T'ung Chih periods have been quite
popular with collectors even if they
are comparatively recent pieces.
Their beauty and detail recon-
pense for their lack OF antiquity.
Many collectors who have Travelled
in the Orient will remember the
famous Jade Market on Canton
road in China. The name is mis-
leading, for there is very little jade
sold there. In the shops, or stalls,
all under one roof, all the gossip and
the grapevine" about the selling
and buying of porcelains and pic
lures is heard and repeated. Jade
Market is relatively small group
OF shops. But although big and i'm
portant antique dealers may have
their private residences and shops
in other parts of the city, they fire.
quently drop by the market to catch
up on news of special porcelain
pieces that may be going its rounds.
If you or were to visit Jade Mar
ket we would probably be shown the
poorer pieces. But if we were spe-
cial customers and wise to the ways
of the Oriental dealer. in antiques,
perhaps then We would be able to
glimpse some valuable collectors
items.
No matter where or from whom
you buy, beware of limitations
Nothing hurts so much as the sight
of some worthless antique bought in
good faith. Also the most impor-
tant thing to remember in acquir-
ing any collection of vases or porce-
lains is that they must be. arranged
to their best advantage. Collectors
would do we'll to bear in mind the
Oriental theory that one doesn't
have all of ones choice possessions
on view at the same time!

APRON FROM SHIRT.

From Mrs. N. G., Arlington.)
Several weeks ago you printed
the directions for making an apron
from two shirts. I have an excellent
pattern for one from one shirt.
Use the back of the shirt for the
body Of the apron. Cut the yokes for
back and front out of the fronts of
shirt, turning the stripes cross-wise.

Luzon Jops
 Disarranged
BY HI. D. QUIGG

Manila, April 12-(UP)-Amer- ican troops raced IA miles through disorganized Japanese defenses to secure a second foothold on the z ssern coast of Luzon today.
 The new anchor, in the Mauban area 55 miles southeast of Manila was established by clements of the first cavalry division which has been clearing the Luzon sector east of Lagulla Bay.
 Pushing out from newly captured Lucban, the first cavalry troops swept northeast along a gravel highway through the town of Sam- paloc and reached Mauban on the coast, 12 miles north of 11th air. borne division units at Antimonan,
 A communique disclosed that the main forces of the 11th division had moved into Antimonan to thoroughly consolidate the posi- tions in the town seized two days ago by advance units.
 The parallel drives by the caval- " and airborne troops effectively sealed off the Japanese forces in the Bicol Peninsula, in southeast ern Luzon already under attack from the south by the 158th reg mental combat team, and secured all the road networks in southern Tayabas province.
 In Central Luzon, Sixth Division troops finally cleared Mount Mataba and two adjoining peaks, approx imately IS miles northeast of Ma nila, and continued to push north eastward into the upper watershed region.
 The Sixth Division set new record for continuous combat in the Southwest Pacific theater by fighting 94 straight days against the stubborn Japanese defenses in the hills east of Manila.
 Bombers and fighters steadily supported American forces in clear ing Japanese positions around the Balete Pass and Baguio, enemy headquarters in the Philippines.
 One American column, moving along the Naguilian-Baguio road pushed II miles inland from Lin- gayen Gulf to capture the village of Salat, five miles northeast of Baguio, former Philippines summer capital.
 Southwest of Baguio, air patrols wrecked five bridges & ud exploded many enemy alnmunil.m dumps along the escape route into the Southern Cagayan Valley from the Balete Pass, where ground forces sealed 58 cave strongpoints.
 Philippines-based army Sombers carried the naturalization cam" paign against Formosa through Tuesday. while navy search planes raSded Hong Kong's port installa- tt0ns, rail targets in French 1ndo- China and wrecked three more Japanese trelghters.

Ship Blast Kills 267, Iniures 1,6OO

Rome, April 12-UP)-Al- most 1900 Italian civilians and an undetermined number of Allied service personnel were killed or injured today when a munitions ship exploded in Bari Harbor.
 First accounts from the scene indicated the disaster was even greater than that which Oc- cured Dec. 2, 1943, when Ger man bombers blew up five mu- nitions laden American ships at Bari, wrecking the harbor and causing 1000 casualties.
 At least 267 italians were be- lieved to have been killed in the blast today and another l. 600 were injured.
 There was no immediate ex- pIanation for the explosion which set fire to a number of other Allied supplyships in the harbor.
 Bari, on the Italian Adriatic coast 135 miles east of Naples, was one of the main supply ports for the Allied Armies in Italy.

