DACE FOUR THE DAILY ADVANCE, ELIZABETH CITY, N. C. THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 12,1945. Nazi Chiefs Plan Final Stand at Reduit InBavarian Alps; One, Possibly Goebbels, to Be Sacrificed for Morale With Pacific Fleet Thirty Six Men Lost In Tanker Mishap By CURT RIESS Berne, Switzerland, Apr. Adolf Hitler and other Nazi era have abandoned all hope 13— lead- for a successful defense of the Reich. This news I bring back after making a secret trip into unoccu pied Germany. A decision to recognize the hope lessness of the German military position was reached in a meeting at Berchtesgaden, on March 29, between Hitler, Himmler and three generals—one of selring. Retirement of into Reduit, the whom was Kes- the elite troops German strong- hold in the Bavarian Alps, has be gun. This move was planned and organized long ago, and the re treat is going on with the greatest possible speed. Evacuate Sigmaringen Populace During the week commencing April 1, an important conference was held in Sigmaringen, so that all details connected with this lat est development could be discuss ed and cleared. Officially, the meeting was one of SS leadership. The official program is the “Re port of the Reiehsfuehrer SS on Past and Future Developments.” The Reiehsfuehrer is Himmler. All Important personalities, of the SS and all Gauleiters, as well as key personnel of the Bormann party machine, were present. For the last two weeks most of the population of Sigmaringen has been evacuated. Petain, Laval and the whole Vichy crowd now are installed in Garmisch Partenkirchen. Sigmar ingen is filling rapidly with Ges tapo agents and other personnel connected with Himmler’s and Bormann’s machines. Evacuation of the population and particularly of the Vichy crowd, was not for the purpose of this one meeting. Sigmaringen has be come the new Nazi military head- S. C.

The program of the meeting had two main points. One was the planning of continued retirements on the eastern and western fronts. The other was organization of the retreat into Reduit. This retreat, was worked out some time ago to life smallest detail. Nothing has been left to “Plan K” All this is chance. Covers Evacuation covered' by “Plan K.” Plan K is a prefabricated plan of the evacuation of Germany with every move fixed" for a certain hour relative to zero hour. During the meeting at Sigmaringen, zero hour was established. The the re treat will begin in full swing. Most Nazi big shots already have moved southward nearer Reduit.

The Foreign Office is some- I where in Thuringia, but is sup- ported missing since in action in Germany on February 24, Pfc. Sawney Cecil Eure, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Eure of Gates, was kill ed in action on that date, accord ing to a War Department message received by his parents. Private Eure was the eighteenth Gates County man killed in action of training since Pearl Harbor Day, December 7, 1941. Graduating from Gates High School in 1940 and from Chowan College in 1942. Pfc. Eure was 20 years of age. He entered the arm ed forces in April 1943, and had left the United States for over seas duty less than a month be fore he was killed. Pfc. Eure met and talked with his sister, Lieutenant Emma Eure Ware, Army Nurse's Corps, some where in Germany a short while after his arrival in that country. A brother, Pfc. Edward Eure, is a patient in a hospital at Fort Story. Also surviving are his parents; five other sisters, Mrs. William Councilman of Cradock, Mrs. Her man Ward of Hobbsville, and Helen, Malene and Musa Eure of Gates; and one brother, Quinton Eure of Gates. Red Cross to Rush Supplies to Prisoners In Camps in Germany Washington, April 13-—(TP)—Ef fective today, emergency Red Cross food supplies will be trans ported daily by trucks from Swit zerland to prisoner of war camps in Germany, the Red Cross an nounces. American Red Cross representa tive Francis James informed Na tional Headquarters here that 296 trucks furnished by Supreme A1- lied Headquarters and the government are available supply work. The truck heretofore has been on an lar basis. French for the service irregu- From 1 to 12 trucks will make up the daily convoy from Switzer land to the prisoner centers. The trucks provided by the French government will be used to carry supplies for internees in concen tration camps as well as for priso ners of war. Hardware Stores Asked Send Representatives To Cooker Clinic It that save will is also definitely established not all Nazi leaders are to be by admission to Reduit. Some have to remain and defend important points until the last. I was also told that one of the most important Nazis will remain out side Reduit and thus sacrifice him self for reasons of morale of the German people. Supposedly, Goeb bels felt that this was absolutely necessary. Who has been chosen? I couldn’t establish the identity of the Nazi who will be sacrificed, but there’s likelihood that Goeb- bels himself will until the last. According to my tion, 100,000 troops Reduit and more defend Berlin last informa- are already in than 300,000 troops are concentrated between the Black Forest and Lake Con stance, ready to move in. Needless to say, it is by no means established that everything will go according to Plan K. It stands to reason that informed Al lied Headquarters will make some countermoves. Perhaps this is the reason for the hastily arranged conference at Sigmaringen. on, does not expect to he able to do so next year. Miss Rebecca Colwell, Chowan home agent, is issuing the invita tion to the hardware stores, and she reminds them that the clinic will be held at the Perquimans agriculture building. The clinic will be conducted by Extension Agricultural Engineer H. M. Ellis, who will inspect and test the cookers. There is no charge for the service beyond that of new parts which may be need ed. I “Cookers are not safe to use if the safety valve is not in good condition,” Miss Caldwell warns owners, “and fods often spoil be cause the gauge does not register accurately. “Canners to be checked should be in the office of the home agent here or the agriculture building in Hertford not later than the day before the clinic.” Inoculation Urged For Soy Bean Seed Pasquotank County farmers were urged today by county agent1 P. H. Jameson to make sure that all soybean seed planted this spring is properly inoculated, es pecially on land that has not re peatedly grown the crop. The largest possible production of soybeans is vitually important with the worst shortage of fats and oils impending since the start of the war, according to Mr. Jameson. Supplies of butter, lard and other shortenings are expec ted to shrink rapidly this sum- mer. will 1944, up a The 1945 -soybean acreage remain about the same as yet soybean oil must make large part of the shortage. ^^^H New York, April 13—(TP)—Thir ty-six men were lost when the gasoline-laden American tanker St. Mihiel on her maiden voyage burst into flames, after crashing into another vessel in an allied convoy Monday 700 miles at sea. • Some victims were trapped in the burning ship. Others were lost when they jumped into the flaming sea about the stricken vessel. Two are known to be dead, and 34 listed vs missing. The War Shipping Administra tion disclosed the accident today and said that both ships were able to return to New York. The St. Mihiel, carrying 180,000 barrels of 80-octane gasoline, col lided with the tanker Nashbulk in the dim twilight, the WSA said. All except one of the dead and missing were crew members of the St. Mihiel. the WSA reported.

Experiment station tests indicate yields on the av erage will be increased by 10 to 15 per cent,some times much more. “Inoculation also plays an im portant part in maintaining soil nitrogen, an important consider ation when the fertility of many soils is under heavy drain due to the over-cropping demanded by war. It is good business and,it is patriotic for every farmer to pro duce every possible pound of fats for this last big push. “Inoculation by either commer cial cultures or by the use of pro perly inoculated soil can be ef fective, but commercial inocu lants require much less labor, an important point this year. To be sure of obtaining them, inoculants should be ordered early.” This inoculation can be secur ed from the local seed stores. Bundy am! Moran Io Audit Hyde County Books Swa.nuart.er, Apr.
