to point 10 miles southeast of the river line and 47 miles northwest of Munich. They teamed up with the French to capture the Danubian city of Ulm and won new bridge head across the historic river fl miles to the southwest at Ehingen.
 It came on the heels of a Moscow report that the American First Army to the north had linked up with Russian troops below Berlin to split the German front irrevocably and doom the enemy's remaining forces to hopeless pocket de- fense."
 There was no confirmation of the Moscow report and censored field dispatches from the First Army front said the juncture apparently had not been effected by this morn- ing.
 Still another juncture of the east ern and western fronts appeared imminent on the U. s. Ninth Army lines along the Elbe river. The Tanks cleared out the last enemy pockets west of the river in their sector west and northwest of Berlin and opened direct radio contact with Russian tropS storming past the embattled Nazi capital.
 Field dispatches said no actual link-up had ben made on the Ninth Army front up to nine a& m. Tues day 6 a. m. EWT)
 Farther to the northwest, the British Second Army frightened its siege lines around the southern outskirts of Hamburg and stormed through the outskirts of flaming Bremen behind pulverizing aerial and artillery barrage that was levelling the once-great port block by block.
 But the spotlight of the western front battle still focused on the American Third Armys dramatic race for Berchtesgaden.

 The White House statement on the pre-San Francisco discussions said Stettinius, Eden and Molotov would go to work on the Polish issue again as soon as they reached the west coast.
 40-Minute Session
 Shortly after this was announced the three statesmen closeted them selves for the third time in Stct- tinius' State Department office for a 40-minute session. Then Chinese Foreign Minister T. V. Soong. whose government along with the Dig Three is sponsoring the security conference, was called in.
 For an hour and a half the Big Four discussed what Soong said la- ter were final arrangeemnts for the conference" He hurried from the meeting ahead of Molotov and Eden to become the first of the four to board plane for San Fran cisco.

 They came out next day with their money trucks, their military guards and their sirens bowling We fired up the furnaces and stoked 'em with million of dollars, and sugar production never was better.

The treasury never would say how much we burnt, but estimating how many bills you can get on one shovel load, we figured we must have burned about $70,000,000 worth.
 The youngsters in the army who served as guards took this as their change to light cigarets with $l000 bills. They wanted to have their picture taken doing it, but the treasury said nothing doing. Some kind of law against it."

 Three-Way Announcement
 The Soviet-American junction - severing Europe and cutting off Berlin and northern Germany from the National Redoubt in the south was expected to be announced formally soon by Washington, Mos COW and London.
 A poll of high Soviet officers in Moscow revealed that they believed all German resistance north of Ber- lin and south of Dresden would be crushed in the next fortnight, leav- ing only the Redoubt to be conquer ed.
 Washington military observers estimated 1t would take the Allies about three weeks to clean up northern Germany except for hold out port cities and possibly six weeks to conquer the southern Re- doubt.)
 Within the new few days, two more Russian army groups the Second and Third White Russian - probably will smash across the Oder in the Stettin area and clear vest ern Pomerania and Mecklenberg for a junction with Marshal Sir Ber- nard L. Montgomery's 2lst Army group, Moscow said.
 With the completion of these drives, the battle of Europe will en- ter the mop-up stage.
 The snapping shut of the last escape gap out of Berlil was re- ported both by the French telegraph agency, quoting the Luxembourg radio, and by the Stockholm Bureau of the London Daily Mail.
 The Daily Mail said the encircle- ment was completed at Spandau in eastern Berlin. The Nazi radio last night said the Russians had reach- ed Spandau, but claimed there still was a four-mile gap open between that district and Neider Neundorf.
 The more cautious Soviet high command, whose reports in recent days have trailed one to three days behind the actual fighting, placed the two arms of the pircerS at Hen nigsdorf and Marienfelde, IT miles apart.
 Speculation ragged whether the Red Army would catch Adolf Hitler in its Berlin trap. The German radio said yesterday Hitler had re- mained behind at the main de- fense line" in Berlin.
 Premier Marshal Stalin, in two ringing orders of the day, revealed that his first White Russian and first Ukrainian Armies, already had cleared 21 metropolitan dis tricts-125 square miles inside Berlln's Times Square.
 The Germans fought fanatically to stem the Russian tide and coun- ter-attack frequently, 8 Soviet communique said.
 It reported that the Soviets had intercepted a German radio order to artillery units to fire on their own infantry with shrapnel when ever they retreated.
 All requests by commanding of ficers to the German high com- mand for permission to retreat met the same reply: hold out, what ever the circumstances. Whoever retreats will be shot"

