Chinese Forces
Speed Drive To
Retake Airports

CHUNGKING, June IL. UP)-
Chinese forces moved nearer to re-
covery of two former major Ameri-
can air bases Monday with three
pronged advance toward Kweilin
and an attack on Japanese forces
in the suburbs of Liuchow. 90 miles
to the southwest.
The high command said there
were indications the Japanese al
ready had started withdrawal from
the great base of Kweilin, $50 miles
southeast of Chungking. The base
fell to the Japanese last September
in their costly drive into Kweichow
province.
One column of Chinese, north of
the western part of the Human
Kwangsi railway, has reached a
point 10 miles northwest Of Kweilin
and was reported engaged in bitter
fighting. A second column was strik-
ing toward Yining, II miles north
west of the base.
Other Chinese troops, striking east
from Peishou in northern Kwangsi,
have reached Liangchiangyu, II
miles west of KWeilin.

SUICIDAL STUPIDITY
Riverside Daily Press)

The Jap war machine teaches young
student the rudiments of flying, seals
him in plane and sends him on a suicide
mission against American ships. 1t hops
up young soldier with crackpot patriot
ism, straps his body with explosives. and
sends him hurtling into the American
lines.
This country, on the other hand, is
constantly improving equipment with
view toward saving more lives and planes
and ships
The Jap suicide pilots cause serious
damage = when they hit The suicide
infantrymen do likewise - when they
reach our lines. But whether they sue
ceed or fail life is expended in both
instances and, in the first, plane is lost
as we'll.
American pilots sink ships, too Ameri-
can infantrymen have wiped out half
dozens and dozens of Japs single-handed.
And in the majority Of such cases they
have lived to fly and fight another day.
The Jap is not only inhuman, he is
also inefficient

Portland's Monument Square.

(San BernardinO SUM
World opinion must by now be con-
vinced Germany and the German people
are not to be coddled by the victors. Rep
resentatives of the Allies have taken ade-
quate steps to insure Nazi understanding
of the fact that Germany was beaten and
must pay the penalty.
Nothing the German people can do, so
long as this generation endures, can over
come public distrust of their purposes.
Any other policy towards the Nazi
gangsters, and their deluded country
men, would but encourage secret efforts
to prepare for another onslaught upon
civilization.

LONDON, June II. CUP)-An un-
confirmed Stockholm dispatch said
Monday that two children-a boy
and girl-were born to Adolf Hit
Ter and Eva Braun during their
long illicit love affair.
Hitler's 18th hour marriage to
Eva just before Berlin fell was un-
dertaken to legitimatiZe the chill
dren, the dispatch said. The mar
riage first was reported by Marshal
Gregory K Zhukov, Soviet conquer
or of Berlin, last Saturday.
CHILDREN SOUGHT
The Stockholm dispatch, which
appeared in the London Daily Ex-
press, said the children, the boy now
five years old and the girl four,
were the object Of widespread
search by American and British oc-
cupation forces.
The dispatch said the story cf
the children was told by Erik Wess-
len, who was attached to the Swed-
ish legation in Berlin and was in
lClOSC GOuSll Will I1lOlCl . llCdOIldI =
ters during the siege Of the Nazi
capital.
Wesslen said prominent Germans
believed the children were living
with distant relatives of Eva's moth
er somewhere in Bavaria.
HIt was believed that when Hitler
left Berlin April or 9, he went not
lpIfly to say good bye to his children
but probably to remove them to a
safer place" WesSlen said.
He spent three days at Bavaria
at a moment when his presence in
Berlin was more necessary than
ever"
Hitler returned to Berlin with
Eva and Nazi sources said they died
together there. Zhukov said Satur-
day, however, that the Soviets have
been unable to identify any body as
that of the fuehrer.

This is a sensible order and one which
should have been issued some time ago.
The only good reason for military cen
sorship is to insure military security, and
where security is not involved censorship
should be lifted
1t is difficult to see how security has

A Bern dispatch to tie Daily Ex-
press said the Japanese legation in
Switzerland was doing it's best to
convince all who will listen that
Hitler still is alive.
The Japanese contention is that
Hitler plans to emerge from hiding
'at the right moment" to lead a
German national revival, the Bern

His reply to President Truman's offer
is amazing in this political age Gillette
explained he had not practiced law in 25
years and therefore did not feel quail

have accepted, regardless.
Gillett's gesture will do much to raise
him in the estimation of those who had

Allied Raid Ended
Nazi Surrender
Plans Last August
By JACK FLEIsCHER

BERCHTESGADEN, June IL
(UP)-Field Marshal Guenther Won
Kluge, then German commander in
the west, tried to surrender himself
and perhaps all his armies to the
Americans last August, only to be
blocked at the last moment by an
ill-timed Allied air raid.
The story of Won Kluges rebel
lion and subsequent suicide when
the surrender failed, was revealed
for the first time Monday. in a file
of eyewitness testimony and other
reliable evidence uncovered here by
Allied military authorities.
ARRANGED MEETING
The rebellious field marshal Sc
cretly arranged a rendezvous with
American Third army officers on
lonely road near Avranches.s
Leaving his command uncovered
for more than "a hours, Won Klugc
and his staff drove to the meeting
place and waited hour after hour
for the Americans to arrive.
Finally, fearing he had been be-
trayed, the German commander
rushed back to his headquarters.
only to find that Hitler had dis
covered his absence and ordered him
back to Berlin.
The American delegation, mean
while, had started for the rendez-
vous but was delayed by heavy
Allied bombing attack on the roads
before them. When they reached
the Avranches road they found it
empty. The surrender might have
altered the entire course of the war
and knocked Germany out then
and there.
