ills admission that Ger

their effectiveness a mat
ter of conjecture. It will
remain so during the clos

ties aren't going to oblige
the Nazis by confirming
claims that the w has
landed in London, Paris

than they would announce
a direct hit on Manhattan

Even those who are in
the vicinity of a w hit
(and survive the exper-
ience) cannot know where
the missile was aimed, and
thus cannot judge its ac-
curacy. It also seems un-
likely that, with Allied air

plane on a drafting board,
but a silver giant that al
ready has swum the clear
cold atmosphere of 10000
feet above the earth, a

model that soon will be
taking needed supplies to
the far corners of the
earth. When peace comes
the interior fittings can be
installed quickly SO that it
can carry 100 passengers
in place of its announced
useful cargo load of $4,000
pounds.
Because of the necessity
of wartime secrecy, the
exact particulars of the
new plane have not been
revealed. This much, how
ever, is told, that it has the

rest is speculation on both
sides.
It does seem certain,
though, that the present
w is not SO much a new
super-horror weapon as it
is counter-defensive modi-
fication of the vi. Neutral
sources say the W. is
about twice as long as the
vi, and weighs some Is
tons. But Mr.. Churchill
reports that it carries the
same one-ton explosive
load.
How much the w has
been changed and scaled
down cannot be known.
But the fact remains that
it seems to be serving
largely as a supplement to
the Wis launched by
plane from the North Sea
since the loss of the Chan
mel coast launching ramps.
The V-2's great advantage
"a fiendish psychological
one-is that, since it falls
to earth at a speed greater
than that of sound, its ap-
proach cannot be detect
ed. Wherever it strikes it

lessly as a bolt of lightn-
ing.
It seems doubtful that
w can be very accurate.
Only a ballistic expert
could speak intelligently
on the difficulty of send
ing a missile 200 miles or
more through a trajectory
whose apex is 60 or 70
miles above the earth. But
one can guess that there
are tremendous mathemat-
ical calculations involving
the earth's rotation and

YOUNG COP. CLUB
 AMENDS AGE RULE
No Limitation on General Membership; President
 Must Be 40 or Under

Members of the Waterbury Young Republican Club last night carried over a resolution to its next meeting calling for an age limit of 40 years and under for Its presidential can- di6ates, while at the same time they removed the 40 year limit from the constitution for club members, other officers and board of director mem- berS.
 The move was adopted only after 8 second vote the first having re- suited in failure when the n',e to seven vote favoring the move failed to constitute a majority. Upon motion of Harold Hadley the legal ity of the status of some voting members was questioned. Three members then paid dues to the sec- retary and upon second vote eight favored lifting the 40 year limit.
 MT. Hadley told the club mem- bers that the main thing is to se- cure good workers regardless of age" and that we haven't the younger men to put into office.
 The regular meeting of the New Haven County Young Republican Clubs will be held Thursday al 8 D. m. at Linden Park. Naugatuck
 The group last night appropriated $50 to rent rooms at the Hotel Taft in New Haven on May 12 when 32 delegates from Waterbury will at- tend a New England conference of Young Republican Clubs.

 The President ended with a para graph from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address:

 Most of the rescued civilians from Baguio were in good physical con- dition. They had been aided by the Igorotes who maintained communi- ications with the 33rd Division by what the Americans dubbed the G-string telegraph
 In their daring night movements, the Filipino natives slipped past Japanese guides and led the civil ians to the American lines along secret mountain trails known only by the Igorotes.
 Most of the civilians were rescu- ed from the Japanese mountain stronghold. The only remaining were a few aged and infirm who were unable to make the four-mile hike across the rough terrain.
 Osmena's daughter, Milagros, was captured at Hong Kong, taken to the Philippines and went to Baguio last fall for disqualification. She was suffering from exhaustion and fatigue when rescued.
 General Roxas was captured on Mindanao while serving with the Philippines Army. The Japanese tried repeatedly to win him over but he withstood all attempts and refused everything not shared by his men.

