TOUGH FIGHTING ON BRIDGEHEAD Bottle Is Virtually Man To-Man Combat Over Rough Terrain By DON WHITEHEAD WITH U. S. FIRST ARMY EAST OF THE RHINE. March 19. —<AP— The battle of the bridgehead has developed virtually into man for man combat. The enemy has thrown In reinforcements to whit tle down the initial superiority in numbers gained ' y the First Army in its surprise crossing of the Rhine. Military textbooks say attacking forces should enjoy a three to one superiority over enemy defenders but Lt. Gen. Courtney Hodges’ men slugging their way forward through rough terrain have no such advan tage in manpower. "We are having the hardest and slowest going since the fighting through the hedgerows in Norman dy,” an officer of the Ninth In fantry division said today. “When a doughboy advances 500 yards on the map it means he actually fought his way forward 1.500 yards up and down these hills.” ELBOW ROOM After the Rhine crossing the bridgehead forces had to fight for elbow room In Which to maneuver. They just' now are reaching that stage, with the bridgehead eight miles in depth. The tough core of German resis tance has been in the east where the enemy concentrated tanks and self-propelled weapons to prevent the Americans from breaking out toward Berlin. Progress was slow on the bridge head during the last 24 hours. On the north troops of the 78th in fantry division reached the out skirts of Oberdollendorf. opposite the resort town of Bad Godesberg, one of Hitler's favorite watering places. The Germans tried to stop the northward thrust aimed at Ninnen burg by throwing in two small counterattacks of tank supported infantry but they were beaten back. To the east the Yanks cleared out the towns of Windhagen and Hohn and reached high ground overlook ing Birken on the eastern side of the CotegncfFrankfurt auto high way. On the southern end of the bridgehead troops advanced 1.000 yards. WEBB Start* On Page One the more liquor they seem to be a^le to drink. Or that is the way It appears,” he said.

He also called attention to the proposal in South Carolina for the erection of a $200,000 hospital for inebriates as pointing to the degradation to which alcoholism leads. "It is like the state furnishing a burial ground for the dead whom it has licensed to be killed,” he declared.

PHONE 788 _ JAPS’ BLACKOUT OF EDUCATION IS MODIFIED Br the Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO, March 19— (JP) I —Japan's blackout of education for all school children beyond the first grade was modified to a brownout today. A Sunday broadcast said that beginning April 1 all Japanese stu dents from tiny second grades to university students would be mob ' ilized for the Nipponese war ma ! chine. ff I Modifying that statement in a 1 broadcast intercepted by the fed i eral communications commission today, radio Tokyo said that the i “cessation of studies is not to be I carried out unconditionally” and , “students will stop studying in I classrooms only when they are call i ed out by the mobilization laws.” These mobilization laws and | their enforcement are now being prepared by Premier Kuniaki Koiso's cabinet. Education Minister Count Hideo Kodama informed the lower house of the diet. ONE OF Starfts On Page On* Hitler not only knows the war is lost, bat since last July 24 has been aware that he is opposed by what my inform ant called the “elite of Post Bismarckian Germany” — the nobility, military caste, big industrialists, the bankers and inteilegentsia among labor. This weighs on him even more heavily than the matter of de feat, since he ascribes defeat not to himself or his regime but to what he considers dis loyalty among these “better” class Germans. His hatred for them knows no bounds. At frequent intervals be has shown a repulsive, revolting film of the hangings of Field Mar shal Erwin von Witzieben, Ulrich i von Hassel and the others con demned as conspirators. He then snaps out of his fits of desponden cy, deriving a vicarious, sadistic satisfaction from seeing this sorry evidence of his triumph over his adversaries at home. HANGINGS GRUESOME The technique cf the hangings was gruesomely novel from two re spects. The victims were hanged naked in violation, of all tradition. A wire instead of a rope was used and the condemned were hoisted slowly. Their sufferings lasted at least five to eight minutes, during which they died profusely. Hitler in his consuming hatred for his domestic enemies, issued a sweeping order for the arrest and trial in the star chamber people’s court of “all who by virtue of their position or family connec I tions might conceivably have been j implicated in the attempt on his ' life or in contact with Its plot I ters.” ♦ Viv/miivK If owlln 'Dai < mann, successor to Rudolf Hess In i the Nazi party hierarchy. Hitler j ordered the arrest of all persons of | any consequence who, in the past’ had not shown themselves “poli tically unqualifiedly trustworthy.” This included persons who, though members of the Nazi party, were not considered 100 percent "safe.” REIGN OF TERROR The implication in the death plot of Count Hellsdorf, Berlin's chief of police, had shown how disaf fection pervaded the Nazi ranks. “A reign of terror began within Germany which the outside world may never comprehend,” my in formant said. “Friends whom we knew to be politically harmless dis appeared overnight We never saw them again. Only 35 miles from here, up in Cologne, it was no un common sight to see eight or 12 bodies swing from a gallows. There they were left 24 hours exposed to public view as an example.” My informant estimated that from 1,200 to 1,500 persons were immediate victims of the plot’s aftermath—convicted of complic ity by the people’s court. Beyond them, he added, many thousands of Germany’s "better people” were liquidated, many noble families wiped out. Even with Hitler still alive, the coup might have succeeded if the plotters had not made certain mis takes, my informant said. In outlining these errors, he said he was giving a considered opinion of not only himself but such of his fellow conspirators as are still alive. Gross Fire The Shelby fire department ex tinguished a grass fire on Cline street, Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. No damage was done. Part of the foundation of the Vecchlo bridge at Florence has ex isted since the Roman Empire. a hotel bathtub there last Feb. 17. Gerald B.

