At the height of the debate a

civilians from miles around were
sitting in "grandstand seats" at every
suitable vantage point on the east
bank, waiting for the spectacular
sight of American troops pulling up
at the Rhine and getting the bridge
blown up right in their faces.
A few minutes before O'Clock the
German officer signaled the plunger
down. Two small puffs of dust and
smoke accompanied by explosions
echoed through the hills, but the
bridge almost unbelievably remained
on its piers.

been at the outskirts of Coblenz
but across the Moselle for five days.
Farther south, the resurgent
American 7th Army invaded Ger
many's Saar district anew and cap
tured at least six towns, including
Furstenhausen, a suburb of Voelk-
lingen where the largest steel mill
in the Saar is located. Voelklingen,
an industrial city of $1,000, was
menaced imminently, as was Saar-
bruecken, capital of the district and
ruined city of $4,000.
7th Army Crosses Border.
The 7th Army advanced up to
miles on a 7-mile front west of
Saarbruecken, crossing the frontier
and reaching the Saar River at
several points Shaffhausen, Wehr-
den, Geislautern. Clarenthal and
Schoenecken all toppled.
With the Ruhr already smoking
as much from bombing and shelling
as from production, the heightening
question was how much longer it's
factories and forces could continue
to feed steel for German war needs.
The western edge of the Ruhr and
its great cities of Cologne, Krefeld
and Muenchen G1adbach already
were in Allied hands. Artillery bonn
barded the heart of the Ruhr Basin
for Is miles east of the Rhine, bat
tering such production centers as
the Krupp Works at Essen, the vast
inland port of Duisburg, Duessel-
dorf, Muelheim and Oberhausen.
Aerial bombs supplemented the
shells.
. 20 Miles From Edge of Ruhr.
The twisted steel of broken rail
lines, the ruins of smashed juno
tions and the gaping hole in bridges
and overpasses in the arc around
the whole crisis zone east of the
Rhine posed an equally searching
question of whether the German
Army itself could get into the bat
tie Of the bridgehead in strength
enough to stop its steady expansion.
Beyond Honnef the 1st Army was
less than 20 miles from the south
ern edge of the Ruhr and within S
miles of rather open country
where tanks could rampage.
The Rhine was crossed a week
ago yesterday, and despite the ar
rival of scattered reinforcements the
enemy has not yet been able to
mount major counterattack.
Even aside from the aerial seal
off, however, there was another
strong factor in this failure of the
Nazi command to heed the lesson of
Normandy and throw in an all-out
effort to smash the bridgehead in
its first days.
Patrol Crossings Reported.
This was the fear reflected in Ger
man accounts of repeated American
patrol crossings of the Rhine north
of Duisburg, where the 21st Army
Group is massed in mighty strength
on the Lower Rhine banks.
The Germans obviously were hes
itating about throwing in their all
ready battered strength against the
single bridgehead south of the Ruhr
for fear that 1t. Gen. Omar N.
Bradley of the 18th Army Group
had made only feint to pull their
thin reserves out of position for
crossings

BY HOWARD COwAN.


WITH THE UNITED STATES 1st
ARMY EAST OF THE RHINE, Mar.
15.-The German lieutenant as
signed to blow up the Remagen
Bridge was drunk when American
forces captured it, an American
sergeant declared yesterday in con-
tributing new chapter on the
Rhine crossing
Staff Sergt. Joseph De Lisio of
the Bronx, N. Y, who captured the
German, said he was soused-but
plenty.
This was what a subsequent in
vestigation disclosed:
The German had been told some
days in advance that he would have
to destroy the 1,200-foot steel bridge.
He had a flair for the dramatic,
and when the United States 9th
Armored Division drew near he
spread the word throughout Erpel,
the town at the east end of the
bridge, that "the bridge goes at 4
O'Clock this afternoon"
Dynamite was planted at strategic
spots on the structure, and the
last folks in Remagen who wanted
to leave were given a chance to
cross to the east bank.
The speed of the American tanks
was more than the Germans had
however. and scores of
enemy vehicles had to be left in the
thick woods on the hill above Rem
agen.

