Millions of Men, Also
 Women Will Complete
 Edu(afion at End of War
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, March 8.-Coin- cidence: A number of leading edu- cators came out with the complaint that many colleges will be bankdupt unless the government helps them out in the few years ahead. The very same day the Veterans Admin istration issued a report that there now are nearly 13000 men attend ing school under the CT Bill of Rights and that approximately 10000 of these are in colleges and univer- sites. The rest are in trade schools. junior colleges and high schools.
 It's true that this is a poor figure compared to the number of young men and women who have been talk en out of higher education by the war, but Washington officially isn't viewing with alarm
 VA officials think the number of collegiate veterans would be doubled, tripled or more if it weren't for the high wages paid in war plants Many

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON ct. Col. Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army

WASHINGTON-S cretary Of Commerce Henry Wallace will make no changes around his new de- partment for 60 days, until he gets the feel of the place. After that he will do some real organizing and rebuild a new, streamlined Con- merce Department from the ground up.
 Wallace refused to make any deals in advance of his confirma- tion and is now absolutely free to wield the axe. One back-stage deal was offered to win the vote of Admiral-Senator Tommy Hart of Connecticut. Miss Margaret Corners, who nearly defeated Clare Luce last November, reported that the Admiral was ready to vote for Wallace if Wayne Chatfield Taylor would be retained as Under Sec retary. Wallace, however, refused to promise and in the end, Admiral Hart voted for Wallace anyway.
 Not many people knew It, but Democratic Chairman Bob Hanne- gan, the man who led the fight against Henry Wallace for Vice President at Chicago, had private dinner with Henry in the latter's apartment shortly before the Sen- ate voted his confirmation.
 The dinner clinaxed a new friendship between the two, which began at the start of the Wallace confirmation battle.
 At first, friends had hard time getting the two men together. Wal lace still remembered how Hanne- gan fought him at Chicago. Hanne- gan also was aloof about putting in. A newspaperman who knew both men was largely instrumental in patching things up.

 Softened up by shattering artillery bombardment of the day before, enemy troops yielded all fronts yes terday in the Northern Central Sec tor, as the Japs were forced to with draw into caves at times as they sought to throw back the oncoming Third Division in hand to hand combat.
 The Rank Tank Battalion reported the Japs made suicidal charge against armored vehicles opertaing with the Third Division, attacking suddenly with explosive charges mounted on ends of long poles. The Tankmen said it failed, and no tanks were damaged.
 They reported "a considerable number" of Japs killed in this at tack.
 Three Leatherneck Divisions threatened to spit the remaining enemy force of several thousand men by coordinated drive in an eff fort to bring the eighteen day old operation to conclusion.

SEATTLE, March 8-Judge Rich ard Hanna has denied the claims of three Indian villages for exclu- sive fishing and land rights to ap- proximately 2,0OO miles of South east Alaska shoreline.
 Tn a decision received here yes- terday he ruled that the natives failed to establish exclusive rights which were abandoned by acquies- cence in the use of the land and water by non-Indians.
 Hanna held, however, that ab- original rights were established and suggested Congress pass legislation authorizing an investigation of these rights and providing payment by the United States to the claim ants. In the event Congress fails to act, Hanna suggested that the Secretary of the Interior set aside a reasonable portion of the con- tested lands for the tribes.

TROUBLE FOR MRS.
 WILKINS
GemmiII's Attorney May Seek Impeachment of
 Govt. Witness

SEATTLE, March 8--Defense At- torney Will G. Beardslee, repre- senting United States Attorney Lynn J. Gemmill of the First Di- vision of Alaska, with headquarters at Juneau, at his trial before Fed eral Judge John G. Bowen on charges of soliciting $3,000 and ac- cepting $500 from Mrs. Cleo Pa tricia Wilkins, "A, announced he will seek impeachment of Mrs. Will kins as the result of her answers when called to the stand for cross examination.
 Do you deny you have been con- victed as a prostitute in Seattle" !" Beardslee asked the slender bru- nette.
 T don't remember any convic- tions," she replied.
 Do you deny you were held in quarantine here for treatment of a venereal disease" Beardslee con- tinued.
 T have never been held in quar- antine here because I have never had a venereal disease" angrily retorted Mrs. Wilkins.
 Queried about the reason for the line of questioning after Federal Attorney Charles Dennis objected, Beardsley said he was laying the ground work to impeach the wit ness and that he would have the record of Mrs. Wilkins convictions in Seattle in the court shortly.
 T will not say anything" Mrs. Wilkins said, who had previously admitted working in house of prostitution at Sitka from which a trunk was stolen containing more than $10,000 in cash.
 The defense contended Gemmill accepted $500 from Mrs. Wilkins to use it in making partial resti- tuition to the rightful owner, Mrs Ruby Hazelwood, as the basis for a suspended sentence which he prom ised to recommend.
 Mrs. Wilkins is one of the four charged with the theft of the trunk.
 Five dispositions, testifying to Gemmills good character" were read into the record yesterday, in- cluding one from Gov. Ernest Gruening.
 The Government rested it's case yesterday afternoon and the de- fense was to start presentation ot it's case this morning

 Gen. Hodges poured more and more infantrymen across the river after the sudden sensational cross ing in the darkness.
 The exact location of the bridge head, over a quarter of mile wide, is shrouded in military censorship because the Germans obviously did not know the exact situation.
 The crossing started at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon and in the hours since then, a steady stream of men and material has been pouring onto the eastern bank and moving forward to get the
