12 Jap Ships
 Hit At Luzon

Manila, April 10 - (U.P0-Amer- ican troops steadily compressed three big Japanese pockets on Lu- zon today while airmen caught 12 more enemy ships, including two destroyers, in the China Sea block ade.
 The heaviest toll in the aerial strikes was taken when Philippines based Liberators of the Seventh Fleet intercepted a 15-ship convoy leaving the Chinese port of SwatoW, west of Formosa.
 One destroyer and an 8,000-ton transport were sunk, while another destroyer and a fourth ship, pre- Sumably a cargo vessel, were serious ly damaged. It was not disclosed whether the transport was carrying any Japanese troops.
 Fifth Army Air Force bomberS accounted for eight other ships, all merchant craft, in Arranging raids from the Dutch East Indies to Hong Kong and FormoSa, where Libera- tors dumped another I'll tons of bombs on the islands airdromes.
 BomberS and fighters also provid- ed strong support for the American troops steadily hacking away at the dwindling Japanese forces in north. central and southern Luzon.
 Attacks planes and fighters of the Fifth Air Force blasted enemy sup ply dumps at Baguio and Japanese troop concentrations near Balete Pass, two of the immediate ground force targets in northern Luzon..

Coal Accord Seen Likely

Washington, April 10.-(UP)- Soft coal operators and the United Mine Workers reported they were near an agreement on new con- tract today as the government con- templated seizure of 200 captive coal mines to safeguard steel production.
 The War Labor Board was report ed to have referred the strikes 1n the captive mines-those owned by steel companies-to stablizatlon Dl- rector William H. Davis because of the UMW,S inability to get the miners back on the job. Some quar- ters believed seizure of the mines to' be imminent.
 Production in the vital Pennsyl- vania fields was estimated at only 60 per cent of normal yesterday de- spite reports of back to work movement. The wildcat strikes cut deep,y- ::..1tc output of steel.
 Meanwhile. the conferees on new soft coal wage-hour contract once again indicated that things looked well.
 A new contract was said to depend on @ proposed clause for unioniza- tion of supervisory employees. The parties were reported in agreement in principal on virtually all of the other issues in dispute.
 The miners and operators recessed negotiations yesterday to recom- mend to their policy groups accept ance of proposals which were esti- mated to mean approximately $1.25 day increase for the miners and to add 25 cents 8 ton to the cost Of producing coal.

Wooden Lea Yields Gems

New York, April 10-'(UP) -Po- lice, questioning John Cieslak, 19. about the rape and robbery of a 29-year-old married woman in her apartment, ordered him to strip.
 Cieslak reluctantly removed his clothes, revealing an artificial right leg.
 The thorough going detectives, not satisfied, told him to take of the leg.
 Out fell a diamond ring and a wedding band which CieSlak ad- mitted that he and companion, whom he refused to identify, had stolen from the woman before rap ing her.
 The woman, whose name was withheld, said her husband was away from home when the two youths entered her apartment and threatened her with a knife. Police sought Cieslak's companion who escaped with another ring and a gold watch.

Main Vienna Barracks In
 Reds Hands
RY ROBERT MUSEL

London, April 10.-(UP)-Russian siege forces storming the last thlfc of Vienna in German hands today captured the RennWeg barracks, the main barracks of the Austrian capl- ta's hard pressed garrison.
 GA spokesman at U. s. 18th Army group headquarters said the Rus sians were no miles from Berch- tesgaden at an undisclosed point, and were likely to get there be- fore the German" seeking refuge ID the Bavarian Alps0
 Gloomy Nazi reports of steady So- viet gains in the Vienna streets indicated that Berlin was prepa1- ing the German people for the early fall of the city.
 The Free Austrian radio report ed the fall of the RennweG bar racks, on 8 street of the same name which leads directly to the RingStrasse.
 The German high command re- ported grim fighting" in Vienna Supplementary Berlin broadcast! said the pocket still in German hands was being stormed from the north, south and west, and portions of it were on fire.
 The Russians were reported bat ting for crossings of the Danube river and Canada.
 Virtually all that portion of V1- enna west of the river and canal including the center of the city, was liberated by Marshal Feodor l. Tol- bukhin's Third Ukrainian army yes- terday.
 Swept up in the advance were the parliament building, main police station, radio station, central post office, state opera house, gas works. the Central European Bank and several factories.
 Nazis Hold Pocket
 Still in German hands was 10- mile pocket east of the Danube river and canal, mostly factories and the big Prater park.
 The Germans were resisting stub- bornly, a Soviet communique an- nounced, but Tolbukhin's troops cleared block after block in rapid succession. One Soviet column was fighting in the Mint district, the enemys last foothold west of the

