Nazi Resistance WiU End By June 1st Auers Truman

two or possible three years more of fighting in the Pacific.
 Favorable progress of the Euro pean war may permit $10,00O. .000- 900 reduction in the War Depart ment appropriation for the fiscal year 1946 Snyder said. The appropri- ation for fiscal 1945 was $49, 9,0O0, ,OOO- 900.
 Every day the war in Europe is shortened saves us $200, ,000, GOO" Snyder said, adding that the Euro pean and Pacific wars now cost the country $500 100000 daily.
 Because of European war devel- opments, Snyder said his committee will delay opening its War Depart ment appropriations hearings until May 10.
 By that date we should have clearer picture of what is ahead of uG" Snyder explained. Further more, the delay gives the War De- partment chance to give Congress a more accurate report on expendi. lures for the last fiscal year."

Jops Overrun Leper Colony

Maryknoll, N. Y, April 25-(UP) Japanese troops have overrun the Ngai Moon Leper Colony in south ern Kwantrng province, China, killed many of its inmates and forced survivors into hiding in the hills, the Maryknoll Fathers said today.
 Word of the colony's fate was carried to Chungking by runner from Father John Joyce, of Scars dale, N. Y, in charge of the cole ony.
 The Leper colony is 200 miles in- side Japanese lines, the fathers said, but was long avoided by the enemy, who contented themselves with smelling it from 8 fort across the Ngai Moon River.
 Three-fourths of the $50 patients died of disease and undernourish- ment before they were directly at- tackled. the fathers said, and many more were killed by Japanese bull lets in the smelling and capture of the colony.
 Father Joyce and his assistant. Father Joseph Farnen of Balti- more. escaped to the hills with all the surviving lepers who could walk, 1t was said. An accurate count of survivors has been impoe- sible because of their scattered hid- ing places.

U s. Time President
 Plays Tolun s Verdict

Stating he was of the personal belief" that the recent refusal by town authorities to permit the U. s. Time Corporation to expand its Middlebury plants has resulted in but temporary delay, J. LehI- kuhl, president of the company, in his annual report, to the Stock- holders declared today that the de- cision of the town authorities "rals- es the question of whether the tra- ditional New England policy of en- couraging the expansion of indus tries has been abandoned here aboutS."
 Referring to the postwar period the president states: However not considering our Middlebury problem, and with all of our knowledge in this field of enterprise, with our war experience in the precision field, with our strengthened or ganization, there is no reason to be- lieve that we should be worse off than anybody else in our indus try"
 The company has been refused permission to expand its plant in Middlebury by the towns board of zoning appeals after the zoning board and building inspector had turned down similar requests. The company has now appealed to the comman pleas court in New Haven alleging in its writ that the board of appeals had aoused the discre- tion permitted under the building code.
 The president, in the report, dis closes that it will be several months" before the Little Rock, Arkansas plant will be opened. The plant is being constructed, it is said by officials, for immediate entry into the clock making field which has now been re-opened by govern ment order. The Waterbury build ing of the concern on Cherry ave- nue has been sold to the Benrus Clock Co.,, in anticipation of this move.
 Further reference to the post war era is made by MT. Lehmkuhl the following statement:
 We feel our stockholders should know that we are not ready to get quickly and painlessly back into

Washington, April 25-(UP-Or- ganized German resistance prob ably will end by June 1 and pocket resistance" by July 4, Rep. J. Buell. Snyder, D., Pa, predicted today after a conference with President Truman.
 Snyder, chairman of the House Subcommittee on War Department appropriations, said MT. Truman agreed with me" on these probable dates.
 We could have it all over by May 20 or June in Europe if we wanted to run our men into those danger ous pockets" Snyder said.
 However, Snyder added, American leaders are refusing to sacrifice their men needlessly adn are preferring to use artillery, aircraft and other mechanical means to blast resistance pockets.
 Snyder said he rhoped and prayed the Pacific war will be over in nine months or year." But, he continued, i've should prepare" for

