The bank, q Federal Insurance
Corp. member, notified the FBI
Monday morning when employees
found the box rifled OF all cash.
Checks and empty money bags were
left in it.
With the cooperation Of District
police, the FBI agents said they dis
covered that three pin settlers had
been giving money to their friends
and found that one of them had
bought an automobile.
In giving up the cash in their
pockets, which amounted to more
than $1,000, the two youths admit
ted, according to the FBI, that it
came from the night deposit drawer
of the bank.
The two will be arraigned later
today In Juvenile Court.
The boys, the FBI agents said
sometimes slept on the second floor
of the bowling alley, the roof of
which is on the same level as the
bank.
Agents checked merchants who
hold keys to the box, mostly food
store men, and found that the total
deposit Saturday night was more
than $1,000.

NEW YORK, April 25.-Lowell
Thomas, NBC news commentator
few over Berlin yesterday and said
last night in broadcast from Paris
that the German capital was "in
flames from one end to the other"
with the exception of the Potsdam
area.
Mr.. Thomas said he flew over the
city in a Psi Mustang reconnais-
-sance plane, with another fighter as
escort, at 5000 feet.
Just below an artillery duel was
going on" he said. Heavy guns on
both sides were going all out, with
dense clouds of smoke rolling over
Berlin.
"Potsdam and the southern side
of Berlin seemed comparatively un-
damaged, while the rest of Berlin is
blazing from end to end"
Mr.. Thomas said that on the way
back from Berlin he saw an en-
Fcampment of 10000 to 10000 un-
armed Germans heading through
the corridor between the Russians
and Americans toward the American
lines and added that when the
Germans reach our lines it will be
the largest mass surrender of this
war" He said the encampment,
now near Wuerzen, had been spot
ted Monday by American pilots and
was expected to reach American
lines shortly.

At Regen, the spearheads were 80

Headquarters did not pinpoint the

Reeen, which is 80 miles to the
north.
Sd Army Captures 10000.
The Sd Army took 10000 prisoners

Nearly all the roads and rails from
the Pilsen-Prague area to the Pa-

On all fronts Monday, Allied head
quarters said 39,039 prisoners were
taken, raising the total for April
alone to 1,034,S8l and since D day
to 1884 ,586. That was a rate Of
