WITH THE AMERICAN 7th
ARMY IN GERMANY, May 23.-
Allied Military Government officials
in Bavaria and Austria are getting
a lot of voluntary help from self
styled anti-Nazi groups, but are
steering clear of political entangle-
ments.
Members of the Austrian resist
ance movement are being used for
police and health and service activi-
ties. The situation in Austria is
such that officers said there might
be some relaxation of the rigid nom
fraternization rules imposed on all
Allied troops in enemy country.
But it is not the same in Bavaria.

that as much as 80 per cent of the

In Munich, birthplace of Nazidom,

Shoes:
Tight Eli !

Forced to renege on its promise
of validating another shoe stamp for
children this spring, OPA found IT.
self compelled to go one step far
Their in conserving the tight supply
of footwear by limiting vets to two
stamps in book and new babies to
one-in the latter case, to prevent
use of more stamps by adults.
Though OPA later backtracked on
its promise to increase children's
shoe rationing in recognition Of their
greater use of footwear, 1t said $780,
600, 900 pairs Of part leather or COM
position shoes would be produced for
sale to both youths and adults with
out stamps. However, few of these
shoes have reached dealers hands.
Factor in the continued shoe
shortage, OPA officials said, was
the under-supply of full grown and
fattened steers, which produce the
best leather. Because stockers have
trimmed their feeding Of these ami
mails on complaint of unfair ceiling
prices, decreased amounts of this
leather is available.

much like the housekeeping setup

Mrs. Truman - I wish White
Houses weren't compulsory. Why
can't a president live in a little
place he likes and just keep house
like this for special events and Wis
itors?
The President - That would suit
me, honey. But traditions are tradi-
tons, even when they make you
pretty miserable. A shebang as big
as this takes plenty Of getting used
to.

be worse.

Mrs. Truman - I'd still settle for
an old-fashioned Missouri kitchen

where I could find 'em without call

MEAT:
Supply Cut

Ringing true to predictions that
the meat situation would grow even
tighter, OPA revealed 21S per cent
cut in supplies this month from April,
with slightly more veal, lamb, NUT
ton and pork Offset by about 9,000,-
600 pounds less beef.
At the same time, OPA announced
that rationing would be extended to
cover 99k per cent of all available
meat items, with only about 5,O00,-
900 pounds of mutton left on a point
free basis Gull and utility grades
of veal and lamb and the breasts,
shanks, necks and TANKS of those
meats were put on the red-point
list.
So that the amount Of red points
would jibe with the available sup
plies of meat, point values were
upped, with increases of from one
to two points a pound for most cuts
Of all grades of lamb and veal and
one point a pound on most beef
steaks. Utility grades Of veal and
lamb viii possess the same ration
values as the better types.

WHEAT:
Big Carryouer

With surplus wheat stocks of the
U. S., Canada, Argentina and Aus
tralia expected to total approxi-
mately 10000, 900 bushels on July I,
the Bureau of Agricultural Econorn-
les reported that this amount would
be sufficient for world trade without
compelling any Of the countries to
draw upon carryovers for 1945.
In the U. S. alone, the bureau
said, surplus may reach $50, 000, 900
to 375, 100000 bushels in view of the
difficulty Of exporting sizable guam
titles because of the shortage Of
freight cars for shipment to ports.
Unless a great many more cars
are available for movement of
wheat which has piled up in country
elevators and on farms during the
last five months, it was said, not
only the export program for lend
lease and foreign relief may be
hampered but also the handling Of
the prospective large 1945 crop. III "a

EUROPE:
Trap Closes

Trap Closes
With Adolf Hitler himself directing
the city's defenses, Berlin stood as
a burning symbol as combined U. S.,
British, Russian and French armies
sought a speedy knockout of Ger
man remnants to bring the war to
an early conclusion.
Of all the savage city fighting Of
World War II fighting which left
such historic centers as Warsaw and
Vienna in ruin-none approached the
ferocity of the battle for Berlin,
where German women and even
children repeatedly joined the $780,
600 army defenders in fanatical
attempt to curb the Russian steam
roller.
With both Germans and Russians
fighting with burning hatred for
each other, the battle swirled from
house to house through rubble
strewn streets, with massed Red
artillery and air fleets steadily re-
ducing enemy strongpoints. Said
Russian correspondents: Each
stone of the city, each meter of
street, is against us. We have to
take them with our blood"
AS the Reds wise closed on
embattled Berlin and Hitler ex-
posed himself to one of the most
dramatic captures in history,
elements Of the two Russian
armies attacking the city swept
beyond it westward for juno
ton with American troops along
the Elbe and Nude rivers.
Meanwhile, still another Red
force smashed past Stettin to
drive westward along the Bal
tic coast and join British troops
whiting Nazi pockets in the
north.
Working together to finish off the
Germans in the north, the allies
also cooperated to K. o. them in
the south, with two drives aiming
to smash the Nazis' Wanted ma
tional redoubt in the Bavarian Alps
and pinch off the great arsenal Of
Czechoslovakia.
In the first instance, the French
LIST army, the U. S. 7th and 9th and
the Russians rode hard on the enc
my's mountain hideout from the
west, north and east in an attempt
to enter it before fanatical SIS men
could steady themselves for stand.
In the other instance, the U. S. 3rd
army pushed into Czechoslovakia
from the west while Russians
moved in from the east, with the
Yanks also swinging southwark into
Austria for a hookup with the
Reds. Thus was solid ring of steel
forged around Hitler's last iYnpor-
tant industrial area.
In Italy, fast U. S. and British
motorized columns and low-f1ying
planes shot up retreating Nazi troop
columns falling back on the Alps
to the north. Italian partisans fast
took over administration Of this last
stronghold Of Mussolini's.

The doctors tell me this is
impossible. So I suggested
to my husband that he find
a proper partner who would
agree 10 having his baby

In cross-examination, Mrs.

known all about Private
Macfarlane from the first,
that she had visited her and
