Use Of Surplus Bombers
AS Trailer Homes Uraed

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 13.-"Trailer
camps" of B-29 and Liberatol
bomber fuselages to solve the acute
housing shortage in crowded cities
was urged yesterday by Alfred K
Robinson, auditor supervisor of the
General Accounting Office.
Mr. Robinson admitted the idea
might sound fantastic" but de-
clared piled-up surplus B-29s and
B-24s should be moved from depots
at Walnut Ridge, Ark, and other
places to overcroWded centers.
He said cities should set up COM
munities of streamlined trailer
camps" with central buildings pro-
viding sanitary and cooking facil-
tiles, as emergency dwellings fol
homeless veterans.
The fuselages would be roomier
than some of the trailers being used
in this emergency, Mr.. Robinson
asserted. They have plenty of win
dows. They are weatherproof. They
are wired for lighting and heating
so why waste them?"

Latin American Nations fo Get Busy dt Frisco
 Conference

WASHINGTON, April 20.--A drive among the smaller nations to write boundary guarantees into any peace keeping organization is taking form, to be tossed into the hopper at the San Francisco Conference.
 The proposal will be made, either by one of the atin-American ra- tions which secured similar assur- ances in the recent Act of Chapulte- pee, or by a nation in the British Dominion, probably New Zealand.
 The demand for territorial guararl- tees would include definition of aggression, and go hand in hand with the expected United States proposal to empower the assembly projected by the. peace agency to review treaties.
 Adoption of boundary guarantees would change the proposed Leagues fundamental obligation. to the ex- tent that instead of simply an in ternational pledge to decide when sanctions should be imposed, the organization would be obligated to use the worlds armed might when- ever it was decided aggression exist ed.
 Rszsis's apparent ,ietermmation to stick by her guns in the Polish issue is seen in Moscow dispatches, quoting the Red Star which said failure to invite the Provisional Government evoked the indignation of the Polish people, as only one government exists in Poland"

TANKS HAVE TAKEN OVER
 NUREMBERG
American, French Forces Move in Wide Cirlle
 Around Stuttgart

PARIS, April 20.-British tanks thundered within mile of the su- burbs of Hamburg, while three American divisions are stamping out the last fanatical resistance of the Nazis trapped in the walled heart of the shrine city of Nuremberg, as the Seventh Army troops penetrated the wall during the night and closed on the center of the city.
 American and French forces, mov- ing in a wide circle around Stutt- gart, another Nazi rallying point, captured Reutlinger, 18 miles to the south of Stuttgart.
 Third Army clements inside Czechoslovakia are within three miles of Asch Baare, 55 miles from the surging Russian lines.
 Propaganda Chief Goebbels, grave ly threatening, said a decision is very near" as he spoke to the Nazi faithful in Nuremberg on Hitler's fifty-sixth birthday.
 With Nuremberg now captured, the Americans beating south from there, are within 70 miles of Munich and 132 miles of Berchtesgaden. For all practical purposes organized German resistance on weE-defined front has ceased, and the war has become a battle of pockets.
 French Move Up
 French First Army forces stab bed 50 miles southeast of Strasbourg to Rottweil, IA miles from the Dan- ube and B miles from Lake Con- stance, the western limit of the Nazi national redoubt in southern Ger many.
 The Pcilus are 25 miles north of Switzerland, in advances which ranged up to g miles and carried them within 65 miles of Austria and 1z0 miles of Italy's northern from tier.
 The whole Allied right flank, in- cluding the French First. and the American Third and Seventh ar mics, is clamping down on the mountainous Nazi lair where Hitler is believed to be observing a gloomy birthday.

GUAM, April 20--Three Ameri- can Army Divisions, totalling pos sibly 45,000 men, jumped off yes- terday in an all-out assault against 'tff6 deep aiid Solid defenses on southern Okinawa Island, the Navy disclosed today.
 One of the heaviest big-gun bom- bardments ever launched in sup port of amphibious troops, pre- ceded the big push,
 Battleships and cruisers aided the field artillery, and great cover of carrier planes protected the ground forces.
 The Japanese fought back furi- ously with artillery and mortars, but the Tanks made initial gains of 800 yards.
 One flank of the amphibious forces gained 300 yards and an- other flank captured the village of Machinato.
 The operation ended a 13-day deadlock on the southern Okinawa front, where the Nipponese have been holding the Tanks with a defense set-up four miles or more in depth extending all the way across the island, about 5000 yards.
 An artillery duel has ragged un- abated along the front since April 16.
 There is little possibility of a breakthrough because the defense extends all the way to Naha and the terrain is suited to the enemy's kind of fighting. The terrain is cut up by ravines and terraces and the Nipponese are entrenched in an lnterlocking trench-pillbox system, with blockhouses.

WASHINGTON - President Tru- man is being advised by friends to make a few long-delayed changes in the Roosevelt Cabinet which would strengthen his Administra- tion, electrify the country, and make the nation realize that his is definitely a firm hand at the helm. Here is how the Cabinet lineup looks at the moment:
 Secretary of Commerce Wallace the man most likely to remain. Truman will never budge him. The two became good friends during the Presidential campaign, when Wallace rolled up his sleeves and fought hard for both President Roosevelt and Truman, even though he had been ditched at Chicago.
 Secretary of War Stimson-born two years after Lincoln was as- sassinated, Stimson has lived through three wars, fought in one of them, and served as Secretary of War twice. He also served as Secretary of State under Hoover. He also will never be removed by Truman. But Stimson will want to retire himself, after victory over Japan is sewed up.
 Secretary of the Navy Forrestal- Franklin Roosevelt was his own Secretary of the Navy. Between him and the iAdmirals, Forrestal was; chiefly figurehead. Under the circumstances, he did good job, particularly in his relations with Congress. He will be continued for the time being, but is by no means fixture.
