WITH THE 1ST ARMY IN GER
MANY, April lit required Is
days for the 1000 sick and starved
soldiers to stumble 500 miles through
snoWdrifts, buck blizZards and
trudge in mud to meet at the end
a terrible torture place, the brick
yards at Duderstadt.
They marched, often foodless, an
average of Is miles day-but many
days they were halted while the
next move was planned The
Americans were mostly members of
the l06th Division, the unit that
was engulfed near Malmedy early
in the ArdenneS break-through
more than 1000 members of the
l06th Division were reported missing
after the battle. Many from the
Washington area were in the divi-
sion.)
Men were dying all along the road
I got this from the diary kept by a
British sergeant. 1t recounted the
miles marched, the rations given.
The British. most of them pris-
oners for four years in Silesia, say
they were kept alive and in fail
health by Red Gross packages. but
that since December none had beer
received by the British or Ameri-
cans, although the French anc
Yugoslavs got them regularly
This was due, the Germans tolo
the victims, to an arrangement,
which, if the story is true, deserve.
an investigation from Washington
Formerly all packages were distrib.
uted through Geneva. but lately
British and American packages have
come through Stockholm via Lu-
beck. The Germans say that more
than million packages were de-
stroyed by Allied bombings there.
The British are inclined to believe
the story since they say that one
good thing about the Germans has
been their meticulous package de-
livery in the past. But they insist
scores of lives of American boys
would have been saved If these
packages had arrived.
! 1 passed hours today at the
brick yard where sick men have
been living in indescribable filth
They were shot at the slightest in
fraction of rigid discipline. Once
guards used bayonets on the chow
line as starved men rushed to gulp
at soup troughs.
This was perhaps the worst
purely military horror of the war

Hog Support Price
Raised in Move 10
Boost Pork Supply

BY the Associated Press.
War Food Administrator Marvin
Jones moved today to increase the
supply OF pork for the spring and
summer of 1916 by raising the Gov
ernment hog support price
Coupled with the action was a re-
quest that farmers increase fall pro-
duction of pigs 18 per cent.
The support price was raised from
$3.50 to S13 per hundred pounds,
Chicago basis. effective today, for a
period ending September !, l946
The support program applies to
good and choice butcher hogs, all
weights up to 270 pounds.
This price support compares with
s1375 in effect through most of l943
and in 1914. The $3.50 rate was
established last October.
At the same time Price Admin
istrator Chester Bowles announced
that there would be no reduction be-
fore September l, 1916, in the cur
rent ceiling price of STATS, Chicago
basis, for butcher hogs and $l4 for
soWs.
Feed Supply Replenished.
Mr.. Jones asked farmers to pro-
duce full pig crop of 100000
head. After reaching a wartime
peak of 47,672, 900 head in the fall
of l943, pig production dropped to
81 1925 900 head last autumn.
A shortage of feed was a major
factor in this decline in production
Feed supplies since have been re-
plenished. The latest Agriculture
Department report shows stocks o1
corn on farms are at a near-recorc
level for this time of year.
The sharp drop in the size oil
the 1914 fall crop is being reflected
now in a greatly reduced supply

Patton Forces Capture
285 Members Of Nazi
Foreign Ministry
Ey the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
MUEHLHAUSEN, Germany, April
1.-THE war was over today for 285
members of the German foreign
ministry staff, whose hopes for a
haven outside bombed Berlin were
dashed by the swift advance of 1t.
Gen. George S. Patton's Sd Army
armored columns.
When the 9Th Armored Division
last Thursday rolled into this pic
turesque city. one of the oldest in
Thuringia, it found the foreign
ministry staff covering in apart
ments, Easements, garages and
homes of friends.
Foreign Minister Joachim Ribben-
trop and other top figures in his
department were not here. Appar-
entity they have fed elsewhere.
Two departments of the foreign
ministry were transferred to Muehl-
hausen about a month ago. The
officials captured here handled such
matters as salaries, exchange of ma

Several had spent many years in

The Foreign Ministry staff men,
bers were placed under house deten-
ton until they could be moved
They said Berlin was at least 75
per cent destroyed and most 6rvern-
ment buildings were gone. They be-
lieved that the SIS ELITE Guard
and Gestapo still maintained an
iron rule over citizens in the ruined
city.
Trembling as he spoke, one staff
member said: Most of us feel the
war is lost, but until now We did not
dare talk about it for fear of what
might happen to us"

