Sunny Easter Promised; Florists Well Prepared
,to, from Signal Corps Radio-Telephoto)

Record breaking warm weather and the promise of a sunny Easter Sunday brought out shoppers en masse today. Smiling merchants re- ported that business was keeping tune with the weather and all re- cords were being broken. Not only fast as clerks could handle tranSac- was merchandise being wrapped as tions, but unprecedented amounts of greenbacks were piling up in store registers.
 Women comprised approximately 99 per cent of the buyers in local stores. Hardly male could be per ceived in downtown stores last night which were damned with women shoppers until 800.
 It must be recorded however that soldier awaited patiently for an hour in the dress section of an East Main street store. while his wife selected her Easter frock. While scores of women showed and pushed to near the racks, and tWirled before full-length mirrors, the servicemen dHhG4lCO4IuAAJ 1OOhC0 uPOAA OAAC Pooo- ing scene. When Lady Luck in the form of a clerk presented him with chair, he placed it as far out of the traffic as possible, and enjoyed few minutes sleep.
 Though Easter is considered to be very early one, florists reported they had plenty of Easter blooms and were meeting all orders. Notice ably lacking, however, were the traditional Easter lilies and hya- cinths. Lily bulbs were previously imported from Japan, while Hya- cinth bulbs came from Holland. Many orders are being received for flowers from servicemen both at home and abroad, and are getting first preference from local flowers merchants. Potted plants far out number cut flowers. Florists window are filled for most part with hy- drangea, azalea, tulips, and daffodil plants.
 And neither will the kiddies be forgotten come Sunday. Plush bun- nies, costing as much as $7.50, are selling like hotcakes, and shoppers are scurrying from one store to an- other for sweets to fill Easter baS- kets.

Nozis Open New Quarters
BY w. R. HIGGINBOTHAM

London, March 30. - (UP) - A Vatican City dispatch said today that the German government has begun functioning at Eichstatt, small town in the Bavarian Alps near Berchtesgaden, after evacuat- ing Berlin.
 A carefully-buried item in Osserva- tore Romano, official organ of the Vatican, revealed taht Mgr. Cesare Orsenigo Apostolic Nuncio to the German government, held special celebration at EichStatt Wednesday In observance of the anniversary of she Pope's coronation.
 Vatican household sources pointed out to the United Press in Rome that Orsenigo recently expressed his intention of leaving Berlin to follow the Hitler government to its new temporary capital.
 The dispatch thus constituted the most authoritative indication yet that Adolf Hitler has written off Berlin as capital of Germany for a last stand in the Bavarian and Aus trian Alps surrounding his moun- tain-top home at Berchtesgaden.
 The disclosure came while Nazl propagandists were attempting to whip up German morale in the face of admittedly disastrous Allied breakthroughs in the west.
 It. Gen. Kurt Dittmar, official commentator for the German high command, conceded that the Reich's present plight confronted the German soldier with the ques- Lion, "What is the sense in contin- uing the fight"
 "The enemy's intention to annihi- late the entire German nation furn- Ishes us with the only possible an- ywer," he said. "As long as We are faced with such prospects, & fight to the last is the only alternative.
 We must not quit no matter whether we fight on the Rhine or to the east of it. Any time gained counts in these days"

School Appointments MayBe Made Monday

The future status of School Sup erintendent Thomas J. Condon, who reaches the retirement age in less than two weeks, is expected to come up for discussion Monday night, when the Board of Education holds its semi meeting. Dr. Con- don will be 70 years old on April l2, according to city employe records.
 Appointment of successor to Wilby High school Principal Jo- seph P. Kennedy, whose resignation takes effect today, also is expected to be considered at the meeting. Members of the teachers commit tee of the board are reported to have met recently to consider pos sible action in regardsto that vacan- cy and others anticipated in the near future.
 The question of whether pr. Con- don may be classified as teacher or as city employe, within pension provisions is expected to be sent for an answer to the city corporation counsel, and no specific action ln that respect is expected from the board at it's next session. However, the board is expected to take cog nizance of the fact that the top post in the education department may be opened before it holds it's second meeting in April, and some action may be taken accordingly. Numerous candidates have been mentioned for the Wilby post James E. Moran, principal, had been considered the most likely choice until the possibility loomcc he might be appointed to post ir the superintendent's office. Dr. Johr G. Gilmartin has been mentioned as the logical choice for the super intendency, when Dr. Condon re- tires, and packers of MT. Moran looked toward placement of the Wilby teacher in the post of assist ant superintendent, now held by Dr. Gilmartin.
 Frank G. Began, principal of Leavenworth High school, has been mentioned as a possible appointee for the top post at Wilby, in the event MT. Moran receives the other appointment
 Pierre Pronovost, who has been a teacher for 27 years, is named among the candidates and is report ed to be serious contender in view of his seniority status. MT. Promo (Coptipuod OO papn Al

