cornered Nazis blew the great zui- der Zee dike at Oosterland, 40 miles north of Amsterdam, sending 8 huge wall of water rolling down across the Lowlands.
 The Nazis apparently were plan ming to dig in behind the flooded areas to fight delaying action that promised them no better end than the bloody disaster of the Ruhr.
 All organized resistance in the Ruhr itself ended early today with the destruction of all but handful of die-hard Germans in the Dussel- dorf sector along the Rhine.
 3O0,O00 Prisoners
 More than 100000 prisoners were taken by the American First and Ninth Armies in the clean up of the Ruhr, adding up to military catastrophe probably never before inflicted on German arms.
 That triumph swelled the Allied Western Armies bag of prisoners between D-Day and last> Tuesday night to 2,093,002 officers and men.
 Front dispatches from the U. &. Ninth Army line along the Elbe re- vealed that the Tanks had cleared an 80-mile stretch of the rivers west bank jutting in to within 45 miles of Berlin. The last big Ger man strongpoint on the west bank at Magdeburg was cleared by the Tanks late yesterday and units of the 83rd Division IS miles to the southeast were pushing out slowly to the east. northeast and south from their Barby bridgehead orl the east bank.
 Headquarters spokesmen indicat- ed strongly, however, that the Ninth Army had gone as close to Berlin as 1t intended for the present, and that the Tanks were likely now to mark time along the Elbe line to await the arrival of the westbound Rus sians, now little more than 70 miles away.
 The U. s. First Army to the south similarly was expected to hold it's easternmost positions along the Elbe and Nude rivers 80-odd miles west of the Red Army.
 Hard and bloody fighting still remained in the rear areas oVerrun by the First Army, however, partic- ularly in Halle and Leipzig; the lat ter 9 miles west of the Americans advanced lines beyond the Mulde near Colditz.
 Most of the half-million German civilians and Regular Army troops damned into Halle appeared willing to surrender. despite the frenzied efforts of Nazi SS units to continue the fight.
 A delegation headed by the aged Count Felix Won Lucb,er, the Ger man Sea Raider of World War one fame, came out to negotiate with the American commander before Halle, but the equalization appar- ently had not been agreed upon early today.
 There was no trace of a Nazi surrender at Leipzig. however. Some 1 700 of the 3O.000 crack Elite Guards defending the city laid down their arms last night, but the remai1ing survivors were fighting like mad- men with guns. stones and any weapon they could lay their hands on.

Berlin's Eastern
 Outposts Captured
Continued from Page D

Capture of Finsterwalde would leave the Germans only two rail- way escape routes from Berlin, to the south and bring the Russian within 47 miles of the American First Army at Wurzen.
 The Soviet high command still was silent on the Berlin offensive as it entered it's fourth day, but Moscow speculated Premier Mar shal Stalin may announce decis- i've breakthrough on Adolph Hit ler's 56th birthday tomorrow.
 A Soviet communique announced that Russian forces have driven well into the Moravian Gap above the Czechoslovak industrial city of Brno in a new offensive along a 28-mile front in the Silesian Basin.
 Advancing up to 12 miles. the Russians cut the main railway and highway connections between the Moravian Gap fortresses of Opava and Moravska -Ostrava on six mile front. They captured Kravare, four miles east of Opava, and Dolni Benesov, eight miles north- west of Moravska -Ostrava.
 Some 75 miles to the southwest, the Second Ukrainian Army cap- tured Ivancice, IA miles southwest of Brno, and Rajhrad, six miles south of Brno then cut the Brno- Prague Superhighway.
 German broadcastS revealed that Marshal Gregory K. zhukov's First White Russian Army had completed a 60-mile siege arc northeast. east and southeast of Berlin, broken noly at Frankfurt, B miles east of the capital. Everywhere else, the Nazis admitted, the Russians were 25 miles or less from Berlin.
 AS many as 250 tanks were spear heading individual Soviet attacks, Berlin said. Once through the Nazi line, they would split into packs of 35 to 50 and overrun secondary positions. Village after village was falling in fluctuating fighting.
 NaI broadcastS said the outnum- bered defenders were carrying out Adolf Hitler's order to fight to the death.
 The free Germany transmitter in Moscow said the Russians due east of Berlin were only some 100 kilo- meters"-62 miles-from the Ameri- cans west of the capital.

