ART MUSEUM AT UNC PROBABLE Gardner Confident Ack lond Estate To Benefit N. C. Institution WASHINGTON, March 27—{IP)— A SI .400,000 art museum today ap peared certain for some southern university or college campus, and former Governor O. Max Gardner of North Carolina said he was confident it would be located at his state university. Yesterday the United States court of appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that the large estate of the late William Hayes j Ackland should be used ior a mu seum on a southern campus. The decision of the court, an j aide to Gardner said, “made it en- j tirely clear that the intended pur- j pose and effect of its prior deci- I sion was to eliminate heirs en- i tirely from any further consider ation.” t CHARITABLE The court had held that a gen eral charitable purpose was mani fested in the Ackland will and that to "divert, his estate to his rela tives would violate the first ex-, pressed and most postively stated | intention of his will,” the aide • said. The same court previously ruled | that the refusal of Duke univer- . slty to permit its campus to be J used as a site for the proposed museum did not nullify the edu cational purpose of the will, the aide said. The trustees under Ackland’s will are now to investigate and report to the court recommenda tions whether the museum should be located at the University of North Carolina. Rollins College, Winter Park, Fla., or at some oth er southern institution. Gardner was confident that the trustees would find North Caro lina as the most acceptable.

"HOLE-UP” DEFENSE The Nazi chief is said to have completed preparations to hole-up in the fortified salt-mines and other defenses of the Berchtesga den area. There, with picked Nazi elite troops which he already is ceiling in. he will make a stand ! last the Allies until the pre cd chaos provides soil in which m can again be planted. Thus t. ny and Hitlerism will come a heir own again. t\ ell, of course, we most re rc ’ rize at once that there will ie grave disorganization in Lurcpe. As a matter of fact there's chaos now, for Hitler has disrupted virtually the whole continent. Already there has been civil strife—and there will be more, due to social and political problems. However, the Allies have safe guards to keep the situation from getting out of hand. Already they’ve laid their plans not only for main tenance of order but for regenera tion of the stricken nations. Hit ler should remember (and prob ably does) that when the war ends the Allies will have in Europe millions of troops. This means there will be ample armed strength to deal with any untoward events. There can be no general upheaval. SPLIT OUT Hitler’s idea of a split among the Big Three is out. If there’s one thing America, Russia and Bri tain have firmly fixed in their minds it is that so long as we stand together there will be peace, and if we quarrel there will be another world war. We will have our differences of opinion — but we aren’t going to fight. One of Europe's gravest dangers j lies in the scarcity of food j throughout much of the contin ent, for hunger is one of the great- '• est breeders of unrest. Hitler well j recognizes this, for he is said to ■ have issued orders to his picked j troops to lay waste to the country as they retreat in the north to wards the Alpine fortress. He has adopted this inhuman scheme to try to cause revolt against the Al lies by starvation of his own peo ple. BRUTAL SCHEME Even this brutal scheme has been anticipated by the Big Three, for plans have been made to feed the defeated Germans. Germany—guil ty as she is—won’t be allowed to starve, though it may be that lack of food now will cause deteriora tion of civilian morale and thus hasten the Reich’s collapse. How i far Hitler will succeed in his scorched earth program is open to question. The speed with which the Allies are advancing may upset this evil plot. In any event, the Reich will be CLOTHING GROUP MEETS TONIGHT Mrs. R. H. Rogers, chairman of the local drive for collection of clothing for overseas relief has I cajled a meeting of her committee for tonight at 8:30 o’clock at Cen j tral Methodist church. The nation-wide round-up dur ing April gives all women the chance to make life-savers of the out grown, out-of-date and spare gar ments and shoes that turn up while attics and closets and bureau drawers are being put in order, Mrs. Rogers said. April 8-14 is designated as "Clean Out Your Clothes Closet Week.” In Europe alone, there are 30, 000,000 boys and girls who have .tifully few clothes. Countless numbers have nothing to wear to school or for outdoor play. They must stay in bed to keep warm. PATTON Starts On Page One the various types of equipment. “With reference to the tank, eith er Mark V (light) or Mark IV (medium), it has been stated at home that these tanks are not com parable with the German Mark VT, the so-called Panther and Tiger type tanks. This statement is whol ly incorrect for several reasons. "Since August 1, 1944. when the' 3rd army became operational, our total tank casualties have amount ed to 1.136 tanks. During the same | period we have accounted for 3,- j 287 German tanks, of which 808 j were of the Tiger or Panther va riety, and 851 on our side were Mark IV. "These figures of themselves re