 NEWS NOW
 TO ALASKA
Empire Receives Asso(iaf. ed Press Copy by
 Telefype

SEATTLE, May 1.-Two Southeast Alaska newspapers and two radio stations began direct radio-tele- type service from Seattle today in an extension of high-speed modern news transmission to the Northern Territory.
 The Ketchikan Chronicle and the Juneau Empire, both Associated Press members, receive news by teletype from AP, while radio sta- tions KINY at Juneau and KTKN at Ketchikan are served by Press Association, AP's radio subsidiary
 The new service means a speed up in news delivery giving these Southeast Alaska points press ser vice comparable to that received by newspapers and radio stations in the States. It was made possible by cooperation of the U. s. Army Signal Corps Alaska Communica- tions System, which is utilizing latest transmission facilities.
 Direct teletype service was started last January to newspapers and radio stations at two other Alaska cities, Anchorage and Fairbanks.
 At Seattle, news is taken from trunk wires which reach across the nation, and is relayed immediately to the Alaska circuits.

ROME, May l = New Zealand troops, driving toward a junction with Tito's Partisans at Trieste, are reported more than Is miles beyond the Piave River, as Allied troops continued their lightning cleanup of Northern Italy.
 The only fighting reported of- ficially in North Italy yesterday was in the area north of Lake Garda, where Nazis are attempting to hold back the American drive toward the Brenner Pass, gateway to Aus tria.
 An Allied Headquarters spokes- man said the enemy apparently is attempting to re-assemble his dis jointed force at a point on this route in order to attempt the long, tortuous march up into the Alps" Units of the U. s. Tenth Mountain Division pressed their drive north ward in the direction of Trento and the Brenner Pass, after the Eighty Sixth Mountain Infantry Regiment captured the towns of Riva, Torbole and Nago at the northern end of Lake Garda.
 At the, same time, the Eighth Armys Twenty Seventh Lancers struck north from Mestre, passed through Treyiso, crossed the Piave River after seizing bridge near Nervesa, then pushed hard in the direction of Austria.
 The Eighth Army took about 10,- 900 prisoners yesterday, alone. Some 12,000 prisoners, among them four Major Generals, are in the U. S. First Armored Divisions bag in the "A hours up to last night.

Russians Celebrating
 May Day as WarEndin
 Sight; StaIin Is (heered

MOSCOW, May Premier Josef Stalin, dressed in steel-gray summer uniform, and standing on Lenin's shining red marble tomb in Kremlin Square, led the Soviet Union in one of the greatest May Day celebrations in the history of the 27-year-old Soviet Govern ment.
 Stalin was greeted with thunder ous applause when he appeared and again as he left the top of the tomb. He joked with his associates and members of the diplomatic corps.
 This May Day celebration was one of the greatest because the people expected the war to end soon. In the words of Stalin, the Red Army, with it's American and British allies, has smashed the Wehrmacht and carried the battle into the heart of Germany, and won the respect of freedom-loving peoples throughout the world.
 Gen. Alexei Antonov, Chief of Staff, who spoke during the cele- bration, declared, flor the first time in this war our Motherland is completely and forever cleared of the enemy"
 Thousands of men, tanks, guns and military vehicles paraded Red Square, while overhead Russian planes roared and a 1,200-piece band played.
 Stalin issued a general order-of- the-day, proclaiming an end to Hitler's Germany is imminent, and vowing the destruction of Fascism by the United Nations.

MANILA, May = Overrunning enemy gun emplacements, the Twenty Fourth Division Doughboys swept to within IT miles of Davao City Sunday, while guerrillas seized the -mile-long Talkikud Island, nine miles off the big Min danao port.
 Yank forces drove 10 miles from Digos up the western shore of Davao Gulf against disorganized resistance, as Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur reported the extensive sys- tenn of anti-aircraft positions were left intact.
 Coastal guns seized in the ad- vance indicated the Japanese had expected and had prepared for an assault on Davao Gulf proper, but instead the Americans came over land from Moro Gulf, landing with little opposition which surprised the who had expected stiff fight for Davao, one of the major ports of the Philippines.
 PIT boats, darting swiftly into the bay, again shelled shore posi- tions, while on northern Luzon the Twenty Seventh Division which helped take Baguio Friday, pushed five miles north to seize La Trini- dad, where the Japanese once had a large concentration camp.
 The Thirty Third Division, mean while, drove east and south to se- cure the enemy strongpoint topside Loacan airfield. Japanese resistance in that area has practically ceased, Gen. MacArthur reported.

