 Evacuotions Unconfirmed

London, Feb. A-UP) - The Paris radio broadcast an uncon- firmed report of doubtful authen- ticity today that the German army had evacuated Koenigsberg, capital of East Prussia.
 A Paris broadcast said the garri- son of beleaguered Koenigsberg had pulled out, leaving the population to their fate" Two days ago Mos COW said the Germans had opened a corridor through the Soviet siege lines to the Baltic Port of Pillau.
 The fall of Koenigsberg would mean the near completion of the Red Army campaign in East PrlS- sia, where it trapped an estimated 100000 German troops.
 The rOll of encircled Poznan, last enemy-held city in Poland, was ex- pected to speed a Soviet smash across the Oder river on 8 broad front toward the doomed Nazi cap- ital, 30-odd miles to the west.
 The reduction of Poznau not only released troops under A generals for the drive on Berlin, but cleared the Moscow w-WarsaW-Berlin trunk railway and highway as far as the Oder for the movement of rein forcements and supplies.
 The last organized German resist ance in Poznan, Poland's fourth largest city with pre-war popu- lation of 272,OOO, was smashed yes- terday after a month-long siege during which Marshal Gregory K. ZhukoV'S First White Russian army raced on no miles farther west toward Berlin.
 Some 25,000 Germans were killed and 23,000 captured during the pro- longed and bitter battle for Poznan Adolf Hitler ordered the city held at all cost, but Major General Mat tern, the Nazi commander, was the prisoners taken
 Zhukov's forces also cleared an- other encircled German city yes- terday, Arnswalde, 39 miles south west of the Baltic port of Stettin and junction of the Danzig- Berlin and Poznah-Stettin railways.
 Marshal Ivan s. Konev's First Ukrainian Army, meantime, broke into the streets of third encircled German city, the Silesian capital of Breslau, ITS miles southeast of Ber- lin. Twenty city blocks and num- per of tank and automobile factor les were captured.
 Five towns in the northern su.. ourbs of Breslau also were seized.

 BOTH S|DESON
 BLOODYIWOUP
BY FRANK TREMAINE

Guam, February 24.-(UP) = Weary Marines battled across the central airfield on Two with flame throwers, tanks and bayonets today. Complete control of the field appeared almost within their grasp.

While Amer ican losses have not been announc- ed beyond 5,372 casualties for the first 58 hours of the six-day battle the finding of another 717 Jap anese bodies jumped the number of enemy dead to at least 1889.
 GA Japanese broadcast claimed that American losses on Two were well over 17,000" up to Friday night. Eight more American war ships, including two battleships, have been sunk or damaged off the Island, Tokyo said.)

Mexico City. Feb. 24-(UP)-It appeared probable today that Brazil might establish diplomatic relations with Russia and receive a perma- nent seat on the World Security council.

Big Salary for Coach
Boosts Grid Outlook
By the Associated Press,


LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Mar. 23.-
University of Arkansas, which last
fall began a drive to climb out of
the Southwest Conference football
doldrums, now has the backing of
the State Legislature, the Governor
and the largest booster organiza-
ton in Razorback athletic annals.
Gov. Ben Laney has signed into
law a bill by the 1945 Legislature
authorizing the Board of Trustees
to boost the pay of the Razorbacks'
head coach to as much as $12,500
year. Such salary would be sec
ond in the Southwest only to the
$4,000 drawn annually by D. x.
Bible of Texas.
The Razorback Club, organized
last fall by fans and university Off
cials, has chapters in SO of Ar
kansas IS counties It's goal is to
provide funds to help in the search
for outstanding grid talent and to
encourage the States high school
stars to enroll at the Fayetteville
institution. Apparently it is sue
cess, for Head Coach Glen Rose
said Arkansas failed to get "only
one boy we really wanted last fall.
Rose. who took the double posi-
ton of head coach and athletic
director at $4,000 annually after he
received medical discharge from
the Army last spring. turned out a
1914 eleven which won half the
games on rugged 10rgame sched-
ule. That was Arkansas best rec
ord In over five years, and Roses
salary was raised to $4,000.
