these hot points and won significant
victories.
The spearheads, therefore, were
considerably closer to Berlin than
the 81 to 80 miles indicated by these
positions
1t was through these holes, Mos
cow said, that the most menacing
threat was developing with some
advance units perhaps within Is
miles of the fortified city Of Frank
furt on the Oder, 40 miles from Ber-
! lin.
Along his front of 80 miles Zhukov
had developed an impressive op-
Grating area from which he might
strike out to storm across the Oder
at any one of number of places,
From Kustrin to Crossen there
were four bridges still standing, ac-
cording to Russian reports, but they
probably were mined and the Ger
mans were still engaged in dyna-
miting possible ice bridges all the
way from Kustrin to, Silesia.
On his extreme right flank in
Northeastern Pomerania Zhukov
pushed on from captured Ratze-
buhr to within miles of Neustet-
tin and only about IS miles from the
Baltic in a drive to seal off the
rest of the Polish Corridor and part
Of Pomerania.
so Miles From Kostin.
Zhukov was only about so miles
from Kostin, where he would cut
the last land escape route from
DanZig.
He thus was fashioning a third
big trap along the Baltic, the others
being in the dwindling German
held portion of East Prussia and the
Liepaja Peninsula in Latvia.
Northwest of Konigsburg in East
Prussia the Russians were within
sight of the Bay of Danzig after
moving around to the north of the
Junkers' capital and clamping a
hold on both sides of the city.
The Soviets remained silent on
their Silesian offensive, but Moscow
dispatches said Marshal Ivan Konev
was building up his 1st Ukrainian
Army supply lines to bridgeheads
across the Oder on both sides of
Breslau and would not remain in
active long.
Critical Phase Near.
Both Moscow and Berlin reflected
the belief that a critical phase of
the Russian offensive was near. The
Moscow radio called on the Germans
to surrender and avert impending
catastrophe, while the Nazis-hint-
ing at strong countermeasures-
promised "the bloodiest disappoint-
ment" for the Russians.
While German commentators
painted Berlin as nonchalant, neu-
tral travellers arriving in Stockholm
said the refugee-packed city was
panic stricken and that antiaircraft
defenses were being stripped of their
guns for use against the oncoming
Russians.
Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph
Goebbels told the German people
"it's just before zero hour" The
German military radio ordered a
death stand in defense of the capital
More than 5000 Germans were
killed and 4,417 captured yesterday

TRUMAN TO HAVE
BUSY CHRISTMAS

WASHINGTON, Dec. % - U.H -
President Truman will be one Of the
busiest holiday celebrants in the
nation
He will put in a full day at his
desk Monday, although the rest
of the federal government is TAX
ing a holiday, and then will fly
to Missouri to spend Christmas day
and the two days following with
the home folks. He plans to eat
or at least be present at-three
separate Christmas dinners.
Mr., Truman's Christmas activi-
ties really began yesterday after
noon when he distributed gifts
to several hundred White House
employees and members of his
staff.
On Monday evening the Presi'
dent will light the national COM
munity Christmas Tree on the south
lawn of the White House. He will
make six-minute addre broad
cast on all major networks.
At $3.50 am, Christmas morn
ing, the Presidents plane will take
off for Missouri. Mr.. Truman plans
to land at Kansas City about Ills
pm, and motor to his home in
Independence.
The first of his Christmas din
ners will be with his wife. daughter
and mother-in-law. The other two
will be with his 96-year-old aunt,
Mrs. ]. T. Nolan. who lives across
the street from him in Independ-
ence, and with his 93-year-old
mother, Mrs. Martha Truman. who
lives about 40 miles away in Grand
view, Mo.
The President, a light eater,
Will not, according to the best
White House advice, really eat
all three meals. He will merely be
present at them, in accordance
with his annual custom. But he
is expected to put together the
equivalent of one good turkey din
ner from the three.
The President may go to Kansas
City one day during his visit to
greet some of his old political
acuaintances. He still maintains
the office he kept there when he
was a senator.
The weather in Independence,
which did not escape the recent
heavy snow, may preclude extern
sive activity there, it is believed.
