prevent the transfer of men to jobs
requiring lower skill while main
tanning the wage rate of the higher

The committee also heard furth-
err testimony from George Romney,
managing director of the automo-
tive council for war production,
who charged that unions were
"thwarting efforts to get produc-

ADVANCED H E ApQUARTERS,
March 0.-(R3-Half of the city OF
Mandalay, including its northern
and eastern sectors, was in Allied
hands today as the 10th Indian Dl-
vision continued its attack on Japa-
nese defenses in the center of the
town.
Resistance increased as the en-
envy apparently recovered from the
surprise achieved by the 18th in
it's southwark plunge from Man
daya, but it was unclear whether
the Japanese action was merely a
rearguard fight to cover retreat
or whether the enemy intends to
make a house-to-house fight for
Mandalay.
Mandaiay hill, dominating the
city on the east, was completely
cleared of Japanese after sharp
and bitter fighting.
Disorganized parties of japanese
north and east of the city were
being annihilated. These groups
have been operating as snipers on
the flanks of supply columns, but
have not been effective in retard-
ing Allied operations.
Northeast of Mandalay, elements
of the 36th British division closed
in on Mongrnit, an important road
junction south of the Schweli river,
the closest column being five miles
from the town.
In the Meiktila area south of
Mandalay British troops were
pushing out along all roads radia-
ting from the city. Several Japa-
nese roadblocks were smashed.

Sunday, March II. - up -
American troops gained ais
most a mile in the Remagen
bridgehead east of the Rhine
yesterday while collapse of
the German west bank BRIDGE
head opposite Vessel and the
mop-up of trapped pockets in
the Eifel region dealt new
blows to the apparently fast
ebbing German defense which
may foreshadow an early end
of the war in Europe.
The Yanks across the Rhine at
Remagen made their advances -
deepening and lengthening their
already powerful bridgehead -
against the desperate opposition
of enemy armor and infantry rush.

vent the U. S. First Army forces
from rolling up the entire German
Rhine line from the rear.
On the basis Of Associated Press
front dispatches from Remagen
early today, the Americans are
punching inland and along the riv.

morale, have not yet brought sui.
ficient strength into the bridgehead
area to halt the attackers.

From the Netherlands front came

possible naval attacks on the Dutch
coast, the Germans have decided
to abandon all Of Holland south
