IRE AR0U5EDBY
 HOUSE VOTE
Senators Condemn Putting Personal Feeling Above
 Public Welfare

House acton JuIs morning in de- feating Senate Bill No. 45, to sub stitute the Commissioner of Labor for the Commissioner of Education on the Territorial Board of Admin istration, touched off major ex- plosion in the Senate.
 With almost full voice the upper body condemned the House very apparent placing of personal feeling against Commissioner of Labor Wal ter Sharpe above the welfare of the Territory. Senator Howard Lyng was vociferous in his protest of the House total disregard of the fact that the purpose of the Board of Administra- tion, and the fostering of self-gov- ernment for the Territory, demand the inclusion on the Board of all five elective Territorial officials.
 The Senate, however, refused to follow the example the lower body has frequently set this session, and ask for the House to reconsider it's action on the bill. Senator o. D. Cochran received the concurrence of his colleagues in his expressed opinion that the junior chamber is an independent body and is entitled to freedom to act as it sees fit
 The Senators did, however, gen. erally express wish that the House
 would see fit to recognize the Senate as entitled to similar freedom of i action.

PATTON mAnES BURST

PARIS, March 17-Third Army troops have lunged to points 4t miles southeast of Coblenz in { 8 race down behind the Siegfried lIne, where they are rapidly closing a trap on thousands of Germans between the Rhine and Moselle Rivers in the huge Saarland tri- angle.
 Gen. Patton's armored spearheads burst forward another 10 to Is miles southeast, in a simmering drive which took them 25 miles south of Coblenz and 45 miles from the Remagen bridgehead.
 Other units drove down the Rhine south of Coblenz, isolating that city of 58,000, and pushed up the east side of the Moselle to the outskirts of the ancient citadel
 Third Army tank troops, already halfway between Coblenz an d Mainz, threatened to pocket the remnants of two German armies in the triangle formed by the Rhine and Moselle Rivers.
 Third Army units are now only d5 miles from Gen. Hodges Seventh Army, which is pushing up from the south The Seventh Army, at tacking over a 50-mile front, is driving the Germans back to the doubtful security of the Siegfried Line, and have taken the Maginot fortress of Bitche.
 The First Army, expanding their Rhine bridgehead, deployed tanks along the superhighway connect ing Frankfurt and Ruhr, where they took four more towns, and won two-thirds of Hoenningen on the southern end
 The Remagen bridgehead is now 13 miles long and seven miles deep, as tank columns neared Bingen on the Rhine.
 Berlin broadcasts admitted a breach of major depth" in the west lower Vosges Mountains.

RED CROSS
 FUND NOW
 ATS1o,546

Juneau is getting nearer the top in the Red Cross fund drive but a concerted effort is needed to put the campaign over with the usual great success. Chairman Rev. w. Robert Webb announced this morning that solicitors of one of the largest busi- ness sections has reported and the sum has now reached $10,546 of the quota Sl3,065.
 Half the expenditures by the Am erican Red Cross during the coming year will be for service in Army and Navy hospitals at home and abroad, in Army and Navy stations and in combat zones, officials of the Juneau Chapter disclosed.
 Of the total goal being sought here, it is pointed out, about one third will go to the Juneau Chapter and the other two-thirds to National Headquarters.
 The Rev w. Robert Webb, Cam paign Chairman, makes a strong appeal to his workers to complete their soliciting and urged them not to let down" but to redouble their efforts so that next Friday it can be announced that the campaign is over the top
 Out of every Sl00 contributed to the Juneau campaign the following approximate amounts will be spent by the local Red Cross chapter:
 Home service, $28.14; administra- tion, supplies, facilities, etc. S2.l8, first aid and accident prevention, SLIT; home nursing, 83 cents; other services not listed, 54 cents.
 Juneau still has to raise approxi- mately $4,000 to reach the goal set by the National Headquarters. It is interesting to note that both Ket- chikan and Wrangell reached their quotas in the first five days of the drive while Juneau is still tagging behind on the seventeenth day.

