Ninth Army Takes Magdeburg
Within 81 Miles OF Berlin

Essen, largest of the Ruhr's IN
dustrial cities with a preWar pop
ulation of 659,871, was captured
by parachute troops of the Ameri-
can 18th Airborne Division, who on
Tuesday crossed a pontoon bridge
over the Rhine-Herne canal and
entered the shattered metropolis
under command of Col. Edison Raj
of New York City.
In announcing the capture OF the
second largest city yet to fall into
Allied hands, the First Airborne
Army said that German civilians
milling through Essen's rubbed
streets were jubilant at the arrival
of the Americans and offered them
bottles of wine as they moved be-
tween buildings decorated with
white flags.
There was scarcely any resist
ance inside Essen and isolated
groups of Nazis were rounded up
quickly. Overturned streetcars
blocked ailr underpasses
throughout the city and its boule-
wards and parks were in ruins, an
official announcement said. The
Ruhr town of Herne, just north of
Bochum, fell to the 35th Division.
Resistance in Dortmund (pop.

afternoon after four days of street
fighting. Attacking toward the
southwest, the Eighth Armored Di-

the Moline river at Neheim.
It was reported that the Krupp

been destroyed by Allied bombing

and as many times rebuilt. They
employed 100000 workmen.
One of the days greatest prizes
was the huge Messerschmitt plane

Thousands of slave laborers were

Many of the plants were under

sions.
Capture of Coburg placed the
Third Army only 48 miles from the
old border of Czechoslovakia. The
German garrison at first refused
even to consider demand for its
surrender, but quickly changed its
mind when a flight of American

BY LYLE c. WILSON

Munich, Germany, June @-(UP) Defeated Germany and perhaps all of Europe are headed for black, cold winter of political and eco- homie crisis.
 The sun shines brightly on Vest ern Europe now. Fore-sighted Ger mans still are adding to their al- lotted food rations by eating into the stores they stole or hoarded be- fore defeat.
 Except for the physical destruc- ton of cities, industries and facil- ities, things do not look so badly in the old world. Some Germans actually are eating bit better than most Europeans, certainly better than the average Frenchman. Ger mans have meat.
 There has been a food crisis in Western Germany-the Ruhr and Rhineland regions where war wash ed over the country side. But strict rationing is easing that. Here in the largest city of the American occupied zone life goes on even though about half the city has been bombed down and some 400O0 or more residents died at one time or another in the explosions.
 It is to next winter that the eco nomists look with dread both for Germany and other European coun- tries. Our best informed experts point sadly to the coal famine which still is acute in Europe. It will re- main acute through next winter un- less someone sends in coal and in vast quantities. Europe's manu- featuring economy is largely based on coal. The great Ruhr mines capable of producing more than 100, 900 900 tons a year are coming up at pitiful rate of 1000, 900 tons Strictly rationed as they are, the Ruhr miners may refuse to pro duce at maximum capacity. The pits themselves are in pretty good ] shape.
 France needs coal as desperately as does Germany Right now none knows where she is to get 1t. By winter time the Germans will have eaten through CnelT iOou hoard and will be dependent on their basic ration. It is $50 calories day in the American occupied zone right now. Amplified from boarded food, it is estimated that Germans in Munich average 1,250 calories day.
 Col. Charles E. Keegan, regional military governor, is the boss of 1 Munich. Keegan used to be a re- porter on the New York Morning world. He is a Brooklyn real estate operator and politician in peace time and hopes soon to return to those pursuits. Keegan permits small shops to do business in Munich. Some electrical businesses were re- opened to help repair the city's facilities. East and west trains have been running through Munich for fortnight but no German may ride them.
