A Forest For Every Fanner It South Proposed WASHINGTON. April 28. —(*’) A procram aimed at providing forest for every farmer” in the sout! carried the endorsement today c both house and senate. Calling for expenditure of $300. 000 for 11 experimental forests, i was approved only after a contro versy which features a split betweei two Georgia Democrats—Reps. Gib son and Tarver. The plan is to establish the for ests with a view to determinini which trees grow best in assortei pwaWi»s. Then, to develop th south’s timber resources, Dixielam farmers would be assisted and en couraged to start plots of their owi based on the model forests. allocations Under the program — which i part of the agriculture departmen appropriations bill due to go t< the White House as soon as thi Senate and House agree on othe: unrelated items — the followin; funds would be allocated: 000 each to the Santee Forest South Carolina and Bent Creel Forest, North Carolina. Tarver, who is chairman of thi house agriculture appropriation! subcommittee, declared he agreec with the principle involved bu thought it unwise to legislate or a sectional scale. Gibson, leader of the group seek ing the forests, told the house thi program was essential to assun “adequate timber resources.” Hf said it would “tap untold sources o: potential wealth,” by discovering new uses for wood. INCONCEIVABLE “I can not conceive of my col league from Georgia—which is on< of the states which would so great!; benefit by this appropriation stahdtng up here and fighting this project.” Gibson; said. Several other Southern Demo crats supported Gibson in the de bate. including Durham of Nortl Carolina and Rivers of South Car olina. Thev won their battle only aftei » second try. When the measur< first came up in the house severa weeks ago, Tarver blocked their at tempt. When the senate acted las' week, however, Senator Russell (D Ga) got the $300,000 appropriatioi added to the bill. Then when i came back to the house for recon sideration Gibson and his suppor ters won oil'a roll call vote-by, 23: to 94. JUNCTURE Starts On Page One val of other Russian troops. In Paris, such questions as thesi were being asked concerning thesi armies: Would they take new position somewhere else in Europe? Wouli they be pulled out of the line an< sent home? Would they be used— Russians and Americans alike—in i final shattering blow in the Paci fic? Lt, Gen. Kurt Dittmar, widely quoted Nazi military commentator predicts that the war will be ovei in a few days. After surrendering to the U. S. Ninth army he~Qe dared that Hitler was in Berlir and would die there. SOON BE OVER “When Berlin falls it will b< over,” he said, asserting that one £ Hitler is dead there will be noth ing to hold together the remain ing Nazi forces. Dittmar asserted that the so called Bavarian redoubt was a myth. It is believed, however, that ol perhaps 200 nominal divisions left to fight for Germany—none ui wnicn 13 up lO fcireugiu—wie Wg gest single force is in that south ern area. Twenty to 30 other divi sions are in flight into that region across the Alps from Italy. The greater part of the remain der of Germany's fighting strength is cut off in the northern or Bal tic pocket. There also are 30 o; more divisions in the long bypassed Atlantic ports.

Some $700,000,000 worth of “spot" civilian production already has been authorized, although the pro gram was curtailed for manpower reasons at the time of last winter’s military reserves. Resumption of ‘‘spot”mann facturing and the planned re vocation of industrial controls are WFB’s first major moves in its announced effort to get a partial reconversion program in motion, timed with the grad ual curtailment of military production to a one-front war basis. In its anxiety to forestall plant , when war contracts are cancelled, shutdowns and unemployment . WPB has suspended its rule re , quiring a 72-hour “waiting period” • before orders are wiped off the I Officials refused to disclose which of the controls on civilian produc tion are to be scrapped in the next few days, but stated they are “not among the most important” orders cm the books. NO CABS SOON This made it clear that such restrictions as those prohibiting ■ automobile and refrigerator pro : duction will not be dropped until materials and parts are m more ; I plentiful supply. I Not until three or four months [ after V-E Day, It was esti mated, will WPB rid industry of all the 350-odd orders which are to be revoked as the coun | try settles into the production pace needed for fighting Jap an alone. The remaining 150 orders of the 500 now in effect will be retain ed possibly until V-J day, it was predicted. They restrict production pf articles made of paper, lumber, chemicals, textiles, rubber and ! some other materials which will.be scarce until final victory is won. i For the time being, moreover, production of consumer goods will be limited by WPB's rationing of materials. The dropping of pro 1 duction bans will therefore not be felt appreciably until this alloca I tion machinery — which governs steel, copper and aluminum — is i fCiaAcu. BASIC MATERIALS i The relaxation will be accom ! plished by permitting steel, copper and aluminum producers to fill non-priority civilian orders after they have met their obligations to i the Army and the Navy. The controlled materials plan iCMPj , the machinery under which these metals now are rationed among military and civilian users, will be so amended for aluminum i within a few days, it was predicted. Copper may follow in a matter of weeks, and steel mills will be simil arly released sometime after V-E Day. This will create a ‘‘free" supply of the basic metals, enabling man , ufacturers to go ahead with the ! civilian goods production authoriz ed either under the “spot" plan or by the lifting of the control orders. Until that time, civilian produc ers will have to use such Idle and surplus materials as they find available. essary to reproduce the picture in printed form. Engravers were , flooded with the work and couid not return the engravings until last night which necessitated late 1 hours in our composing and edi i torial rooms.