fute any inferiority of our tanks, but let me add that the 3rd army has always attacked, and therefore better than 70 per cent of our tank casualties have occurred from dug in anti-tank guns and not enemy tanks, whereas a majority of the enemy tanks put out have been put out by our tanks. MOBILITY "It is patent that if a Tiger tank with an enormous thickness of ar mor were put at one end of a vil lage street and engaged in a fire fight with a Mark IV tank at the other end, the Mark IV tank would not last. However, the great mobil ity of the Mark TV tank usually en ables it to circumvent the slow and unwieldly Tigers and not to engage in a slugging match but to attack them from the rear. "With the advent of the heavy, cumbersome Tiger tank, the Ger man, in my opinion, lost much of his ability in armored combat. These tanks are so heavy and their road life is so short that the German uses them as guns and not as tanks —that is, he uses them on the de fense against our armor, whereas we invariably try and generally succeed in using our armor on the offense against his infantry which is the proper use of a.mor. "Had the armored divisions which accompanied the 3rd army across France been equipped with Tiger tanks, the road losses would have been 100 per cent by the time we reached the Moselle river. As it was, the road losses on our long-lived tanks were negligible. TRANSPORTATION in me current operation, uau the 4th armored division been equipped with Tiger and Panther tanks and been required to make the move from Saarguemlnes to Arlon, then through to Bastogne, from Bastogne to the Rhine, and now to Mainz—it would have been necessary to re-armor it twice; and furthermore, it would have had serious if not insurmountable dif ficulty in crossing rivers. "Finally, we must remember that all our tanks have to be transport ed on steamers and the difference between 40 tons and 70 tons is very marked. A 70 ton tank could never have been brought ashore in land ing boats as many of our medium tanks were. Nor could they have marched from the Cotentin penin sula to the Rhine as practically all of our tanks have been required to do. "In mechanical endurance and ease of maintenance, our tanks are Infinitely superior to any tank in the theatre of war. The outstand ing advantage which our tanks possess over the German tank is the mechanical traverse and stabi lizer, through the use of which we get most of our kills.” Termination Claims Courses To Be Given CHARLOTTE, March 27. —UP)— Instructions on how to file con tract termination claims will be given an estimated 1,000 North Carolina war contractos at a series of meetings beginning April 6 in Asheville. fed, and so will the rest of Europe. It will be a monumental task, and it’s stated authoritatively by of ficials in Washington that the United States may be faced with the main burden of feeding most of occupied Germany. At the same time rehabilitation of the shat tered countries will be undertaken with the aid of the United Nations. THE RECORD SHOP NEWEST SELECTIONS JUST RECEIVED. Laura A Stranger In Town Sentimental Journey Don't Love Me PHONE 788 - SHELBY, N. MURDER TRUE BILLS RETURNED Grand Jury Completes Ex amination Of Indict ments Three true bills for murder end accessory to murder were return ed yesterday afternoon and this morning by the Cleveland county grand jury which has completed its examinaltion of indictments and is now engaged in the in* spection of county Institutions. It will make a final report some time this week to Judge William H. Bobbitt, presiding over Superior court. James T. Irvin is foreman. A true bill, charging Howard Hines, a negro, with the murder of his wife and a bill charging Maxie Wilson with accessory to that murder were returned yester day afternoon and both will be tried at this term of court. Bill was also returned this morning charging Samuel Vinson, a negro, with the murder of his step-fath er, Clifford Grimes. DOVER TRIAL Trial of the case of Ben Dover, charged with receiving stolen tires was started just before noon to day and was expected to take most of the afternoon for comple tion. Judge Bobbitt sustained a motion of the state in which it sought to consolidate two separate charges for trial. The defendant ts charged with receiving stolen tires on December 12 and again on December 29. His attorney re sisted the consolidation but was overruled. Noah Patterson, jr„ and Hilliard Patterson, both negroes, were found not guilty of forcible trespass by a jury which returned its verdict at 11:30 o'clock this morning af ter a trial which was started yes terday afternoon. The defendants were indicted for going into the Jeffers place, also a negro home, breaking up furniture and molest ing the Jeffers children who were there. The defendants contended they were invited to the home and were Just playing around when a mirror fell from the wall and was broken. Judge Bobbitt commend ed the jury for the verdict, say ing that he thought it was a Just finding. Lucille McCraw was sentenced to six months in the woman’s di vision of the state penitentiary on a charge of immoral conduct. DEATH Start* On Pate One From all over the world messages of condolence poured in to the lit tle Welsh village of Ty Newydd Llanystumdwy, where Lloyd George died quietly