.Myitkino 
tcontinued from Page D

The Japanese, however, en- trenched in pillboxes and fighting desperately, held out to the last man.
 Brig. Gen. Prank D. Merrill's Marauders had taken the main air field west of Myitkyina on May i7 after a 700-mile trek through the jungles, but they were unable to enter the town and the Japanese immediately reinforced the garri- son.
 Then began one of the strangest sieges in history. The assaulting troops had either walked through the jungle or were air borne, and they were therefore not equipped with the heavy artillery necessary to reduce the enemy's pillboxes, some of which had walls of con- crete several yards thick.
 Accurate Bombing The extremely well camouflaged positions were heavily and accur- ately bombed and then neutralized by infantry. It was necessary to hack a way yard by yard in bitter bayonet and street fighting, but the aSsaulting forces were made to re- treat only once.
 Nutrition tactics through the use of bazookas. flame-thrower and mortars became increasingly efTec- tive, although the tabletop flat area became a qusgmire of mud to add to the difficulties of the in- fantrymen.
 While the fall of Myitkyina. which has a civilian population of 7,5O0, does not mean the automatic opening of the Ledo route into China, it does give Stilwell's forces a jumping of place for contracting Chinese forces advancing into Burma from the Salween river area of Yunnan province.
 The joining of the two forces would force the first link between india and China since the loss of the old Burma road to the enemy,

 Nazi paratroops fought viciously for every foot of ground, but they were herded back ruthlessly by the ard-charging Britons, losing the ruined stronghold of Impruneta and the nearby town of Strada yester- day.

NCOnClnueQ rom rage U the streets of Warsaw seized many strong points scattered throughout the city, and "the initiative is ours. but the fight is bitter.")
 A little more than 100 miles south of Warsaw, the Red Army establish ed a wide and deep bridgehead across the Vistula, and now was re- ported pouring endorsements over several crossings for a scythe-like sweep up against the capital.
 Veterans of famous battles for crossings of the Don, Desna. Dnepr and Dnestr rivers, masters of i'm provisation. maintained a steady flow of mechanical forces, infantry and supplies across the Vistula.
 Water-soaked shock troops en- gagged German infantry in hand to hand combat on the rim of the bridgehead while artillery thundered on both sides of the Vistula and air battles ragged with unabated fer- ocity.
 A front dispatch to the Army organ Red Star said the Germans were huTling their whole arsenal of fire and steel at the Soviet Van- guard. vainly struggling to wipe out the firm footholds on the west bank of the Vistuia. now so deep that some crossings were out of range Of German artillery.
 With the crossing consolidated, Soviet heavy tanks and self-pro- pelled guns soon will be able to mapeuyer in many directions on the wide Polish plains. dispatches said
 Latest front reports placed the Soyiets at least i6 miles beyond the Vistula and the Soviet high con- mand said in its Thursday mid- night communique that the Ger mans were dosing one position af- ter another" under the trip-ham- mer blows of Marshal Ivan s. Ko- ney's list Ukrainian Army.

cited conflict between state and federal interests In a broad field of governmental relationships and de- manded greater scope and respon- slbility for local government.
 Today's reports dealt with social welfare, education and public health; public expenditures; labor water resources; and state-federal tax coordination.
 Charging the administration with Ineffclent and arbitrary ap- breaches to labor problems, the gov- ernors demanded "an immediate and drastic change in the spirit and methods of administration of these dabor) laws"
 They objected to a general policy of federal collection of tax funds to be shared with the states and said taxes must be simplifled and reduced after the war is won"
 Medical Care Bill
 The governors hit at the Wagner Murray bill to provide medical care for the population generally with a federal subsidy. Tn the report on social welfare, education and public health, they made these rec- Oinmendations:
 1. There should be no political control of the profession of medi- cine.
 2. The states and local commu- mites should improve their existing disqualification, clinical treatment visiting nursing and other public health programs, as far as their res sources permit.
 3. The existing scattered federal agencies concerned with various as- poets of the public health should be more closely integrated.
 There is too much duplication of state and federal effort, the gov. ernors said in discussing public ex. penditures. and they called for ac. ton to make the most of govern

More than 50 towns and villages were swept up in the first 24 hours of Konev's advance, including the stronghold of Staszow, il5 miles south of Warsaw and only 100 miles from Germanys highly industrial ized province Of Silesia.
 Preparations
 Far to the north, Gen. Ivan D. CherniakhovslSy's 3rd White Rus- sian Army drew abreast of East Prussia on a l00-Tnile front in pre- paration for a thrust across the border of Germany's northeastern most home province.
 CThe American broadcasting sta- tion in Europe. in a broadcast recorded by CBS, said Soviet Van guards were less than a mile from the East Prussisn border town of Eydtkau on the main road and A4AAHhy " AAokkA60hNt6s AAiE DbOLfNN holm newspaper Aftontidningen said panic and confusion prevailed in East Prussia amid last-minute evacuation preparations.)
 Russian advance patrols were be- lieyed either probing the near ap- breaches to the border or already across 1t following the capture of a number of towns and villages egiht miles or less away.
 The battle for Warsaw's east bank suburbs was mounting in fury, but the Soviet command remained silent on the Russians progress pending decision.
 Russian infantry swarmed across the Vistula in rowboats, dighies and even barrels and logs to seize the initial bridgeheads on the west bank between Koprzywnica. 10 miles southwest of the railway station of Sandomierz, and Polaniec, i9 miles 1 farter southwest. Both KroprZyw- mica and Polaniec subsequently, were captured. " Exploit Success Soviet engineers quickly exploited the infantryis success and threw poptoon bridges across the 200- yard-wtde stream, oyer which poured Cossack cayalrymen and long columns of tanks.
 The Germans counter attacked viciously and repeatedly in a des- perate effort to wipe out the Soviet bridgehead, but gradually were forced back to the west. The Soviet advance appeared to be gaining momentum as more and more tanks, men and vehicles poured across the Vistula.
 More than 5000 Germans were killed in the fighting yesterday and large booty was captured, including eight tanks and 60 guns. An un- specified number of prisoners was taken.