Pro Football Clubs Merged For One Yeor
BY CARL LUNDQUIST

Jew York, April 1O.-(UP)-The Boston and Brooklyn teams of the National Professional Football league voted otday to merger for the 1945 season and will play one game at Yankee Stadium against the New York Giants.
 The team will be known as the "Yanks," the official title of the Boston Club, and will be coached by Herb Kopf, who directed the Tanks last year.
 The merged team will be handled by Boston but at the end of the season the players will revert TO their original clubs and in 1945 will operate separately again, with Yan- kee Stadium probably becoming the home gridiron of Brooklyn.
 The merger will make the league a 10-team circuit again this fall. Last year the Chicago Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Stelers were merged.
 Although the Boston Brooklyn merger did not definitely settled the status of the Brooklyn team for 1946, the fact that the owners of the Giants consented to have the new team play one game at Yankee Stadium indicated that a solution may be reached.

Danes Save 20 Vessels

Stockholti,A pril 10-(UP)-Twen- ty tug vessels and barge of the Danish merchant fleet were report ed at Landskrona and other Swedish harbors today after their rescue by Danish patriots.
 The patriots boarded the 3,000-ton Danish vessel Roesnaes, scheduled to sail from Copenhagen for Vijle, yes- terday and forced the captain to ground it off the Swedish island of Oeresund.
 The radio operator called for as- sistance from the Copenhagen har- bor and g number of larger tugs and a big barge arrived. Then all the vessels including the Roesnaes were forced to go to LAndskrona.
 The other tugs anchored at Hoe- games and other harbors on the Swedish coast following the patriots ss'l0'' i

TSUkATA ISLE
 LANDING MADE BYDOUGHBOYS
BY FRANK TREMAINE

Guam, April 10. = (UP) - Tokyo said today that Ameri- can troops have landed on Tsukata Island controlling the entrance to nearly-con- quered Nakagusuku Bay naval anchorage in southeast OkinaWa.
 Other troops spearing along the shore of the bay on OkinaWa advanced nor e than a mile and a half to Omaha, on the edge of Yona- baru Airfield and a mile and a half north of the port of Yonabaru itself, a Tokyo Domei Agency broadcast said.
 American destroyers and other warcraft already have entered Nakagusuku Bay, the broadcast said.
 American sources were unable to confirm the reported east coast developments, but said the greatest artillery duel of the Pacific war was under way in the southwest coast sector as the 24th Army Corps stormed deeper into defenses shield ing the capital city of Mana.
 Able Ground Support
 Gen. o. P. Smith, deputy chief of stafff for the 10th ~SArmy, said more battalions of artillery were supporting the ground forces than ever before in the Pacific. The concentration of guns per yard nearly equals the maximum known in warfare, he said.
 Domei said American troops landed on Tsukata Island some eight miles off the southeast coast of Okinawa Sunday afternoon. The dispatch made no claim that the forces had been repulsed and it was possible the Americans quickly overran the tiny island.
 During the landing operations Tokyo said, Japanese forces presumably with artillery = sank one large American destroyer and a small craft out of a group of warcraft which penetrated Naka-

 Final Test Seen Todoy
By JOHN L. CUTTER

Washington, April 10.-(UP)- Congressional efforts to tighten re- strictions against using lend-lease for postwar purposes moved today toward final test in the Senate,
 The battle centered on a bill tc extend to June 30, 1946 the admin istration,s power to negotiate lend lease agreements with foreign gov- ernmentS.
 Senate Democratic Leader Alben w. Barkley obtained unanimous consent to limit debate and pressed for passage without amendment be- fore nightfall.
 There was no question about ex- tending the lend-leaSe act for purely war purposes. But the challenge came on making wartime agree ments which in effect may become extensions of postwar credits for purchase of American goods.
 The recent French agreement, providing for such heavy equipment as railroad engines and cars, was

