Denmark Fall Imminent;
 German Army Opposing British Out Of Control
BY PHIL AULT

London, May 4. - (UP) = Nazi spokesmen said German resistance had ended in Hol- land today and the fall Of Denmark to the onrushlng British Second Army ap- peared imminent.
 Unconfirned reports from Paris and Stockholm said Field Marshal Sir Bernard L. Montgomery and leaders Of the Nazi regime Were meet ing somewhere in Denmark to negotiate the uncondl- tional surrender of what is left of the German armed forces.
 The Nazis themselves said the cease fire order had sounded in Holland and that British troops were sweeping unopposed through De en- mark.
 But a heavily-censored front dis patch from United Press War Cor respondent Richard D. McMill: Il gave even more conclusive evidence of the German collapse on the northern front
 The German army facing the British-Whioh includes the Ger man high commands out of con- trol," McMillan cabled
 The Germans are throW.rg away their arms by the hundreds of thousands, refusing to fight, trying to get home, or struggling to give themselves up as prisoners.
 lIcMillan said high German staff officers. most Of them prisoners, ad- nitted that Denmark was lost.
 Nazis Direct British
 In Hamburg, McMillan reported, armed German soldiers were direct ing British tanks arnored cars and supply conveys through the bomb battered streets, :, dicating their acep.ance Of the fact that they are ! beaten.
 Swedish reports told of spreading mutiny in the German army bar lacks at Copenhagen, and the NaAls' own radio at Wilheimshaven said the Hast hour of the war" had e-- rived
 McNIillan reported that the entire German high command had as senbled opposite the British forces in the north.

Bristol Cattle Dealers Nabbed

Bristol, Conn, May - tU.P) - Police held two cattle dealers and a farmer today, charging they were engaged in black market operations.
 Albert Bernstein, Bristol, and Jo- seph Baum, West Hartford, of the Bristol Livestock Company, were charged with bringing live cattle in- to the state and having slaughtered without being inspected and stamp ed by a veterinarian appointed by the State Commission of Domestic Animals.
 Charles J. Wiegert, a farmer, was accused of operating an unlicensed slaughtering house.
 Police Chief Edmund s. Crowley said that the cattle was butchered and sold without ration points ap- bearing anywhere in the transac- tions. He said that two live steers and two slaughtered steers were inn pounded at Wiegert's farm, and a quantity of other meat had been impounded in freezing plants throughout the city.
 State Police, the OPA and Office of the State Commissioner of De- mestic Animals took part in the in- vestigation which, Crowley said, might lead to other arrests.

 Trieste Back
By !. EDWARD MURRAY

Rome. May 4 - (U.P0 - Twenty thousand Italians paraded through the Piazza Venezia today demand- ing tbe return of Trieste to Italy after Yugoslav Marshal Tito chal- lenged Allied occupation of the port.
 lighting broke out between stu dents and Communists in front or the tomb of the unknown soldier. The Communists, who are consid- cred here to favor YugoSiav control Of Trieste, were coming down the steps of the tomb when they were set upon by students.
 Numerous minor injuries were suffered in the fight, waged with sticks and stones, virtually repetl- ton of similar clashes yesterday.
 The huge crowd of students, workers. and war veterans who demonstrated in the Piazza Venezia appealed against a monarch in Italy ana asked for a national assembly.
 But Trietste was the main theme, its seriousness underlined by Tito's strongly worded challenge to the Allied high command.
 A statement from Yugoslav army headquarters said that New Zea- land troops had occupied Trieste after its liberation by Yugoslav forces without our permission"
 The occupation might have un- desirable consequences unless tho matter is settled promptly by mu- tual agreement the statement said. lContinued on Page 4)

Honnegon Opposed

Washington, May 4.-(UP)- President Truman's nomination ot Democratic National Chairman Robert E. Hannegan as postmaster general was threatened with ks- publican opposition in the Senate today.
 The opposition, if it comes out into the open, is expected to be led by Sen. Forrest c. Donnell of Mis- souri.
 Donnell refused to discuss his plans in advance of Republican steering committee meeting today before which he and other COP Senate freshmen were invitd to ap- pear.
 It was reported, however, that he was behind a Republican move which blocked Hannegans confn- nation by the Senate yesterday.
 These reports said that Donneil is considering a motion to send the nomination back to the Senate postoffice committee for public hearings to air Missouri political figlis in his election as g'vernor in 194O.
 At that time Hannegan was io- cal Democratic leader in St. Louis home of the Missouri senator.