NAzIS SURRENDER|Nc BY THOUSANDS Fleet Reported 25 Miles Off Jap CoaSi
OK|NAWA ISLE INVASION PLAN
 BEING SET UP
BY FRANK TREMAINE

Guam, March 30. = (UP) = Tokyo said at least five Allied task forces, including 18 battleships, were blasting away at Japan's southern approaches for the eighth straight day today in prepar- ation for an invasion of Okinawa Island in the Ryukyus.
 "The time for a decisive battle between Japan and America finally has come upon us" Tokyo quoted the newspaper Tomiuri-Hochi as saying.
 Japanese estimates of the task forces which the emmy said has been hitting install lations all the way from Japan proper to the Sakis- himas, 600 miles to the southwest, ranged from 150 surface ships to 2,000, includ- ing transports and landing craft.
 One Tokyo broadcast said Al most the entire American Pacific fleet" was mobilibed for the as- sault.
 Though the assault was centering on Okinawa, naval and air base island 330 miles southwest of Japan. Tokyo said one task force appeared last night and today around" Ta- mega island, only 25 miles off the coast fo Japan itself
 A penetration to Tanega would be the closest approach to Japan by Allied warships of the war and would represent a ringing challenge to the remnants of the Japanese fleet to come out and fight.
 GA German TranSocean dispatch recorded by the United Press in London said 150 American super fortresses raided Tokyo this morn- ing with new-type incendiary bombs and caused fires at several places)
 Radio Tokyo said Japanese planes attacked the task force around Ta- mega, 30-mile long island off the southern tip of Kyushu, southern most of the Japanese home islands. One of three carriers and a bat. tleship or cruiser were damaged seriously by torpedoes launched by Japanese assault units," Tokyo said.

 LOSING GDANz|G
 TO RED.A ARMIES
BY ROBERT MUSEL

London, March 30. - (UP) Red Army today was reported driving on Vienna along five highways south of the Danube and was only 30 miles from the Austrian capi- tai at Sopron which was re- ported besieged. The German high command admitted the fall of Danzig and Gdynia.
 The Germans, however, claimed the Soviet drive into Austria had been halted.
 At Sopron the Russians were only 18 miles from the huge Austrian manufacturing and war center of Wiener Neustadt, often target for American heavy bombers, and the rail lines linking Austria with the south.
 The rail lines are also vital to the supply of the German forces still holding out in northern Yugoslavia.
 The Germans were reporting masSing troops along the Leite river line just few miles in advance of Soviet spearheads for a last stand to save Vienna.
 One Soviet column threatened to flank Vienna from the south.
 Reds Take Danzig
 Still another column clearing the western tip of Hungary was within five miles of the Austrian border and 40 miles southeast of Vienna
 Far to the north, the great Bal tic port of Danzig fell into Soviet hands, a German army newspape dispatch recorded by the EGG in the United States said. A Soviet communique last night reported only the capture of the center of the city and the greater part of it's port area. r Marshal Feodor I. Tolbukhin's Third Ukrainian Army group rolled up to the Austrian frontier on 14-mile front yesterday and a free

.1,4OO Forts
 Rake Bremen

London, March 30-UP)-More than 2,300 U. s. Eighth Air Force planes pounded Bremen. Hamburg and Wilhelmshaven today in the biggest American aerial attack ever made against German naval in- stallations.
 The huge assault by more than 1,4OO fortresses and liberators, es- corted by 900 fighter planes, ap- parently was bid to cripple final ly the German naval facilities and U-boat fleet bases.
 The heavy bombers dropped loads of at least 5000 tons of bombs on the three target areas.
 The targets included submarine building yards, naval vessels, oil storage and port facilities.
 The heavy attacks apparently also were designed to further the confusion now reigning among the Reich's land armies.
 The attacks followed up raids last night by British mosquitoes on Berlin and other targets in north west Germany

