MAIN OBJECTIVE
The Nazi designation of the i'm
mediate Soviet objective as Kustrin.
at the confluence of the Ocer and
Warthe, II miles northeast of
Frankfurt, suggested that Zhukov's
assault forces might have broken
through the outlying perimeter of
Berlin's defenses for a quick grab
at the river city which is the last
of any size before Berlin on the
trunk railway from Danzig.
Driesen and Neu Bentschen, the
outer limits of Zhukov's intensified
push as reported by Berlin, are AZ
miles apart and a few miles inside
Germany from the northwestern
and southwestern arcs of Poland's
westernmost bulge.
CROSS BORDER
The German reports indicated
that Zhukov's First White Russian
army had crossed the border in
great strength. and Moscow dis
patches said that after breaking
through the line of the Obra his
armor and mobile infantry were
rolling on toward Frankfurt.
I'm the Obra sector and north
of the Netze river at Driesen the
enemy attacked with strong forces
in the western direction" the Ger
man high command said. Heavy
fighting is in progress"
The thrust across the Cbra,
which winds rs to 100 miles east of
Berlin. carried the Soviets into the
capitals home province of Bran
denburg while the other Russian
columns were rolling unchecked
across Pomerania within 90 miles
northeast of the city.

Halleck said these impressions

Oakland Backs
Flood Control
Curb on Clinton

Oakland County and its mu-
inequalities which drain into the
Clinton river and contribute in
some measure to its perennial
floods, will appear at the u S.
Engineers flood control hearing
to be held in the Macomb Coun-
ty Friday June IS at 10 a. m,
Drain Commissioner William G.
Harper announced today.
Inasmuch as the Clinton Riv-
er is the outlet for the large Red
Run drain, which drains much
of Oakland County, Harper
said he felt justified in extend
ing the general invitation to
Oakland County officials to at
tend. Harper regards the river
flooding problem as-an- inter-
county one. and believes that
Oakland should join in any Ma
comb appeal for Federal aid,
and also share any cost involv-
ed.
At this weeks Mount Glenn
ems City Commission meeting
Mayor Albert A. Wagner ex-
pressed an invitation to all with
facts, photographs and measure
ments regarding flood damage
10 appear at the hearing next
Friday.
In his letter inviting Oakland
officials TO participate in the
hearing. Harper gave warning
to them that Macomb County
will continue to oppose their
most discussed project, the
deepening of Red Run drain.
His letter, in part, is as follows:
There is no doubt that any
improvement to Red Run will
be objected to by Macomb Coun-
ty authorities inasmuch as any
increased flow, whether in nor
NAL or flood times, is helping
create a situation which is be-
yond the control of Macomb
County, which is the outlet Of
the Clinton River.
1--WE have written to all par
ties who were damaged in the
recent floods of the past three
years, and we feel that should
Oakland County authorities step
in and assist, there is a much
better chance of the War De-
partment looking upon any i'm
provements to the Clinton River
more favorably, in this respect"

by Senate Seen
WASHINGTON, June 8 Up

WASHINGTON, June 8 Up
- Senators seemed in agree
ment today that the Breton
Woods financial plan will be
approved speedily despite scat
tered criticism.
Senator Capper (R-Kan) went
so far as to predict the Senate
would pass the multi
dollar world banking and cur
rency sterilization measure by
the same ratio as the House
which approved it yesterday,
345 to 10.
President Truman told his
News Conference he was i'm

Partisan character, adding that
Congress had demonstrated that
it is really for a peace treaty.
The Senate Banking Commit
tee will start hearings on the
monetary legislation next week.
Chairman Wagner (D-NY) call
ed the House action "a marve-
lous vote for marvellous cause"
and added that he does not an
ticipate "any trouble" either in
his committee or on the Senate
floor.
Majority Whip Hill of Ala
bama forecast adoption of the
plan before the projected July
recess, and Senate President
Mc-Keller (Tenn) added his
view that the Bill would 60 sail
ing through.
Senator Ball (R- Mimi con-
tended there would be a fight
but that the outcome isn't in
doubt.
The opposition apparently will
be spearheaded by Senator Taft
(R-Ohio), who told newsmen:
II find that few Senators
have studied this proposal. Ger

billions of the taxpayers money

The Breton Woods program
is considered by the administra-

foreign policy. Drawn by A
United Nations at Breton

The bank would have SO, 100,-

French Seek
Larger
in Germany

PARIS, June 8 - (P) - The
United States and Britain were
reported today to be attempting
to carve out a French zone of
occupation in Germany at the
expense of their own zones.
France was said by an author
itative informant to be pressing
for inclusion in her zone of Co.
logne, which now is in the Brit
ish area, and Frankfurt, which
is in the American and is the
site of Gen. Eisenhower's ad.
vance headquarters. Moreover,
the French would like the Salr
Basin, which originally was in
cluded in the American zone.
1t was reported an agreement
on these points might be reach
ed within a week or 10 days and
except for satisfying French de-
sires the problem of occupation
areas virtually has been settled.
However, Supreme headquar-
tiers has declined to comment on
the zone boundaries, preferring
to let announcement of the lines
of demarkation, when fixed.
come from Washington and
London.
Elsewhere, however, il was
reported that the lines would be
essentially the same as those in
dictated in maps published on
Wednesday in Moscow. in which
the Russian zone included the
eastern half of pfe-war Ger
many.
Informed sources said the
Western Allies had diminishing
hopes the Allied Control Coun-
Gil would prove to be the effic-
lent machinery originally ex-
pected because of Russia's ap-
parent dissemination to give her
representative, Marshal Gregory
X. Zhukov, powers to act on his
own.
