbers of wounded. What th( Nazi party has done toward mas tering these immense jobs does nol permit it to boast that it has done any better than a Democratic state could. ENEMY 8tarts On Page One proceeded from room to room. Behind the second wave of dough boys came sappers removing mine! from the approaches, and behinc them were bulldozers clearing the rubble for tanks. American artillery laid down i rolling barrage inside the wallec city ahead of the Doughboys. The Yanks could have pul verized the Intramuroe and ev eryone inside with aerial bombs long before, but they wanted to spare civilian lives. Nonethe less many non-combatans were injured, perhaps killed, in the intense but necessary artillery barrage. An hour after the troops enter ed, the first of the civilians be gan to trickle out. In a half hour about 30 civilians were huddled near the wall of Letran univer sity. rLAUE ur niHULK George Thomas Folster of NBC, terming the Intramuros “a wreck ed place of murder,” reported find ing a large pile of dead Filippinos hands tied behind their backs The Japanese, he said, had tried to burn the bodies but failed. "More mass murder of civilians,’ he said. Invasion Thursday of Little Blri island, at the eastern end of San Bernardino strait, came just a day after other Yanks landed on Capul island, at the western end. Only light oppo sition was encountered on both. MacArthur said the latest seiz. ure completed American control ol the Straits through which suppliej may flow to Manila from thi United States.

TANK BATTLE Starts On Page one dent Eddy Gilmore said in a Mos cow dispatch that both cities "seemed in immediate danger of be ing cut off from communications.” HEAVY FIGHTING ^Reported heavy fighting Jo East Prussia, the Germans said a Soviet attack failed north of Mehlsack and Zinten, both south of encircled Koenigsberg. Clearing their supply lines along the direct-line route to Berlin, Rus sian troops wiped out the last Ger man resistance in long-encircled Poznan and Arnswalde. The capture of Poznan shortened by some 50 miles the first White Russian army's communications with the rear. Simultaneously, the Russians stepped up pressure on besieged Breslau in an effort to reduce that German Silesian strong hold and free additional Soviet units for Marshal Ivan 8. Konev’s flanking drive on Ber lin from the southeast. Poznan (Posen), Nazi stronghold in Western Poland which was by passed by Marshal G. K. Zhukov’s First White Russian army in its drive to the Oder river, fell yes terday after a month's aiege. The Germans lost 48,000 killed or cap tured. ARNSWALDE FALLS Farther north, the German gar rison in Arnswalde, a smaller but formidable Nazi fortress town by passed by other Zhukov units driv ing , through Pomerania toward Stettin, was liquidated. Ams walde is a seven-way road junc tion 38 miles southeast of Stettin, Baltic port for Berlin. It had been encircled since Feb. 11. Moscow announced that a total of 23,000 Germans, including the commander and his staff, were captured at Poznan and 25,000 were killed. The booty also included hundreds of planes, guns and freight cars. In capturing the city, Soviet tank and infantry teams blasted their way through six huge under ground fortresses. An official Russian war bulletin said Soviet units, after fierce fight ing broke through the southern defenses of Breslau, captured the radio station and a motor car works and cleared the Nazis from the southern park area.

Conditions on the beaches are generally improving and unload ing of cargo Is proceeding. At the island's south tip, aftej scaling Mt. Suribachi to secure their rear, the Marines systemati cally dug out Japanese from pill boxes and blockhouses even inside the crater of the volcano. Mpre than 700 already have been killed Supplies on the beaches grew from a trickle to a flood as the advance toward the island's cen ter overran Nipponese gun posi tions which had been shelling the debris-littered shore. The fight is far from over. A communique covering action up to 6 p.m. last night said “in all sectors the enemy is re sisting our advance from con crete pillboxes, entrenchments and caves.” The Nipponese are opposing the three Marine divisions with such modern weapons as 1,000-pound rocket mortars, presumably fired fr >m launching platforms. They are using deep pillboxes wj luiiiitu, wen \ trill i in the building and can only be knocked out by a direct shell hit, flamethrowers or a well-placed hand grenade. But the overall significance ol this morning's communique, despite the fact it records limited ad vances, is its strong suggestion the crises is past. Across a beachhead which naval authorities have admitted actually appeared domed in the early stage: engineers have built roads undei fire which are getting ashore thi necessary equipment for bont I crushing blows. The outstanding development !r the morning communique was stat ed thus: "The unloading of supplies ii continuing and their rate of move ment across the beaches is consid erably improved in spite of the sur, created by recent southeasterly weather.

"I shall be happy—as far as thi: is possible for anybody—to bea: all that others have to bear "The only thing I should not b< able to bear would be the weak ness of my nation." Hitler concluded: "I predict th< final victory of the German race.’ “The Ufe which is left to us should serve only one task, namely to make up for alt the wrongs done by the interna tional Jewish criminals and their henchmen to our na tion," the statement said. “It must be our unshakable wit to think of Germany alone until our last breath. , Man after man woman after woman, in towns anc in the country we shall live only for the task to liberate our nation from this distress, to reconstrucl Germany's culture.” CAPT.

Doughboys of the First and Ninth armies were driving well beyond the Unnich-Juelich-Dueren road by nightfall yesterday. [. Their push, presumably hatched at Yalta to coincide with huge Russian operations, seized all ot Juelich except the ancient, wide moated citadel there, and envelop ed Baal, Korrenzig, Broich and Hambach in brisk street fighting. Six German divisions spread along the Roer front were spread too thin to halt the drive, butthev were backed up by still powerful German forces. Some of these, however, had been sucked out ot position by other attacks — three * panzer divisions were rushed over a week ago into the defense against the Canadian army’s push around the Kleve flank of the Siegfried line. NINTH ARMY The Ninth army, pouring thou sands of men over the Roer by nightfall, also captured Selgersdorf south of Julich, Broich and Altcr. burg Just north of Julich, and Olimbach, Genevich, Boslar, and Rurich. Kempen and Oberbruch were taken. North of Dueren Doughboys neared higher ground above the rivef slope, capturing Daubenrath. Selhausen and Neiderzier.