Yonks Take New Height On Okinawo
BY FRANK TREMAINE

Guam, April 2. - (UP) - Seventh Division troops broke the Stalemate on Southern Okinawa today in seiz- ing a new height on the western sec- tor north of the capital city of Naha.
 Behind a pulverizing naval bom- bardment which blasted path through strong Japanese defenses, the Army troops hammered across the hilly terrain and captured an important high position west of Ishin village.
 Admiral Chester w. Nimitz also disclosed that elements of the Third Marine Amphibious Corps had landed on Heanza Island, east Of OkHlawa's Katchin Peninsula, and Kouri and Yagachi Islands north of Motobu Peninsula. There was no opposition at Heanza and Kouri, but some enemy remnants still were be- ing mopped up on Yagachi.
 The breakthrough in the south- ern line came as the Americans pre- pared the northern section of Oki- nawa for the next phase of the march on Japan and Tokyo radio admitted that nothing now seems possible to stop" the extermination of the Japanese nation.
 "The enemy seems bent upon us- ing them (B-29's) to utterly destroy the Yamato race in 8 manner far greater in fury than any bombings our Axis partners in Europe eXper- fenced" Tokyo said.
 The frank acknowledgement was made in Tokyo report disclosing that Superfortresses destroyed TO- 900 homes and rendered 3,13O,OOO person homeless at Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe and Nagoya.
 Crewmen of the Superfortresses which raided the Hitachi Aircraft pla,lt at Tachikawa, IA miles west of Tokyo, yesterday reported they "blew the factory all to hell" with several concentrations of bursts among buildings covering 100000 square feet.
 The B-29's, four of which are shot down 13 Japanese fighters during the attack and prob ably destroyed 18 others. The crew. men said they saw one Japanese plane strafing three parachuting Americans.
 Part of the fleet of some 15O Superfortresses which raided the plar1t for the first time, also hit the nearby Tachikawa Aircraft factory.

Nazis Movinq Into Denmark

Washington, April 25 - U.P) - Military observers said today the Nazis might hold out longer in Dem mark and Norway than they do in Germany itself if they follow out their declared intention to fight to the end.
 A rough estimate gave the Ger mans about three weeks more before they are cleaned up in northern Germany, and approximately six weeks in the so-called Nazi Redoubt in southern Germany.
 Supreme headquarters has stated more than once that victory will not bep reclaimed until German resist ance is ended and all major pockets of resistance wiped out.
 Reports that German forces have been observed moving into Den- mark caused speculation that the Nazis might be planning a last ditch defense there.

HitIer'sHome Hit By on
 Allied Bombs
BY LEO s. DISHER

London, April British Lancaster heavy bombers escorted by American fighter planes, attack ed Adolf Hitler's Bavarian retreat high in the Alps near Berchtesgad- en with six-ton earthquake bombs today.
 The air ministry announced the first air attack of the war on Hit ler's house in the Berchesgaden area.
 Big forces of American heavy bombers ranged over the Nazis ma tional redoubt" in the Alps today before the British heavies swept in to strike heavily at Hitler's house.
 American Mustang pilots escort ing the Lancasters over the Hitler hideout said the Nazis threw up an intense barrage of anti-aircraft fire.
 An official announcement said Hitler,s house, SS Elite Guard bar racks on the grounds, and his moun- tain refuge on Kehlstein, five miles from the house, were attacked.
 Separate forces of LancaSters car ried out the attacks between and 10 a. m. today 6 and 4 a. m. EWT). Two of the LancasterS are missing.
 The first announcement gave no hint of the effectiveness of the at tack. Significantly, however, it said the bombers attacked specific tar gets, and the practice heretofore has been to identify such pinpoint- ed objectives when the attack IS successful.
 Whether Hitler was in his noun tain hideout was uncertain. The Nazi radio says he is in Berlin per- sonally directing the defense of the city. Observers pointed out, how ever, that such a claim might be propaganda designed to help the morale of the Berlin garrison.
 First reports did not specify the size of the British squadrons which attacked the Berchtesgaden area.
 More than 25O Liberators of the U. s. Eighth Air Force bombed rail targets at Trainstein, 25 miles northwest of Berchtesgaden, at Salzburg, IS miles to the north; at Hallein, 10 miles northwest, and at Bad Reichenall, Is miles northwest.
 The concentration of Allied air power on the Berchtesgaden area coincided with sweep by It. Gen. George s. Patton's Third Army

