The thrust put troops due east of both the inland town of Shuri and the west coast port of Naha, ruined capital of Okblawa, and ex-i posed the cities to attack from thd rear. Both were holding out against savage American frontal attacks.
 Security Blackout Marines of the Sixth Division were reported blasting deeper into tho northern outskirts of Naha with grenades, flame -throwers and ma chine-guns, but security black out cloaked details of their progress.
 The rubble of Naha was alive with snipers and machine-gun nests, front dispatches said. There were indications that the city had sys- tenn of defenses connected by un- derground tunnels. House -to-house l fighting was under way in some sec- tors.
 Equally bloody fighting was under way for Shuri, under assault by the first Marine and 77th Army Infan- try Divisions.
 The first Marines gained up to 150 yards yesterday northwest of Shuri, while units of the 77th reach- ed the foot of Chocolate Drop Hill immediately before Shuri but were forced to withdraw by heavy Japa- nese fire.
 The Japanese were drenching the Shuri front with such heavy mortar and machine-gun fire that supplies, ammunition and food had to be dropped to the troops by parachute.
 Cub observation planes made 53 parachute drops over the first Ma rine lines in 48 hours. One plane was shot down. When the -CubG were unable to get close enough to 77th Division troops in the center of the line, tanks carried supplies forward.

London, May 15-(UP)-A Brit ish foreign office spokesman con- firmed today that the United States and Britain have sent notes to Marshal Tito making very clear" their opposition to Yugoslavia's their opposition to Yugoslavia's s unilateral occupation of pre-war ItalY's province of Istria. Diplomatic sources said the notes demanded that Yugoslavia with draw all her forces from Trieste and the rest of Istria without de- lay.
 Though the notes were firm, the foreign office commentator said any suggestion of an ultimatum would be much too hard a way of putting it."
 The notes, indentical or at least similar, were in route to Tito, the commentator said. Other sources said they already had been deliver ed in Belgrade by the American and British ambassadors. Premier Stalin has been inmorm- ed of the action taken, 1t was un- derstood.
 Both Yugoslavia and Italy have laid claim to Istria. Yugoslav par tisan forces liberated the provinc, from the Germans, busted mos Italian civil and even church off cials and set up their own military government.
 The United States and Britain have taken the position that Istria's disposition should be left to the peace conference. They contend that Yugoslavia, as in interested party, should not occupp the area in the meantime.

 TALE VERIFIED IN WASHINGTON
BY ALLEN DRURY

Washington, May 15. = (UP) Congress heard at first hand today a part of the story of Nazi. rule by exter- imitation.
 A 12-man committee of both houses, fresh from a tour of German concentra- ton and slave labor camps, verified many of the worst atrocity stories.
 They told a tale of filth, disease, starvation and mur- der.
 Declaring the concentra- tion camp practices to be "no less than organized crime against civilization" they de- manded swift, certain and adequate punishment" for those responsible,
 But despite the cruelty and hor- TOT they saw they held forth hope of future justice.
 Senate Democratic Leader Alben w. Barkley of Kentucky, spokes- man for the committee, said:
 Sickening Spectacle
 Through the sickening spectacle which we have witnessed will come ultimately a firmer realization that men of all nations and tongues must resist encroachments of every theory and theology that debases mankind.
 "A just and more enduring peace may arise upon the ruins and from the sacrifices which the human race has endured through one o1 the most crucial periods of its his- tory"
 The 12-man committee, invited by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower tc view the, results of Nazi treatment of political prisoners and slave la borers, visited camps at Buchen- I'wald, Nordhausen and Dachau. Members were barKley, sens Wslter F. George, D., Ga, Elbert D Thomas, D., Utah. c. Waylant Brooks R., H., Kenneth s. Wherry , R. Neb.. and Leverett Saltonsta.l R., Mass. and Reps. R.