DETECTIVE PROBE
 SOURCE OF SHOTS

Detectives It. Jokn Calvin, Sgt. Anthony Mariana, and James Stack are continuing search today for the owner of .22 caliber rifle from which two bullets were fired into a second floor rent at 901 Bank street Tuesday night.
 The detectives expressed the opin- ion that the bullets had been fired accidentally by youngster play1'g with the rifle. They warned that the gun can kill man at ranges up to three-quarters of mile. Miss Irene Sheridan, and her sis ter, Mrs. John Delaney, were in the kitchen of their apartment when two bullets crashed through the window and drawn shade.
 One bullet split the top-rung of a chair where Mrs. Delaney had been sitting a few minutes before. The second bullet bored into wall.

 'ffey broke out on the cana: front expecting to find all tho bridges blown. Instead, the Tanks ran right into the last German stragglers fleeing into the eastern half of the city.
 Throwing caution to the winds. the doughboys stormed the bridges under heavy gunfire and raced through the burning city to join up with the 69th Division attacking from the east.
 Three-fourths of the historic old city lay in ruins and there was little likelihood that the remaining quar- ter could survive bl that type of houSe-to-house battle.

shot their way through manlacal Nazi resistance from the east and west and linked up in the center of the city last night.
 Together they wheeled southward to root out and kill the surviving defenders holed up in and around the main Leipzig railway station, and the complete conquest of the city appeared to be only matter of hours away.
 Radio Paris said Leipzig had been cleared of all enemy opposition, but latest official information said sporadic and scattered resistance was continuing early today.
 Field dispatches said doughboys of the U. s. First Army's Second and 69th Division held almost con- plete control of Leipzig, Germany's Fifth city and, next to Berlin, the most important communications center in Hitler's dying Reich.
 A few thousand fanatical Nazi Elite Guards were still holding out in the wrecked and burning heart of the city, but the Americans were roofing them out with Grenades, rifles and flame-throwers in one of the widest street battles of the war.
 Blood, Fighting
 Another Key Nazi Citadel, Halle, IS miles to the northwest, also was on the verge of falling to the ram- paging First Army after almost a week of street fighting almost as bloody as the battle for Leipzig.
 To the north, south and west, Allied Armies were piling up equal ly spectacular victories with pow CT and speed that threatened the imminent collapse of Germanys remaining western defenses.
 For the second time in a gen. eration Germany's armed forces were being beaten to their knees. All accounts indicated that the de- spairing Nad leaders already were on their way to their Gotter-Dam- merung in the Bavarian redoubt.
 One by one the key fortresses of the Reich were falling into Amer ican hands. The U. s. Seventh Army surrounded Nuremberg and battered through the ruined streets of the once-beautiful Nazi Shrine city.
 It. Gen. George S, Patton's Third Army stormed Chemnitz, 36 miles southeast of Leipzig, and rammed through the northwestern corner of Czechoslovakia in a bid to close the Nazi's last remaining escape road at Prague. 98 miles away.
 The German hold on the North Sea ports also was slipping fast as British and Canadian armored forces began to roll through the enemy defense lines at top speed.
 British Second Army troops clos ed up to the Elbe River on broad front less than 12O miles northwest of Berlin and drove within 10 miles or less of Hamburg. Germany's greatest seaport and second city.
 Still farther west, the Canadians reached the Zuider Zee only 30 miles east of Amsterdam and unof- ficial reports placed them 10 miles closer to the big Dutch port, clos- ing fast on an estimated 10000 trapped Germans in Western Hol. land.