 Typical was the German stand at Neumarkt, 18 miles southwast of Nuremberg. There the Germans treacherously hung out surrender flags and tried to ambush the Americans when they rode in to take over the city.
 The Tanks pulled out hurriedly, called in their artillery support and literally beat the town to ashes with frightful storm of shellfire.
 Correspondents advancing with the Third Army tank leaders re- ported that mud and booby. traps vert the principal obstacle to the Berchtesgaden drive, although enemy resistance appeared to be stiffening somewhat late today.
 Almost 80 miles southwest of Re- gensburg, the American Seventh Army expanded its bridgehead across the Danube at Dillingen to a width of ten miles and depth of six miles extending within 50 miles northwest of Munich
 Ulm Captured
 The Seventh Army was still meet ing fanatical resistance in the bridgehead area, but another 30 miles to the southwest they broke through to capture the Danubian Cathedral city of Ulm.
 Units of the French First Army entered Ulm simultaneously from the southwest, closing a trap on thousands of Germans in a 5O0- square-mile pocket south and south west of Stuttgart.
 A smaller German force also was sealed of in 1O0-square- mile pocket directly north of Ulm, while the French alone closed a third trap on uncounted thousands of Ger mans in the Black Forest to the west.
 French forces advancing along the Swiss border east of the Black Forest held 40-mile strip of the frontier and were closing rapidly on the former Zeppelin base at Friedrichshafen, on the eastern shores of Lake Constance.
 The capture of Friedrichshafen would put the French only IA miles from the Austrian border. The city was reported aflame and its fall ap- peared imminent.
 United Press dispatches from the Swiss frontier said other French troops stormed across the Rhinejust north of Basic early today and were rapidly clearing out the f1ve-mile corridor between Istein and Basic. Friedlingen was reported captured without opposition.

and armored troop carriers, divert ed from the Berlin drive to spear head what may prove the last bat tie of Europe, were riding rough shod through the vaunted Bavar- ian defenses at tremendous pace.
 Tens of thousands of crack Nazi elite guards, handpicked for the de- fense of Hitler's Bavarian redoubt, were scattering in disorder before the sudden American onslaught.
 Patton's left wing protected by the rugged Bohemian forest firing ing the Czechoslovak border, was barely 57 miles from the Austrian frontier on the direct road to Berchtesgaden. His right wing was moving in on Regensburg from three sides, pushing into the Da- nube Valley only 65 miles from Munich.
 1n general advances averaging 18 miles in "A hours, the 11th armored division on Pattons left flank stormed into the big rail and high way junction of Cham, 57 miles from Australian soil, 109 miles northwest of Berchtesgaden and 2a miles northeast of Regensburg. On the opposite flank, an un- identified Third Army force broke into Beratzhausen, 12 miles west of Regensburg. Other infantry col umns captured Burglenfeld and reached the Schongras area, F miles northwest and IT miles north east of Regensburg.
 Powerful infantry task forces were moving up swiftly in the wake of the 11th Armored Division. wip- ing out by-paSsed German pockets of resistance.
 Reverse Run
 There was no immediate word on the whereabouts of the Third Armys famed Fourth and Sixth Armored Divisions, which have been blacked out since Patton started his great reverse run south- ward Sunday.
 United Press War Correspondent Robert Richards reported that a bloody battle was expected for Re- gensburg, one of the biggest re- maining German industrial and military centers in the Danube and the scene of some of the wars bit- terest aerial fights.
 Hundreds of giant flak guns were believed still emplaced around the city and Third Army officers be- lieved the Nazis would have one last fling in defense of the city be- fore going down.

 The announcement came on Pe- tain's 89th birthday.
 He went to Germany with Pre- mier Pierre Laval and other mem berS of the former Vichy govern ment last summer when Allied Armies began to overrun his home land.
 He set up puppet regime at Sig maringer1 on the Danube in south- west Germany, but the Nazis were reported to have moved him to their southern redoubt last month as Allied Armies again approached.
 Laval reportedly sought pernis- sion to enter neutral Lichtenstein Monday, but was refused entry.