Plans 10 Abandon
Alaskan Highway
Denied by 5fimson
D. the Associated Press.

Secretary of War Stimson said
today he knew OF no plans to aban-
don the Alaskan highway in Canada
He was asked at news confer
ence about the statement of Senator
Magnuson, Democrat, of Washing
ton in the Senate yesterday that he
/. understood the highway, built to-
form a military link between the
United States and Alaska, would
be abandoned.
Il know Of no such plan," Secre-
tary Stimson replied
The Secretary likewise said he
had no information regarding
another report, by Senator Mead.
Democrat, of New York that, the
date for closing out the Canol oil
development had been moved up
from the previously announced June
80 to April 1.
These developments followed a
speech In whicn Senator Moore.
Republican, of Oklahoma declared
the War Department had assumed
a "bullheaded and arbitrary atti-
tude" in spending $134, 100000 on
Canol against the advice of the SEN
ate War Investigating Committee,
of which Senator Mead is chairman,
and petroleum experts"
Asserting he would insist that the
Surplus War Property Board take
over Canol properties, Senator Moore
declared:
The Army says that the proper
ties are to be offered Canada under
an option to buy at the present ap-
praised value. In view of the incom-
petence displayed by the Army in
connection with this project, I seri-
ously doubt the wisdom of permit
ting the Army to negotiate for the
disposal of the property"
Chairman Mead said his commit
tee soon would offer full report on
this phase of the Canol project.
Senator Ferguson, Republican, of
Michigan, a member of Senator
Mead's Committee, said that group
had not gone into the Alaskan high
way project, but that Il intend to
find out plenty about it when the
War Department appropriations
bill comes up for action"

Great Osaka Arsenal
Blown Up by B-Hs,

TWENTY-FIRST BOMBER
COMMAND, Guam, Mar. l5.-Maj.
Gen. Curtis E. lie May expressed be-
lief today that Osaka's 150-acre
arsenal went up in explosion after
explosion in Tuesdays Super
Fortress raid on the empires Sec
ond largest city.
Blasts so terrific that they shot
some of the Cotton Super Forts
1000 to 5000 feet higher into the
skies were the basis of Gen. LIE Mays
belief.
Three hundred Super Forts, max
ing the third 2,000-plus ton in
cendiary attack on Japan's largest
cities in five days, laid waste a s.
square-mile area in the heart OF
industrial Osaka.
Pictures Stin Lacking.
One of the chief targets was Osaka
Arsenal. It produced antiaircraft
guns, artillery, machine guns, rifles,
shell cases, bombs and fuses. It in
cluded a steel mill, chemical works
and research laboratory.
After talking with pilots, Gen. LIE
May said that although he had no
reconnaissance photographs showing
the arsenal was destroyed, it must
have been blown up to cause such
tremendous explosions as these:
One B-29 was blown from 1000 to
10000 feet, turned completely over
and sent into q slow roll. After
falling 10000 feet, the pilot, 1t
Stanley c. Black, Helena, Mont, re-
covered control and new it home.
Another B-29, Joltin' Josie, was
lifted from 1000 feet to 10000 feet
then dived to 1000 feet before the
pilot regained control. He, too
made it home.
Two Generals Decorated.
For their part in the Tokyo
Nagoya and Osaka raids in the pas
five days, Gen. lie May awarded 8
Silver Star to Brig. Gen. Thomas S
Power and an Oak Leaf Cluster ir
lieu OF second Silver Star to Brig
Gen. John H. Davies. Gen. Power
Of Fort Worth, Tex, commands
Guam-based B-29s and Gen. Davies
from Piedmont, Calf, commands
Super Forts based on Tinian.
The Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka
raids, made over flve-day period
wiped out a square miles of con-
gested industrial areas with more
than 5000 tons of incendiaries. Air
craft plants at Nagoya and Tokyo
were severely damaged.