in his sleep at 8:55 last night after an illness of several months. Villagers said that the man who rose from poverty to become one of England's greatest historical figures died as he had desired—in his picturesque 400-year-old farm house near the Dwyfor river. It was the name of this stream from which Lloyd George took his title—the Earl of Dwyfor—when he was ele vated to the peerage by King George VI last New Year’s Day. The ex-prime minister, who never had exercised his right to sit in the House of Lords, returned to the village of his birth last Sep tember. He was taken ill with in fluenza in January and never had fully recovered. Lioyd George died without know ing that the Allied armies had cro-.ed the Rhine and that victory for Britain and her Allies was at last clearly in sight. Because of his weakened condition news of the war had been kept from him in the la.t days. At his bedside when he died was his second wife, the former Miss Prances Stevenson, his secretary for 30 years, whom he married in 1888 when he was an unknown solicitor, died in 1941. His heir, Maj. Richard Lloyd George, Viscount Gwynedd, is ill in a North Wales sanatorium. In accordande with his own wishes, the former prime mini ster will be buried by the side of the Dwyfor river, in a small wood overlooking the stream and his old sshool. The spot was one of his favorite play grounds as a boy. Lloyd George, who had held a seat for 54 years in the house of Com mons, had no place in the govern ment during the present war. He had raised his voice, however, against the policy of appeasement. HISTORIC COMMENT On March 13, 1940, after the first Flnnlsh-Russian war, when Com mons was debating Britain's failure to give large scale aid to the Finns, Lloyd George delivered a historic comment: ”... It is the old trouble—too late. Too late for Czechoslovakia, too late for Poland. Certainly too b.te for Finland. It is always too late or too little, or both. That is the road to disaster.” Lloyd George began his career as a country lawyer. A political career opened in 1890 when he was elected liberal member of parlia ment for Carnarvon—a seat he held unt‘1 his elevation to the peerage. Hj served as chancellor of the exchequer from 1908 to 1915, when he was named minister of muni tions. He was named prime minister succeeding Herbert A. Squith on Dec. 6, 1916, and rallied the nation to a victorious prosecution of the war, serving as prime minister until 1922, when he was forced out after stormy post-war political strife.

Early short covering and rein statement of commitments appar ently was based on the belief the j list had been oversold and may1 have discounted reconversion pro blems and Washington anti-specu lation moves. Many Wall streets still were skeptical, however, and these held aloof to await war de velopments. Victory rumors again flooded boardrooms and accentuat ed investment caution.

JAPANESE Starts On Page One erations of the enemy forces there is certain to be another opera tion. xxx The enemy strives to pin down our air force power of activity prior to the actual launch ing of landing operations.” 400 MILES AWAY „ Okinawa is less than 400 miles from the Japanese home islands— an easy two hours’ bomber trip or a day’s steaming by warship. Formosa is being neutralized daily by Philippines-based planes of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's com mand. Today the enemy radio, without confirmation, extended the paralyzing naval and air sweep of the Allies 260 miles southwest of Formosa, saying 10 cruisers shell ed the tiny island of Patras, mid way between the Philippines and Hong Kong. Maj. Gen. Curtis E. LeMay’s B-29s, departing from their low level tactics which devastated vital Industrial sectors of Tokyo, Osa ka, Nagoya and Kobe on Honshu island, delivered a high altitude attack shortly before noon today on Kyushu. The targets extended to the west coast of Kyushu where the sky giants hit a big aircraft assembly plant at Omura—thus for the first time blasting a point previously hit from the east by B-29s of the China-India theater. A EISENHOWER Starts On Face One retreats in some sectors and even in the enemy’s radio cries. The Berlin radio told cut off troops and officials to “report immediately to their respective authorities and take up again duties in defense of the fatherland.” The Germans appeared greatly concerned about the Third army push beyond Frankfurt on the Main, Germany’s ninth largest city, which was being mopped up. And to the north, American and British advances against collaps ing German resistance in the Ruhr and in Westphalia promised an imminent breakthrough of perhaps even more decisive character. Gen. Eisenhower’s massed arm ies, seven of them fighting beyond the Rhine, were in sight of ulti mate victory. The Seventh army was the latest to cross the Rhine. Weilburg, a Lann river town, is 11 miles northeast of Limburg which was reached yesterday and captured today. 