 Eyewitness accounts, sent by Russian correspondents from Berlin, said Nazi soldiers, rushing from station -to-station in express trains constantly were popping up in un- expected spots behind the Red Army troops, fighting their way to- ward the center of the city.
 A Red Star, Soviet Army news paper correspondent, declared the battle for the city is assuming a peculiar character which ''it is diff ficult to defin. Firing first is going on ahead, then there are unex- pected battles in the comparatively deep rear against Germans trans ferred from the center of Berlin through the subways-many fresh units of them.
 They crawl from the subway stations, bringing field pieces with them, and put the streets under fire. We have to wipe them out or drive them back into the tunnels. Otherwise. they spread over many blocks and seriously threaten our communications"

Associated Press War COrrespondent)
 GUAM, April 25ZSeventh Divi- sion infantrymen captured an im- portant Japanese position atop the high ground on the western flank of the fiery battle line in southern Okinawa yesterday, while Marines of the Third Amphibious Corps, meantime, landed on three more small islands off Okinawa, securing them quickly.
 Japanese resistance continued heavy during the sixth day of the all-out offensive on the southern end of Okinawa, where the enemy has lost more than 11,000 killed since D-Day, April l.
 The high ground seized was West Ishin, a village on the west coast of Okinawa, where Seventh Divi- sion troops in that sector are bear ing down on Macni Alto airfield, several hundred yards away.
 There is no reported progress either on the eastern flank or the bitterly y-held central sector of the rugged line.
 The new islands invaded by Ma rines were Yagachi and Kouri, north of Motobu Peninsula, on the east coast. Marines are mopping up Jap remnants on Yagachi.'
 Pacific Fleet ships continued to pour heavy fire into Japanese po- sitions, sealing numerous caves and blasting blockhouses, pillboxes, and other elaborate defenses in the southern section.
 Meantime, preparations were pushed by American forces for im- mediate conversion of the cap- tured northern three -fourths of Okinawa into base operations against Japan.

By Fred Hampson' Associated Press War CorrespondenD

.
 MANILA, April 25-Smashed and bloody Baguio, Philippine summer capital, around which the Japanese have been making the Pacific wars most desperate struggle, is all but in American hands today.
 One column of the 133rd Division, driving down the highway from the northeast, is within 2,500 yards of the attractive city, and is meeting only slight resistance as they consolidate for the final push.
 Other troops of the 133rd Divi- sion seized a 500-foot tunnel on the Asin- Baguio road Sunday, after two days of hard fighting. Mont Mirador, the mile-high site of the Government Observatory overlook ing Baguio Plateau, is also in Am erican hands.
 Gen. Douglas MacArthur an- nounoed American troops on Min danao, the only other remaining Japanese stronghold in the Philip pines, are driving north and east ward toward Davao from captured Kabacan, and are now meeting only ineffective resistance.
 Philippine based bombers again struck at Formosa, and raided the Japanese held naval base at Saigon, French Indo-C China, while installa- tions at Swatow and Hainan, China, were also attacked.

WILL NEW PEACE
 SEEDS TAKE ROOT
 E QUESTION NOW
By Alexander R. George

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Nobody knows exactly what will happen when the U. s. Senate is called upon to ratify the charter for world peace organization to be drafted at San Francisco, but:
 l. A State Department official says various public opinion polls show eight or nine of every ten American in favor of our entering such an organization. The off, cial said these surveys indicate a majority believe the organization should use force, if necessary, to keep the peace.
 2. The political atmosphere, as indicated by the speeches of Senator VaisdenEerg (R-Mich), is more favorable to our joining such an association than it was in 1919.
 vandenttrg, generally recogniz- ed as the leading spokesman for the Republicans on foreign policy. said in accepting the invitation to become a delegate to the conference: T believe practical system of collec- tive security .. is indispensable !"
 League supporters in 1919 con- tended that a majority of the vot- ters wanted us to join then. No extensive canvass of voter opinion was taken, although Literary Digest poll of 1877 newspaper edi- tors showed 7l8 for unqualified ap- proval, 478 for conditional approval and l8l opposed to our going into the league in any form.
 After five months of bitter de- bate the final test in the Senate came on Nov. 19, 1919, more than a year after the war ended. The vote was 39 to 55 for ratification with reservations, far short of the two thirds margin.
 The fight revolved around Article 10 of the Leagues covenant, under which member nations pledged to preserve against aggression the terri tory and political independence of all members of the league. Oppon- ents said: We don't want our boys to fight wars for the monarchs of Europe"
 In hot presidential campaign the following year, Democratic can didate James M. COX stressed the league issue, and many Republicans said Harding's landslide victory in dicated the voting masses had kill ed and buried the league"
 In 1919, big-narne Progressive Re- publicans fought against our enter ing any kind of league Power ful conservative Republican Sena- tors centered their efforts on reser- vations to prevent the loss of Amer ican independence' and any use of force.
 Big-name Republicans of today = Vandenberg, Herbert Hoover, Gov Dewey, former Gov. Stassen and others-have been working for our entrance into an organization with force to maintain peace.
 Public interest in the security conference has been increased by its being held on our home grounds" In 1919, there was much criticism of the Paris conference as "far-off foreign conspiracy"
 President Wilson's four peace com- rnissioners were not confirmed by the senate. Only one was a Repub- lican. Other Republicans charged the President meant it to be a Demo- cratic peace as well as a Democratic war.
 Today leading Republicans anc Democrats are insisting that peace efforts be kept bipartisan.
