On January 4, posse con-
sisting Of Deputy Sheriff ClelI
Lee of Cochise County, 1st. Sgt.
Charles G. Battle and Sgt. John
Yates of the Post MPs and Sgt.
S. L. Riley of the Post Indian Scouts
left here on a six-day patrol. As
signed the area between Sasabe
and Buenos Aires, distance of q
miles, in wild, mountainous and
brush-covered terrain, the posse
camped singly at seven-mile inter-
vale. Ordered to maintain night
outposts and by day make contact
with other patrols and take station
on high ground to cover the area
with field glasses, the men were
kept alert constantly. In addition
to the game, it was necessary to
keep watch for rattlesnakes, which
were abundant in the neighborhood.
The remainder of the hunters, It's
men in all, covered the entire area
in all directions. In addition, II
airplanes combed the country, over
the high mountain peaks and in the
draws, at times flying no more than
10 feet above the ground. Before
long six of the escapeeS were cap
turned in the town of Sells, and
finally the Post patrol was with
drawn.
Deputy Sheriff Lee, who main
tains a ranch near the Fort, is q
well known guide and hunter i'll
Arizona. With his brothers, he has
kept a pack of famous hunting dogs
and acted as guide to hunting par
ties. Indian Scout Riley, inheriting
the traditions of his forebears, can
trace the track of a horned toad
from here to Christmas. Both Ser
geant Battle and Sergeant Yates
are noted marksmen. and it is prob
ably well that no escapes crossed
their path.

THE JOY OF EATING

PSOple nave talked ABOUT b1e
things they like to do most and I

of things of this nature, I would like

the art of eating No, I am not a

that a fountain of unending Joy
spouts forth from my inner depths
whenever this privilege is afforded
me. In the cool of the day especially
the hour before the noon meal find
myself taking a whiff of the sur

1t is then that feel a joyful SEN

filled with appetizers and food of

that chow time has on my GI. soul.
I find myself again about to enjoy
one of those sumptuous army meals
These meals represent the combined

At last and at perfect peace with

So furious is my attack ON the food

this discovery is made I had made
my way into the second line and

Surrender
 By Germons Just Rumor

Washington, March 27.-UP)- Misinterpretation of a casual re- mark by White House Press Secre- tary Jonathan Daniels today blos- somed into a peace rumor" that swept the nation.
 The whole thing grew out ot Daniels disclosure that President Roosevelt recently advised Secre- tary of State Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., and other cabinet officers that American officials-except those of- ficially designated-would be ex- pected to stay away from next months San Francisco Security Conference. Such officials, Daniels said the President felt, should stay on their jobs "at this critical time"
 Misinterpretations of this by some persons grew until some erroneous reports circulated that the cabinet had been ordered to stand by TOT big developments expected later to- day.
 Then began a torrent of telephone calls to the White House and to newspaper offices asking if the war in Europe had ended. ..
 Daniels remarks. however, dealt solely with the fact that the Presi- dent had served notice on Amerl- can diplomats abroad and officials in Washington that they were ex- pected to renniu at their work un- less officially ! designated t0 go to the JTftseed N4tions Con- ssnce.
 It UevelopEd later that the Presidents note to Stettinius and the others waS sent on March 16. and thus could have had nothing to do with immediate developments in the war situation.
 The message to Stettinius, Daniels said, pointed out the importance of all chiefs of missions (ambassa- dors and ministers) remaining at their posts during this critical time"
 A similar note went to other cabi- net members, Daniels added
 It's purpose was chiefly to minimize the strain on travel facilities and hotel accommodations at San Fran cisco where, Daniels pointed out, the United States would play host to people from all over the world" " The President asked Stettinius and the other seven U. s. delegates to keep their staffs of experts and advisers at minimum.
 Daniels was asked why the mes- sage was sent just to cabinet mem CTS and diplomats. He replied that it was mot matter of specifically INnntiniind on Page Al

Million Reds
 In New Drive Onto Austria
By ROBERT MUSEL

London, March 27 = (UP) Red Army vanguards today swept to within a scant 20 miles from the Austrian border, some 65 miles miles southeast of Vienna, aided by precision bombing of the 18th Am erican Air Force which attacked German concentration points in the path of the Russians.
 German reports acknowledged that the Soviet pressure on the irregular 17O-mile front had in- creased and that Red Army spear heads had flanked the important communications centerS of Komar- om and Gyor in a drive to the Marcal Canal and the lower Raab river.
 The Marcel Canal runs about seven miles west of Papa, captured by the Russians yesterday, and joins the Raab northwest of Papa.
 The Raab in this area is only about 20 miles from the Austrian frontier and runs roughly parallel to 1t.
 German reports said fighting was very heavy and that the Russians also were attacking south and southeast of Komarom.
 Just west of the Russians the 18th Air Force carried out series of attacks designed to soften up the Nazis and enable the Russians to penetrate their inner mountain fortress.
 These attacks hit railyards in Bratislava, the Czech Austrian border city toward which the Red Army is driving 35 miles east of Vienna, the Szombathely yards in western Hungary, 70 miles south of Vienna. the Straszhof yards in- Austria, IS miles east .of Vienna the Bruck yards, 30 miles south of Vienna, and the Wiener Newstadt yards. 30 miles southeast of Vienna,
 Soviet reports said that the Ger mans had thrown strategic reserves against the Russians who are now advancing with orders to pursue the main forces of the Germans and not halt to mop up small detach- mentS.
 Fighting flared anew at Kuestrin where the Germans reported intense Soviet attacks with heavy artillery support had enabled the Russians to score some gains. A Soviet tank | (Continued on Page 4)

