ater-attack against ZhukovS Berlin bound forces.
 The Germans said a similar oper- ation was under way in the north where ZhukoV'S northern wing was driving toward the Baltic port of Stettin, at the mouth of the Oder.
 Berlin said the Russians were checked before Stargard, 20 miles east-southeaSt of Stettin. and at PyritZ, g miles southeast of the port in heavy fighting. The fall Stettin would seal off tens of thousands of Germans in Pomerania to be mop ped up later by Zhukov's supporting divisions.
 Far behind the Russian vanguards General Ivan D. Chernyakhovsky's Third White Russian army was tightening its death grip on the mar rowing pocket of East Prussia still held byq the Germans. The provin- cial capital of Konigsberg was being levelled block by block under the plunging fire of Russia nsiege guns massed all around the city, and the communique said Chernyakhovsky' s troops cleared the Samland Penin- sula to the northwest yesterday after wiping out an entire German regiment and destroying or captur- ing 84 enemy tanks and self-propel- led guns.

general achieved something for which he worked increasingly for three years, during which he spared neither himself nor his troops. He won victory after victory with sur prisingly small casualties.
 Intimates report that Macarthur at 65--one year past the regular re- tirement age-physically is 10 years younger. They say he believes he has shown he knows how to fight the Japanese and is eager to go on helping toward that end.
 Thus his statement means that he is leaving it to his commander in chief and the American people to make whatever use of him and his men henceforth that they may de- sire. He is ready to do whatever may be asked of him.
 His Southwest Pacific command covered Australia, the Solomons, the Dutch East Indies and the Philip pines. Any further progress north ward or eastward would bring him into territory included in Admiral Chester w. Nimitz's supreme Pacific command.

 General MacArthur's Headquar- ters, Luzon, Feb. 6 - (U.P0 - Gen. eral Douglas MacArthur made his bid today for a major role ill the final defeat of Japan.
 In formal statement comment ing on the fall of Manila, MacAr- thur made it clear that he considers his job in the Southwest Pacific done and is ready for another as Signment focused on Tokyo.
 With Australia safe, the Philip pines liberated and the ultimate re- demption of the East Indies and Malaya thereby made a certainty" he said, "our motto becomes On To Tokyo
 we are ready in this veteran and proven command when called upon. May God speed the day"
 MacArthur's brief statement was seen here as an answer to sugges- tions from other Sources-notably speculative stories from Pacific Fleet headquarters at Pearl Harbor-that his command would be through after the Philippines were liberated.
 The statement indicates strongly that Macarthur believes the bril- liant record of his command entities 1t to major participation in further moves toward the final goal, Japan itself.

Germany Hit
 Hard Aqoin

Lcndon, Feb. 6.-UP)-More than 2,10O Eighth Air Force bombers and fighters attacked industrial com munication targets in central Ger many today following a night raid by RAF Mosquito bombers on refu- gee-packed Berlin.
 The American aerial fleet, com prising about 1900 Liberators and Flying Fortresses and $50 Mustangs and Thunderbolts, concentrated principally on the Magdeburg, Leip- zig and Chemnitz areas in the heart of Germany.
 The RAF night raiders struck while f1remen still were battling to quench the last of the fires kin dled by 1000 American planes In a devastating daylight raid on the German capital Saturday.
 A traveller who arrived in Malnlo. Sweden, from Berlin yesterday said the American bombers scored a di- rect hit on Adolf Hitler'S ReichS- chancellory and demolished what remained from previous raids of the air ministry and war office.
 He said the death toll was un- usually high because public shelters proved inadequate for the refugee sWelled city, with estimates rang ing as high as 10000 persons. Most of the dead were refugees clustered around railway stations and shel- terS, he said.
 He reported that the Berlin police had cordoned of blocks in which government of1lces were situated.
 A two-hour procession of Flying FortreSSes, LiberatorS and fighters streamed over the east coast toward the continent soon after dawn.
 The German radio reported num- erous Allied air formations over western Germany, and said some were heading toward northwestern Germany.

