MAGDEBURG, April 10. - The
ancient city of Magdeburg was in
American hands today after the last
fanatical Hitler youth and sullen
civilian resister had been captured
or burned to death by fame throw
ing tanks.
Troops of the American 30th (Old
Hickory Division overran the city
bank yesterday and discovered con-
siderable art treasures and $28,-
100000 worth of Germany currency
and silver.
Part of the city still was burning
from the latest Allied air attacks as
the 9th Army's I'd Armored and
30th Infantry Divisions gathered in
about 1000 soldier defenders of the
town and killed considerable num-
bers of Hitler's juvenile warriors and
Nazi civilians who had turned rifle
aand bazooka fire against the
Americans.
This was the first time that civil
ians have been caught using the
bazooka weapops-panzerfausts-in
large numbers. Apparently the
Germans were trying to turn the
panzerfaust INTO a guerrilla weapon.
Flame throwing tanks were
brought into the town yesterday
morning and what resistance was
left quickly disintegrated. Ameri-
can casualties were light, despite
the extensive use of the panzer-
fausts.
These people have really gone to
town with the panzerfaust," said

LONDON, April 19.-German
railway targets in the Southern
Reich and in Czechoslovakia
were attacked today for the
fourth successive day by 600
United States 9th Air Force
heavy bombers and $50 fighters,
which also continued to search
for remnants of German air

tween a night-long series of raids
by Soviet airmen.

A strong force of RAF heavy
bombers, meanwhile, blasted Nazi
escape railways between American
and Russian armies in Southern
Germany for the fourth straight
night.
| One target was the railroad yard
at komotau, just across the Czecho-
slovak border, 80 miles southeast
of Chemnitz. Seven other railheads
in this general area had been ripped
a few hours earlier by $50 American
heavy bombers in an effort to block
Nazi traffic into the South German
mountain Notifications.
The Air Ministry said four Raj
bombers and one fighter were miss
ing from a force of 1850 planes

Tnree-Fourths of City in Ruins.
German refugees tumbled from Gel
lars and shelters and some cheered
the Americans advancing into the
center of the city from the west,
south and east. 1t was estimated
that three-fourths of Leipzig, whose
normal population was O1 ,606, was
in ruins. The real resistance had
been broken outside the big Saxony
center of art. medicine, publishing
and industry when the troops of 1t.
Gen. Courtney H. Hodges crushed
a thick ring of leveled antiaircraft
batteries. White flags fluttered
everywhere.
Great prizes fell to the Americans
in the conquest of Leipzig.
The 9th Armored Division seized
huge airfield near Polez and one
of Germany's jet planes. Near AL
tehhane was found one of the great
est ammunition and gas dumps dis
covered since the invasion. Ninety
huge bunkers were filled with shells
one bunker alone contained 27,00C
shells filled with taxic gas.
Europe's strongest radio station
a 200-000-watt transmitter, was
seized near Leipzig. The city was
one of Europe's greatest railroad
centers. 1t was important for sup
plying the Russian front. Some
500 priced 88-millimeter guns were
captured.
No Mass Welcome.
Although some Germans in Leip-
zig cheered, there was no mass well
come for the Americans. Some
sniper pockets still were being
cleaned up. Many of the defenders
had been sullen girls, many of whom
died at their guns.
Other cities fell. The American
Sd Army captured Fuerth (75,000)
suburb of Nuremberg, and Zwic-
kan (76,000). The British took
Luneberg 100000, near the Lower
Elbe, and brought Harburg (118,-
