Me,p England Struggles
Against Storm; 19 Dead

BOSTON, Feb. g. CUP New
England still struggled tonight to
free itself from the grip of one of
the worst billiards in its history
which caused at least 10 deaths,
paralyzed transportation, and seri-
ously hampered war production.
Food and fuel deliveries virtual
ly were at a standstill. Many COM
munities still were without light
and power as highway crews bat
tied through 12-foot drifts to re-
store service. Train and bus serv-
ice was reported only spasmodic.
President Frank H. Larkin of the
Retail Fuel Institute at Boston said
the fuel delivery situation was the
worst in his memory, and that
home deliveries probably couldn'
be made until sometime n e X t
week. Retail food chains reported
extreme difficulty in moving food
stocks. Officials said priority was
being given to milk and bread
deliveries which were being moved
ahead of meat and vegetables.
The Automobile Legal Associa-
ton said after a survey of New
England highway conditions that
it probably would be late tomor-
row before anything like normal
transportation could be resumed.
The Boston & Maine railroad re-
ported that near normal service
The Wilmington morning star., 1945-02-10

would be restored by tomorrow
morning.
The New England Telephone and
Telegraph Co. said that it's offices
in II communities were operating
on emergency power and that a.
900 lines and 10000 telephones were
out of service in southeastern Mas
sachusetts and Rhode Island.
Some $50 snow plows and 1000
men, including Coast Guardsmen
and other servicemen, were busy
clearing Massachusetts State high
ways which were blocked by high
drifted snow and hundreds of STALL
ed trucks.
Boston's official snowfall of IA
inches equalled that of the great
St. Valentine day blizzard of 1910
which crippeled the area for nearly
a week. At the Bulehill Observa-
tory in suburban Milton, la t
nights storm left II inches of
snow. The total snow on the ground
at Boston proper was 10 inches.
The Weather Bureau said tn e
principal areas affected by h e
storm were eastern Connecticut,
Rhode Island, eastern Massachu-
sets, southeastern New Hampshire
and eastern Maine. In this entire
section at least one foot of snow
fell.

Observers In Neutral
Countries Watch For
Axis Escapes

WASHINGTON, Feb. O. iPl -
American observers in Spain and
Portugal are keeping sharp look
out these days for fleeing Nazi
war criminals. acting Secretary of
State Grew disclosed today.
At the same time he called indf-
rectly for definite assurances from
neutral countries that they will
not harbor Axis ring leaders who
escape from Germany.
The subject came up for thor
ough airing at Crews news confer
ence. in connection w i h reports
that Britain and Argentina made
secret agreement last summer
by which the Argentines pledged
themselves to shut their doors
against Hitler and his ilk.
The agreement was revealed in
Buenos Aires after Lord Vansittart
had criticized Argentina and 9TH
err neutrals in a speech in t h e
House of Lords at London three
days ago. ''-
The Argentines were reported as
saying that this constituted a vio-
lation of the agreement; that Brit
ain had promised to refrain from
such criticism in return for the
assurances. Britain Informed the
United States of h e correspon-
dence. That was the only part
Washington had in this particular
phase of war criminal precautions.
There is still concern in official
quarters here, however, over Ar
gentina's future treatment OF Ger
man leaders if they should escape
there. and Grew was also asked
about that. He responded by say
ing this government has no evil
dence that Germans are escaping
to the Argentine through Spain or

Himmler Takes Complete
Charge OF Last-Ditch
Defense. Plans

LONDON, Feb. 9.-(P1Heinrich
Himmler and his Gestapo held
down the lid today on a German
Reich heaving under increasing in
vasion blows from east and west.
Reports from continental sourc-
es, including Berlin itself, gave a
picture of Nazi fanatics battling
chaos in anticipation of a last
ditch fight within the imperilled
capital and beyond that in the in
termost reaches of the country.
Himmler, emerging as the Ma
zis' imam of steel" called upon
the besieged garrison of Schneide-
muehl to hold that strongpoint For
me-" This message, broadcast by
the German DNB agnecy, made
no mention of Fuehrer Hitler, but
another DNB dispatch said that on
Himmler's recommendation Hitler
had decorated two elite guards
men for heroism in fighting the
Russians.
The fate Of Germans who fail
to stand fast was illustrated in the
announced execution of another
mayor, a man named Schroeder,
of the little town of Koenigsberg,
between Stettin and Berlin. T h e
German radio announced he had
been hanged for leaving his town
without receiving evacuation Or
ders."
This was the third such execu-
ton announced by Berlin within a
fortnight.
The Moscow radio said another
execution occurred in Armstadt,
in southwestern Germany, W h n
"Volkssturm battalions ordered to
the Eastern Front mutinied."
1.-THE mutiny was suppressed and
ringleader shot" it said.
Inside Berlin the Nazis feverish-
ly pressed defense preparations un-
der Himmler's direction.
The German Transocean agen-
cy said barbados and firing points
were rising everywhere and that
tanks rumbled through the streets.
Swedish correspondents said h
Germans were fearful Of parachute
attacks, and that the eastern SUBJ
urbs had been evacuated.

gThreeHeld
Planning Fast
Reich Control
Conference Believed Ready
For Collapse OF Ger
man Regime

LONDON, Feb. g. (P) The
Big Three, realizing the posi-.
bility of a sudden collapse of
military and civilian resistance in
huge areas of Germany under
pressure of the joint Allied Of
fensive, are believed whipping
plans into shape for OCCUPYING the
Reich at moments notice.
Well-informed quarters here
suggested that President Roose-
welt, Prime Minister Churchill and
Premier Stain possibly are pre-
pairing two occupation plans, I'M
der the first of which specialized
forces are being alerted now for
emergency duty. The second plan
would provide forces for long
term assignment.
There are indications that spe-
cialized troops already are being
concentrated on the fringes OF
Germany to take over quickly
when all Or part of the country
collapses. This force includes
civil affairs experts and teams
of the United Nations Relief and
Rehabilitation Administration.
With Nazi military forces being
withdrawn to the south and south
east, British officials said north
ern Germany might collapse at
any time. They based this belief
on reports from inside the Reich
that many sections of northern
Germany already are showing
signs of progressive decay.
In any event, the Big Three
probably will shape their plans
to the extent they will not be
caught mapping by any develop
ment.
Germany already has been re
duced to the heartland between
the Rhine and the Oder rivers by
the American and Russian
offensives. Roughly cne-fifth Of
the so-called German Reich will
have been occupied when the Rus
slams reach the Oder line on its
full length. The enemy already
is feeling the loss Of highly pro
ductive areas.
Military and economic experts
express doubt that Nazi authori-
ties themselves can yet form a
clear picture of their losses ir
men, materials and resources in
recent weeks. Polish districts
overrun by the Russians produc-
ed considerable agricultural sur
pluses, especially in grain, pota-
toes and sugar beets.
Large stocks of potatoes have
been left behind by the retreating
Germans. Sugar factories in Pa
land and Silesia were at the height
of their season and food factories
still were engaged in processing
last years harvest. AS result
of this loss, it already has been
necessary to reduce German food
rations. d
Adding to the confusion inside
the Reich is the problem of trans
portation. Where previousE the
country was divided into careful
ly balanced transport zones for
each foodstuff, there now is but
little organization.