StaIin Announces Final Assau|t" as Reds Make
 Supreme Bid for Berlin

LONDON, May 1.-Victory- flushed Soviet troops made surprise bid to deal the death blow to flaming Berlin this May Day. Tn the words of Premier Stalin, it is the final assault" from the ashes of the Reichstag fire in 1883.
 Himmler's Ministry of the Inter- for is in Russian hands, as Red Army troops laid siege to Hitlers underground fortress in the Tier garten Russians are at the Bran denburg Gate, the Berlin triumphal arch, and across the Spree River from Berlin's Cathedral.
 Diehard German remnants, conn., pressed in the center of burning inferno, stubbornly were keeping street crossings under murderous crossfire, killing in the process the civilian population of the city,
 A supplementary Moscow com- munique said the German Command has declared the Berlin garrison "rallying around our Fuehrer, com- pressed in a small space fought on against superior Soviet arms"
 Stalin made the triumphant an- nouncement that the Germans have lost million men killed and 800,- GOO captured, on the Eastern Front during the last three or four months. He further said the Nazis have also lost 5000 planes, 12,000 tanks and a, 1000 cannon.

The Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON nt. Col. Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army.

SAN FRANCISCO - San Fran cisco down by the waterfront where ships sail in from the Pacific, a long line of hospital trains wait in the railroad yards. Large red crosses are painted on the side of each car. Uniformed nurses are inside. Si- lently, carefully, the cars are shunted alongside incoming ships ships from Okinawa, Saipan and Guam, bringing the wounded home
 Almost every day they come in and are rolled out. noiselessly, ten- derly, boys who will never fight again, some boys who viii never work again, all boys who hope there will be no war again.
 A mile or so away from the waterfront, sit the representatives of 46 nations trying to make that hope come true. It is a conference which the world has awaited so eagerly; for which the State De- partment has planned so carefully Fifty officials have been here for a week oiling the diplomatic ma chinery. An unlimited budget has been at their disposal. The city of San Francisco has thrown all its hospitable energy into roofing for the Conference.
 Yet it got off to discouraging start. There has been something lacking--no spark, no contagious enthusiasm, no great personality to lift things out of the doldrums of diplomatic routine.
 Perhaps it was the absence of that magic personality, which even in his old age and ill-health, could inspire an assemblage to the heights of achievement Perhaps it was the lack of a great dynamic leader. At any rate the early ses- sions featured the same cut-and- dried formal futility as the frock-

 PEACE NEAR
Makes Statement in House of Commons, Reply
 ing 10 Question

LONDON, May 1.-Premier Win ston Churchill hinted an announce ment of peace in Europe might come before Saturday. but told a packed House of Commons he had no state ment to make at this time.
 He answered questions in the House, as Swedish Count Poke Bernadotte conferred in Stockholm with Brick Boheman, Under Secre- tary of State at the Swedish For eign Office, after a quick flight from Copenhagen.
 Replying to a question by House member, Churchill declared T have no special statement to make on the war position in Europe, except that it is definitely more satisfactory than at this time five years ago."
 He then added he might make a brief announcement later this week, but "only if information of excep- tional importance reaches us.'
 From Free Danish underground sources at Malmoe, on the southern coast of Sweden, meanwhile, came reports that German forces are al- ready beginning to move out of Copenhagen with the apparent in- tention of abandoning Denmark The same sources said a conference between Swedes, Danes and Ger mans was held all through last night at King Christians castle in Copen- hagen, pointing toward possible Ger man surrender.

SAN FRANCISCO, May lover stern Russian objections, the United Nations Conference voted 31 to last night to give Argentina a.place immediately in it's peace-shapine councils.
 Eloquently, but in vain, Russian Foreign Commissar Molotov hao pleaded that the ballot be de- layed, that there hadn't been time enough for Russia to study Argen- tinas case. He questioned whether the South American country was free of Fascism.
 And, he said, if Argentina is to be invited to send statesmen to San Francisco, so, too, should the Russian-recognized Polish Govern ment.
 There was measure of consola- ton for the aggressive Russian, however, in the fact that the con- ference approved with scarcely a ripple the admission of the Soviet White Russian and Ukrainian Re- publics to the conference.
 Belgian's Foreign Minister, Paul Henry Spaak, urged delegates to heed Molotov's bid for delay to preserve precious unity" among nations sponsoring the conference Russia, Britain, China and the United States.
 But Secretary of State Stettinius and horde of atin-Americans sprang to the support of Argen- tina.
 And when it came to a show down, there were 28 votes against delay, and then only in opposition to issuing Argentina an immediate invitation to the conference.
 Eleven nations did not vote.
 Russia had swung the votes only of Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Greece. Not even Belgium went along. And when the result was announced, Molotov and his fellow Russians stalked from the glitter ing auditorium of San Francisco's Opera House with Czech Foreign Minister Masaryk and Yugoslavia' s Subbasic.
 Stettinius aligned himself square ly against Molotov, declaring Ar gentina had complied with condi- tions laid down at an inter- -Ameri- can conference at Mexico City for joining the family of nations
 "The American representatives, he said, feel that Argentina has complied with this requirement and desire that Argentina be repre- sented."
 Applause sputtered through the hall when Stettinius said his gov ernment "concurs in the desires of her sister American Republic"
