LONDON, March 27-The Third Ukrainian Army struck to the lower Rava River, which runs within 20 to 23 miles from the Aus ri a n border, and 60 to 65 miles from Vienna, German Command broad cast said.
 The German communlque did not disclose the point where the Soviet forces reached the Raba in north western Hungary, but the river flows into an arm of the Danube at Gyro, a stronghold guarding Bratislava Gap, the entrance to Vienna.
 The German communique also declared the Russians had scored rev breaches on the Berlin front near Kuestrin on the Oder, and said superior" Soviet forces were battling on the fringes of the Baltic ports of Danzig and Gdynia.
 Meanwhile, Russian forces far to the north seized 2l,000 trapped German prisoners along the East Prussian beaches, while storming Emaus, half -mile west of Danzig after capturing Heele Polonken, one mile west and northwest of the former Free City of Danzig.

David Lloyd George.
 Famous Siaiesrnan0s
 Britain, Passes Away

LONDON, March 27-David Lloyd George, 82, Britain's Prime Min ister and idol in the First World War, died last night following an illness of several weeks. He played subdued role in the second great conflict, but his eloquent voice, practical judgment and unflinching integrity helped to shape the Gov ernment's pattern.
 As the nations chief elder states man, he had the ear of the policy makers at 10 Downing Street, and he still was sufficiently vigorous and compelling to sway his audi onceS.
 If his voice had become that of a mentor rather than that of an active leader, it was because the crucial times called for the presence of younger men at the helm.
 His authoritative expressions in sariably carried weight where it counted, for notwithstanding the political rebuffs administered to him in the interval of peace, the country never quite lost that loyal picture of him as the dynamic leader of 25 years before.
 His uncompromising directness of purpose then, his insistence upon the absolute defeat of the central powers, invited comparison with Winston Churchill's embodiment of aroused Anglo-Saxon spirit after the tragic debacle of 1940.
 Fatherless In Infancy
 David Lloyd George was born January IT, 1863, at Manchester, England, where his father was an Unitarian schoolmaster. But Will liam George, the sire, was of old Welsh farming stock and while the son was yet an infant he moved his family back to Wales. His death shortly afterwards, left his widow virtually destitute. Her brother, Richard Lloyd, village shoemaker, took his sisters boy under his wing and from. his small earnings at the cobbler's bench, provided the young ster with something approximating an education.
 To the end of his days David Lloyd George held this hard work Ing, stern old uncle in the most af- fectionate re m emb brance. The Lloyd as an integral part of his surname was a lasting evidence of that gratitude.
 At the age of IA David Lloyd George began to study law in the office. of Portmadoc solicitor. A legal battle over the rights of Welsh non-conformists to be buried in the yards of established church parishes was his first major victory. It brought the youthful ad- vocate to the attention of leaders |of radicalism in northwest Wales.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON ct. Col. Robert S. Allen ncw on active
 service with the Army.S

WASHINGTON-Maj. Gen. Nor man T. Kirk, efficient Surgeon General of the Army whose Medi- cal Corps has done such a miracu- lous job of saving the wounded, has just come back from the Pa oific Theatre, boiling mad.
 Gen. Kirk was on an inspection trip of hospitals and Army medical units to make sure they were on their toes, talk with personnel, see what else they needed to give the wounded the best possible treat ment.
 But when he arrived at Leyte in the southern Philippines Gen. Macarthur refused to permit Gen. Kirk to come to Manila.
 The Army's most important medical work by that time had passed from Leyte and the south to Manila. But despite that fact, Macarthur flatly refused to let the Army's highest ranking doctor and chief of the Medical Corps inspect the hospitals in Manila or set foot there.
 MacArthur took this flat stand despite the fact that his own wife and son were in Manila, so obvi- ously it could not have been con- s,dered too dangerous.
 Furthermore. Ger M a cArthur has refused to permit Brig. Gen. Guy B. Denit, the commanding of ficer of the Medical Corps in the Pacific, to remain in Manila. Mac

WASHINGTON l STARTLED BY PEACE RUM0R
Cabinet Officers Asked t0l Stay al Posts : No
 San Francisco

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 27 The White House discloses that President Roosevelt wants his cabi- net officers and American diplo- mats to stick to their jobs during the San Francisco Conference next month has started torrent of rumors about immediate victory in Europe
 So far as the White House is concerned, these lines of conver- sation are only rumors.
 The rumor wave began when Jonathan Daniels, Presidential press secretary was asked whether or not he looked for a very large out pouring from Washington to the World Security Conference begin- ming April 25.
 Daniels replied: NO Very defi- nitely, we don't. The President has sent a message to the Secretary of State and members of his cabinet rointing out the importance of all chiefs remaining at their post dur ing this critical time
 When on the basis of Daniels remarks the rumors of an imme- ciate peace began to circulate, the White House was 'deluged with phone calls and Daniels office was kept busy explaining that the pri- mary purpose of the Presidential request was to reduce the load on transportation and hotels by keep ing diplomats at their posts in- stead of visiting San Francisco.