Father Of Seven Loses
0ccupationaI Deferment

A 33-year- bus boy with seven
children was one of ID men who lost
their occupational deferments as a
result of District Board of Appeal
actions during the week ending
March "a. District Selective Service
announced today.
The regiStrant had been deferred
until August II. l945. by his local
board. The appeal board, reviewing
actions taken by local boards out of
Washington for men working here,
put him in Ia, but recommended a
three-month stay of induction.
The others who lost their defer
ments were all in the 1898 age
group-one of the groups where Dis
trict boards have been instructed to
tighten up on deferments.
Deferments were granted on ap-
peal to l8 men, but in six of the
cases the deferments were allowed
to run only to April l because the
men were under 30 and have to be
reconsidered to determine if they
were certified by Government
agency.

Less Canned Milk.
1t said prospective supplies Of eggs,
cereal products, fresh vegetables,
apples, citrus fruits, fresh and frozen
fish and fluid milk are large and
sufficient to permit their substitu-
ton for other scarce foods.
Those which will be particularly
short in many sections of the coun-
try, the report said, include meat,
poultry, butter, canned fish, canned
fruits, potatoes and rice. Somewhat
larger quantities of Cheddar cheese
will be available than last spring,
but supplies of evaporated milk are
expected to be smaller.
In another report on prospects for

The Dutch cities of Gronin-

dians, driving up the last 10 miles
toward the North Sea.
Mopping up Operation.
The actions of Gen. Eisenhower S
nine charging armies made it appear
that the battle had become mop
ping-up operation.
The center of the German front
was shattered, the north and south
flanks were laid open to annihilat-
ing attacks. The German plan OF
withdrawal to mountain redoubts in
South Germany was imperiled by
the swift drive across the waist OF
Germany toward the Russian lines
The Hartz Mountains of Central
Germany we're being by-passed
Every remaining city and factory in
Germany was threatened by armies
of the west, east and south moving
in for the final kill under American,
British, Canadian, Russian and
other Allied banners. The drive
from Italy in the Po Valley mem
aced the redoubt country from the
south.
Half of the Ruhr pocket was re-
duced and the survivors of the once
trapped force of up to 100000 Ger
mans were compressed into 1000
square-mile box As miles long and
about the same distance wide.
The German air force, too, was
gasping its last. The staggering
German Army was fighting its death
battle virtually blind, its Luftwafte
sealed to the ground by the loss OF
planes and frontline airports.
Clear skies today sent the whole
Allied flying arsenal out again at
dawn to keep up the slaughter.

Tax Experts Agree
.0n Quick Relief
After Nazis' Defeat

BY the Associated Press.
Congressional and Treasury tax
experts have agreed on ways to pro-
vide quick tax relief for business
after We day, but they do not in
clude immediate rate reductions.
The relief is proposed in elimi-
nation of uncertainties, speeding OF
refunds and increased exemptions
If Congress accepts the recon-
mendations, there will be no gen.
eral reductions in tax rates until
major fighting is over in the Pa
cofic. This applies to individuals as
we'll as corporations.
The combined staffs of technical
men-some on the Treasury pay
roll, some hired by Congress-have
been working together in new
| found harmony for nine months.
Outlines of Report Clear.
They made their We day rec
concentrations TO leading tax
minded Senators and Representa-
tives of both parties. The report
hasn't been made public, but has
been seen and discussed by various
members of Congress. Recent state
ments on Capitol Hill, when put
with other evidence, have made the
main outlines of the report increas-
ingly clear.
Here are some of the proposals
that are almost certainly in the
report:
!. Setting of a definite time for
abolition of the corporate excess
profits tax.
2. Paying about 100000 of
excess profits tax refunds in lump
sum on specified date instead of
on a gradual postwar schedule.
Credits on Tax Payments.
3. Paying additional excess profits
/ tax refund that is, for tax years
later than l943 by giving credits
on current tax payments instead OF
issuing bonds for future cashing.
4. Permitting corporations here
after to estimate losses in advance
and deduct their credits from cur
rent taxes, instead of waiting fol-
the loss to occur and then claiming
refund
S. Increasing the excess profits ta>
exemption from $4,000 to $250 ir
order to help small business.