ranking naval oflcer unacceptable he would call a special election for June 19.
 "The issue" he said, "is now squareyl up to the senate" where Democrats are in the majority and where a house-aproved direct ap- pointment bill come up today for consideration.
 Democrats have insisted for sev- eral weeks that they would not pass such a bill unless the governor dis closed in advance whom he would apoint, and stipulated thta the ap- pointee must be Democrat. The governor equally was insistent that he would have to be free to name a man whom he regarded as above partisan politics and who would best serve the interests of the nation and state.
 Admiral Hart, who is 67 and com- manded the Asiatic fleet at the outbreak of the war with Japan. has no known political party affiliations. At present he is serving on the Navy general board at Washington. He is a native of Davidson, Mich, and maintains legal residence at Shron where his wife and five chill dren reside.
 Gov. Baldwin described Admiral Hart as a great citizen of the state" who would be "a distin- guished representative of our state in the United States senaet."
 The governor accused Democrats of making a major issue of the appointment bill to serve their own political ends and declared "this is a time of war when we should leave our partisanship at home and con- slider what is best for all of us, not as Republicans or Democrats, but as Americans. We all want to see that those entrusted with the bus mess of government would be moved by high motives of patriotism and the common welfare and not by a desire to secure political advantage or political jobs."
 Gov. Baldwin frequently referred to the Democratic leader in the senate, Leo Ris Cassi of Hartford as responsible for the blockade measure thrown up against the ap- pointment bill, and with other tac- tics which, he said, 'held up busi- ness of the state" from the begin- ming of the session five weeks ago.

 The Siegfried breakthrough ap- parently was made in the Brand- scheid area and east of Buchet. where the enemy's fixed defenses were believed to be thinnest because of the rugged terrain. Newly con- structed pillboxes and tank traps were expected to hamper the Amer ican advance behind the west wall, however.
 On the First Army front, units of the American 78th Division were flaming out aolng the west bank of the Roer river immediately north of captured Ruhrberg. On their right flank, the Ninth Infantry seized the rtalSperre dam intact and was clos ing in rapidly on the huge Schwam- menuel dam, the main dam control ling the level of the Roer to the north.
 American control of the Roer dams would facilitate an offensive across the lower reaches of the River on the U. s. Ninth and British Second Army fronts above Aachen, which German sources said was im- minent.
 Staunch and Steckenborn on the northern wing of the First Army front were taken by the 78th h. fantry late yesterday, while the Ninth worked in south of the SchWammenuel Dam against brisk artillery and small arms fire tC within a few hundred yards of the Olef river. Unconfirmed reports said the east bank of the Olea1 marked the eastern limit of the double Siegfried val lp that sec tor.
 A few miles farther south, the Second Infantry Division closed ir slowly on the twin highway centerS of Gemund and Schleiden, advanc- ing almost to the outskirts of both towns. Allied reconnaissance re- ports indicated the Germans were moving troops into scores of previ- ously abandoned pilIboxes covering Gemund and Schleiden, suggesting they intended to make a real fight there.
 In ALsace. the once-formidable German pocket around Colmar was cut in two by converging French and American forces and the Nazis appeared to be devoting their main effort to holding open a slim es- cape corridor through Neuf- -Brisach eight miles southeast of Colmar.

 The Americans also broke into Vogelsheim, a mile southeast oi Neuf- -Brisach, where they cut the main rail and highway lines lead ing to the Rhine bridges two miles east of Neuf- -Brisach. Some Ger man troops still were getting through to the Rhine across secondary roads.

 Soviet flying columns stabbed out across the Brandenburg plain to the northwest and southwest to reach considerably closer to the be- leaguered capital. but later were forced bac kto the bridgeheadS, Ger man accounts said.
 A third bridgehead in the Tirpitz area five miles north of Frankfurt was wiped out by counter-attacking German forces, according to the Berlin version, while fourth at- tempt to cross the river near Kust- rim failed when the attacking Rus sian tanks broke through the thin ice and sank.
 Moscow remained silent on the German reports as well as on an- other enemy announcement that Red Army forces had launched pow erful supporting offensives against the upper and lower reaches of the Oder in a double -barrelled attempt to roll up the Hanks of the Berlin line.
 The Soviet early morning com munique reported only that Marshal Gregory K. Zhukov's First White Russian Army was maintaining ter rife pressure against the heart of the German defenSes at Frankfurt and Kustrin, '34 miles southeast and 38 miles east of Berlin.
 Both fortress cities were under direct assault by Russian tank and infantry divisions and Berlin admit ted the Soviets had broken into the German lines at KuStrln.
 More than 5000 Germans were killed and another 1 300 captured in the -Kustrin area yester- day in a series of pitched battles that won 100 more NaA towns and villages for the advancing Russians. Kustrin. lying on the east bank of the Oder, was all but isolated by the capture of Zellin and Alschaum- burg, IA and three miles to the northwest, and Gortiz, six miles to the south. Five miles south of Cor itz and the same distance north of Frankfurt, the Russians took Tir- pitz, while another assault column drove up to the Oder at Reipzig, four miles below Frankfurt.
 Rampitz, Schonfeld. Guntersburg and Radnitz, all lying east of the Oder on an arc IT to 8 miles south- east of Frankfurt, also were cap- tured in a supporting attack aimed squarely at the CrosSen bridges.