S. First Army operations east of the Rhine river. That was the view expressed by U. S. Army officials, who declared that loss of the structure, even temporarily, would not affect the Tirst Army’s ability to hold its bulging bridgehead across the water barrier. (The American broadcasting sta tion in E" ope, in a dispatch rec orded by CBS, said the bridge has been “almost completely repaired.” There was no confirmation from Allied headquarters.) The collapse was blamed on a weakened main supporting girder that had been damaged by an ene my demolition charge before the Americans captured the 1,200 foot railroad span in March 7. ENGINEERS ON SPAN About 200 army engineers work ing on the bridge were plunged into the Rhine 70 feet below when the central span gave away with a rumble and shudder. Many were rescued. There was no official tally of the dead and injured. Censorship permitted disclosure of the collapse yesterday—at about the same time the German high command announced that four German officers had been executed for cowardice or negligence in per mitting the bridge to be seized in tact. Failure to replace or repair the damaged girder in time was the real reason for loss of the bridge, but until a full investigation al ready under way is completed there was some reluctance to place any responsibility. HUNDREDS Starts On Pace One reported that Shikoku island, immediately northeast of Kyu i shn, and southern Honshu also were bombed. [ Vice A dm. Marc A. Mitscher, . commander of the world’s great l est carrier force which has blasted I the Pacific enemy’s planes, ships : and ground installations from Ra : haul to Tokyo itself, presumably commanded the seaborne task [ force. CARRIER RAIDS The carrier raids, requiring the i fleet to remain overnight within ' 200 or 250 miles of the Japanese homeland, constituted the third ; challenge in five weeks to the im , perial fleet to come out is further proof of the thoroughness of the defeats administered the emper or's fleet in the June and October battles of the Philippines. Over-all command of the car rier operation presumably is vest ed in A dm. Raymond A. Spruance, who commanded the Fifth fleet in the June battle of the Philippines. This was the first carrier strike of the war on Kyushu, site of the huge Yawata steel works and oth er vital plants, and the third on the Japanese homeland in little more than a month. Totally without confirmation, Tokyo claimed pilots of the Japa | nese Kamikaze (suicide) special I attack corps sank five of Mitsch er’s ships—one battleship, one car rier, one cruiser or carrier and two destroyers—and damaged nine oth ers. The enemy said seven of the damaged ships were carriers; two unidentified. 21st bomber headquarters re ported that reconnaissance photo graphs disclosed far greater dam age inflicted on Osaka last Wed nesday and on Kobe Saturday by other 300-plane, 2,000-plus ton bombings than earlier announced. BOMBS Starts On Face One lean 25th and 33rd divisions were only three miles from a junction at Santa Fe on the Cagayan valley road. Sixth and 43rd division Ameri cans moved through the Sierra Madre mountains, east of Manila, into secondary defenses of the Japanese Shlmbu line in the upper Bosodoso river valley. There, for the first time in the Lisn campaign, they en countered Japanese cavalry. The mounted enemy fled after a skirmish. Troops of the 43rd division cap tured three Japanese rocket em placements, with rocket supplies, on a mountain side. They ran into In tense rifle and machlnegun fire from caves among the rocky crags. In southern Luzon, elements of Brig. Gen. Hanford MacNider’s 156th regimental combat team crossed Batangas Bay to land at Talaga and then advanced to Ma bini. They were moving to secure the Calumpan Peninsula. BASILAN OCCUPIED Units of Lt. Gen. Robert Eichel berger’s Eighth army occupied Ba silan Island, the 24th of the Philip pines invaded by the Yani— since their landing on Leyte last October. Basilan is only a dozen miles from the Zamboanga peninsula of Mindanao, where 41st division doughboys further reduced Japan ese positions and easily repulsed a counterattack. The Basilan invasion was an nounced by Gen. MacArthur in his Sunday communique, which also reported Japanese casual ties in the five months of the Philippines campaign totaled i M2, OM. Of this total, 146,000 were killed 1 or captured on Luzon Island since : it was invaded by MacArthur’s ■ forces Jan. 9. The communique re JL Volunteer Italians Fight With Allies ROME, March 19.