NAILS PREPARING
FOR FINAL STAND

LONDON, March II P The
Germans said tonight the FIRST
phase of the Allied spring often
sive had begun with massive Amer
lean attacks in the west and Mos
COW broadcast a report the Nazls
were turning an area in south Ger
many into Small but super
strong" defense region for their
last stand.
At the same time, Russian
military commentator declared
that high commands of the Red
army and the western Allies had
agreed on a coordinated win-the-
war strategy which soon would re-
suit in simultaneous blow OF stu
pendous force which will effect the
iuncture of our armies somewhere
in central Germany"
The German radio, beam1ng
abroad an article that will appear
In tomorrow's papers, said that the
war was "about to enter its de-
cisive phase" on both the eastern
and western fronts. 1t said the Al
lied spring push began with the
heavy American attack between
Coblenz and Haguenau, and that
troops were concentration on the
Rhine north of Coblerz and Bonn
for other drives.
But Robert Ley, Nazi labor chief
ia who has been touring the Rhine
front, said any decisions there
would not decide the Germans
fate. He asserted in a broadcast
message:
II repeat what I said earlier in
Berlin-we fight in front of the
Rhine, on the Rhine and behind
the Rhine. Our enemies have not
broken us, and they will not break
u.s."
Colonel kolomeitsev, Russian
commentator, wrote in an article
later broadcast that "operational
contact had been established be-
tween the Allies and is becoming
closer" He added:
"Allied blows at Germany are
becoming ever more effective and
everything seems to point to a
strictly elaborated and timed plan
of coordination between the Allied
fronts now about 300 miles apart.
1.-The old tactics of successive
blows-now at one front, now at
another-have given way to tao
tic of concerted blows on both
fronts and I believe that in the
future coordinated Allied fronts will
take the form of simultaneous con-
centric blows increasing in strength
and scope

CIVILIAN SUPPLIES

signed to equaize the competitive

The civilian allotment is 3,793,

ment, which went up four per cent
is 1881, 100000 pounds.
This said OWT, referring to
the civilian portion is approx

the record high of 1914 and is

Twill Remain Tight"
The new distribution scheme
will not increase the overall eli
william supply which will remain
tight in any event. the statement
declared, noting that the meat de-
ficit areas would still feel the pinch
of shortages despite the new pro-
gram.
Quoting VIA, Owl reported:
Total supplies, which are six
per cent lower than during tn.
first quarter will continue to be
shorter and no substantial improve
ment can be expected before the
fall months when livestock mar
keting seasonaly increases.
The end of the war in Europe
will not materially affect the meat
situation and will result neither in
lighter military demands nor in
increased civilian supplies"

through June will be held to $685.
600, 900 pounds. This takes care Of
the long-standing agreement with
Russia by providing 100000, 600
pounds - slightly more than the
present allotment-and the deeply
curtailed British allotment.
Limited supplies of meat for
feeding civilians in liberated areas
are being made available from
stocks held by the United King
DOM it was stated. The tighten
ed military allotment is necessary
because the Army is feeding some
2,l5O, 900 persons besides its own
personnel, a substantially higher
number of both soldiers and others
than at this time last year. The
non-military mouths to be fed in
clude civilians working for the Ar
my overseas, war prisoners, Fill
pinos, Free French and other al
lied fighting men, the Italian ar
my, and Italina labor units.
OPA was authorized to issue new
regulations governing commercial,
retail and farm slaughter, as well
as custom slaughter. These rules
are intended to increase the move
ment of cattle and hogs into fed
orally inspected slaughter houses.
Since only federally inspected meat
can move across state lines, the
effect should be to send more meat
into interstate channels, where it
will be available for military use
and civilian shortage areas.

Toughest Decision

Tommy Connolly, America
League umpire from 1900 10 1881,
in an interview with Leo Fischer
of the Chicago Herald-American,
recalled his toughest decision.
Here's the way he tells il:
1T was late in 1907 and the
American League race was
pretty tough. The Tigers. who
were out In front, were playing
the second place team, and De-
troit had gone into the ninth
one run behind. They got =
man on second with two out.
Up comes Ty Cobb. The OPP
posing manager told his pitcher
TO walk Ty. That was like waV-
ing red flag. On the third bail,
Cobb jumped over the plate and
belted the pitchout for a triple.
And there was I, with tho
fans goin' wild, the tieing run
In, the winnin' run on third
and nothin' to do but call Cobb
out for steppln' across the plate.
Well, I called it-and they al
most mObbed me. Twas q good
thing they had plenty Of police
In that park that day"
The sequel? Tom smiled as he
recalled il:
After the game, Ty shook
hands with me and told me 10
was a tough one, but 1 had
called IL right. Al IL any good
umpire could do anything elsew

Coach ThWdrts
Cage Bookies

NEW YORK, Jan. IL 'UP)-
Coach Nat Holman Of the City
College basketball team revealed
today that he had deliberately
instructed one of his players, Bill
Levine, TO decline a free throw in
order TO prevent bookmakefs from
making clean sweep on bets in
the c. c. N. Y.-SyracuSe game at
Madison Square Garden last night.
City College was a six to eight
point favorite, which meant that
bookmakers had given Syracuse
bettorS six points, but had taken
eight points on bets by City Col
lege supporters. At the time of
the foul on Levine, late in the
game, City led by six points. Had
Levine been permitted 10 shoot
and make the free throw. the
game probably would have ended
with City College seven points
ahead. giving the bookmakers win
ming bets on both sides.
when II gets 10 the point
where bookmakers instead of
the coaches try to run the game,
college basketball will be In bad
shape" Holman said. This time
l just happened to know the
betting odds and j didn't want
20 give them any satisfaction.
