gress tonight for Varsie Oxendlne,
x0-year-old Indian sought for the
alleged abduction OF Paul n.
Thompson, Al, Fairmont druggist
who was taken on a wild lO-hour

tree for about one hour, and on
other occasions, when the ride
over the countryside continued, the

trunk of his car when the Indian
stopped at filling stations to get
gasoline, officers said.

The program arranged for their
Wednesday meeting unavoidably
suspended, Kiwanians enjoyed a
brief period of singing all their
own and an impromptu talk by
Henrick William Olsen, of New
York city, a Kiwanian himself,
and an expert on lighting especial
" in churches, public halls, the
aters and other large buildings.
Mr.. Olsen told of his firms var
ious activities outside it's own par
ticular field during the war period,
particularly of its success in pro-
viding light and ventilation on
transport and other ships plying
the seas when the U-boat menace
was greatest, and of camouflaging
landing and taxi strips at airfields
so that pilots in training mi ght
know the conditions tn y would
have to contend with when over
hostile territory.
Walker Taylor called attention TO
the constitutional amendments
which will appear on North Caro-
lima ballots next Tuesday and urg-
ed his associate members to study
them.
Attending the meeting with Mr..
Olsen as a guest of the club was

 The Red armies maintained the pace of their siwft advance towards the river Prut in Rulmania and tore new holes in the collapsing German lines still holding to hopeless posi- tions along the lower Bug towards the Black Sea. The Germans mean while were snoring up their position in Hungary, Rumania and Bulgaria for a last-ditch defense aganist the tide from the seat.
 The air assault was almost con- tinuous since yesterday morning, when a powerful force of about 1,500 American heavy bombers and fight CTS crashed through the Reich'S ground defenses to rain more de- struction on shattered Berlin. The vaunted Luftwaffe, dYindling in strength, did not rise to give con- bat.
 The RAF picked up last night where the Americans left off. About 1000 heavy bombers dropped nearly 3,360 tons of bombs on the aircraft, chemical and other war production plants of the industrial city of Frankfurt in five days and the Bri- tish believe 1t may have been the knockout blow to anither of the Reich's key cities.
 While the heavies were hitting Frankfurt, twin-engined Mosquitoes which can carry two-ton bombs hurled more explosives and incen- diaries on Berlin, still in flames from the American attack.
 On the Russian front, the second Ukranian army steadily widened and deepened its bridgehead across the Dniester towards the Prut, brushing aside German Rumanian efforts to re-group for a delaying action in the rear of their retreating main forces. The Russians captured Nudushita, 34 miles northeast of the
 Prut and 17 from the key railwa
