Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Army's growing need for
young infantrymen to replace COM
bat losses will take practically all
inductees under 81 for the next three
months.
Beginning today, the Army and
Navy announced jointly, the only
exception to Army assignments for
men drafted in that age bracket
will be the comparatively few who
qualify for such specialized naval
programs as radio technicians and
combat air. crewmen.
Routine manpower needs of the
Navy will be met from the 21-to-38
age brackets during the three e-month
period Of the agreement.
The move is another step in the
Army's efforts to increase It's sources
Of supply Tor infantrymen. In recent
months the service has combed all
its other branches.
Last nights announcement made
no mention Of, and presumably does
not affect, the Nays policy of en-
listing T-year-olds.
About 10000 youths reach their
18th birthdays monthly, and the
recent division has been approxi-
niately 5000 to the Army and u.s.
600 to the Navy.

REMAGEN, Mar. l5.-It is now
planned to rename the Ludendorn
Bridge, on which the LIST Army made
its crossing of the Rhine, after a
young Washington lieutenant of en-
gineers killed in trying to repair it
on the night OF the first crossing.
Name of the lieutenant cannot be
transmitted under Army rules, which
insure notification Of next Of kin
before names of men killed in action
can be carried in dispatches.
The lieutenant was shot dead on
the bridge when he was checking q
chart with Capt. Chester Shulz of
Buffalo in a momentary glimmer Of
a. flashlight.
The lieutenant was one OF group
Of combat engineers working on the
bridge in pitch blackness with enemy
shells reaching a rapid-flre crescen-

Major League Baseball PreSi-
dents Ford Frick and Will Harridge
said today they will recommend to
their clubs the cancellation of spring
training camps involving public
transportation.
Mr.. Frick and Mr.. Ha4ridge
made this announcement along with
Clark Griffith, president of the
Washington Nationals, after con-
ferring with ODT Director j. Mon
roe Johnson.
In effecting this further voluntary
reduction in travel, the big league
clubs may play intra-camp games
as well as contests en- route to their
home parks, provided the cities
where those games are played are
on direct route home and no ad-
ditional travel is involved.
Games which the league heads
will recommend be cancelled are
those necessitating special trips BY
"a team from one training camp to
another. Games at Army and Navy
camps may be played, however
when transportation is provided by
the armed services.

LONDON, Mar. 15.-Allied
warplanes ripped into the Reich
again today in the 31st day of q
sustained aerial offensive which
saw Raj raiders unleash a new
weapon yesterday-an 11-ton
superbomb credited with knock
ing out the vital Berlin n-Ruhr
railway viaduct at Bielefeld, 80
miles east of the Rhine.
British bombers were in action
during the night, heavies striking at
the western front supply centers of
Zweibruecken and Homburg, while
Mosquitoes attacked Berlin for the
23d straight night.
More than 5000 British and
American planes participated in the
operations yesterday during which
the new RAF super-bombs were
introduced in the attack on Biele-
field.
Six to Eight Spans Destroyed.
The Air Ministry announced that
six to eight spans of the viaduct
had been destroyed simultaneously
Raj Lancasters attacked another
viaduct at Arnsburg, q miles south
east of Dortmund, with six-ton
"earthquake" bombs.
The two viaducts were described as
the most vulnerable points on what
are now perhaps the most important
railway routes in all Germany.
Originally there were two parallel
viaducts at Bielefeld, each carrying
two railway tracks, but one previ-
ously had been knocked out by six
ton earthquake bombs.
The huge $4,000 Founders, heavier
by five tons than the streamlined
type which sank the German battle
ship Tirpitz and penetrated 15-foot
