Nozis Marked For Knockout
 Blow Shortly
BY REUEL S. MOORE

Washington, F'eb.- g. (UP) An nouncement that the big three were making detailed plans for the final phase" of the European war seemed today to mark Germany for the knockout blow before next summers end.
 'There is complete agreement for join' military operations in the final phase of the war against Nazi Ger many said the official announce ment of the current big three con- ference. "The military staffs of the three governments are now engaged in working out jointly the detailed plans"
 Observers felt that military lead. CTS would not be formulating "de- tails plans" for the final phase" until they felt confident that this phase would be completed within a relatively short time.
 Much significance was seen in the statement that the plans are being formulated jointly" by the military staffs of the three governments. They believed that such joint plan- ming meant there would be much closer collaboration henceforth be- tween the eastern and western Euro pean fronts.
 Use of the phrase "joint military operations in the final phase of the war" did not necessarily mean that Russian and British or American troops would literally be fighting side y-side, these observers be-. lieved, but it did Sh " clearly that operations on the two fronts woultl be coordinated and made to dove'' tail.
 A timetable for bringing Ger many to her knees undoubtedly has been, or is being, drafted. Such schedules would have to be or is be- ing, drafted. Such schedule would have to be elastic, of course, but it would be established either by ex- act dates or a range of dates de- pending on achievement of certain successive steps.
 Some observers believed that fl the Russians succeed in crossing the Oder in force now and drive a fianking movement into the plains north or south of Berlin, the vest ern Allies will hurl everything they can assemble into 8 simultaneous assault on the western front.
 Such & western offensive might be only half as forceful as could (Continued on Page A

Trapped Jops SheIIed Hard
By FRANCIS MCCARTHY

Manila, Feb. 8.-(UP)-American troops killed off the last Japanese resistance in northern Manila today and loosed a heavy artillery barrage on the surviving enemy forces holeG up in the blackened, burning south- ern half of the capital.
 Vanguards of the U. s. 11th Air borne Division were cutting thell way slowly into the Japanese rear from the south, but the main Amer ican forces were stalled temporarily along the north bank of the Pasig river, which bisects Manila from east to west.
 American hopes for quick thrust across the river to wipe out the surviving enemy were dashed Tues day night when party of Japa- nese sappers blew up the last of the four Pasig bridges-the Jones span leading into the old walled city.
 Their foray nullified the work of a daring American naval officer who a few hours earlier had dashed through hail of gunf1re to re- move sputtering demolition charge from the bridge.
 Cut off from all supply and re- inforcement, the Japanese still were fighting back defiantly in the south- ern half of the city, battling deSper- ately to hold the 11th airborne of their backs and hurling artillery and mortar fire across the Pasig river into northern Manila.
 Some of the enemy shells were landing in the Santo Tomas uni- versity grounds, where thousanos

Washington, February 8. - CUP) - Secretary of War Henry L. Stim- son told a press conference today that Manila Harbor soon will be re- opened to American shipping.
 This was regarded as clear indi- cation that American forces soon will undertake the re-conquest or Corregidor, island fortress in the harbor where American and Filipino forces made their last valiant stand in the early days of the war.

 Stimson said the severance of Japan from conquered territories to the south has already largely been accomplished by American warships and planes.
 Manila and Luzon give us also new bases, with plenty of elbow room for the next stage of the war against Japan" he said. He pointed out the Philippine capital is only 600 miles from Hong Kong and For mosa and 1,60O miles from Tokyo.
 Asked whether General Douglas Macarthur would be given com mand of the final assault on Ja- pans inner defenses, Stimson said 1t was policy to make such an- nouncements as soon as security permitted, but that he had no dis closures to make at this time on the matter.

Hope Raised For Agreement On Germans Straightjacket
BY LYLE c. WILSON

Washington, Feb. 8.-(UP)-An- nouncement of the Big Three con- ference raised great hope today that the meeting in the Black Sea area is reaching real agreement on Flu ropes peace time future and the tyle of Germany's post-surrender straitjacket.
 President Roosevelt, Prime Min- ister Winston Churchill and Pre- mier Josef V. Stalin have agreed on the startegy to insure Germany's military defeat. Now they have begun politicala nd economic talks. These latter are the key to the fu- ture, perhaps the most important conversations in the memory of any living person.
 The world will pay for any mis- takes made on the Black Sea shores and benefit from all wise decisions.
 MT. Roosevelt is believed to have told Churchill and Stalin that the U. s. prefers not to participate in the long-term policing of Germany. It is understood that task is to be as- signed to Great Britain and the Soviet Union with the possible as- Sistance of France. We would par ticipate directly in postwar occu- patton but for limited time only.
 Compromises by all three toward mutual overall agreements general ly are pected. Assurances that United States troops would not be among the semi-permanent Eu- ropean police detail could count count heavily toward winning American acceptance of such com- promises as the President may have to make.
 Both MT. Roosevelt and Chur- chill are reported planning to speed directly home from the conference to rally public support. Tentatively scheduled side trips apparently have bene abandoned.
 Official announcement that the Roosevelt Stalin Churchill meet ing was taking place was made simultaneously yesterday in Lon don, Moscow and Washington. Ber- lin already had accurately broken UllC 1lCWO O4 OAAAAC uAANA PAUSS'

