 Invade Denmark: Germans In Flight

 Salzburg has surrendered un- conditionally. Half a million Ger mans surrendered in forty-eight hours to the British Second Army with at least three attached American divisions, in the north.
 Germans who have not surren- dered north of fallen Hamburg are in chaotic flight by land and sea toward Norway where the shad- owy Doenitz regime may make it's last stand about the bases of the submarines the admiral once commanded. Planes, tanks and ar tillery all turned the German flight into a debacle of burning ships and wreck land transport as the diehard Nazis were driven into the sea.
 Virtually all of Germany is conquered and the last Nazi hold ings are shrinking pockets, un- tenable beyond the hope of relief. One unconfirmed enemy broad cast said hostilities had ended in western Holland where the Cana dian First Army were feeding the hungry Dutch through truce corner in the German Twenty Fifth Army's Grebbe line.
 Supreme headquarters ack- nowledged the British were ad- vancing so swiftly that it was completely out of touch with Dempsey's vanguards. Reporters in Sweden, closer across the mar row Kattegat, said the British Second Army crossed the Danish frontier in several places. The complete liberation of Denmark will be accomplished swiftly.

LOSE SUIT TO
ESCAPE SCHOOL TAXES

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. II
(ANP)-Because Negro school
has only on eight month term and a
white high school runs for nine
months is no legal ground for the
refusal of Negroes to pay taxes,
the court of appeals ruled Friday.
The unanimous decision over
ruled Madison Circuit courts find
ing in litigation between the Berea
Board of Education and certain Ne
gro taxpayers. 1t was pointed out
that pupils in an eight months
school may advance as rapidly and
master the prescribed courses to as
great an extent as those in nine
months school, and that the state
constitution provides that such
schools must have not less than
eight month terms.
1t was added that the court based
its position on all other factors,
such as teaching personnel and
equipment being equal, which it
was not otherwise stated in the
suit.
