MANILA, March 21, (UP)
American troops linked
with strong Filipino guerilla
forces on Pa=.y Wednesday
in an offensive that burst
into the suburbs of burning
Iloilo and swept through
more than $50 square miles
of the island.
The lightning strikes of Maj. Gen.
Rapp Brush's 40th division, which
threw the japanese into disorder on
Panay's south central plains, ripped
through three key road towns and
tumbled Mandurriao airdrcme, with
its big 4500-foot runway.
MOVE SWIFTLY
The rapidly developing campaign
on Panay, sixth largest of the Phil
ippines, was disclosed in General
Douglas MacArthur's communique
which also revealed new important
gains on Luzon and continuation CT
neutralizing air attacks on Folmosa
and Japan's shipping lanes in the
China sea.
Brush's seasoned troops overran
Japanese machine-gun points and
small arms resistance in two
pronged offensive that carved cut a
beachhead 18 miles deep and IA
miles wide on Panay's southern
coast.
SEVEN MILES IN DAY
One column raced seven miles in
one day along the hard-surface
coastal road, captured the seven
span Carpenters bridge across the
Iloilo river and stormed into the
suburbs CT the capital, already
aflame from large fires.
The extent of the blazeS indicated
the Japanese were attempting the
same destruction of Iloilo and its
$4,000 inhabitants as they did at
Manila.

On the heels of the First army

enhower broadcast a grim warning
to the German civilian population
and the thousands of foreign slave
workers inside the Nazi lines to get
out of the Ruhr Immediately. Eisen-
hover declared that the entire Ruhr
was about to become battle zone.
But even the new sweep on the
Ruhr was overshadowed by the
spectacular triumph of Lit Gen.

BY JOHN A. PARIS JR.

LONDON, March "a -R- Adolf
Hitler has completed military and
political plans for an attempt to
keep Naziism alive on the gamble
that Allied victroy in Europe will
be followed after a short interlude
by tremendous chaos, it was repor-
ted today on the basis of reliable
advices from inside Germany.
The sources were anti-Nazi Ger
man refugees and intelligence
agents of military and political au-
thorities in Europe's exiled gov
ernments.
Hitler was declared intending to
use Berchtesgaden as a fountain
head to flood the world again with
Naziism.
To carry out the political side of
his plan, Hitler is reported to al
ready have 100000 men and wo-
men between the ages of 10 and
IS trained as secret agents for duty
at home and abroad. Large num-
bers of his agents now are, in neu-
trail countries and it is not unlike
ly many of them are posing as
refugees.
On the military side, he is I'M
derstood to have turned the Berch-
tesgaden-Salzburg area into a gi
gantic fortress with subterranean
aircraft facotries, hangers and air
fields, synthetic fuel plants, motor
and ball-bearing factories and
stocks of food and munitions and
for a three-year siege.
The new plan, which no longer
has victory but defeat at its po-
litical and military basis, is no less
grandiose than that which Hitler
worked out in case of victory over
Russia-which was aimed to carry
him to India.
1t appears to be based purely on
the belief-and hope-that the Al
lied victory will result in quarrels
among the small nations of Europe
The Wilmington morning star., 1945-03-25
Hitler Planning To Keep
Naziisn1 Alive In Europe

and wrangling among the Big
Three.
Already German propagandists
have been making the most out
OF the Allied food situation and the
plight of liberated Europeans, tel
ling the people on the continent that
under the Nazi new order"
they did not starve or face fam
inc.
Hltler's plan, however, can only
succeed if Europe is swept by So
clal unrest, economic crisis and
civil wars. To the architects OF
peace and security at San Francis
CO will fall the job of preventing
this.
But if chaos did follow shortly
after Germany's defeat, then it
would be fertile soil for a revival
of national socialism.
Military, political and economic
experts, however, contend that
such a development would only be
possible if the germ cell of national
socialism survived the dark inter-
i'm period.
Apparently Hitler is banking that
it will. Realizing that the war is
soon-most of Germany will be &C.
cupied, he may withdraw as many
of his forces as possible to the
mountains to carry on guerrilla
fighting.
Many military observers believe
that Hitler will try to hold out in
the MISUNDERSTANDING area
as long as possible. Reports from
inside Germany indicate he has
heavily fortified the area and made
it self-sustaining.
There are two variations Of the
Fortress of Berchtesgaden" plan,
both of which are possible.
One that is Hitler, Himmler and
their immediate collaborators will
give their orders from the strongly
fortified Berghof or Alderhorstz-
Hitler's two residences above Be-
chtesgaden - by wireless to their
underground fighters in the rest
of Germany.
The other: which well informed
observers emphasized must be Ia
ken more seriously and which is
more feasible, is that Hitler may
use this same fortress as a power
center of a redbout comprising part
of Bavaria and Salzburg. It would
have the added advantage of not
being too far from the Swiss from
tier.
But it is agreed generally here
that the decisive thing is not the
military value Of Berchtesgaden
but it's political significance. For
with his agents already spread
through Europe and the world, Hit
Ter could make Berchtesgaden the
last battle.

Jap Plane Twigg

A naval hospital, Guam, July G. (UP)-A Japanese Kamikabe plane sent torpedo into the bow of the destroyer U.SS Twigg, then turned and made a suicide dive into the ships stern, survivors said today.
 The plucky little "tin-can," vet eran of 13 months of some of the Pacific's toughest naval cam paigns, sank 35 minutes after the attack off Okinawa. Ironically, the Twigg sank only a few hours be- fore she was scheduled to begin trip to the United States for overhaul.
 It. James H. Black, 23, Hugo, Okla, executive officer of the ship, said he was on the bridge of the destroyer talking to Cmdr. George Phipp, Jr., her skipper. They were chatting, Black said, about the wonderful news" received that afternoon that their ship was go- ing home when he heard the roar of an airplane engine and dashed for the pilot house.
 Tt was the last I saw of the skipper" Black said. He never had a chance to tell the crew the good news. Everything went black When I came to, the ship was just twisted mass of wreckage for ward of the bridge and a fire was raging aft"

means less production per wage dol lar or, if you prefer, higher cost tires-than before the war, and it means higher cost tires in Akron than in competitor cities.
 The unions know this as well as the companies will try, without re- ducing hourly or weekly wages, to get more tires for their wage-dol- lars. The company that cuts the cost per tire most will be in the best competitive position once the backlog of war-created demand has been satisfied.
 WORKERS FEAR SPEED-UP
 So the workers, it appears, have become aroused at the idea that they are going to be victimized by 8 speed-up that may get out of hand. Their solution is contained in the union demand that joint company union committee shall be provided by contract, and that no changes in rates shall become effective until 1t has been approved by that commit tee. Of this the companies will have no part.
 C.. V. Wheeler, president of the Goodyear local, insists for the re- cord that every single contract con- troversy is as important as any other. But there is some reason to believe that if the log-jam of bit terness, intra- union rivalry and stiff-neckedness could be broken, and if negotiations were resumed, the question of union participation in the fixing of wage rates would prove to be the crux of the eventual settlement.
 Few industries have. as compli- cated a wage system as does rubber. The mechanics, therefore, will differ in other contract squabbles. But &C., tually, increasingly from now on, labor controversies can be expected to hinge upon the desire of the en- ployer to get his production costs into competitive levels, conflicting with the desire of the workers to maintain pay scales without having to work harder.