LONG DORMANT
 ITALIAN FRONT ACTIVE AGAIN
BY WALTER COLLINS

Rome, April 10. = (UP) - "A new British Eighth Army offensive crumpled the Adri- atic Wing of the German de- lenses in Italy, carried over the Seglio river on a broad front, and today spilled out over the eastern Pc plain be- tween Bologna and Ravenna.
 Gen. Mark w. Clark, com lnander of Allied forces in Italy, announced that the Eighth Army attacked yester- day evening after a pulver- izi11g air assault in the Senlo sector by almost all of the air forces in this theatre.
 The first onrush of It. Gen. Sir Richard McCreery's fcrces broke the Senio river line. His assault forces swept across the stream on a broad front around Lugo, 27 miles east of Bologna and IS miles west of Raw enna.
 Front Long Dormant
 The eruption in the eastern coast al sector of Italy set both ends of the long dormant front in motion. The U. s. Fifth army was plugging northwestward along the Ligurian coast in closein against Mass, big outpost of the La Spezia naval base.
 The Italian operations picked up momentum as Allied armies swung ever deeper into Germany from the west and the Russians carried the battle of Vienna into its final phase.
 Clark's armies now were pressing in against one of the last industrial areas left to the Nazis after the overrunping of the Ruhr and Silesia. This is the once Rith production zone of northern Italy, centered around Milan.
 The Eighth army offensive closely followed an amphibious operation which secured the sandspit between Lake Comacchio and the Adriatic. It was aimed across the Senio river west of Lake Comacchio along the traffic arteries to Bologna and Fer rara.

 Emerson said that special agents recently rounded up Chicago gang which had in its possession "5O, ,OOO, 900 counterfeit red coupons"
 Emerson said that aside from counterfeit operations the black market in meat operates within the channels of the meat industry"
 Committee hairman Elmer Thomas, D., Okla, had said earlier that he didn't know what to do about the black market because you can't prosecute the whole United States

market flourishing in the capital was equally displeased.
 T want OPA to know," he said that when I make a charge. l know what I am talking about"
 Emerson tried to tell Wheeler that a labor department check showed that retail meat prices had not ad- vanced since May, 1943. Wheeler laughed without mirth.
 "What a joke that isl" he said. People who buy their meat on the black market are paying larger sums for it than they ever did be- fore in the history of this country
 'Any statement that meat prices haven't gone up is just childish propaganda"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-04-10

Wheeler charged that black mar ket violations are going on at a full scale pace" throughout the country, and that "the way OPA is gonig after it is a joke"
 Emerson said that he did consid- CT as a mere rumor Wherry's re- cent statement that 90 per cent Of the meat sold in New York city is black market.
 Sherry angirly replied that his statement had been verified by . meat industry man. Emerson re- torted that "it is totally impossible that 90 per cent of the meat sold in New York city is black market" Emerson finally read g statement in which he said the black market

Holding Up Of Goods
May Hit Christmas
Market, Snyder Says

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Recon-
version Director Snyder said last
night the Government is receiving
increasing reports" that some man
ufacturers are holding up delivery
.of consumer goods.
One explanation given is that by
doing this these firms will escape
"a portion of the excess profits levies
on their new production since the
tax goes off the 1st of jan
uary,' Mr.. Snyder said before the
first National Marketing Forum.
Mr.. Snyder. head of the Office of
War Mobilization and Reconversion,
declared it is natural and to be
expected that "in our competitive
system each businessman will, within
our legal framework, operate to his
own interest"
Sees Off-Peak Yule Trade.
But" he continued, "damming
up the flow of goods is increasing
the pressure against the controls
that protect us from the threat of
imitation, which is to no ones in
terest.
1T would keep the goods from
you distributors for the Christmas
trade-the period when distributors
normally reach the years peak of
sales and activity"
Mr.. Snyder added that more than
a million veterans being demobilized
every month want clothing and the
other things of civilian life.
Those veterans who cannot buy
what they need because a few man.
ufacturers may be holding up goods
to reap profits when the tax is re-
moved, will be justly critical" he
said.
However, Mr.. Snyder reported
there are signs of increasing pro-
duction-signs that goods will be in
your hands before long"
Among the signs, he said, are an
