THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE

The boys out in the foXholes took it on the chin from a house minority last week but the big ma iority rolled to their support dur ing a pro and con discussion on certain funds in the appropriation bill. Pot started boiling when an item of S8OO,OOO for roads came up and was immediately followed by heated discussion of S60,0OO in the budget for travel for prospectors.
 Majority thought these appro- priations should not be lowered, thus helping in preparing the way for returning service men in Terri toria1 development. Minority voiced the opinion the veterans of World War IT should come back to nome and country just as they left It. Representatives Krause of hetchl- kan. Anderson of Nome, Mrs. cross of Deering and others spoke against cutting the mines and road budget stressing the value of new roads and opening of new mining areas "for the boys to come home to.
 Rut the mind of Representative Alaska Linek was not on the klds dying on Two Jima and on another dozen global fronts. Said the gal representative from Fairbanks:
 "Pm getting sick and tired ol hearing about returned veterans. IL seems to me you all are just using tbeir names in vain. My idea IS to keen the budget down and when tbe veterans come home we can have a special session to get them more money if they need it.
 Dr c. A. Pollard, representative from Palmer, was on his feet and pounding his desk.
 Here We are," he declared sit ting around here making more money than a lot of Us ever made in our lives while our boys are over there dying in foxholes. Whats money compared to their sacrifices? I say we are towards II we don't have things ready for them when they get home. want those appropriations left as they are"
 Representative Curtis Shattuck said he had talked to two veterans Of the Pacific and learned that what the men overseas were most interested in was to get home, and his opinion was they wanted to come back to a home just as they left if. Amer Peterson called 1t "flag waving," but the majority felt that now was the time to plan for the boys, and Mrs. Cross ex- pressed it. mot wait until the boys come home broke, looking for work and many of them crippled for life."
 Score was for the veterans, but it revealed there are members of the legislature who value the dol lar very. very high, all of which bodes not too well for veteran leg islatiOn.

Rhine Crossing Called Great Military Coup;
 Patton Plans Trap

PARIS - American first army steadily reinforced and built up it's Rhine bridgehead at a point south or Cologne. The Germans said 1t IS Remagen, PIT miles southwest of Berlin. The Germans said the Am ericans captured the bridge intact at Remagen. The Ludendorf span has a double track railroad bridge capable of bearing tanks, trucks and foot troops
 Berlin military spokesman said the first army troops found the bridge which by chance" was not destroyed
 Remagen is about midway be- tween invested Bonn and threat ened Coblenz.
 Of the crossing the Berlin radio said, At Remagen the Americans succeeded in crossing 10 the east ern bank of the Rhine. These were relatively weak LISA. forces which penetrated on the eastern bank and their advance guards were halted by German positions before the town of Linz"
 Linz is three miles east of Re magen where the Ludendorf rail bridge was intact only two days ago.
 Supreme headquarters continued the strict secrecy. This much is known, however. Through the more than 45 shrouded hours since in- tantry first crossed at 3:5O pm. Wednesday, one of the greatest military strokes since the invasion of Normandy, General Hodges has been pouring troops by the thou sands (17 words censoredD into the east bank bridgehead, which pre- sumably is a good five miles deep and wider than that up to the lat est reports from supreme headquar- ters, and covering the action well into Thursday evening.
 The Germans neither are able 70 rally enough strength for figbt- ing stand nor get enough troops to the danger point for serious eoua- terattacks, although three small ones were mounted.
 General Patton's aggressive third army oyerran two-thirds of the Co blenz plain and seized Miesenheim. l5 miles south of Remagen. With the first army he is rapidly forg- ing a trap around perhaps 5O.Ooo Germans caught in his audacious plunge to the Rhine near Coblenz

As it came up against the 4Oth day, final day for introduction of hills without a two-thirds major ity, 17th legislature was still to hurdle it's toughest barrier - the problem of raising money T h e senate nonchalantly kicked the in" come tax bill out the window by definite postponement. Thls coupled with the real property tax and the graduated tax on fish traps was expected to go a long way toward solving the biennial financial headache. The only other revenue raiser was the Wh1skey tax. boosting the stamp levy on harI liuuor to two dollars per gal lon. This had passed the senate. II it is successful the rest Of the way it might move the yield from wh1s- key I'D to a million dollars for the biennium. The budget board had estimated it at $800,0O0. Fish trap tax might bring in another half million and possibly half million could be anticipated from the real property tax. But the House hau all appropriations bill before it calling for $6,174,O68. And before both houses were measures aimed toward the development of the Territory caring for veterans, expanding the general economy; all calling tor money. What would happen was anybody's guess, but it wasn't d br ght picture. There was indtca' ton Alaska might continue tc tumble along; waiting for the fed, eral government to spend the money. It was a perfect setul against the promotion of statehood for should the federal government move in with a development pro gram it would be purely federa program.

PARTS-The American first army crossed the Rhine south of Cologne Wednesday night and secured il firm footing on the east bank of the great German barrier stream. u. Gen. Hodges poured more and more infantrymen across the river after his sudden sensational cross ing in the darkness. The exact To- cation of the bridgehead over the quarter mile wide river is shrouded by military censorship because the Germans obviously didn't know the exact situation.
 Crossing of the river started at 4:3O pm. Wednesday and in Ia. hours since then a steady strea4 of men and material have bt u pouring onto the eastern bauE, moving forward in a drive to gat a bridgehead out of artillery rangs of the enemy.
 During the first 24 hours little artillery or mortar fire was direct ed at the beachhead, indicating the enemy was in confusion when they fled back across the river from the ashes of Cologne before Hodges hard-driving divisions. First army infantrymen spanned the quarter mile river against light opposition before the startled Germans could grasp what had happened, Associ- ated Press correspondent Wes Gal lagher said.