Other au thoriites of the Fascist regime were also in the German column, anc “their identification Is proceed ing.” the radio said. Details of the arrest were giver in a telephone report to Milan by "Warrant Officer Scapi” whose re port was quoted in the broadcast as follows: “The former duce was traveling by car. The car was mixed up with a German column of about 30 ve hicles. “Signor Mussolini was wearing a militia uniform and a German coat, so as to be taken for a German sol dier.” LITTLE Starts On Page One shaking and backslapping yes terday. It produced these quickly rati fied solutions to issues which had given the conference on peace a belligerent start. 1. rnrougn rtussian insistence, the delegates tossed tradition out of the window and elected four presidents instead of one—Foreign Commissar Molotov, of Russia, Foreign Minister Soong of China. British Foreign Secretary Eden and Secretary of State Stettinius It was agreed that these four should rotate the honor of presid ing over conference sessions. For the two sessions scheduled today, Soong drew the first and Molotov the second. Eden will have his turn Monday. KEY COMMITTEES 2. Under Anglo-American in sistence, the steering committee refused to complicate manage ment of conference work by hav ing rotating chairmanships for the key executive and steering com mittees. Molotov finally agreed that Eden, Soong and he would •'delegate" their authority to Stet tinius for this job. That made the American secretary in fact the chief of those committees. 3. The Russian proposal to in clude the White Russian and U kralnian Soviets in the proposed world assembly of nations went through without a hitch. Stet tinius endorsed it, under specific instructions from President Tru man to carry out the pledge which the late President Roosevelt mad* to Premier Stalin at the Yaltc Big-Three meeting. 4. A proposal made by Molotoi to seat the present Warsaw gov ernment at this conference wai talked down, outmaneuvered anc finally smothered under a reso. lution, which the conference ap proved, telling the Big-Three t< settle their differences over Pol I end and expressing hope it woult ! he done before this conference j ends.

N. C.. yesterday. He walked across the state line and told Postmaster Paul Fitzgerald that he wanted to sur render. Browning said he is from New port News, and had served four years of an eight-year sentence for robbery. GERMANS Starts On Page One j gion where American-Russian forces i had merged. | The Halesches Tor or gate Is | ' 1 1-4 miles from Under Den Lin i den and the same distance from ; the Tiergarten. One Soviet correspondent in the ctiy said “among the civ ilians' our men who are stop ping are not only soldiers but officers, even commanders of companies and battalions who were not able to continue the senseless resistance, but also were unable to surrender in organized fashion. And next to this line of people there is passing a long column in uni forms. They have surrendered with the aid of the white flag.” The German high command re ported that a relief army was •'rapidly nearing" the ruined and flame-swept city after breaking out of a Russian trap to the southeast. • However, such an escape appeared highly improbable since the Sov iets moved strong forces out of that area for a twin offensive to ward Hamburg, Rostock and other port cities, and toward a second linkup with American troops on the middle Elbe. While the Reds hammered out ! gains of a mile and more around the city's bomb-pulvcAzed inner .! core of 49 square milesrthe Nazi's i fading radios conceded the situa ! tion was ''critical'' and said the battle of Berlin would decide the ! war. Nazi propaganda lasisted that ! Adolf Hitler was still in the sur rounded capital, from which es | cape by air was cut off with the ! fall of Tempelhof airdrome yester day. Moecow ridiculed the story, but Swedish dispatches said the Fuehrer's headquarters were es tablished in a fortified under ground hideout in the famous Zoo i logical Gardens. Enemy broadcasts ! admitted that Russians fighting m j the populous working class section of Moabit were threatening the Gardens’ outer fringes. As the eight-day-old battle neared its