 Heavily-censored field dispatches said the Sixth Division. last re- ported in the Schhotheim area, spurted ahead 46 miles in the past 21 hours under a rigid security nlackout. Swinging straight east, the Sixth would be in the Halle or Leipzig areas, less than 30 miles south of Berlin, 90 miles from the Bed Army, and in position to close off the last escape roads for the German forces in the Elbe-Oder corridor around the capital.
 Patton's Fourth Armored Division was last reported in the Erfurt sector. Twenty-Five miles beyond that city lay the old Napoleonic Battlefield of Jena, whence the Americans could veer 50 miles south into CzechoSlovakia or 95 miles east to Dresden.
 Military spokesmen believed the American Ninth and possibly the First and Third armies might link up with the Russians by Saturday.

Reds, British Not Agreeing
(Continued from Page D

(Contlnued from Page D the difference in the interpreta- tion of the Yalta agreement by Soviet Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov on one hand and that of his colleagues, British Ambassador Sir Archibald Clark Kerr and U. s. Ambassador w. Averill Harri- man, on the other.
 The controversial phrase in the Yalta agreement is the one which says the present provisional gov- ernment of Poland (the former Lu- blin group should be "reorganized on a broader democratic basis with the inclusion of democratic leaders from Poland itself and from Poles abroad.
 The Lublin Poles, supported by the Russians, interpret that as meaning that their government should be the basis of the new one and that they, therefore, should have veto power over other Poles consulted in its formation.
 The Americans and British in eerpret tte phrase to mean that there should be an entirely new Polish government which will in- clude representatives of the Lublin Poles as well as democratic lead- CTS" from Poland and from Poles abroad.
 Failure to agree on that point has left the commission unable to fulfill the first step outlined at Yalta-congultation with members of the Lublin government and with other Polish democratic leaders.
 American and British officials are very concerned about the pulp lie reaction to the United Nations conference at San Francisco if Po- land is not there. And 1t is appar- ent now that the American and British are not going to give" much, if any, on their interpreta- ton.
 They have already agreed to "sell' the decision on the Polish boundary to their people as nec- essary compromise. It would be nearly impossible for them domes- tically if they had to compromise further.

(Chile officially declared war on Japan last night)
 Spain's decision to break relations with Japan followed meeting earlier in the day of the Nation- alist Spanish Falange, the govern ment political party led by Franco
 The group voted to support the government in measures necessary to defend Spanish interests in the Philippines and formally advised the cabinet of its action.
 The cabinet, with Franco presid- ing, met at the palace last night and issued the following statement:
 Direct reports, of Spanish origin and officially confirmed, leave no doubt of the assault carried out February 12 by Japanese troops on the Spanish consulate at Manila, where all consular officials and other persons present were assas- sinated. and the building was wan tonly burned. There were besides many other assassinations as well as deliberate destruction of prop erty of Spanish citizens.
 Tn view of the exceptional seri- ousness of these facts, which the Spanish government considers iil- compatible with the maintenance of friendly normality between the two governments, the Spanish gov- ernment has decided to break dip- lomatic relations with the govern- Aent Of Japan.
 This is without prejudice t1 claims for indemni1ataUn wtalcl, have been presented for the loss oi lives and damages caused to epan- ish suhjects."

 AS stated numerous deaths have occurred throughout the state from faulty connections with one whole family recently wiped out in New Haven. In all instances it was found that the connections were insuffici- ent to offset the dangers of escap- ing gas.