Obersalzberg, Germany, May 15-- UP)-A man who was Steno- grapher at Adolf Hitler's headquar- ters in Berlin said today that the Fuehrer decided on April 22 to meet his end fighting the Russians from an underground fortress behind the Richs chancellory.
 The man is Gerhardt Herrgeselle who was summoned to Hitler's head quarters last July to do stenograph- ic work after another stenographel had been killed in the attempt ot the German army generals to as- sassiante Hitler.
 Herrgeselle said that Hitler; his sweetheart Eva Braun; Martin Bor- mann, deputy leader of the Nazi party: Field Marshal Wilhelm Kei- tel; and Col. Gen. Gustav Jodl who signed the German surrender at Reims. were living in the under ground fortress.
 Around 10:20 o'clock on the morning of April 21,' Herrgeselle said, "the Russian artillery fire be- came heavier and obviously they were seeking to concentrate their fire on the government district. Later Russian planes made low level attacks around central areas such as Friedrich Strasse and Hal lesches Tor.

British In 
BY EDWARD V. ROBERTS

London, May 15-(UP)-A British military commentator revealed to- day that British occupation troops have entered Fepsburg, seat of the German government under Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz.
 But the commentator said the fate or status of Doenitz, self-proclaimed successor to Adolf Hitler as fuehrer, WAS unknown" here.
 Neither had he any definite know ledge whether the occupation troops had seized Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler, now No. 1 NaN war crim- inal. He last was reported in Flens- burg or its vicinity.
 Kaltenbrunner Captured? Other Allied sources reported that American Third Army troops had captured Himmler's ace atrocity ex- pert, It. Gen. of Police Ernst w. Kaltenbrunner, accused of respon- sibility for the ghastly German gas extermination program.
 A dispatch to the London News Chronicle said Kaltenbrunner was seized by a special agent of the 80th Division in fortified. chalet in the Austrian Tyrol.
 Doenitz set up his provisional capital at Glensburg, German naval base just south of the Danish bor- der, fleeing Hamburg in the last days of the war.
 It was from Flensburg that he sent his delegates to Reims and Berlin to surrender Germany un- conditionally to the Allies. With Doenitz at Flensburg presumably was Marshal Willelm Keitel. su- preme commander of the German armed forces. who signed the final act of surrender at Berlin. Doenitz declared Flensburg an open city and occupation troops did not enter 1t until the German com mand had had time to communicate surrender orders to Germany's scat tered air. sea and land forces.

Washington, May 15-(UP)- President Truman said today he hopes there will be meeting of the Allied Big Three soon.
 The president told news confer ence, however, that he could not say that such a meeting actually will be held, nor when nor where.
 But he left no doubt that he ex- poets to meet with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Russian Premier Josef Stalin as soon as conditions will permit.
 He said he hoped that there would be opportunity for the three Allied leaders to meet and discuss coming peace plans around the table.
 MT. Truman said that was one of the things which he discussed yesterday with British Foreign Min ister Anthony Eden. Eden stopped at the White House enroute from the San Francisco Security Confer ence to London.
 Asked whether such a Big Three meeting might be held in San Fran cisco. the president said 1t definitely would not be.
 He ruled out the possibility that French Gen. peGaulle would participate in a Big Three meeting,
 lDedaulle had given notice that he expected to be invited to any such meeting. and would demand an invitation If one were not offered at the outset,)
 When pressed for a definition of what he means by meeting soon, the president replied only that he meant not immediately but in the not-too- distant future.

Tox Cuts
 Ruled Out

Washington, May 15-(UP)- President Truman today ruled out the possibility of tax reductions before the Japanese war is won.
 The president voiced his ideas on taxes when he was asked in a news conference to comment on a five year plan of gradual reductions sug- gested by Chairman Walter F. George, D., Ga, of the senate fl- nance committee.
 There can be no reduction of taxes until the war is over, and we still have a war to win in the Pa- ciflc, the president said. He went on to add that there are 85 ,000, 900 individual holders of war bonds in the country. He said that the in- veStments of these bondholders must be protected.
 The only way to protect them, he said, is through taxes.