stood for parliament as representa- tive of Carnarvon Boroughs. He was elected by Is votes and for more than 40 years remained the member for the same constituency By the winter of 1918, however, the majority had grown to 12,898, and even in 1929, when liberalism was a GWindling cause, he polled nearly l7000 votes out of 28,000.
 In the house of commons the new member for Carnarvon displayed his audacity by coming into direct con- flict with the most formidable figure of the 1890 assembly Joseph Chamberlain then dominated par lament and joust with this bril- liant, scornful debater was some thing which even the most inveter- ate of his political enemies did not seek
 But Lloyd George cared little for Chamberlain's grating voice and flashing glance. He gave as good as be got and the duels between the veteran and the recruit made par liamentary history.
 Violently Pro-Soer
 That was at the time of the Boer War, and the circumstances tested the youthful Welshman's mettle. Violently pro-Boer, his attitude and the innumerable speeches in which he gave expressions to it, drew on him the loathing of the public. More than once he was in danger of physical violence. and he was only saved from the fury of mob at Birmingham in 1900 by hastily borrowing a policeman's uniform and being smuggled out of the back door of hall in whic hhe had been speaking

 PARIS, March 27--The United States Seventh Army hurdled the Rhine yesterday as six other Allied Armies paced by 22 mile break through of the American First Army toward Berlin through lerr;nnsl'pg Grmap-,ss3 .aa ss ..
 tGerman adyices from Madrid said the big push was the greatest ill size and intensity ever mounted by the European Allies and de- clared the British and American Armies are using new arms and Jactics.)
 American tanks burst into the open plains of middle Germany. less than 240 miles from Berlin, through enemy lines which Gen. Eisenhower declared broken in 8 massive defeat.
 Swift armor of both the First and Third Armies raced across the Reich unchecked, because, as Gen. Eisenhower said, the enemy has in- sufficient strength at hand with which to make stand.
 Sweep Toward Berlin
 Hours ago, First Army tanks ls.nced into Weilburg. 240 miles southwest of Berlin A dispatch filed later but shrouded by censor blackout, said the victory flushed army made spectacular new gains, and continued to sweep toward Berlin against opposition which has fallen apart.
 The enemy retreat became a rout as thousands of German captiyes streamed to the rear.
 Enemy reports said Third Army columns approaching Wuerzburg in Bavaria, 223 miles from Berlin. reached Lohr, 225 miles from Berlin. Wuerzburg and Lohr are both barely 200 miles from Czecho- slovakia, long since being rolled up by mighty Russian armies charg- ing in from the east.
 Slugging Out Gains
 In the north section of the Ruhr, the Twenty-first Army group is slugging out gains against .collaps- ing German resistance in a prelude to what may become decisive rreakthrough campaign.
 Ninth Army troops fought in the suburbs of Duisburg within ar- tillery range of such Ruhr indus trial cities as Essen. Dusseldorf. Gelsenkirchen. Mulheim and Ober- hauSen.
 In Heart Of Germany
 Several miles were gained in the center and south of the north front. in the First Army's dash far past the rugged Rhineland hills into open. sparsely wooded farm coun- try in the heart of Germany, which outflanked the whole Ruhr Valley from the south.
 The U. s. Seventh Army fighting south of the Third Army, was dis closed to have forged a nineteen mile long bridgehead north of out fianked Mannheim, and driven four miles into inner Germany in the first few hours. Seventh Army prisoners in the last twelve days totaled 35.000.

 Chaos is apparent in the German retreat in some sectors, even in the enemy's radio cries. The Berlin radio told officials of the cutoff troops to report immediately to

Siinneff Hears EDR
 Is Out in '48;; Will Not Be Candidate
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, March 27-Some close friends of the President and many political observers here are the President has served notice that no matter what happens in world affairs, he will not be a candidate for the presidency in l948.
 They conclude this from recent change of policy which has been noted, but so far as I know never When President Roose- welt recently appeared before Con- eress to give that hour-long explan- ation of the Big Three conference at Yalta, he referred publicly, for the first time with one exception) to his physical incapacity.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-03-27

For more than lZ years, FTanklln Delano Roosevelt has been more of ten photographed, and more often heard on radio and in the newsreels than any other man in the world.
 As far back as 1892, his physical condition was used by opponents as 8 political argument. The President himself never referred to it. It wasn't any secret, but there the sub- iect ended No one who could read or hear was unaware that the President had been paralized in the lower part of his legs by infantile paralysis. But you never would have known it from anything the Pres ident said or any appearance he made before cameras CT newsreels.
 I have discussed the reasons for thls with a score of persons who have been personally or politically associated with the President. In- variably their answers are: CD That IFD.R. long ago determined that he would not permit his infirmity to be used as a political asset to gain votes through sympathy. t2) That the confidence of the people who locked to him for leadership should not be shaken by the false impress sion that their leader was an in- valid.
 For more than l2 years, without any specific taboos, there has been an understanding that no stories or pictures would be circulated playing on MT. Roosevelt's infirmity.
 Why then, suddenly, has he ap- proved the release of such stories as that from the Mediterranean when he gave Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia a wheel chair like his own? Why has he so far dropped the veil as to apologize in what may have been his most widely circulated public address before Congress the other day for remaining seated and ex- plaining that it was easier, because to stand, he had to carry ten pounds of painful steel braces on the lower part of his legs?
 The answer, say friends and poli- tical associates, is that the Presi- dent is through with running for office and even with any further personal participation in politics
