Mrs. Roosevelt Rides
Train To View Play;
Attempts Vindication

WASHINGTON, March = (P) -
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt recent
ly told in her newspaper column
of taking a train trip to Baltimore
to see new play.
Today, at her news conference,
she was asked how she reconciled
the trip with Government requests
that people refrain from travelling
for pleasure.
She replied that she did not
think that a short journey sin a
coach displaces anyone"
also, I have a special interest
in that play" she added, because
it is about returning war veterans.
I have urged writer's and play
wrights to do some things on that
theme"
The round trip from Washing
ton to Baltimore is 30 miles.

End Of Nazi Resistance
Z Held Ringing On Rhine
Continued from Page One)

An early effort to hurdle the
river is expected since the longer
the crossing is delayed, the more
time the Germans will have to
scrape up troops and bolster east
bank defenses.
Allied commanders now probably
are waiting only for the Third and
First Armies to clear the west bank
from Coblenz north to Bonn.
When this is accomplished, the
Allies will have a $50 mile foot
hold on the west bank and a wide
choice of spots for crossing. Then
the depleted German forces would
have difficulty in manning such a
stretch and putting up any serious
assistance.

 Clearly manifested to visitors was the use made of materials not available. or scarce. on the home front during the war.

Of particular inter- est to women was an aluminium cooking cabinet which provided cooked food for a company on the field, and a woven plenaglaSs con- tainer used to drop hot coffee from a plane.