—(/P)—Volun teer Italian troops fighting beside the allies held out today in a cap tured German strongpoint between Cuffiano and Riolo de Bagni, five miles south of the Bologna-Rimini road hub of Imola, while action along the rest of the Italian front was confined to patrolling. The Italians have been under heavy Nazi bombardment since taking the position two days ago in a daring raid. Eighth army artillery harassed the German probing parties along the Senio river both, above and below Cuffiano. Meanwhile, farther west, fifth army patrols were encountering heavy Nazi mortar and machine gun fire whenever they approach ed the Nazi lines in the sector southwest of Bologna. 27TH STRAIGHT Starts On Page One fending a Russian-held airfield east of the Oder river from Nazi dive bombers. * HAIL OF FLAK The great American armada was met by a hail of flak over Berlin and the Nazis, in a desperate ef- ' fort to ward off the heavy bomb ers, sent jet planes swirling into their formations. American losses were not disclos ed, but thirteen of the Nazi inter ceptors, including several of the jet planes, W'ere knocked out of the skies, a U. S. Strategic Air Force communique announced. In southwest Germany, U. S. Tactical Air command planes smashed at Germany's Palatinate with record quantities of ammu nition in support of the fast-mov ing troops of the U. S. Third army. The greatest number of the American heavy bombers in the Berlin raid smashed at the Schleis ischer railway center and north station freight yards in the gutted Nazi metropolis. Targets lor tne rest of ure American armada include the Rheinmetal Borsig plant at Tegel, six miles northwest of the city, and a tank factory at Henningsdorf, 11 miles north west. Targets last night included rail yards at Kassel and Nuernberg. The air ministry reported that 12 bombers and one fighter missing from eight daylight and night op erations. TYPHOONS, SPITFIRES Typhoons and Spitfires of the British Second Tactical Air Force yesterday afternoon swooped on the headquarters of three German generals in Holland, northeast of Arnhem. Pilots reported all three Nazi nerve centers went up in smoke. The targets were Villas used as headquarters by Col. Gen. Joh annes Blaskowitz, commander of the Nazi northern army group, Gen. Friedrich Christiansen, com mander in The Netherlands, and Col. Gen. Kurt Student, German paratroop commander. The effectiveness of the Amer ican attack on Berlin yesterday was summed up by Capt. Harrison Cordoff, of Mechanicsville, N. Y., one of the escorting fighter pilots. CUT A PATH “The bombers mewed a path right down the center of Berlin and I could see fires and explosions raging all over the place,’’ he said. American Mustangs and Light nings of the U. S. 15th Air Force based in Italy had their most suc cessful day of strafing operations this year. They destroyed 54 loco motives in raids over Austria, Hun gary and Yugoslavia. The bomb-carrying Lightnings destroyed one span and damaged six others of the bridge across the Drava river at Varazoin, Yugo slavia. The Mustangs shot down two Heinkel bombers. Railyards in the Vienna area were hit, as well. KONEV’S Starts On Par* One of Braunsberg and Heiligenbeil, and other Soviet troops punched ahead in southern Slovagia in the low Tatras mountains west of Zvolen. It appeared that German offen sive power in Western Hungary had collapsed completely following the loss of some 600 tanks and 20,000 men. The Russians again seized the initiative northeast of Lake Palaton. Reduction of the German garri son at Kolberg was in line with the pattern of recent Russian strategy—mopping up the “Kes sels,” a German word applied to stubbornly resisting pockets of troops. ALONG BALTIC Along the Baltic several "Kes ie Is” still remain, including Danzig »nd Gdynia on the south and west shores of Danzig Bay and the coastal towns of«*Braunsberg ind Heiligbeil, further to the east. Besides these there is Koenigs oerg, East Prussian capital, which is still holding out against a swift ly-converging arc of Russian ar mor. The Third White Russian army narrowed the coastal strip tield by the Nazis to a length of 21 miles and nowhere extending ’arther than nine miles from the ;ea. Marshal Stalin announced the fall of Kolberg, Pomeranian sea jort with a pre-war population of 13,170, in an order of the day. Kol xrg is 63 miles northeast of Stet :ln.

