inner Germany.
In the Remagen bridgehead
the Germans reported "the big
gest single concentration of pow
er on a narrow front ever seen
in this war" The Nazis said four
more divisions were hurled into
the rising battle there. Previ-
ously they had reported more
than 100000 Americans in the
bridgehead, including forces OF
the new U. S. 18th Army.
even during the invasion of
Normandy there was nothing to
compare with it, a Nazi COM
mentator said.
POISED FOR DRIVE
Allied forces on the northern
Rhine prepared for possible
invasion of the north German
plain. Headquarters disclosed
the U. S. Ninth Army had sent
patrols across the river at Duis-
burg from time to time.
The Third Army crossed the
Moselle in two more places, one
only six miles from sealed off
Coblenz, while armor broke out
of the original bridgehead south
west of Coblenz and dashed IL
miles to the southeast. To the
south the Seventh Army often
sive rolled forward on So
mile front from Saarbruecken to
the Rhine. The two armies
threatened to trap the Germans
still remaining in outflanked
Siegfried Line positions.
The Red Army has driven a
rapidly expanding wedge be-
tween Koenigsberg and Brauns-
berg in East Prussia in savage
new offensive which threatened
to annihilate trapped 'Ccr--ss.--, :,
divisions in the Junkers Prov
ince. The fortress cities are 35
miles apart. Liquidation OF the
Braunsberg defenders was ex-
pected momentarily.
FIERCE RED ATTACKS
Soviet troops mounted fierce
attacks in the southwest suburbs
of Koenigsberg, the besieged
capital of the province. Massed
field guns and rockets rained
death on enemy positions as
Red Army tank and infantry
assault teams drove ahead.
The Russians also have slash

zig -Gdynia defense perimeter in
the Polish Corridor.

be still some $4,000 Nazis in the

conference that new Russian note
on Poland was received this morn
ing, but did not announce its con-
tents.
The Russian demand was turned
down by Britain and the United
States when it was first presented
some time ago. 1t was reiterated
in a Moscow broadcast two days
ago.
The Polish question is at the top
of the agenda of the Big Three
foreign ministers meeting here this
weekend. In fact, the Allied Com
mission on Poland, set up after the
Yalta Conference, is moving here
from Moscow for consultations.

United States and ritish ambas-
sailors to Russia, who represent
their nations on the commission,
are coming to join in the talks with
Soviet Foreign CommlSSaT MolotoV'
There were indications that a
decision on a reply to the Russian
note is being held up until the
three foreign ministers can talk
things over. Molotov is expected
before the end of the week.
However, it was clear that the
State Department has decided to
inform the Russians that American
public opinion makes necessary the
fulfillment of the Yalta pledge for
organization of a new, broadly re-
preventative Polish government.
Meanwhile, a spokesman of the
Polish exile government in London
said that it would turn thumbs
down on any compromise Polish
government worked out by Russia
without British and American con-
sultat ions.

 AT TOURIST CAMP

MANCHESTER, Tenn.-Authori- ties awaited a laboratory report today to determine if human ashes were found at a tourist camp near here. while three persons were held on murder charges in connection with the alleged burning alive of one infant and the cremation of four others.
 The trio being held were identi- fled by Sheriff Sim Banks as H. H. Peters, 55, his wife, 46, and her son, Harry F. Carraway 28.
 Sheriff Banks said he placed the trio in jail at nearby Fayetteville, Tenn, after two negro employees of Peters, who operated a tourist camp, had told him five babies had been cremated in an ash heap at the camp between October IS and Mo- vember 19.
 He quoted the negroes, Willie and Mary Ramsey, as saying one of the infants, a white child, was still alive when brought to the camp.
