A London newspaper man who flew in one of the lead ships said the force of the explosions made the planes shudder. “The ground spewed rocks, earth, bricks and even trees, uprooted and throws like straws into the sky,” he wrote. “All the target area was eoon covered with smoke. You could smell it inside the plane.” MANY GUNS The whole redoubt area bristled With antiaircraft guns, fliers said. There was increased air activity over all fronts yesterday and at least 17 Nasi planes were shot down. Lancasters bombed a submarine oil depot in Oslo Fjord last night and other British aircraft struck at targets in Germany. With Berlin encircled by the Red army, British Mosquito patrolled west of the capital to intercept any attempt by the Germans to escape or to obtain supplies by air. Four Nasi tran sports were among the aircraft shot down yesterday. Rail movement north of Bremen and Hamburg up the Danish peninsula was under continued attack and 16 trains were re ported wrecked or damaged.

Hyler of Baltimore, Md., was killed in action on Iwo Jima, while serving in tjje Medical corps along with the Fourth Marine division. H. A. 1-c Hyler entered the navy in December, 1942, and after com pleting his training at Bainbridge, Md., he w&s transferred to the Marines as a hospital apprentice and was sent to New River, N. C., for further training. He was sent to Camp Pendleton, California, and after being stationed there for a short time was sent to the South Pacific in January, 1944, with the Fourth Marine division. While serving in the Pacific area, his division participated in the capture of the Marshall is lands, Saipan, and the Tinian is lands. He was wounded and died on Iwo Jima and was buried in an Allied cemetery. Broughton Speaks On Postal Bill In a radio speech last night from station WPTF, Raleigh, for mer Gov. J. Melville Broughton paid high tribute to postal em ployes and the service they are rendering. He spoke in behalf of H. R. 3071 a Bill now pending be fore Congress, which provides $400 yearly increase in the salaries of all postal employes and time and half for overtime. He stressed the fact that postal employes have not received an increase in base pay since 1936, 20 years ago and that the cost of living had risen manifold since that time. Postal employes do not now receive time and half for overtime as is cus tomary in all other industries but actually receive less money per hour for overtime than for regu lar time. Go..

This last session of the day will receive the report of the steering committee on organisation of the conference. The program then calls for speeches by Foreign Minister T. V. Soong of China, Molotov and Eden. Afterward, at subsequent sessions, the chief delegates of other nations will speak in the alphabetical order of their countries. Stettinius kicked off the oratory for the delegates of the four spon soring powers—the United States, China, Russia and Britain—yester day, after an address by President Truman and speeches of welcome by Governor Earl Warren of Cali fornia and Mayor Roger D. Lapham of San Francisco. CHOICES Mr. Truman, speaking by radio from Washington, told the hushed thousands in the opera house: “We still have a choice between x x x the continuation of international chaos—or the establishment of a world organization for the enforce ment of peace.” He declared differences between nations would always remain and “if held within reasonable limits, such disagreements are actually wholesome.” “All progress,” the President add ed, “begins with differences of opi nion and moves onward as the dif ferences are adjusted through rea son and mutual understanding." Stettinius said “no one of the large nations, no one of the small nations, can afford anything lest than success in this endeavor. Each of them knows too well what the ! consequences of failure would be.” THE RECORD SHOP NEWEST SELECTIONS JUST RECEIVED.

