vETSkT CENTER
 BREAK VOW TO
 KEEP OFF BOATS
nv IOHN BELFORD, Jr.

Limited Press Stan COrrespOndent) Hot Springs. Ark. April g. CUP)- There's a standing VOW among sol- diers who have suffered from sea- sickness and other hardships dur ing their journeys aboard crowded troop transports that they will never take a boat ride again Of their own volition.
 But the natural beauties of Lake Catherine near here and the urge to see how things look from the middle of the lake have broken down the boat -allergies" of num- erous overseas veterans sent to the Army Redistribution Center here.
 In fact, boating has proved one of the most popular sports among returnees who visit the Redistribu- ton Center's Lake Catherine Lodge.
 The Army has two 60-and 130- horsepower speedboats at the lake as well as a number of other fish ing craft. This small fleet will be supplemented with additional boats to be purchased soon.
 Fight to Keep Elm Out
 Despite the derogatory remarks about boats and boating in general, ~you have to fight to keep 'em out of our boats," said Sgt. William 2. Rumburg, who superviseS the outdoor activities at the Lodge.
 Army 5usses make daily trips to the lodge with returned veterans and their guests, who have a choice of boating, fishing. picnicking, vol ley ball, badminton, archery, horse shoe pitching, hiking-or just plain loafing around.
 So far, none of the soldier-fish- ermen has reported any record catches. However, for those whc do have 8 lucky day with the rod and reel, the stations mess de- tachment at the Arlington hotel provides real service.
 The only thing required of the soldier is that he catch the fish From that point on, the mess de- tachment takes over. The fish is cleaned, cooked to order and ther served in true Southern" style tc the returnee and his guests in the beautiful Arlington dining hall.
 With summer fast approaching the Army is rushing plans to inn prove facilities at the Lake Cath crime Lodge and beautify the grounds.
 Park Leased From State
 Plans announced call for land scaping of the grounds, redecora- tion of the building interiors, con- struction of an 80-foot swimming dock, and the building of flagstont walks, barbecue pits and outdoor fireplaces.
 Other plans revealed by Col John P Wheeler, commanding of- ficer of the Redistribution Station include the purchase of new furni- ture for the lodge and other equip ment. An outdoor basketball cour is also planned.
 The lodge and other properties of the Lake Catherine State Park leased from the state for the us' of the returning war veterans, wer, built by the COG. Construction wss started more than five year ago, but was interrupted by tn , war
 Those soldiers who spent year in the Pacific, the Aleutians ant Europe thought they had seer enough outdoor life to last life time.

 Radio Moscow reported that SS Gen. Sepp Dietrich, ruthless NaZi commander in Vienna, had been as- sassinated by patriots who pumped five revolver shots into him at vir- tually point-blank range while he was en route to give a pep talk to his troops.
 Dietrich, one of Hitler's favorite commanders. had been in command of the Sixth panzer army in the Ardennes breakthrough last Decem- Der before being shifted to Vienna
 Moscow also broadcast an official declaration asserting that Red army troops had entered Austria as lib- orators with no territorial ambitions or claims. Russia will cooperate 1T restoring Austria'spre-Anschlu in dependence, the declaration said.
 Tolbukhin issued a proclamation promising that Vienna's liberation was near and calling upon the populace to prevent the Germans from mining the city, blowing uT bridges or footing.
 He said the Nazi party in Arstria would be disbanded, but added that It's members would not be molestec if they cooperated with the Rec army.
