While the Americans pushed a.

after bitter fight.
And adding to mounting blows
throughout the southwest Pacific
theater, heavy bombers dumped $50
tens of bombs on the Toshien fac

which battled heavy flax, left the

George Buffers, eXempts fees on trucks

The other, senate measure Offered by
Senator Ben Hulsle cancels the weight

Eisenhower Ends
Friendly Air
Toward Germans

PARIS, May IA. tUP)-Een.
Dwight D. Eisenhower announced
Monday that drastic measures had
been set in motion to end any treat
ment Of high Nazi and German
officials as friendly enemies"
Eisenhower's statement followed
criticism by French and other COM
mentators of what they called the
preferential attitude adopted by
American army officers toward
Reichsmarshal Hermann Goering.
THE generous Americans invited
him to lunch" one Paris radio COM
mentator said. "One could think we
are back in the old ages when op-
posing leaders were bowling to each
other"
Eisenhower said his attention had
been called to press reports of in
stances of senior American officers
treating Nazis and German officials
a. friendly enemies"
ANY such instance has been in
direct violation of my express and
long standing orders" he said
Drastic measures have been set
in motion to assure termination of
these errors forthwith.
Moreover, any past instances of
this nature are by no means indica-
tive of the attitude of this army,
but are the results of faulty judg-
ment of the individuals concerned,
who will be personally acquainted
with expressions of my definite dis
approval
In the name of this great force
and in my own, regret these occur