THE WAR TODAY: Hitler’s Chalet Destroyed, Bat He Likely Wasn’t In It By DeWITT MacKENZIE, AP Writer Destruction of Hitler’s Berchtes gaden home with a 12,000 pound earthquake bomb has provided a happy departure from the general war-practice of not gunning for heads of states, although unfor tunately the chances seem small that the barbarian was in his house. The dictator’s death might easily end the war immediately, making it unnecessary to sacrifice more Allied lives to clean up the last pockets of German forces. That is, it probably would end the war if his death became generally known to his scattered forces, since loyalty to him provides the main reason for continued resistance of the Nazi fanatics. The Fuehrer’s death "in action” also would be a boon to the post war world, because his capture and punishment after trial most cer tainly will make a martyr of him in the eyes of his followers and thus add to the allied difficulties in the reformation of Germany. Perhaps luck will be with us in this respect, since he apparently is moving about in the danger zones. WET WITH BLOOD Under normal circumstances it has been the practice for bombing expeditions—both in this war and the last one—to avoid the resi dences of rulers and other chiefs of state, who fall in the category of civilians. The case of Hitler the Hun, however, is unique in that he not only is the actual military commander but, more to the point, his hands are wet with the blood of hundreds of thousands whom he has murdered, and he is a fugitive from justice. Daring the last war even the Germans followed the code of not molesting rulers. A typical example, was the king; of the Belgians, who lived throughout the conflict in a farm-house at La Panne, not far from the fighting lines. There wasn’t a day when the royal family couldn't have been wiped out by bombing or shelling. There also was a sort of tacit understanding in those days that general military headquarters, and even army headquarters, should be immune from bombing. Tire air men on both sides avoided hitting such targets. HITLERIAN SAVAGERY All that sounds rather unreal in these days of Hitlerian savagery. There hasn’t been a war like this since the time of the barbarian conquerors, but retribution is des cending on the guilty heads. We have a reminder of this in a dis patch today from Moscow, quot ing a Russian war correspondent who is with his troops in the Ber lin inferno. After reporting that virtually every German in the capital is opposing the Red at tack, he adds grimly: “But the Red army cannot be kept from crushing the city. Many men around me have Berlin ad dresses and scores to settle, i could hear them repeating their addresses as they fought.” That means a partial pay-off for the horrible atrocities which the Germans have committed on Russian soil. The Russians have long lists of Germans who are guilty of war crimes. These lists have been carefully built up from the testimony of eye-witnesses over the years of fighting. We may be sure that the Hitlerites who have participated in atrocities will suffer the full penalty—and quick ly. Carrier Given Proud Name, ‘Franklin D. Roosevelt’ WASHINGTON, April 26. —</Pj— The Navy which Franklin D. j Roosevelt knew, loved, and built to < first rank today paid the late com i mander-in-chief its highest tribute. In a tradition - shattering move, after the manner of the late President himself, the Navy assigned the name “Fran klin D. Roosevelt” to one of its mightiest warships, the 45,000 ton aircraft carrier to be launched at the New York j Navy yard Sunday. Originally designed the "Coral 1 Sea,” the vessel is a sister ship of the "Midway,” launched last month ! at Newport News, Va. It is the second of a series of three, j BIGGEST AFLOAT The name Coral Sea had been chosen for the battle of the Coral Sea, in May, 1042, which stopped the southward advance of the Jap anese in the Pacific and ended the period of defensive warfare for the U. S. Navy. The third vessel, still under con struction, is as yet unnamed, but it probably will become the “Coral Sea.” Several congressmen said they were informed that Mrs. Roosevelt would christen the new* carrier. The name change, Navy officials said, was made with the approval of President Truman. The Franklin D. Roosevelt and its two sister ships will be the big gest warships afloat. Japs Driving On Chihkiang Halted