5 DIVISIONS Lt. Gen. Courtney H. Hodges, employing a minimum of five ar mored divisions east of the origi nal Rhine bridgehead, sent motor ized infantry close behind the tanks and self-propelled guns. Altenkircken, a secondary traf fic center 16 miles north of Cob lenz, was captured overnight. Tire First army caged 4.782 Germans and was estimated to have frAn 8.000 to 10,000 more streaming to1 the rear without guards along | roads from Field Marshal Kessel- j ring’s collapsing armies. How near the Allies in the west | and the massed Russians on the east were from final victory, no one could say. But the extent to which the reeling Wehrmacht would be able j to scratch together reserves and' hurl them into the path of tire onrushes should foretell the out come within a few- days. j Gen. Eisenhower himself said he did not expect his armies to be stopped short of Berlin. Lacking a mobile reserve to rush up from the hollow heart of the Reich, Ger many had to chances of any pro longed resistance: 1. She might shift troops front the Russian front and invite dis aster there. 2. She might rely on armed civ ilians to fight town by town to: block the Allies. White flags which pilots saw hastily flung out over roadside towns through which American armor was driving, and over road-jamming columns of re fugees fleeing east did not seem to presage a citizen army stand. Everywhere on the American First army front except the left flank along the Sieg river, Ger-! man resistance split at the seams. The First division beat down a company counterattack at Eitorf, ten miles east of Siegburg, and advanced four miles. The tank column that reached Weilburg on the first army's right flank had smashed 33 miles for ward in a single day. This was the deepest First army penetration and it placed the First army with in 290 miles of Russian lines southeast of Berlin. Patton's Third army was but 250 miles from the Russians at last reports nearly a day ago. REDS Starts On Page One Third Ukrainian army seized more than 100 towns and villages, ad vancing up to nine miles on a 63 mile front across northwest Hun gary. In the center his troops cap tured Papa, key l-way road and rail center 25 miles southwest of j Gyor. in a four-mile advance that cut the railroad and highway link ing Gyor with Szombathely near the Austrian-Hungarian border. Fifteen miles south of Papa oth- , er Third Ukrainian army spear heads seized the communications center of Devecser. Front dispatches said the Red Army tanks were cutting behind the German lines, blasting communi-: cations and scattering the Nazi de-! fenders. In seeking to block the main push upon Vienna the Germans massed along the Matcal river, Vienna's first defense line. The advance elements of Tolbukhin's forces were only six miles from the river, and the Red army air force was taking advantage of clear weather to pound the Germans on the river line. There were no new developments from the northern end of Tolbuk hin’s front, where the Germans were last reported resisting strong ly the advance of Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovsky’s Second Ukrainian army pressing toward Komarom and Gyor along the Danube’s south bank. COFC Starts On Page One provided for the project, mean while.

EXPIRES SATl'RDAY Government seizure of the na tion's soft coal mines appeared to- : day to hinge largely on the an swer miners and operators give to j ■Secretry Ickes' call for a contract extension. The present working agreement expires Saturday night. Ickes. acting as solid fuels ad-1 ministrator, requested both miners; an operators to continue at least until May 1 under terms of the present agreement, which he help ed negotiate 18 months ago. He proposed that any wage ad justments be retroactive. The negotiating committees which have been meeting almost daily since March 1 to discuss John: L. Lewis' 18th contract demands-' with little, if any, progress—will | determine today whether they can reply to Ickes' request affirma tively. and jointly. Otherwise they will draft separate responses stat ing their divergent opinions. Secretary of Labor Perkins, in touch informally with both sides the past week or more, said she is ready to lend her aid. of that of the conciliation service, to the wage conferees in an effort to reach an agreement on the extension. RETROACTIVE Lewis is known to demand that j any wage adjustments be retroac tive as a condition to extending the contract. The operators seek some j assurance of price relief to take up ; the financial load they say re- j troactive increases would force them to bear. This is something they will have to work out, Miss Perkins said, adding; ‘The answer must be to extend the contract.’’ The alternative would be spora dic work stoppages over the ap proaching Easter holidays (which in normal times would go unheed ed ( and government seizure. Tomorrow the 400,000 soft coal miners ballot On whether to strike. Lewis will not necessarily call a strike, however. The vote is a for mality required under the Smith Connally war labor disputes act— enacted in 1943 at the height of congressional reaction to the coal strikes of that year—because the mine leader said a dispute existed 30 days ago INVASION Starts On Pate One ators unloaded their bombs on the Takeo industrial area on the south west coast.

In the north, the 25th and 32nd divisions were encountering stiff resistance from entrenchments as they converged on the Important Balete Pass, In the Caraballo Mountains. They had to root the enemy from one tunnel after an other. One force had to build 25 miles of mountain road to outflank enemy strong points.