Wherry FIoys OPA Policies
By ANN HICKS

Washington, March 3O.-(UP)- Sen. Kenneth s. Wherry, R., Neb., called on the OPA today to recog- ni7e the "court-proven fact" that OPA policies are responsible for the meat shortage and black market.
 Whery referred to a ruling yes- terday by the U. s. emergency court of appeals which invalidated OPA wholesale beef prices for non-proc- essing slaughterers-tilose who pro- duce fresh meat only. The court said the prices in question had served as a substantial impedi- ment" to production of better-grades of beef for the armed forces.
 The court ruled, however, that OPA prices were generally fair and equitable" for processing slaugh- terers, who handle about 85 per cent of the nations total beef sup ply.
 Wherry, a leader in the congress sional fight for price relief for pack CTS, acknowledged that the decision applied principally to meat sold to the government for the armed forces.

Vaccination Given Boost
 Bv New Film
By JACK ROWLES

New York, March 30.-iUP)- Walt Disneys army of red blood corpuscles, armed with tanks, planes, tommy guns and bombs wiped out horde of invaders today-intech- nicolor.
 The victory will send young school children running to their doctors all over the nation asking to be vac- cinated.
 The triumph of Disney's we'll equipped corpuscles is achieved in an edudcational film for youngsters called defense against invasion" :" designed to remove childish fear of vaccination by showing what vac- cination means.
 Using three boys, dog, nurse and a friendly doctor for his req! life cast, Disney unWinds a bang up war in make-believe. The movie is Disney's interpretation of what happens when the enemy-infec- tion-enters the body.
 The defenders, played by fat red corpuScles in cone-Shaped hats sound a siren and wheel out their defensive weapons. The invaders. ferocious looking black bugs, win the first battle because the reds have no vaccination serum on their side.
 The defeat is overwhelming Black invaders multiply, grow to monster proportions and gobble the Reds like frogs Jating mosquitoes.
 But in the return bout, things are different. The Reds get vac- cination serum. At first, they think the serum is an enemy, too, and start war production on 24-hour basis. They built so many planes, tanks and guns to repel the vac cination "bugs"-who turn out to be soft marks beginning for a beat ing-that they have warehouses packed.
 Then, when the real enemy returns, the carnage is terrible. The Reds parachute down into fields of black enemies. The Reds blast Blacks out of pillboxes and mow them down with machine guns, Dis ney makes this annihilation look like battle scenes on the western front, and employees modern battle tactics in the big scene.
 Disney's office reported that school children of Denver, Colo. saw the movie recently. Their teach CTS reported a 100 per cent increase in volunteers for vaccination. The film is being nationally distributed.

Yonks Seize o Opon, Couit
By H. D. QUIGG

Manila, March 30 (UP0 = Elements of the American division secured the approaches to Cebu's big harbor in the Central Philip pines today with invasions of near by Cauit and Mactan Islands.
 The main city of Opon on Mac- tan Island, where Magellan died in the 16th Century, was seized by the assault troops while tiny Cauit, former seaplane base just outside Cebu city's harbor, was complete ly occupied.
 The islands were the 18th and 30th invaded by General Douglas MacArthur's American forces in the Philippines.
 At the same time other units of the American division continued to fan out on Cebu Island against only disorganized Japanese resistance.
 One column which cut north from captured Cebu City, capital of the island, seized Lahug airdrome with its two air strips to provide another base for the growing aerial offensive from the Philippines.
 A second force pushed south along Cebu's eastern ecast and oc- cupied the town of Naga, nine miles below the Talisay landing beaches and IA miles south of Cebu City.
 MacArthur's communique said there was only minor action in the ground campaign on Luzon, in the northern Philippines. where an ad- ditional 1888 Japanese bodies were counted in the mopping up opera tions east of Manila.
 Mitchell medium bombers and fighter planes continued steadily attacks on enemy positions through out Luzon and LiberatorS dumped another XXX tons of explosives at Legaspi, n the southeastern tip of the island.

 Tooth Brush

Washington, March 30.-(UP)- Having been accused lately of neg lecting my pals at the patent office. I hasten to report that the newest postwar wonder is the self-striking cigaret.
 This is the invention (Patent number 2,371 ,287) of Max and Bernie Feldman of Brooklyn, N. r., and where they got the raw material is their secret; all know is that one end of the Feldman cigaret is dipped in sulphur. or whatever 1t is that makes fire. No need to strike a match; just strike your cigaret.