BY SAM SOUKI

Cairo, Feb. 8.-UP)-President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Chur- chill and Premier Stalin opened their conference Monday at town somewhere in the Black Sea area which earlier in the war teemed with German troops, it was report cd today.
 MT. Roosevelt and Churchill reached the rendezvous first, and worked like beavers while waiting Sunday afternoon, according to re- liable reports here.
 Five-star American generals, Bri- tish field marshals and Soviet mili- tary leaders were believed to have started their conferences six days ago as a prelude to the second meeting of MT. Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin.
 The first phase of the confer ence was entirely military. Later the diplomats joined in the talks. Some of the greatest military fig ures of the war got together and spent long hours in discussions car- ried out in cordial atmosphere, according to the reports.
 One of the most striking features of the conference was said to be the way the Russians were taking no chances with the security of the Allied leaders. Troops guarded a

ELECTRIC CHAIR FOR zUkAUSKAS
SOv|ETS WIDEN BR|DGEHEAD ON WAY TO BERLIN
BY ROBERT MUsEL

London, February 8. - (UP) = Moscow dispatches said today that Russian Forces waging a violent battle for the bridgeheads across the Oder before Der line were developing a flank ing drive to cut the Frank furt-Berlin road and isolate the key bastion on the west bank of the river.
 The German high com mand said Marshal Gregory K. Zhukov's assault troops had established an unspecl- fled number of footholds on the west bank of the Oder along a 35-mile arc facing Berlin, and supplementary Nazi broadcasts reported that the Soviet bridgeheads had been Widened.
 A German military spokesman said the Russians had four bridge heads over the Oder east of Berlin two minor" ones at Fuerstenberg, one south of Frankfurt which was enlarged somewhat int he last "A hours," and fourth at Goeritz, south of Kuestrin.
 zhukov's armored vanguards were reported by Moscow to have ripped into the northern suburbs of Kues- trin and into the eastern fringe or Frankfurt, while massive infantry formations surged up to the Oder and stemped out virtually all of the German toeholds on the east bank.
 "The battle for the Soviet bridge heads on the west bank of the Oder ragged unabatedly, with the Russians developing drive to cut the Frank furt-Berlin road and isolate the bastion city," United Press Core spondent Henry Shapiro reported from Moscow.
 Although the Red Army command !

 Frankfurt lies on the west bank of the Oder B miles from the city limits of Berlin. Sufficient Russian progress for a swing in behind this key city would raise the possibility of an approach within 30 miles or less of the bomb-scarred and refu- Al

Fuel Men Opposing
 State Freeze Rule

Members of Waterbury's fuel com mittee and similar committees throughout the state were sched- u1ed to meet with State Fuel Adm. Seth w. Darley relative to his re- cent directive ordering the freezing of five percent of all fuel inventor les in the state. The directive in- cludes domestic sized anthracite coal and coke, low volatile bitumi- ous coal, kerosene and household fuel oil of all types.
 Local dealers are believed to be generally opposed to the directive on the basis that it's application concerns such stocks as 8 reserve of which already exists. It is the be- lief of the majority of these dealers that such stocks already are suffi- cent to meet any further emergen- cies, and by restricting 8 certain percentage of their output it neces- sarily means restrictions of the in- diviual consumers.
 Darley's directive is to be effec- tive today an also calls for the pooling, by dealers, of all reserves whereby dealers with low inventor ies may share in those of others.
 This latter phase has met with sharp criticism by local dealers who state that actually such diversion can be effected only during the transit period. Already some deal CTS have invited others with deplet- ed inventories to share in their sup ply.
 The local fuel emergency office remains open from to p. m. daily and may be contacted by calling 5-O101 during these hours. Residents are urged to call only during those hours to receive the services offered by the office.

Italy Terms Quite Harsh
By RILEY c. MOORE

Washington, Feb. 8-(UP)-A congressional source said today that the Italian armistice terms call upon Italy to give up all her colonies. turn over the Mediterranean island of Pantellaria to Great Britain, and possibly cede the Adriatic port of TriSte to YugoSlavia.
 The armistice terms, signed on Sept. 3, 1943, have never been made public despite considerable agita- tion in this country and in Italy. The White House, state department and war department have repeat edly declined to do so on grounds of military security. The controversy over the Italian armistic terms is based on charges that they are too harsh, and Italian sources have felt that is why the Allies never have made them public.
 The congressional source said the terms were so harsh that Italian Premier Ivanoe Bonimo sent Pres dent Roosevelt a 100-page letter

Allied Drive Against Ruhr
 Seems Likely
By BOYD LEWIS

Paris, Feb. 8.-(UP)-American tanks and infantrymen overran the Siegfried line bastion of Schmidt today. The surge if power thretaen- ed to engulf the Roer river dams and clear the way for general AL lied offensive against the German Ruhr and Rhineland to the north.
 On a front of more than 75 miles the American First and Third arm- ies were on the move, ripping into or through the German west wall at score of points.
 Alarmed German Spokesmen said the long-dormant American Ninth and British Second Army fronts al- so were stirring to life in the open ing stages of new offensive.
 The Nazi fears were pointed up by an RAF assault last night on German troops, supply centers and communications lines in the path Of the Second and Ninth armies.
 More than 700 British heavy bombers led off the night strike, dropping great weight of high ex- plosive sand Augmentation bombs on concentrations of Nazi troops and equipment massed behind the northern corner of the Siegfried line between Cleve and Goch.
 RAF Mosquito raiders followed through with punishing attacks on Kassel, Mainz, CoblenZ, Hanover, DuesSeldor andf DuiSburg, as well as the central German city of Mag deburg.
 Attack Brewing
 Allied headquarters remained si- lent on German reports that big offensive in the north was imiment. One enemy version said an Allied airborne attack on the Arnhem scale was brewing.
 At the northern end of the First Army front, however, It. Gen.