BRIDGEHEAD
 OF GERMANS
 I5 REDUCED
Griefhdven Is Captured by Russians -Pontoons
 Brought Up

MOSCOW, March 17--TankS and infantry of the First White Russian Army have thrust forward against the reduced enemy bridgehead at Stettin, to within four and one half miles of that vital northern gateway to Berlin.
 The Russians also reported bring ing pontoon equipment along three-mile stretch of the Oder River, in the vicinity of captured Griefhagen, less than Il miles south of Stettin.
 Heavy Pressure
 The heaviest Russian pressure is being exerted against the southern flank of the Nazi bridgehead ex- tending along the east bank of the Oder from Stettin's suburb of Alt damn on the edge of Dammscher Sea, where the remaining Nazi bridgehead east of the river is only two miles deep at some points. Seizure of this sector in the tactical preparation for the Berlin offen- sive and is second in importance only to the capture of Kuestrin early this week, as the fall of Criefiagen put Marshal zhukov's troops into another good jumping off spot spanning the Oder
 Meanwhile, the Third White Rus sian Army group, liquidating the Nazis' East Prussian fragments, have pressed closer to Braunsberg and have reached the outskirts of the port of Brandenburg. Koenigs- berg, 10 miles to the northwest of Brandenburg, has already been cut off.
 An uneasy Hull is reported in the most crucial sectors of the eastern front--a five mile stretch through the middle of the Oder Valley due east to Berlin-where both German and Russian troops continued to mass for the impending climactic battle.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Nt. Col. Robert s. Allen now on activ, service with the Army.


 WASHINGTON-Word has leaked from Italy that the British are adopting strange tactics in foment- ing the separationist movement in Sicily.
 Two hundred thousand American Flag posters have appeared in the cafes of Sicily advocating the in- dependence of that strategic island from Italy. But the funny part of it is that the printing of these American flags has been traced to Algiers and the people who paid for them are the British.
 Accompanying these U. s. Flags are placards reading: Sicily, the 49th State"
 Tn other words, it looks as if the British, knowing the number of Italo-AmericanS who come from Sicily, are cleverly taking advantage of American sentiment to propose Sicily as the 49th state of the United States.
 : The importance of Sicily to the British is that it lies astride the sea-lane through the Mediterranean to Suez. The British already have secretly been given the Italian islands of Pantelleria and Lampe- dusa by the Italian armistice, and it has been known for some time that they were secretly financing the separationist movement in Sicily.

Union County is
18th in State in
Sale of { Bonds
Individual Goal Also Nearly
Met, Wall Reports, But Much
Work Remains to Do 1t

Although Union county is still
$50, 1894 short of its "E' bond quota,
she stands 10th among Ohio's SS
counties in the percentage of this
type of security sold, Lloyd J. Wall,
chairman of the 7th War Loan
Drive, revealed today, Citizens of
Union county have bought 84.35
percent of their assigned "E" Bond
quota.
while we feel happy that u
Mon county ranks so high in the
state, we will not be content until
our goal is passed" Mr. Wall said.
THE time is growing short-the
7th War Loan Drive ends July 8
but sales must reach headquarters
by then to count-but we are con-
fident the quota will have been met
when that date rolls around.
Likewise" ;" Mr.. Wall said, I'VE
are certain that the county will
oVer-subScribe its overall individ-
ual quota. We are nearly there now
The Union County journal. [volume] (Marysville, Ohio) 1875-1951, 1945-06-28

but any relaxing on the part Of
volunteer bond statesmen or individ-
ualS will mean failure.
And don't forget that B-29
which will 60 into action with
Union County plaque in its cabin
if we hit the 100000 mark in in
dividual sales. Our individual quota
is S54l 900 which means $4,000
more than that in order to be per-
Sonally represented over Tokyo .
On June 26th, the last day on
which a sales record in the 7th
War Loan Drive is available, only
SO persons i'm the entire county
bought bonds.
That shows we are a very busy
people. About 1880 persons went
about their chores, knowing there
was a war on, but not having time
TO put some of their savings down
in exchange for War Bonds. Three
thousand thirteen units have been
sold in this drive to date. Some
people have bought many times
so it is doubtful if more than 20OO
persons are actually represented.
Ohio leads all states in the num-
Der of farms which are electrified,
but is not first in the number Of
farms holding War Bonds At last
reports, il stood fourth. Those
people who, 10 years from now,
have held onto the most war bonds
will be best able to meet financial
emergencies. If they don't come,
history will have taken a strange
turn. The reason for setting a high
quota for small-unit bond pur-
chaSerS in this drive was to en-
courage as many persons as pos
sible to lay away sometime or a
cloudy as WeIl as a RAINY day.
People who are debt free and have
sonle reserve upon which to fall
back, will be better able to live
normally in an abnormal period.
The best way to combat the
trend toward socialism and all the
other "isms" is TO encourage as
many people as possible to be self
reliant and not lean too hard upon
the government Between now and
July Z, 1000 persons in Union Coun-
ty should buy 'E" Bonds. You pay
S75 for a 500 maturity value You
collect almost 3 percent interest
