Guam, April 10.-(UP)-Radio Tokyo said today that Japan was determined to send it's whole flee! and whole air force" into action to halt the American offensive in the Ryukyus.
 The broadcast was seen here as proof of Japan's concern over the American landing on Okinawa, only 33O miles southwest of Japan.
 What the broadcast failed to say, however, was that America,l warships and planes already have destroyed or damaged more than 25 Japanese warships and 2,00C aircraft sent against them in the past month.
 Another Tokyo broadcast said It Gen. Reikichi Tada, president of the Japanese science mobilization league. had called on handicraft factories to concentrate on the production of weapons that can be used by "all the Japanese people in close quarter fightifg''
 The broadcast followed repeated warnings by Japanese officials that an American invasion of the home islands was imminent.

Ninth Army Units Race 21 Miles Beyond City;
 Within 12O Of Berlin
BY BOYD D. LEWIS

Paris, April 10. = (UP) - American Ninth Army troops stormed into burning Han- mover today and raced another 23 miles beyond the city to within 120 miles of Berlin.
 In an explosive burst of power that threatened mo- mentarily to cave in the Ger mans entire northern flank, the Americans broke loose on the main Hannover-Bruns- wi c k-Berlin superhighway less than 16 miles from Brunswick and 55 miles from the Elbe river line that forms the enemy's last big defens- i've barrier in the west.
 Doughboys of the 84th Infantry Division swarmed through the streets of Hanover, Germanys
  through from the north.
 Simultaneously the Ninth Army's Fifth armored division stabbed 25 miles northeastward to cut the Sup- er-highway at a point midway be- tween Hanover and Brunswick.
 British armored forces to the north laid siege to Bremen and wheeled northeastward within 60 miles or less of Hamburg, Gertnany,s second city and greatest port. A third British column cut the Ham, burg Hanover Autobahn and raced eastward from Brunswick and BeI- lin on the Ninth Army's northern | flank.
 The Ninth Army drive was CO., ordinated with new strike by the U. s. First Army in central Ger many toward NordhauSen, 115 miles southwest of Berlin. Both attacks were rolling forward behind a saw age Allied Aerial bombardment that reached back almost to the gates of the German capital.
 The strike across northern Ger. many shot the Ninth Army out in front of the race for Berlin, only g. few hours after It. Gen. Courtney H. Hodges American First Army had taken the lead with a new ad-. vance into the fringe of the Harz mountains in central Germany.
 Hodges men broke loose on an 18-mile sweep beyond their Weser river bridgeheads yesterday and followed through early today with an armored and infantry drive on Nordhausen, 115 miles southwest of Berlin.
 The Americans knocked 30-mile wide hole in the German defenses and late field dispatches said they were closing fast on Nordhausen (Continued on Page A

Post-War Airport Proposal For City OK'd In Hartford
(BY LEGISLATIVE REPORTER)

(BX ILLUSTRATIVE hEFOh1Ehp
 Waterbury's prFsoposed legisla- ton seeking authorization to float $7O0 GOO for purposes of a postwar airport was approved today when the House concurred with the Sen ate at Hartford in authorizing the city to undertake the proposal.
 Favorably reported were reSolu- tions restoring the forfeited rights of John H. Crary and Thomas A. Shanahan as contained in bills submitted by request by Senators Patrick Wallace and Edward P. Egan.
 The House likewise approved a bill establishing biennial elections for the Town of Prospect.
 Of considerable interest to local women teachers was today's intro duction into the House of a res olution by Rep. Ira Hicks (R-Green- wich) memoraliAkg Congress to approve the equal rights for wo- men amendment to the federal constitution.
 The citys airport bill will not necessarily mean immediate issu- ance of the bonds as its primary purpose is designed to permit the city to be in position to float such a series should the wars end occur during the interim between the close of the present legislative ses- sion and the next term two years hence. The bill had met with technical opposition by Rep. Wake lee (R-Wolcott) who contended that the city should not be al- lowed to issue bonds if it was un- able to acquire the land for the proposed airport. The. city sought land in Wolcott and the admins tration supported the bill calling for authorization by municipalities to condemn land of other muni- cipalities for purposes of airport construction. The latter bill has met with overwhelming opposition.