CHUNGKING, April 26. —UP)— Reinforced Japanese troops at tempting to drive on the U. S. 14th air force base fet Chihkiang in western Hunan province have been halted in bitter fighting, the Chin ese high command said tonight. The battle flared at a point 75 miles east of the base, which is 250 miles southeast of Chungking. VYI111C U1C UCill/Itti piUllg U1 tllC three-pronged drive was stopped Chinese battling against the right flank based at Yiyang on the southern shore of Lake Tungtlng engaged the enemy in a severe fight. The Chinese were reported yesterday to have reached Yiyang’s outer wall. The southern arm of the enemy offensive also was held, the high command said. Enemy troops who infiltrated through defense posi tions west of Sinning near the Kwangsi province border were flung back, the Chinese declared. ‘Survivals’ In First Grade Show Increase RALEIGH, April 26—While the number of children enrolled in the first grades of North Caro lina’s public schools has decreas ed almost 44 percent since 1927 28, the number that “survive” and go to the second grade the follow ing year instead of having to re peat, shows a substantial percent S age increase. The current issue of State School Pacts, monthly publication of the i department of public instruction, is devoted wholly to this subject. I During the school year 1927-28 there were 221,900 first-graders, as compared with 125,000 for the past school year. Percentage of these children remaining in the first grade the second year was 37.2 percent of whites and 61.4 percent of colored in, 1928, whereas by 1943 the percentage was 12 8 of whites and 42.3 percent of colored. CONFERENCE Slarfts On Page One the Germans were bombing their own capital. Two mighty Soviet armies had completed the encircle ment of the city and Russian elements were closing in from the west, in the rear of the hard pressed defenders. Con tinuing to promise reinforce ments, Nazi propagandists still had not admitted to Berliners that their city was completely ringed. Pressing close to walls, some German civilians crawled toward the Russian lines, believing they would be safer there than in the cauldron of the encircled area. Russian storm units were mak ing the conquest of the capital the world's greatest manhunt. Moscow dispatches said. Fighting over and under the streets the Russians had been ordered to take Adolf Hitler alive if he still is in the capital as Nazi propagandists have declared. NOT OPTIMISTIC The Russians were not too op timistic about finding the Fueh rer in Berlin, however. The Moscow radio observed that Ger man reports of Hite's presence in Berlin “are lies and have been invented to stimulate a fierce de fense of the capital." Possibly 500,000 Germans were caught in the capital. The Hamburg radio asserted that Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels still was in Berlin and that Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel also was in or near the city. While the noose around Berlin was being tightened other Soviet forces surged across the Elbe river toward an imminent junction with the Americans. In the Reich's waist Marshal Ivan S. Konev’s first Ukrainian army swarmed over the historic Elbe barrier, toppling the west bank fortress city of Riesa, 76 miles south of Berlin. Konev's men were 22 miles from Allied-reported : American positions on the Mulde river and only 18 miles from Ameri can bridgeheads on the Mulde as reported by the "Germans. VJ A. llXilV OUViV/IVJ Marshal Gregory K. Zhukov's first White Russian army was press ing in Jungfernheide from the Palkenhagen sector on the west as well as from the north. Under cover of heavy artillery fire the Russians also moved into the Span dau state forest Just outside Span dau. Driving eastward from the cap tured suburb of Doebritz Russian tanks approached the western bank of the broad Havel river across from Charlottenburg and south of Span dau. Southwest of Berlin Konev’s storm groups took the suburb of Lichterfelde and broke out in three spearheads. Crossing the Spree river in the southeastern sector of the city the Russians made a deep penetration through the Tretow district and were approaching the drill grounds of the Berlin garrison. One account said the heaviest fighting was in the southeastern part of Berlin where the Germans had constructed heavy fortifica tions in an attempt to hold the Spree river line.