Konev's First Ukrainian Army in Silesia had swung over to the offensive below Breslau. linking up two bridge heads on the west bank of the Oder into a sold 11-mile front between Ohlau and Brieg and advancing Il miles southwest of Grottkau.

 With the three German armies that launched the great counter offensive on December 16 now driven back behind their starting line, eX- cept for their dead and prisoners. Allied headquarters issued it's first detailed report on the battle and the scope of the German plan.
 For the offensive, the Germans called on their only strategic re- serves, the Sixth SS Panzer Army, plus the Fifth SS PanZer Army and the Seventh Army, numbering 24 divisions, or about 23O.00O men.
 The drive was launched against the thinnest part of the Allied front and headquarters said Adolf Hitler planned to carry the line of the Mouse river in two days and Ant werp in three weeks, hoping to cut off 38 Allied divisions in the process.
 Striking under cover of bad wea- ther. the Nazis won an initial breakthrough and were on their way to a great triumph when the 101st airborn division Stemmbed the tide at BaStognc and held on to that key position until Lieutenant General | George s.

 cd joint war on Japan as long as necessary to obtain her "uncondi- tional surrender
 From Cairo, where they met with Chiang, President Roosevelt and Chuchilll sped to Tehran to confer with Premier Josef V. Stalin. Since the Soviet Union is not at war with Japan, it was not feasible for Stalin to sit in on the Cairo conference.
 The Roosevelt Churchill -Stalin conference at Teheran produced a communique of fundamental impor- tance to the immediate and future relationships of the three states. But it was phrased in deliberately general terms for the future in con- traSt with the Cairo communique's specific discussion of some of the unpleasant things Japan might anticipate.
 There was no mention in the Roosevelt t-Churchill- commit nique of unconditional surrender of Germany. The unconditional surrender stipulation was an after thought to the January, 1943, con- ference between MT. Roosevelt and Churchill. They met newsmen at Casablanca after the conference ended and MT. Roosevelt said the United Nations objective was "un- conditional surrender of the Axis enemies. Churchill accepted the stipulation at once
 Stalin has never formally accepted unconditional surrender" State- ments of Russian policy more often have emphasized annihilation o1 Hitlerite Germany or destruction oi German military might, but with some pre-surrender assurances tC non-Nazi Germans.
 The communique from the current big three conference will be Scrutin- ized here and abroad for any ref erence to unconditional surrender It will be examined, also, for any specific l anguage such as that which came in 1943 from the Cairo conference with Chiang.
 All of the big three conferees have promised in one way or another that Germany will get what is con- ing to her. But on the only oc- casion when they made joint state ment, their language was so gen. eral that any specific postwar in- tention swere wholly obscured.
 The Teheran communique showed Roosevelt Churchill-Stalin agree ment on time and place of tht Anglo-American invasion of west ern Europe. It expressed confi- dence that Germany would bt licked badly. It promised an en- during peace and recognized United Nations responsibility to make g peace which would appeal to the worlds masses.
 But as for the multitude of other specific postwar problems. tnclud- ing what Germany might antici. pate as a loser, the communiqut avoided anything specific. Here 1: what It said:
 With our diplomatic advisers we have surveyed the problems of the future. We shall seek the coopera- tion and active participation of all nations, large and small, whose peo- pleS in heart and mind are dedi- cated, as ar eour own peoples, tC the elimination of tyranny and slavery, oppression and intolerance We will welcome them, as they may choose to come, into world family oF democrafic uafions0