dramatic climax, Nazi radios called on Berlin's mothers to take up arms and a Moscow dispatch said brigades of women snipers al ready in action. Aged men, small children, clerks, teachers and other unskilled fighters also were re ported resisting. Soviet writers said tricky Nazi storm troopers were camouflaging themselves in civi lian clothes but continuing the bat ; tic. "Hardly a building’’ was still in tact, a Russian war correspondent j i\ported, and food supplies were | steadily running out. A Soviet writ , er said the spring sun over the city | was blacked out “from the dust of ; hundreds of thousands of houses breaking asunder.” The ruin was so vast, Moscow said, that the enemy was unable , to house his wounded. CHRISTIAN COLLEGE FUND WILSON, April 28 — {fi>> — Dr. Howard S. Hilley, president of At lantic Christian college here, re ported today that $215,000 of the college's goal of $250,000 for post war extension had been raised. Dr Hilley said he had proposed j to the college board of trustees | that the institution be made into I a liberal arta college. SMILIN’ THROUGH’ IS BIG SUCCESS "Smilin' Through," the major; production of Gardner-Webb's Classic Entertainers, was present ed last night to a packed house. The play, a great success, gave a glimpse of the last World War a picture of the present.-day con flict—both nationally and in the emotional life of our nation. Featuring Sam Greene, jr„ as John Carteret—a man made trag ically unhappy by his inability to forgive the son of the man who ruined his life, it gave vivid pic ture of a struggle for happiness by unfair methods. Giving a brilliant portrayal as the woman he loved—Mooneyeen Clare—was Patricia Sumner. In feature roles, also, were Lansford Jolley, J. T. Jones, Jr., and Jeanne Rollins. Rated as equal with last year's unusual success, "Stephen Foster” the production adds to the list of college dramatic hits. OKINAWA Starts On Page One 1 10th in the past month. Capture of three key hills in the center of the Southern Okinawa I front places American troops in a j dominating position for the drive | on the two airstrips. Marine Corsair fighter pilots bombed Japanese gun emplace ments near Machinate Airfield | which were shelling U. S. ambu I lances evacuating wounded. Units of Maj. Gen. Archibald V. Arnold's Seventh division killed more than 150 Japanese withdraw i ing supplies from caves. Those re fusing surrender were sealed in their lairs by heavy explosives. AIRFIELD SHELLED Associated Press Correspondent James Lindsley said Japanese shell ed the Katena airfield area for the first time in a week, pitching 200 rounds of artillery shells on one 96th division area and 70 rounds into a 27th division sector. Nimitz, after announcing Japan's j new secret weapon—a 19-foot wing human-guided aerial bomb released | from a mother plane—made no ; mention of it today. It was first used against American ships Apr:l 12. Sailors promptly dubbed the secret weapon "baka bomb"—batca i coming from the Japanese word ' meaning fool. NAZI Starti On Page One Nazi broadcast calling on the Al lies to bomb Field Marshal Al bert Kesselring's headquarters at Pullach, six miles south of Mu 1 nich. HOW IT BEGAN A field dispatch from <JP> Cor respondent Edward D. Ball with the Third army, quoted the Mu nich radio as saying the revolt started with Von Epp seizing pow er. ‘The hour of freedom has struck," the broadcast said, asking calm faith in the new leadership, exhorting Germans to stop fight ing, and French, prisoners to leave work. Giesler declared ‘‘these traitors wanted to stab us in the back in this most difficult of all hours. We can only survive if we remain faithful to our Fuehrer.” A parade of Nazi officials came to German microphones denounc ing the attempted coup. There was no word from Von Epp himself. He once ordered death for hundreds of workers in Bavaria to stamp out a socialist movement. Ernest Roehm, brown shirt cap tain slain by Hitler’s purge at Mu nich over a decade ago, was a I protege of Von Epp. however. ' Tire Munich station broadcast a proclamaion accusing Captain Wernecke of perpetrating the I "hoax." It declared that since he j was unknown, he had used names Furnished by J.