 In an effort to relieve this situ- ation, they said, large supply depots of Red Cross stocks were established in areas where there were large concentrations of Allied prisoners.
 The Stimsc.1 -Stettinius State- ment and the International Red Cross cablegram apparently referred to the same supply set-up. Both said transportation had been the prin- cipal problem, and both indicated that this problem now had bee.l solved at least to a certain degree.
 The State Department spokesman said instances of brutal neglect Of prisoners had been known to the department before they were brought to public attention in re- cent newspaper dispatches. The reports were from confidential sources and could not be made pulp lie, he said.
 1,6OO,OO0 Nazis Lost
 The German army has lost 1,60O,- 900 men in prisoners captured by the western Allies since last June and now has "scant hope" of mak- ing a stand between the Elbe and Oder, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson said today.
 Of Germans captured since the Normandy D-day, U. s. Armies have taken 100000. Stinson said. The total includes 100000 captured in the first nine days of this month.
 Total U. s. combat casualties, irl- cluding only those casualties thus far officially compiled and announc- ed here, was S90 ,39O, an increase of 6,48l over a wek ago. This was the smallest seven day increase ir many weeks.
 The overall figure included S02,- 6S5 Army and 96,705 Navy casualties.
 Stimson told his news conference that German defenseS in the west had been broken up and dissected The rate of disintegration increases, he said, aS Germans continue to surrender en rnaSSe.
 If there is any German hope of standing on the Elbe," he said. it will now be given a trial"
 But, he added, the corridors be- tween the Elbe and the Oder-that Is, between the western Allies and the Russians-are only 76 miles wide at some points.
 Cut of from most of Germany's production centerS," he continued, they seem to hold scant hope to the Na1s.
 "The people of Germany are get- ting demonstration of the power of Allied Armies. And from all ac- counts they have a realistic under standing of the physical failure of Hitler and the gang which they have allowed to lead them.
 But the enormity of Hitler's crime against the world and the responsibility of the German people in its perpetration must be made equally clear to the Germans.
 "As General Eisenhower has more than once indicated. our men are going through Germany as con- querors and not as liberators except as we hope to free the world in- cluding the German people from the cancer of Naziisin.
 "The German commanders and German civilians will help them- selves and escape worse burdens by cutting short any piratical resist ace tn lDOlaboA aEeos weA@e eE- ganized, cohesive defense is at an end"

Nazi broadcasts ordered all the German people to become spies for the Army, indicating that their field lines and intelligence were in chaos and they did not know where the speeding Allied Armies might strike next.
 Tomorrow your home village may be in the front line without your knowing how this came about" the Nazis said in an implicit threat backing up the order to forward all information on Allied movement. People! To grips with the enemy!" A broadcaster exclaimed after recit- ing instructions on what informa- tion was wanted about the strength and activity of the Allied armies.
 A western front broadcast over an American army tranSmitter re- ported more signs of disaffection in the German air force. Only yester- day the execution Of scores of Luft- waffle officers was reported.
 The broadcast quoted reliable re- ports as saying that the Nazs had arrested and perhaps executed Mar shal Baron Wolfram von Richtho- fen, onetime air commander in Italy, and Marshal Hugo Sperrle, former air chief in western Europe.
 The clandestine radio Atlantic re- ported on March 20 that Richthofen and Sperrle had been arrested by order of Rpichma rSha1 Hernann Goering in his search for scape- goats in the failure of the Luftwaf- fe.
 "Very reliable quarters" in Stock holm reported that high Nazi lead- CTS had moved from Schoenhausen on the Elbe north of Magdeburg to Friedrichsruhe east of Hamburg, and only @ skeleton staff was in Berlin.

 Other factors were how much of @ price rise OPA would find neces- Sary to cover the wage boost and what upward wage and price adjust ments Davis would allow.
 Operators estimated that the new contract, signed after Six-weeks' dispute, would increase the miners daily wages an average of $1.S0 based on the present scheduled work-week of six days, 54 hours. The present basic weekly wage for this schedule is $57. Under the new agreement 1t would be increased 10 $64.86.
 The operators also estimated that the average increase in the cost of production would be 25 cents ton. If this amount was passed on 10 the consumer it would increase the nations fuel bill by upwards of $l5.- 0.O00 annually.

Weimar has suffered heavily un- der Allied air bombardment.
 Among the facous buildings which found smashed when entered with our forces were the houses of the poets, Goethe and Schiller, the old city hall, and the tempel Her renhaus in the famous Weimar park.
 The house of Franz Liszt, the mu- sician, was one of the few historical monuments in Weimar which re" mained intact.
 At least one-third of Weimar has been smashed. Among the wrecked buildings is the historic chamber where the national assembly ap- proved the constitution of the Ger man republic in February, 1919.
