which started the downfall of the Third Reich, the United States furnished materials and supplies to the Soviet, and when the United States entered the war there began series of reverses which con- tinued to Hitlers death.
 Italy was knocked out of the war and Allied bombers made every city in Germany target.
 Signs of German unrest appeared and Hitler's elite guard strength ened their iron holds. Resistance became fanatical and atrocities were numerous.
 On July 20, 1944, an attempt was made to kill Hitler with a bomb, missing by a few yards and killing three of his staff. injuring others. Hitler clamped down and heads fell among the army leaders.
 Hitler's most recent message to the German people, when he .calizcd the war was lost, was:
 We shall never capitu- late. We shall not give in at the eleventh hour. We shall go on fighting past 12 o'clock. . ."
 Powerful Leader
 Hitler was one of the most skill full orators and fanatical leaders the world has seen. He was the dictator of a nation Of 65,000.000 people and they obeyed his every word. Those who stepped out of line for an instant met the con- centration camp.
 Hitler, more than any other nlan, can be remembered as the indivi- dual who brought about the most terrible conflict the world has seen.

 PARIS, May I.-Gen. Patton's Third Army drove 25 miles out of its Isar bridgehead today and reach ed the Inn River in the vicinity of Preaunau, Adolf Hitler's birthplace on the Austrian border. With armoFed columns rolling in every sector along lO0-mile front, Pattcn's troops converged on Linz, Austrian industrial city 55 miles from last reported positions of Russ | ian troops west of Vienna in the Danube valley.
 | Tie 11th Armored in the Breaunau area was 30 miles from Salzburg, one of the chief cities in the reported Nazi redoubt, and was only little over 40 miles from Berchtesgaden, Hitlcr's mountain retreat.
 Seventh Army captured Munich and plunged toward Innsbruck and the Brenner Pass.
 Allied armies had overrun all Southern Germany except the south east corner of Bavaria and now were sending their tanks and infantry in- to Austria and Czechoslovakia
 Far to the north, American Air borne Troops and the British Second Army linked up beyond the Elbe in a sclid bridgehead 20 miles wide and l2 miles deep, which threatened i'm mirently to cut eff Schleswig- -Hol- stein and Denmark. This would carve the northern redoubt in two.
 The British drove within p miles of the Baltic port of Luebeck, whose capture would cut off the whole Danish Peninsula.

Draft Bill For Nurses
 Fading 0ui
May Disappear Entirely When Collapse of Ger
 many Is Declared

WASHINGTON, May - The Nurses Draft Bill is fading quietly cut of the Administration Legis- lative program and may disappear entirely with the full collapse of Germany.
 Urged by Roosevelt in his State Of the Union" message January 6, the legislation passed the House nearly two months ago. won the approval of the Senate Military Committee on March 29, and has been languishing on the Senate calendar ever since.
 Administration leaders have been wary about pressing it, since the Senate kicked over the traces and wrote into the Selective Service Extension Bill the ban on sending l8-year- -olds into combat without six montts of training,
 Senators emphasized they are determined to see that wounded servicemen get every necessary nursing attention but they are not convinced the draft is the best way to get the women needed.
 Complaints have been heard that the AImy's nursing standards are so restricted as to preclude com missioning nurses who may lack the technical distinction of regis tlaticn, but who have been per- forming satisfactory service for years.

 Soviet troops were closing in mer- cilessly on the Tiergarten, core of the last-ditch Nazi defense, and even that fortress was getting low on wat CT, food and ammunition.
 Dozens of suicides were reported as the Red Army closed in on the fortress. Na2i officers draped them selves over their machine guns a1- ter wrapping themselves in Nazi banners and gave up the ghost by pumping bullets into their own bodies.

SAN FRANCISCO, May l = An Allied invasion of oil-rich Borneo, first report of which came by Radio Tokyo, was practically confirmed tonight by official Australian sources. The Jap report said Allied amphibious assault forces hit near Tarakan, great oil shipping port eff the northeast coast of Borneo, ard said the Nip garrison is put ting -p a heavy fight.
 At Canberra, Australia's Treasury Minister told the House of Com mons a famous division" C. Aus tralian troops, veterans of the Middle East warfare, were in action in Borneo, although no official announcement of the reported in- vasion had come from Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
 American bombers have lashed Borneo, especially Tarakan, for two months, softening up the Jap de- lenses there, while at the height of this bombing campaign, Ameri- can forces Of the Eighth Army's Fcrty- First Division made an am- phibious hop April to Tawitawi, cn the southwestern extremity of the invasion point.
 Borneo is 800 miles south of Ma niIa, just under 1000 miles from Singapore and about 9UO m.les from the Jap stronghold of Saigon in French Indo-China.
 The Tokyo broadcast, recorded by EGG, said assault waves struck in force last night after an earlier landing attempt at noon yesterday was thrown back
 The invasion of Tarakan would be a continuation of the American drive south ward through the Philippines, since the beginning amphibious operations, and would return valuable oil producing areas to the Allies and ioisect the Dutch East Indies.

are likely 20 complain Of indiges-
ZION. They have a feeling Of full
ness after meals, a great deal OF
belchinr. sickness Of the stomach
and. sometimes, vomiting The use
Of sedative drugs may be helpful
10 these persons. II the Indigestion
Is due to eating too much or, II II
comes from eating too little. Il will
NOT be relieved by Sedatiyes.
Another cause OF these symp-
toms Of nervous indigestion may
be constipation. In such instances.
the symptoms usually appear
within six 70 twenty-four hours
after the rectum has failed to
empty itself properly. The ma
terial in the reetum may cause
back pressure in parts Of the IN
testine ard thus produce excessive
gas. bloating, loss Of appetite,
mild sickness Of the stomach and
a sort Of hunger pain that is re-
lieved for the time being by eating.
In addition. there may be head
ache. a feeling Of dizziness and, in
rare instances vomiting.
Il is not easy 20 diagnose the
indigestion due TO constipation.
since the symptoms seem 70 be
promptly relieved after the pa
tient takes a laxative. However.
the frequent use of laXatives
would not appear to be the cor
rect treatment for the disorder,
because the symptoms in some Of
the patients are due TO this prac-
tee.
Studies nave been carried out
which seem TO show that in certain
persons, even though several
bowel movements occur each day,
some material may be retained in
. tie rectum, due TO the fact that
the rectum is stretched or dis
tended. In these patients, symp-
toms of indigestion are likely to
develop. Constipation which has
persisted for only day may even
bring on hunger pains in a certain
group Of individuals. These pains
often cannot be easily told from
those caused by ulcer Of the stom-
ach. The patient says he feels as
though he has gas on mis- stomach,
and that he has to get rid Of it by
eating. Another symptom fire.
quently present is excessive gas
formation in the stomach and
bowel.
In treating these different
groups of patients with nervous
Indigestion due to constipation, il
is suggested that an injection or
enema of salt solution into the
lower bowel will give almost i'm
mediate relief. A rounded tea
spoonful Of table salt in a quart Of
warm water is employed. OF
course, proper regulation Of the
diet, formation Of the right habits,
the taking Of plenty Of fluids, and
exercise should be used 10 correct
the condition permanently. But for
immediate relief. it is suggested
that a salt solution enema is use

harmful effects. OF course. enemas