 UP TO PATTON
 AND 3RD ARMY
BY REYNOLDS PACKARD

Weimar, Germany, April 12.-UP) - Weimar, cradle of the German republic which Adolf Hitler smashed in his rise to power, sur rendered today to the men of It. Gen. George s. Patton's Third Army who entered the city and completed it's occu- patton at 10:30 a. m.
 The 80th Infantry division occupied Weimar which had surrendered to the Ameri- cans despite desperate orders issued only today by Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler that no town or city of Germany was to surrender on pain of death to German officials.
 An infantry column led by Col. N. A. Costello, Arlington, Va, par aded in to the old city. But most of the populase did not see the en- try because they deliberately turn ed their b acks on our troops and glared Sullenly at the ground.
 The city was surrendered to our forces largely through the efforts of Erika Fisched, pretty blue-eyed au- burn-haired wife of German phy- sician. She is lf-American.
 Mrs. Fischer's mother is Mrs. Henrietta Hansen, New Yorker who was said to have been the wife of German general prominent in the last war.
 Mrs. Fischer often visited Wash ington and New York but declined to name her American friends in fear that her German connections might be prejudicial to them. (Continued on Page 4)

BY ROBERT MUSEL

London, April 12.-(UP)-MoscoW reported today that violent fight ing had blazed up in the Red Arnly's $ Oder river bridgehead on the ap- breaches to Berlin as American mos bile forces raced toward the Nazi capital from the west.
 Soviet troops are waging fierce battles beyond the Oder on the ap- breaches to Berlinfi," 8 Moscow broadcats said.
 The report indicated that Mar shal Gregory K. Zhukov had light ed the fuse of his long brewing push against Berlin, synchronizing it with U. S. Ninth Army drive to squeeze the heart. of Nazidon in a nutcracker.
 ,Zhukovs reported onslaught hit the German .defenseS in the Oder valley about 30 miles due east of Berlin. There he had maSsed in his bridgef1ead across the Oder a great array of Soviet troops and .srnpS. Only yesterday formidable forces of COsSack cavalry were re- ported on the move, evidently into positions to @spearhead lightning sweep westward.
 The Soviet high command never officially reported the Oder cros- sing in front of Berlin. But Ber- lin and Moscow reports have made it evident that Zhukov has won a springboard beyond the river for the climatic assault, now apparent ly beginning.
 The Germans reported last night that their army had lost Klessin, on the Berlin side of the Oder SS miles east of the capital.

 Front reports from Okinawa said the American drive also was hamp- cred by drenching rains, which stalled m otorized equipment and begged down foot troops of the 24th Army Corps. 5
 While the army troops were bat- ting against the Japanese stone wall in the south, Marines made some advances on Ishikawa Penin- sula in the north. s
 Admiral Chester w. Ninitz mean- time disclosed that army troops completed the occupation yesterday of Tsugen Island, of the east coast of Okinawa and dominating Oktn- awa's Nakagusuku Bay.
 NimitZ also revealed that Amer ican casualties in the first nine days of the campaign totaled 2,695, of which 4S2 were killed, 2,l03 wound ed and 160 missing. The count of Japanese dead on Okinawa totaled 5,009 through Sunday.

 United Press Correspondent E. c. Valens, with the Seventh Army Di- vision on the Island, said the troops were encountering heavily mined roads and fields and hundreds of deep caves in ridges, which have to be cleared out one by one. Sonde of the caves are two stories deep,
 The heaviest Japanese resistapce was centered in Ouki village, north of Yonabaru airf1eld, where the American advance was being meas ured in inches.

 TO HIT BERLIN
BY BOYD D. LEWIE

Paris, April 12. - (UP) = American Ninth Army tanks smashed through the Elbe River defenses today, striking into the last 50 miles before Berlin, and It. Gen. George s. Patton's Third Army splintered Germany's east front supply lines with 2 46- mile dash for Halle and Leip- zig.
 Elements of the Ninth Army's Second "Hel on Wheels" Armored Division stormed across the Elbe at an unspecified point near the fortress city of Magdeburg, 60 miles west of Berlin.
 First reports indicated the Amer jeans may have captured intact one of the six Elbe bridges in the Mag deburg area, opening the way for full-Scale armoreu orlVe uAto VA1S doomed German capital.
 The Ninth Army troops spurted 55 miles through the weakest enemy opposition to reach the Elbe late yesterday, pace if it were con tinued would threaten to carry their battle flags into Berlin by nightfan.
 The slashing drive across Berlin,S last western water barrier raised the imminent threat of disaster for perhaps 100000 Germans facing the Red Army along the Oder river line 117 miles to the east.
 Four more Ninth Army Divisions were crowding on the heels of the Second Armored Division, ready to swing across the Elbe and break into the rear of the Germans Oder river defenseS.
 Simultaneously, Patton's charging Third Army tanks were cutting across the German escape routes south of Berlin against equally dis organized opposition.