Stassen May
 Run On Cop s 1948 Ticket
By LYLE C. WILSON

San Francisco, May = tUPo- This United Nations conference is making American political history today with the enlergence of Lieu tenant Commander Harold E. Stas- sen as the powerhouse Of the Amer icar delegation.
 He is junior member in every thing except political significance Stasscn plays his role here before a picked audience of American rews,nen and top flight politicians from all over the world. He IS judged by observers to be moving fast toward rail position in the ls46 race for Republican presidential nomllation.
 Stassen is 33 years old, He was first elected governor of Minnesota when only g., Campaigning for re- election after the war began, Stas- sen tcld the voters that he would resign shortly tc join the Navy and he did so, leaving his political or ganization in the capable hands o1 Edward J. Thye who moved up from the lieutenant governorship.
 For the record, Stassen made a campaign for the 1914 Republican presidential nomination. something like the frontporch strategy invent ed by William B. Mckinley. The difference, however, was that Stas- sens front porch was the bridge of Admiral William F. Halseys flag ship in the Nays hell for leather task force 50.
 With his status as a war veteran firmly established in the Navy's tre- mendous sweep through the Pacific Stassen's packers figure him as bet ter than merely a 194S challenge to Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York.
 Observers here who were familiar with the shrewd logic with which Frank Delano Roosevelt approached all political problems are wondering if the late President will not in the end prove to have been the major factor in selecting both the Repub- lican and Democratic presidential

Proaress On Pole Regime Farley Hope
By R. H. SHACKFORD

San Francisco, May 4-(UP)-The Polish question again dominated the United Nations Conference to- cay with reports of sufficient change in Russia's attitude to raise Anglo American hopes for real pro- gress toward a solution.
 Russia apparently had abandoned her position of arguing the inter- pretaticn of the Yalta agreement on Poland and was now discussing who the Polish commission should consult in it's efforts to reorganize the Soviet-bac1ed Warsaw Polish regime.
 Soviet Premier Josef Stalin re- portedly agreed to bring StanislaW Mikola jczyk. former premier of the London exile regime. into the ais cussions Mokolajczyl. has Anglo American approval and his presence in the negotiations would be count ed a good sign here.
 Stalin also was said to be amen able to admission of two other Lon- don Poles in the talks-Tadeusz Rover. former Ambassador to Mos COW, and StanislaW GrabSki, for spokesman for the London govern- ment who withdrew from that group after a disagreement.
 The Russians have not agreed to take those men into the Warsaw government. The agreement. if any, is that they shall be brought into the talks about reorganizing the regime. For that reason, American officials qualify their optimism with the awareness that a deadlock can again occur.

U. 5. Resumes Offensive On Okinowa Isle
By FRANK TREMAINE

Guam, May 4-(UP)-Fresh ele- mentS of the First Marine Division started through strong Japanese de- lenses on the west coast of Okinawa today to within mile from Mana, capital of the island.
 A sizeable force of B-29 Super fortresses raided southern Kyushu and Shikoku, Japanese home islands, again today in an attempt to neutralize bases for Japanese suicide planes which sank two more American light fleet units in the OkinaWa area last night. The at- tack on Kyushu was the second in 24 hours and the 18th in 18 days.
 Four units of the First Marine Division, thrown into the southern OkinaWa battle only several days ago, led new 10th Army offensive against an estimated 30,000 Japan csc entrenched in strong defenses before Mana.
 A front dispatch said the Marines, pushing down the rugged west coast sector, were nearing the Asa river, last natural barrier before Naha and only little more than a half mile from the city.
 The breakthrough by the Mar ines was the first major gain of the American forces since It. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr., brought the Marine division and fourth army division into the battle.
 The drive along the remainder of the five-mile line stretched across OkinaWa between Naha and Yonabaru on the east coast was virtually stalled, however, by strong artillery, mortar and small arms fire from the Japanese 'Maginot type" pillboXes.
 Front reports said the Japanese were fighting particularly fierce on Sawtooth Ridge, about mile and a half northeast of Naha. There the American troops encountered some pillboXes, three-StorieS deep with ln- dividual electric plants.
 Admiral Chester w. Nimitz mean time disclosed that 1,13l officers and men of the Pacific fleet had been killed in action in the Okinawa campaign, while 2,816 were wounded and 1,604 missing.
 Nimitz said the figures were pre- liminary and incomplete, covering

