Stadium Commission Post
To Be Vacated by FLEMING

Robert v. Fleming, president of
the Riggs National Bank, has asked
to be relieved of his duties as a
member of the nine-man Stadium
Commission because of i'll health.
Mr.. Fleming was one of three men
named by the Commissioners in De-
cember to the commission. John
Russell Young, president of the
Board of Commissioners and men,
ber of the Stadium Commission, said
the resignation had not been for
mally accepted, but that action
might be taken today.
Mr.. Fleming informed Mr.. Young
that he had been advised by his
physician that it would be several
months before he could resume full
duties. He said he felt it was only
fair for the Commissioners to name
successor to work in the months
ahead.
Under the stadium bill, three
members of the commission are
named by the city heads, three by
the Vice President and three by the
Speaker of the House.

Mine fields, road blocks and anti
tank guns slow these giant columns
only momentarily. Doughboys leap
from the iron tanks and sweep in
from the flanks to drive away or kill
the enemy antitank gunners with
rifle fire. Bulldozers move up in
front of the column under cover
of protecting tank guns and shove
aside road-blocking debris from
blown bridges and overhead spans
as combat engineers sweep a path
through the mine fields. Then the
column smashes forward again at
full speed
Whenever the columns run into
strong enemy position, one Sec

lent exception" to some of Mr.. La
Roe's statements.
Senator Wheeler, who has differed
with the administration on foreign
policy, suggested the committee
should go into the relative meat
situation in Canada and this coun-
try.
Canada's Answer.
He said the group should de-
termine whether Britain is not
getting more meat from Canada be-
cause "they have to pay for it." but
not for American lease-lend.
Commenting on a similar asser-
ton by Senator Shipstead, Republic
can, of Minnesota, Canadian Agri-
culture Department spokesman said
in Ottawa that Britain takes as
much meat as the Dominion can
provide. He added that any meat
for which Britain cannot pay is
covered by the Canadian mutual aid
agreement.
The Senate group tackled meat as
the first problem of what Chairman
Thomas declared will be "a Nation
wide investigation of what is caus-
ing food shortages in the United
States"
Senator Thomas said the commit
tee intended in the process to "ex-
pose the black market operations in
meat, chicken, butter, sugar and
other food products"

Error in Deliveries Provides
Safe Rhine Bridge, MisIeods Foe
Former Stor Writer'S $
Brother Soys Luck
Aided Yonk Drive
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star War CORRESPONDENT.

WITH THE UNITED STATES
FORCES ACROSS THE RHINE.
Mar. 27.-A youthful Washington
lieutenant colonel of the Engineer
Corps told me today how an acci-
dental ruse in the bridging of the
Rhine succeeded in DETECTING Ger
man artillery fire.
The officer was 1t. Col. Eugene
Stan, 30, 2711 Colston drive, Chevy
Chase, Md. He is West Point
graduate of 1887 and a brother of
Francis E. Stan, Evening Star sports
columnist now Navy lieutenant.
Col. Stan had charge OF getting
bridge building materials and per-
sonnel through. For the past six
months the engineers have had de-
tailed plans for every point on the
Rhine where a crossing was likely
These plans include intensive studies

side.

been planned. The Washington
lieutenant colonel and the colonel
in command (the latter's name was
withheld by security rules immedi-
ately selected three sites for pom
toon bridges and two for ferry cross
ings.
One site seemed much the best
for heavy pontoon bridge and the
colonel selected it. But the first
materials were delivered by error at
a less favorable site and it was de-
cided to save time and transport by
building the bridge right there.
1t was decided to use the first
site as ferry crossing and direc-
tions were given to have boats de-
livered there.
The Germans naturally knew the
Rhine better than the Americans.
They anticipated that the bridge
would be at the first site and when