Yonks Seize BaIete Pass
By DON CASWELL

Manila, May IS (U.P.) = Twenty-fifth Division doughboys to- day smashed through the 75-yard wide Balete Pass leading to the rel- atively open ground of Cayagan Valley, gateway to Northern Luzon.
 AS the 18th secured the narrow defile of Balete, 32nd Division units advancing through the twisting. torturous villa Verde trail also crashed into the open ground west of Santa Fe.
 Only two miles separated the two columns, both closing in on Santa Fe, 25 miles south of Bayombong, capital of Nueva Vizcayo Province.
 At the same time General Douglas Macarthur announced that Eili- pino Guerrilla forces had captured the Port of Cayagan on Mindanao and won control of the entire north. ern coast of the island.
 In the middle of Minadano, Amer ican columns driving from north and south steadily were closing tu on the last Japanese units being compressed in the hills in the cerl- ter. The southern column was near- ing Valencia, site of large Jap. anese airdrome. The northern arm still was 90 miles or so above Valen. cia.
 Around Davao. steady progress inl mopping up enemy strong points was reported in the Talomo river sector.
 The capture of Balete Pass on Lu> zon by the 18th climaxed weeks of bitter fighting in the forhiddine country of the Caraballo Mountains. Last week dive-bombers and flght- CTS attempted to blast open tho mouth to the narrow pass.
 The Japanese defending Daleta were dug in on the cliffs x1sino sharply on either side and enc trenched in caves. However. their final defense undoubtedly va shortened by the Sands advance from the west. which threatened e trap them from the rear.

Silent. Cop Obstruction Says Expert

Robert c. Georgia, of Albany, di- rector of the New York State Traf- fic Commission, declared in super for court today that the traffic stanchion at Watertown avenue and Robbins street is "an obstruction in the normal path of travel and it can be expected that vehicles will strike it."
 The highway official, who holds a license as civil engineer, was called as a witness for the plain tiffs in the $110,000 civil action brought against the City of Water bury by Paul and Bessie DeLahunta and Edwin and Doris MacKeever, all of Stratford, who were injured on March 9, 1942, when their car struck the traffic signaling device.
 MT. Georgia testified that the structure has definite adverse eff feet on safety of motor vehicles travelling by it ip the southerly di- rection on Watertown avenue. He bases his opinion on an examination made at the intersection this morn ing, he stated.

 Asked if cement stanchion is necessary for the support of blink CT light, the New York state official replied it was not. The alternative, he said, would be to install blinker light suspended from a wire above the intersection and at a height that would permit traffic to travel underneath.

REGIONAL PLAN
 CAUSESCRIS|S AT CONFERENCE
BY. R H. sHACKroRD

San Francisco, May Is. - (UP)-High officials admit ted today that the biggest stakes of the United Nations Conference are at issue in the current crisis over the future relationship of the h. terArnerican regional system to the new world organiza- tion.
 The stakes include the fu- ture attitude of the Latin American nations toward the new organization; the rela- tionship of the Latin Ameri- can nations to both Soviet Russia and the U nj t e d States; whether the Ameri- can bloc of nations will be suspected by hemispheric iso- lationism; and whether the new organization will start life under the handicap of intra organization quarrels over it's jurisdiction a n d authority.
 American officials are confident of working out a satisfactory solution. They drafted what they hope will be their final formula last night, will present it to the full U. s. dele gation today, and then if approved to the Latin Americans before night fall.
 France Given Seat
 This regional issue so overshadows everything else at this conference that even the controversial trustee ship issues is forgotten. The only committee action noted with any great interest was the decision late last night to give France perma- nent seat on the security council.
 The Dumbarton Oaks proposals said France should have a perma- nent seat "in due course; the com- mittee deleted ''in due course"
 American officials are proceeding very cautiously on the explosive regional problem. They concede the possibility of leading into three dangerous situations any one of
