l think another reason why a
man should give his marital mis-
take complete airing is the
protection of his fellow man.
You see, if he eventually steps
out of the picture still holding

will have no line on her and she
may be able TO corral another
poor mugg and thus further
spread human misery.

The White House announced TO-

San Francisco conference.
The White House revealed that
Soviet Premier Josef V. Stain de-
cided to send Molotov after Pres

that such a move would be vel
coined "as an expression of earnest
cooperation in carrying forward

President Truman directed Am

Stain yesterday, the White House
said. Mr.. Truman stated in that

PARIS, April a. R Victory
on the European front by Allied
proclamatim-whenever it comes
probably will not mean an END
of fighting on a military scale in
Germany or its stolen outposts.
The best information here is that
if the fighting is not broken down
to mere guerrilla warfare by late
fall, it might conceivably stretch
on through the winter in the pass
guarded hideaways of Norway and
southern Germany's national re-
doubt, where snow and ice would
slow the cleanup.
In such an event, weeks and
months after proclaimed victory
American divisions might still be
in the line on European soil.
American boys still might be
dying in a war whose end already
had been celebrated.

Victory By Allied Proclamation Not
Expected To End F1gh ting In Reich

There is no reason to suppose
that the link-up with the Russians,
splitting Germany into two in the
middle, would be signal for Gen.
Eisenhower in conjunction with
Premier Marshal Stain to pro-
claim victory.
After the junction with the Rus
slams, large German forces still
will be in the field in the north or
south or both, and it is believed
here that We day will be pro-
claimed only after those forces are
much more greatly broken down
and boxed in.
Already there is no cohensive
front nor coherent German COM
mand in the west. The junction OF
the Allies of the east and west
seems near, but We day will come,
according to best opinion here,
somewhere between that junction

PARIS, April 14.-(UP-
garon Franz Won Papen, form

Aim To Reach
Reich Capital.
Before Yanks
Reported Only rs Miles
From Berlin In Powerful
New Offensive
BY ROBERT MUsEL

United Press War Correspondent
LONDON, Sunday, April Is
i UP) Germany reported
last night that the Red army
had opened attacks on a 35-
mile front west of the Oder
and penetrated German lines
only 26 miles from Berlin in
the first phase of a general
offensive aimed at reaching
the capital before the Amer
leans.
The German news bureau COM
mentator, Ernst Won Hammer,
said the closest thrust to Berlin
was made due west of Soviet
held Kuestrin on the Oder where
the Russians, by enemy accounts,
drove to the Seelow area early
in April.
While not confirming the report
ed Berlin attack, the nightly So
Wet communique reported that
Red Army troops in the south had
raced II miles from last positions
west OF fallen Vienna and was
storming the key road junction of
Sankt Poelten after capturing Her
gozenburg, five miles northeast
of the town, and Boeheimkirchen,
five miles east.
Move On Berchtesgaden
Sankt Poelten lies 81 miles due
west of Vienna. Unofficial Moscow
dispatches said that Marshal Eco
dor I. Tolbukhin's forces had
swept on some so miles beyond
Sankt Poelten to the approaches
of Linz, only rs miles from Adolf
Hitler's ''Valhalla" at Berchtes-
gaden.
Berlin admitted a deep breach"
in the Sankt Poelten area and
said the Russians were trying to
outflank the key defense point to
the south in powerful drive
through the Semmering pass.
Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovsky'
Second Ukrainian army northeast
of Vienna meanwhile thrust six
miles deeper into Moravia and
captured Moravska Zizkov only %
miles southeast of the big Czecho-
slovak arms center of Brno.
The same drive sent spearhead
across the Brno-Breclaw Gunden-
burg) railroad to starry Breclaw,
one mile north of Breclaw, leaving
the latter Away traffic junction
and castled fortress virtually iso-
lated.
In the immediate Vienna area,
Malinovsky's forces west of the
Morava river captured II towns on
a 25-rnile front including Pfoesting,
seven miles north of the fallen
Austrian capital. Malinovsky was
merging with Tolbukhin for joint
drive ION Prague across the roll
ing country northwest of Vienna.
About Assault
Far in the north, the Soviets
opened an about assault on Ger
man expendables on the Samland
peninsula west of Koenigsberg and,
capturing 60 towns, carved down
the enemy holdings in East Prus-
STA to 100 square miles. The road

and the end of the subsequent
fighting.
It is hardly that Gen. Eisenhow-
err would proclaim victory until
the eastern front too has collapsed
and a proclamation is issued joint
ly with Stain.
A fortnight ago Eisenhower pre-
dicted that the Germans would
fight on as best they could for the
last inch of Reich soil; that there
would be no formal surrender;
that victory probably would come
by proclamation. +
Events since have borne out
that prediction.
Two fighting fronts now are
shaping up. One is in the north
guarding the great German ports
and perhaps Berlin.
The other is the national re.