Legislators have not been paid since last Tues day, the end of the constitutional 60 days for which they are paid $600. PLENTY OF MONEY This assembly, with a record breaking amount of money on its hands, salted away more than $50,000,000 in its early days to care for the general fund indebtedness. An anticipated remainder of $20, 000,000 was sought after by many factions, most of them concerned with the state’s hospital program, either mental, tubercular, or gen eral. Recommendations of the ad visory budget commission, totaling about $232,000,000 were generally followed. That figure included al locations from the general, agricul ture and highway funds. Today found the budget about $1,500,000 out of balance, but many j legislators felt that would be made j up in revenue greater than that! anticipated.

GOOD Starts On Page One and pushed into Wissembourg and the French corner town of Lauterbourg, a bare nine miles from Karlsruhe. Between them, Patton and Patch were using at least 27 divisions, hard hitting and heavily armored, of about 380,000 troops. ASSAULT ARMIES North of the two powerful as sault armies, the First Army fought slowly to expand its 15 by eight mile east Rhine bridgehead beyond the collapsed but repairable Duden dorff bridge at Remagen. Lt. Gen. Courtney H. Hodges’ warriors were within 17 miles of the Ruhr and hard upon the edge of flat tank country leading to that greatest of European industrial centers. The famous Fourth armored division captured Sprendlingen and moved closest to Mainz, and I.t. Gen. George S. Patton's Tenth armored division sprint ed within 19 miles northwest of Kaiserslautern, a key Ger man base of 61,000 in the Pa latinate. The Seventh army, moving more slowly but up to six miles a day through Siegfried line fortifica tions between besieged Saarbrue-1 cken and the Rhine, closed within I 26 miles of Kaiserslautern. DILLINGEN TAKEN The Third army captured Dil Ungen and its great steel mill and I crashed into St. Wendel, only 161 miles from Seventh army troops i fighting in the Zweibruecken area, i A meeting of the armies would trap oil Germans in the Saarbrue eken area and along the Saar riv er where virtually all the Saar steel mills are located. This trap, within the larger trap west of the Rhine, would virtually conqued the whole compart Saarland, leaving only the Palatinate to the Ger mans west of the Rhine. The Seventh army threw armor i into the battle for the first time 1 and sent its tanks crashing into the border cities of Wissembourg— historic gateway to the Palatinate —and Lauterbourg, nine miles southwest of Karlsruhe at the ex treme northeast corner fo Alsace. 8-MILE GAIN The 14th armored division’s i dashes of up to eight miles were i clearing swiftly the last bits of | eastern France. Altenstadt near Wissembourg also was entered. The entry of Lauterbourg was made in | a dash down the Rhine clearing 35 miles of its west bank north of ; Strasbourg. . . .. , Between Lauterbourg and Saar bruecken. the Seventh army enter Pd Germany at several new points. 1 The enemy clung stubbornly to I what remains of the Siegfried line ' in the Saarbruecken and Zwei i bruecken areas. The Seventh army also recap tured Bcttenbach. four miles west of the major Palatinate base of Pirmasens < 47.200. > TO INSPECT Starts On Page One j meeting this morning is sponsored bv the tire dealers and recappers and Is indorsed by the Office of Price Administration and local ra tioning officials. At the present time there are 500.000 wheeled vehicles in opera tion on the Western Front, which means 3 million tires in daily me. On December 5 General Elsenhow er stated that the tire shortage ! In his theatre has become so seri ous that it threatens to tie up a I large number of vehicles by eany February. | In the European theatre of op I erations alone the loss in tires for all purposes amounts to almost ! 5.000 a day, and these are tires which are damaged beyond any re ! pair. The tire replacement rate in i Europe is increasing because of the increasing severity of combat con-, ditions. General Somervell has disclosed that, on the basis of present al I locations, the Army will be 472,000 ! tires short of its requirements for the first quarter of 1945. Efforts to reduce this deficit have been made by stripping all spare tires | from military vehicles in thiscoun-' try, by recalling tire reserves from | the less active theatres overseas,! by using captured German tires and by pressing into service French and Belgian tire plants.