 Schoenberg reported other "deep penetrations" by Soviet forces in the hills on either side of Seelow, 26 miles east of Berlin, and bl the Altfriedland area, 2 miles north east of Berlin.
 The, Russians in the Seelow area were roughly 15 miles or less from a junction with those along the Oder Spree Canal that would encircle Frankfurt.
 Berlin said the Russians had linked up their bridgeheads across the Oder river along solid front all the way from Eberswalde to Le- bus, 34 miles east of Berl.sl on the northern edge of Frankfurt's fortifi- cations.
 Thousands of Soviet tanks and guns and as many as 2,c00 planes were supporting the Russian attacks on Berlin's frontal defenses, the Nazis said. Some 450.OOO shells were fired into the German lines yester- day alone.
 North of the main front. two Rus sian armies crossed to the west bank of the Oder in the Zehden area, 31 miles northeast of Berlin, and still other forces were trying to cross just south of Stettin, Berlin said.
 Advance to Niesky
 On Berlin's southern flank, the Nazis said, Marshal Ivsc s. Konev's First Ukrainian Army forced the Neisse river on a 15-mile front be- tween Forst and Muskau, then drove on another nine miles to the area of Niesky, 45 miles northeast of Dres- den.

 Unconfirmed reports said some Third army units northeast of Chemnitz had reached positions only 20 miles from Dresden and 65 miles from juncture with the Russians
 Seventeen miles southwest of Chemnitz, Third army troops broke into the communications center of zwickau and quickly stamped out most opposition in the city.
 Werdau, four miles west of Zwickau, Lengenfeld, 10 miles southwest, and Greiz, 12 miles west, also were captured in the advance.

 A Nazi Transocean dispatch said that in the past A hours alone. D. 500 Soviet guns and 1900 mortars fired more than 100000 shells on the Oder river front.
 Focal points of the attack, Trans ocean said, were on either side of Frankfurt, on the Kuestrin- Berlin Super-Highway and East of Wier- zen, g miles northeast of Berlin.
 Transocean admitted that the Russians had advanced through the Seelow Hills, 26 miles east of Berlin to positions which could form a springboard for widespread opera tions."
 Berlin also reported a large-scale battle was developing along 16- mile front south of Stettin with Russian forces storming the Oder river at Griefenhagen, Fiddichow and Schwedt.
 Griefenhagen is 13 miles south oi Stettin and Schwedt. AS miles northeast of Berlin. Middichow lies midway between the other two towns.

 As changes in government per- sonnel come along, however, they need not be attributed to basic changes in policy. MT. Truman was a fairly regular New Dealer in the senate. More precisely he was one of the party "moderates," neither extreme conservative nor extreme New Dealer. The social and economic legislation of the Roosevelt admin istration seems to be safe in his hands.
 But the administration and man. agement of the various New Deal agencies is likely to change con- siderably toward more conservative direction.

 The raids were believed to have added materially to the toll of D. 813 planes destroyed or damaged over and on southern Japan and the Ryukyu island chain since March IT.
 A Pacific fleet communique said American Air Forces alone had de- stroyed 2,200 enemy aircraft in the period. British carrier planes ac- counted for an additional 80 and B-29s destroyed 105 more. Another 428 were damaged.
 A Fist Bomber Command an- nouncement said B 29s which hit Japan early Monday burned out an additional 5.2 square miles in Tokyo and 29 square miles in the nearby industrial center of Kawasaki.
 This boosted the total area of Tokyo destroyed in B-29 raids to 32.7 square miles-nearly one-tenth of the capitals 360 square miles.

First Lieutenant Frederick Brems, Chicago, said:
 Those kids at those road blocks fought hard with every kind of weapon the Germans have"
 The Jugend was armed with mor- tars, panzerfausts (anti-tank guns), bazookas, grenades and pistols. The Americans said the youngsters seem to be just as skilled as reg ular army troops and much more fanatical.
 The youths impressed civilians into battle. One American tanker said he was fired upon from win- dow by an old man who must have been at least 80 years old as he rolled his tank down the rubble- strewn Halbertstadter StrasSe.
 Halberstadter Strasse is the main street of Magdeburg. It was filled with huge craters left by yesterdays air attack. Tank bull-dozers were busy filling in the holes with rub- ble.
 l The street reeked with smoke from burning buildings. Dirty civil ians, some with bandages and wear ing torn clothing, stood near the bombed buildings, watching the American tanks and jeeps race past The bitterest battle was in two- block square area in the center of town where the Hitler Youth made a fierce stand.
 The youngsters were IA to 18 years old and many looked even younger.
 Some of the Jugend held their ground until throwing tanks came up to burn them out of their ubble-chocked strongpoints.
 Major Henry zeien, Fessenden, N. D., of tank battalion attached to the 18th Infantry Regiment re- ported that the Elbe river bridges were blown up early this morning