The prisoners had been on the march several days when the Nazis heard the 18th armored tanks ap- preaching the Inn river and decided to skip. No one had any idea where the Germans were trying to take them.
 Only few guards were left with the unwieldy mass of prisoners. Scores of helpless litter cases were left unsheltered in bitter wind and biting rain.
 The Americans managed to shift for themselves, but hundreds of other prisoners, either too i'll or too weak to move, were in desperate condition when help arrived.
 After the Germans left, the pri- soners started liberating themselves When they heard the American tanks coming, some slipped past the guards, who later quit, and ran down the road to small group of correspondents.
 Sgt. Lee E. Burroughs, Glasgow, Mont, threw his arms around News week correspondent John Terrell, shouting:
 Boy are we glad to see you guys. :"
 With Burroughs were Sgt. John J. Katuzney, Meriden, Conn; Sgt. John E. Wasche, Perham, Minn., Sgt. Malfred Galassg 1914 Herring avenue) Bronx, N. Y.

Fovoritism Shown In Issuing Permits

Hartford, Con-, May - U.P) - Mayor William H. Mortensen today ordered removal from office of three members of the zoning commission on charges they showed favoritism in issuing liquor permits.
 The commissioners are J. Edmund Rousseau, Harold F. Mccall and Louis w. Dinapoli, all Democrats The discrimination charges re- suited from a complaint of Isadore Gershberg that he had twice been denied liquor permit while two others were granted in his imme- diate neighborhood.
 Mortensen told the commissioners that T am fully convinced that the public interest requires your re- moval. It is my stern duty as chief executive of the city of Hartford to forestall such conduct in the fu- ture."

OPA Played By Truman
BY RAYMOND LAIR

Washington, May 4-(UP)-Dem- ocratic G., greSSional leaders today interpreted White House moves this week as an indication that Presi- dent Truman would not run away from a fight despite his avowed de- termination to cooperate with Con- gress.
 There was no attempt to forecast breach between Congress and the chief executive. However. these de- velopments on successive days led to the conclusion that MT. Truman would not lean over backwards to appease some segments of Congress:
 l. He aroused resentment among some critics of the Office of Price Administration by denouncing ire sponsible' criticism of that agency
 2. He renominated David Lilien- thai to head the Tennessee Valley Authority despite the opposition oi Senate President Kenneth McKellar D., Tenn.
 3. He vetoed a bill which would have required draft deferments fol | irreplaceahle farm workers regard less of their need by the armed forces. The measure had been ap' proved by both House and Senate with only feeble opposition.
 The House upheld MT. Truman veto late yesterday with a vote o 1855 to TIT on the motion to over ride. A slim majority favored over throwing the veto, but 1t fell ia short of the necessary two-thirds. breakdown showed 164 Democrat l2 Republicans and one American

Won kIeist Surrenders

With tthe Third Army, May A. CUP)-Field Marshal EWald Won Kleist, commander of German army group A and mastermind of the German invasion of Poland, drove into the American lines and 5ur- rendered to the 18th Infantry Di- vision today.
 He was accompanied by his wife and aide.
 The 63-year old marshal was trembling from what Army officers believed to be the after-effects oI too many drugs. The draWeic ol his Mitterfels home were found filled with hypodermic needles and morphine.
 He drove into the American linos in a natty car filled with 25 hand bags and plenty of gasoline. He said ne might have escaped, but decided to surrender now so that he might be spared the embarrassment of being captured later in the ples- ence Of retreating German soldiers.
 Von Kleist said all he knew about was OAAy WiloO ACdN IA tlIC papers, He was helped to adJuat his coiorful capes by his aid :, Capt. Won Seydlitz, cousin of Sen Walter Von Seydlitz.
 The marshal seemed embarrassed when mention was made of h.5 ill lated Caucasus campaign, which was largely responsible for his .all- ing from favor with the Nazis.
 But when he was given sn ordin- ary piece of G. I. bread he said You really shouldn't go to all this trouble to make white bread for me-"
 Von Kleist, equivalent in ranl: to an American five-star general, at first refused to surrender to t1o privates from the 328th regiment He wanted an officer. But their guns broke down his fiVe-Star reserve,