Varied Speculation
 On Court Setup Here

With the tentative compromise effected yesterday by legislative leaders of both parties of the Gen. eral assembly as to minor court judgeShips and ofdceS, Waterbury, $ city court situation became one of wide and varied speculation today.
 Yesterdays compromise, if actu- ally put into effect, would result in a 50-50 division of patronage here with any odd "plums" left over go- ing to the Democrats because of the latter's incumbency. Similar com- promises have been made in previ- ous legislative sessions only to fall apart, in most instances, during the final week of actual appointments resulting in both parties scrambling to get that which was available.
 At present the entire city court here is Republican, which has led to some speculation that the Demo- crats may insist on more than a 50-50 division this year. However. compromises are often predicated upon other compromises and the split, as planned, may be adhered to.
 Names of various attorneys are being prominently mentioned as candidates for the available posts. On the Democratic side these in- clude: for judgeship, paying 5000 annually, former Judge John Calf ney; for prosecutor, paying $4,O00 annually, Attys. Gordon Hutchinson, William Lawlor, Harry Spellman and Carmen Cipriano. Attorney Thomas McGrath likewise is said to be considering seeking the post of either judge or prosecutor.
 Waterbury has 10 positions in its city court makeup. These are: two judgeships at $5,0OO each now held by Charles. Summa and T. E. Con- way, Republican appointees; two prosecutors, now filled by AttyS., AL bert Hummel and Fred Palomba, Republican appointees; clerk of the court paying $4 900 held by Atty. AL bert Bronsky, COP appointee; Asst clerk of courts (Small ClaimS) held by Patrick DeCicco also 8 Repub- lican, male probation officer post held by Atty. Yale Matzkin also a Republican. Three other posts are those of assistant to the clerk pay ing $2.000; stenographer for the pro- bation officer paying $780 and a stenographer of the Small Claims

Nozis Flee
 From Milan
BY J. EDWARD MURRAY

Rome, April 25-(UP) = Allied Armies struck north from the Pc River in Northern Italy today to within 30 miles of Verona, gateway to the Brenner Pass.
 Swiftly expanding their bridge heads across the Pc, Gen. Mark w. Clark's forces joined the race to trap remnants of Adolf Hitler's armies in his national redoubt in the Bavarian Alps.
 Both the Fifth and Eighth Ar mics were advancing north of the Pc toward the Brenner Pass, back door to the redoubt, against weak ening German resistance, Allied Force headquarters reported.
 The Eighth Army at Bogoforte was less than 30 miles from Vero- na and held 8 50-mile front along the Pc from there to Ferrara.
 French First Army and Amer ican Seventh Army units were only 90 miles from the northern en- trance to the Brenner pass at Innsbruck, while Third Army troops were driving toward it from She north.
 Headquarters revealed that the Fifth Armys Tenth Mountain Div ision spearheaded the push across the Pc, establishing the first bridge head Monday morning, April 23, after 8 55-mile drive in two days.
 With their last natural barrier south of the Alps smashed, the Germans were in confused state. Front reports said Na1 divisions were broken. and their battalions were operating more and more on their own.
 Meanwhile, Swiss dispatches said that the Germans were evacuating the great northern Italy City of Milan. The Zurich Newspaper, Neue Zuercher, said heavily-loaded trucks were streaming eastward. The paper also reported continu- ation of the railworkers' strike in Milan.

PATTON'S ARMY ROUTS CRACK
 NAz| TROOPS
BY BOYD D. LEWIS

Paris, April 25. - CUP) - It. Gen. George s. Patton's American Third Army raced for the Austrian border and the Salzach valley gate to Berchtesgaden today, stam- peding thousands of crack Nazi troops 80-odd miles from Adolf Hitler's Bavarian death roost.
 Field dispatches said the Germans were breaking into a confused and disorderly rout before the Third Army drive, falling back 30 miles and more a day over the last approaches to the Bavarian redoubt.
 Pattons men officially were re- ported 30 miles from the Austrian border, 52 miles from the entrance to the Salzach valley and fewer than 90 miles due north of Berch- tesgaden late last night.
 But his dough-riding tank col- rlmns were meeting little or no op- position all along their 100-mile front, and the speed of their ad- vance indicated they might be 30 miles closer to their goal before nightfall.
 Patton's vanguards were fewer than 120 miles from Red Army forces pounding along the south bank of the Danube about no miles northeast of Berchtesgaden.
 More than 19,000 hand-picked NaM Elite Guards were captured by the Third Army yesterday and thousands more were being overrun and surrounded by the Americans fo9ward tank columns. |~--fks the center of their line, Pat tons men were storming the Danu- bian fortress of Regensbtlrg, while their western wing ramned down within 52 miles of Munich, capital of Bavaria and the birthplace of Nazism.
 On Patton's southwestern flank, It. Gen. Alexander M. Patch's American Seventh Army poured flood of men and armor through seven bridgeheads across the Dan- ube, with their vanguards barely 40 miles northwest of Munich.
 French First Army forces farther to the southwest were rolling east. ward along the German-Swiss from tier around the shores of Lake Con- stance and were rapidly clearing out thousands of trapped Germans in the three pockets behind their lines.
 Far to the north, the Americans First and Ninth armies deployed along the Elbe and Nude rivers
