Far to the northwest, U. S. Ninth
army forces battled to stem fierce
German counterattack against their
northern flar,; between Magdeburg
and Brunswick.
A strong German task force of
perhaps 1000 meme and 10 tanks and
armored units struck suddenly into
the Ninth army flank some As miles
west of the Elbe early Thursday
and made considerable progress be-
fore the Americans could rally to
meet the blow.
Attacking southeastward from
the Wittingen area, the Nazis slip

Land Urges House

Merchant Marine

WASHINGTON, April 10. CUP)--
Chairman Emory S. Land, of the
Maritime Commission Thursday
urged early congressional approval
of merchant marine under private
ownership.
Land warned the house merchant
marine committee that should the
war end without provisions being
made for disposal of ships to pri-
vate operators chaotic situa-
ton would result with foreign ship
pers taking over trade carried by
American vessels.
1.-THE present lack of a definite
policy is not only embarrassing to
our own citizens who must plan for
merchant fleet operations long in
advance of the cessation of hostili-
ties, but it already is tending to
stimulate Shipbuilding abroad"
Lard said.
Some SHIP builders would like
it If all the ships were scrapped and
some operators would like it If they
could get ships for nothing" he
said.
Calling for fair bill that would
give American shippers adequate
protection, Land recommended that:
Sale of dry cargo ships to Am
erican operators be based on the
pre-War foreign cost-the same price
for which ship of the same type
would be sold in a foreign country.
2-All operators be allowed to re-
sumo pre-war operations with equiv
alent tonnage and service on pre-
war routes.
3-The maritime commission be
authorized to limit tonnage of YES
sells sold to foreign countries, but
that it place no restriction on Am
erican shippers to acquire tonnage
beyond their preWar levels.

OkINAWA-(By Navy Radio
The company commander, Capt.
Julian Dusenbury, said I could have
my choice of two places to spend
the first night with his company.
One was with him in his COM
mand post. The command post was
a big, round japanese gun emplace-
ment, made of sandbags. The Japs
had never occupied it, but they
had stuck log out of it, pointing
toward the sea and making it look
like a gun to aerial reconnaissance.
Captain Dusenbury and a couple
of his officers had spread ponchos
on the ground inside the emplace-
ment and had hung their telephone
on a nearby tree and were ready for
business. There was no roof on
the emplacement. 1t was right on
top of a hill and cold and very
windy.
My other choice was with couple
of enlisted men who had room for
me in a little gypsy-like hideout
they'd made.
1t was a tiny, level place about
halfway down the hillside, away
from the sea. They'd made a roof
for it by tying ponchos to trees
and had dug up some japanese
straw mats out of a farmhouse to
lay on the ground.
WENT WITH MEN
chose the second of these two
places, partly because it was warm
er, and also because wanted to be
with the men anyhow.