Calls Flood Switchboard At Democrat

Scores of telephone calls poured into The Democrat switchboard to- day from excited residents who had heard the rumor that Allied victory had been accomplished in Ger many. The report had been trans mitted through radio channels.
 No mention of the long-aWalted event came through on the news paper wires at presS-time today al- though by that hour the "rumor" had solidifled into a unified story comprised of special cabinet meet ing called by President Roosevelt who had announced that the wars end in Germany was & matter Of a few hours"
 General text of the report was that the war had ended as result of German collapse, or would end ln the course of a few hours. Leaders of the Allied Big-Three were said to be "standing-by prepared for the end of enemy resistance according to the report as it grew out of pro- portions at press-time.
 A similar "rumor" arose in Boston recently resulting in the barricad- ing of numerous store windows in the Hub city in accordance with a previously prepared plan for meet ing the reaction on V-Day. Prime Minister Winston Church. ill today informed Parliament, in what constituted coincidental refu ation of the rumor here, that nc Lpeace, terms would be offered Ger many and that no formal close oi the European phase of the wal would be enacted without joint agreement by leaders of the Big | Three.
 It has been anticipated that formal victory will likely not be announced unexpectedly but will be led up to over a matter of few days thus dissipating over 8 matter of time the probable explosive release of joy and wild enthusiasm which would normally come with such 6 report.

TANKS HALFWAY ACROSS REICH
EASY WIN OVER LAPS NOT SEEN
 BYFLEET HEAD
BY sANDOR S. KLEIN

Washington, March 27. = (UP) = The Pacific war is ahead oi expectations, Ad- miral Ernest J. King reported today.
 But he warned the Ameri- can people not to take for granted an easy victory over Japan even after the war in Europe is ended.
 The Commander-in-Chief of the U! s. Fleet also re- vealed in a repo't to Secre- tary of Navy James Forrestal that tentative plans for de- mobilization of naval person mel have been completed. However, he emphasized, de- mobilization in the Navy will not begin until the defeat ot Japan is at hand.
 While we rejoice in the reoccu- patton of Guam and of the Philip pines from which our forces were driven three years ago." he said, we must constantly realize that we are only now gaining position from which we can assault the heart or the Japanese strength.
 "Taat is our goal, and the enemy is w1lcome to know that we shall continue to press him with every means at our command. We must never forget that there is long, tough and laborious road ahead"
 The report, covering naval opera tions during the year ended March l. was the second of the war made by Ring. During that year, he noted, American forces advanced 5000 miles westward across the Pacific to the very approaches of Tokyo.
 Priority System Studied
 Regarding demobilization, King said the Navy is considering pri- ority system for the release Of men. It intends "when the time comes, to give due considerable nto length ot service, service outside the contin.. ental limits, combat service. and parenthood." This indicated the Navy intends to follow somewhat the same methods as the Army, which already has announced 8 priority basis for demobilization.

 Seems Likely

With British Second Army, Ger many, March 27 - CU.P0 - Ger man resistance appears to have col lapsed completely in the path of the British Second Army and there IS little now to prevent smashing armored break-through on the northern road to Berlin.
 There is no coherent enemy front facing the British south Of Rees, and the Germans seem to have used up all their mobile reserves in a vain effort to block the Rhine cross ing.
 The Second Army now has eight bridges across the Rhine and a large-scale breakthrough may come at any moment - as soon as Field Marshal Sir Bernard l.. Mont- gomery moves sufficient strength across those bridges.
 It is now clear that the Germans can do nothing more to stop us, and the situation on the Second Army front has become fluid"
 That means the Germans have suffered a major defeat which short ly may become a military disaster.
 Wire cages are going up as fast as possible to accommodate the masses of prisoners swarming in from all sides. Pockets of Germans are being by-passed to be mopped up later.
 British artillery is over the Rhine in force and smothering the enemys hastily-erected defenses. Night and day the skyline is ablaze from burning forests and farm houses.
 For six years have followed Bri- tish Armies, from Louvain down to Africa and back. waiting for the hour when I could hear news like today's.
 Even the most cautious officers are definite now in saying that the greater part of the German line op- posite us is gone. Correspondents are permitted to draw their own iri- ferences as to whether we are about to break the enemy wide open and drive for Berlin.

Three War Correspondents At Front-Don' Kno1u It

there were the brightly painted signs unmiStakably marking the highway.
 So we kept going until we came to burning German tank block ing the road. The crew members, some dead and some dying, were sprawled beside the road.
 Near the tank an American truck was parked and inside 1t were stacks of the freshly painted road signs.
 Just then the driver walked up and explained he had been marking the highway into Altenkirchen for the infantry. He said he was wor- ried now because he was unable to get around the tank and continue into Altenkirchen.
 We told him 1t was just as well for the town had not yet been captured.
 We admitted We were lost and asked the driver if he could direct us to the front.
 "Its right here, all around you" he said, waving his arm in Q circle.
 We didn't ask further questions. We just turned around and headed back along the trails of signs as fast as the jeep would go.

Gout. Seizure or Mines Rests on Extension Request

any of the UMW's IS new contract demands or the operators counter proposals.
 In letter to Ezra Van Horn, con- ference Chairman, Ickes called on both mine workers and operators to continue uninterrupted coal pro- duction under existing terms until May 1. He said 1t should be with the understanding that any wage adjustments approvable under the current wage policy shall be com- puted and applied retroactively from April l. 1945.
 The question of retroactive wage adjustments posed the conferences toughest problem.
 The Labor Department was be- lieved ready to turn the case over to the War Labor Board immediately if the parties fail to agree to the contract extension.