Army nerve center, put this i capital on the alert today lor pos- i ; sible transcendent developments abroad. Significant in President Truman's one hour and 48-minute visit at the War Department headcjuaters across the Potomac yesterday were these factors: 1— He met there with the highest i military and diplomatic officials in Washington. 2— At the Pentagon are all the facilities for the closest possible liaison with battle fronts in Europe as well as in the Pacific. 3— This was the commander-in ! chief's second meeting in three days with virtually the same offi cials. suggesting the conferences ; related to a developing situation, or l situations, abroad. 4— Those at the latest meeting: wnth the President included Gen. j George C. Marshall, army chief of staff; Secretary of War Stimson: i Admiral Ernest J. King, chief of l naval operations; Admiral William D. Leahy, chief of staff to the com- . mander-in-chief, and under Sec retary of State Joseph C. Grew, ranking State Department official now in Washington. None of the conferees gave a clue to the nature of the Pentagon meet ing. . Interest attached, however, to the fact that the second meeting of the war council was held at the War Department, where are the termi nals of both voice and telegraphic communication networks linking Washington with Allied supreme headquarters in Europe as well as with the headquarters of land ana naval operations in the Pacific. There were some, however, who saw importance in the fact that Grew, former ambassador to Japan, is a leading authority on matters in the Pacific. PEACE OFFER There has been speculation in recent weeks that Japan might be nearing the time when some form of peace offer could be expected. Officials who watch the situation in the Orient say a Japanese peace overture at this time should not be entirely unexpected. They point to several factors: The near-collapse of Japan's axis partner: Russia's denunciation of her neutrality pact with Japan; the probability that Japan will test out peace offers on the new President and. above ail. Japan's own military predicament at sea, in the air and ashore. CITIES Starts On Page One area of the Sesia valley and of the Lake Maggiore region.’’) The American 88th infantry has taken 13 400 prisoners in the cur rent offensive. The enemy hastily evacuated his last foothold on the south side of the Po river east of Ferrara, "leav ing behind him so much equip ment and motor transport that we are unable to count it," Allied headquarters reported. LIGHT OPPOSITION The Fifth army thrust beyond the Po was meeting scant oppo sition, but headquarters continued a news blackout on the exact areas reached by American and South African spearheads. There was no immediate confir mation from air force headquarters 1 that the Germans had fled from ! Genoa, Milan and Turin toward their homeland, leaving partisans in full control of the cities. There has been evidence for many weeks, however, that the Nazis have been prepared for abandonment of the three cities. (A radio station calling itself ‘‘free Genoa” announced last night I that Italian patriots had liberated most of Genoa, the Office of War Information reported in New York. The broadcast said the patriots were mopping up the last centers of German resistance.) An official report said the Ger mans were making a speedy with drawal from their last strongholds in the western end of the Appe nines. American units heading up the coast from captured La Spezia were meeting only "very little artillery fire,” the report added, saying i ‘‘weak rearguards” blew up "a few” i bridges. GERMANS REELING Thousands of prisoners were tak en as the routed Germans reeled toward Hitler's mountainous “re l doubt.” i a special communique last night said "every road is jammed with the ! retreating enemy, who is using not I only horses but oxen, cows and hu man beings to draw his transport.” The Eighth army, speeding for ward, was hopeful of piercing the | enemy's Adige defense line which is I anchored on Monte Euganei, a hill | mass beginning about 20 miles north of the Po and extending to within eight miles of Padua. Positions on hills in that area do • minate the main highways to I Padua, Venice. Vicenza and on into i THIRD Slarfts On Page One Bremen, largest German submarine center. Gen. Patton’s Third army was closest to Austria and across the Danube at a point 41 miles north of Munich beyond hopelessly out flanked and bypassed Regeasburg. Lt. Gen. Alexander M. Patch's Seventh army threatening Augs burg was the same distance to the I northwest. Hitler's ruined roost at Berchtes gaden was barely 72 miles from Third army troops in the Danube 1 valley. The three-army assault 'upon the Nazis' Alpine redoubt in the south was up to or across the Danube on a 180 mile front. RESISTANCE STIFFER German resistance, however, was ! stiffening. Pilots saw German troops and machines massing at , Passau on the Austrian border for a supreme defense of that Danu | bian road center, 11 miles from I Patton's tanks. The British Second army closed i up to the Elbe at nearly all points I in its sector southeastward from ; Hamburg. The American Ninth army and British controlled 200 miles of the west bank of the I river from Hamburg to Dessau and had mopped up nearly eveiy bypassed pocket behind the stream Canadians reached Kritsum, sev en miles northeast of Emden, they withdrew their two bridgeheads over the Maas river south of Utrecht. Just south of Hamburg, the Ger mans counterattacked the Desert Rats (7th armored) division, but were thrown back.