PerpIexed
By Shortage Of Meat
On American Tables
By the Associated Press,


Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana said today there is
something rotten in Denmark
or the American people would
have all the meat, they want.
That is the way he summed up
initial testimony before a Senate
committee inquiring into meat
shortages as the first move in a
broad general investigation of the
food situation.
We've got the cattle on the
ranges" Senator Wheeler told re-
porter. We've got the slaughter
houses. We've got the distribution
system. Why shouldn't the Ameri-
can people have meat?"
So far as the smaller packers are
concerned, the answer to Senator
Wheeler's question is the OPA.
The packers spokesman told the
committee yesterday the agency's
pricing policies are putting them
out of business and driving the
meat into black markets"
La Roe Blames OPA.
Wilbur La Roe, jr., counsel for
the National Independent Meat
Packers Association, contended, in
fact, that OPA is following a So
cial philosophy that regards profits
as sin" and violating congressional
mandates for a fair and equitable
margin" for professors of agricul-
tural products. The packers are
asking price relief" which would
mean either higher prices to con-
sumers or increased subsidies.
James F. Brownlee, deputy OPA
administrator, given an opportunity
to reply to Mr.. La Roe Immediately,
asked to put off detailed rejoinder
until today. He said OPA took "yio-

they saw boats and RATS there 1t
seemed to confirm the idea.
So they concentrated their artil-
lery fire on the first site and nearly
all their shells from guns across the
hills fell harmlessly in the water
there while the pontoon bridge was
rushed to completion 2 miles away.
Calls 1t Luck.
Il could say I planned this" said
the colonel in command, "but it
actually was just luck"
Col. Stan has his younger broth
er John F., private, first class, in
his command, his mother said today.
Jacks assignment to his brothers

aent, his mother said.

others were partly occupied. They
were in the area north of Mann
helm, city of 283 300 across the
Rhine from captured Ludwigshafen
to point 10 miles northeast of
Worms-within 10 miles of the 3rd
Army bridgehead.
Allied airborne troops north OF
the Ruhr between the British I'd
and American 9th Armies captured
another 5000 prisoners. The Brit
ish pressed to within miles of
Bocholt, fortified Westphalian traffic
and industrial center.
Low clouds hung over the front,
curtailing aerial operations. Some
scattered showers fell.
The heaviest tank fighting on the
1st Army front was at point a
few miles south of the Sieg River.
In a 7-mile push, one armored
column had to beat a flaming path
through enemy mortar, machine
gun nests, antitank guns, bazookas,
rifle and grenade, rocket and ar
tillery fire.
Farther south of the Sieg, an
other column had an easier time in
reaching Giessenhausen and Hack
sen, "a miles east of the Rhine. An
other tank unit, in a 15-mile ad-
vance through Hackenburg, pushed
to Nisterberg, 81 miles east of the
Rhine. A fourth column in the
same sector crashed through enemy
tank fire and infantry to Wahlrod,
% miles east of the Rhine town of
Honnef.
Gen. Hodges forces on this third
day on continuous attack have
fought through the high hills bor-
dering the Rhine and are moving
now through rolling, sparsely wood
ed terrain more suitable for large
scale tank operations.
Essen Outfianked.
To the north, Essen, greatest city
of the Ruhr, was outf1anked and
threatened frontally as well by 9Th
Army forces at Sterkade. 7 miles
northwestward. Americans were in
the suburbs of Duisburg, Rhine
port of 431, 900. The whole Ruhr
Valley and its factories which
nurtured the collapsing Wehrmacht
was partly outf1anked on the north
by British advance of Is miles or
more on the Westphalian plains.
Its southern flank was turned
completely by 1st Army columns
which ran to Hachenburg, 80 miles
east of the Rhine and "a miles
south of Hamm, eastern exit of the
industrial valley.
German resistance, strongest in
the north, became so weakened be-
fore the charges of Americans,
Canadians, Britons, Scots and
Welshmen that Field Marshal Mont
gomery appeared on the verge of
perhaps the most decisive break
out of the whole campaign.
Gains were immense on the whole
active 175-mile front. The Germans
were bewildered, and in large part
disorganized. Security blackouts hid
the full extent of the triumphs.