Yank Troops Enter Dovoo
By RICHARD c. HARRIS

Manila, May 4.-(UP)-Austral- 4. ian troops battled through the out skirts of smoking Tarakan city on Tarakan island of Borneo today against strongly resisting Japanese forces.
 At the same time American troops on Mindanao, in the southern Philippines, brought their campaign to the climactic phase by driving into Davao, last major occupied city in the island.
 Coastal guns and ammunition dumps were seized intact by the 24th Division in entering the port at the head of Davao gulf. The Japa- nese, who have put up little resist ance during the Mindanao cam paign, were reported retreating north of Davao, indicating the city may be quickly occupied.
 On Tarakan, rich oil center 400 miles southwest of Mindanao, Aus tralian forces ran into tough re- sistance as they pushed to the out skirts of Tarakan city and drove to the edge of the airfield, three miles to the northwest.
 United Press Correspondent H. D. Quigg reported from Tarakan that the Japanese were fighting tenaci- ously to hold the city, even firing from positions atop derricks in the Paomesian oil fields.
 Tokyo radio reported that three Allied cruisers and about 10 destroy CTS were continuously smelling the Japanese lines from Tarakan bay.
 The Australian drive was ham, pered by an elaborate system of land mines and booby traps, which front reports described as equalling or surpassing that used by the Japa- nese in any other Pacific operation.
 In northern Luzon, 33rd Division forces made a junction south of Baguio on the Kennon road, main highway to Manila from the north The road was not open to traffic however, because six bridges were blasted by the Japanese.
 In the aerial campaign through the southwest Pacific, Allied bomb e:s again raided Formosa. and sank IA ships around Borneo, another of1 Hong Kong and one of Celebes.

A petition supported by some seventy residents of the Watervllle area for a change of zone to pre- vent the construction of two indus trial plants and one commercial plant in the area concerned will be heard before the zoning committee of the Board of Aldermen tonight at 7:3O. The meeting, open to the public, will be conducted in the city's aldermanic chambers before the committee comprised of Alder men: Gerardi, Tehan, Sullivan, Hbercrombie and Lasky.
 The three concerns involved are the Cashin Dairy, the Precision Screw Machine Co.,, now located at 35 Brown Place and the Polyme- tric Mfg. Co.,, located, at present, at l23 Maple street.
 The petition as drawn up by the residents of Homer, Bryon, Dwight, Hanover and Dixon streets, seeks a change of zone, by means, of two appeals, (one) for the north side of Homer street, from Cooke street, to Thomastn avenue from busi- ness zone to a residential B" area and (two) a change for the south side of Homer street, from Cooke street, to Waterville street, from a c com b n ation industrial-business zone to a residential B" area.
 George Baronian, local realtor, who sold the property to the three concerns will appear at tonight's S meeting as representative of the Polymetric Co.,, and others.
 The concerns purchased the land, it was stated, with the understand ing it was an industrial and busl- ness area and no zoning obstacles would interfer with their plans for building.

 On Surrender Gain saaDe+us
By BOYD D. LEWIS

Paris, May 4-CUP)-Nazi spokes- men announced the end of German resistance in Holland today and ne- gotiations for a general German surrender were reported under way in Denmark
 British troops already were swarming Denmark. where Marshal Sir Bernard L. Montgomery and the new Naiz fuehre-, Admiral Karl Doenitz were reported negotiating a general surrender; and American Seventh Army troops were moving across the Brenner Pass into Italy from the north.
 The German-controlled Oslo radio said the cease firing" order had bean sounded in western Holland, halting all fighting in the Rotter- dam. Amsterdam and the Hague triangle still held by the Nazis.
 Oslo said al "armistice' had been signed by the Allied and German commanders in Holland, indicatin that the enemy had surrendered internationally.
 Capitulation in HollaDd would leave the Germans only three ma jor pockets Of resistance on the European continent - Denmark 1 Norway and Czechoslovakia. l British Second Army troops al- ready were racing 15 miles or more into Denmark Jutland peninsula and American Third Army troops ii, the south were closing fast on the Aus 5rian citadel of Linz, threaten ing momentarily to linl: up with the Russians and envelop all Czecho- slovakia
 At the same time. the U. s. Sev- eIlth Army rammed down through the Brenner Pass into Italy and captured Salzburg, headquarters of the southern national redoubt Il miles nc-th of Be-chtesgaden.
 Salzburg capitulated to the Amer jeans without a fight and CRS broadcast relayed from the front said the Tanks pushed on to within five miles-essy artillery range of Berchtesgaden.
