The U. S. Seventh army drew
abreast of the First and Third
eloups farther south with a power
ful armored surge that carried al
most 40 miles east of the Rhine at
a point about 25 miles southeast OF
Frankfurt.
The Yanks in that sector broke
across the main river on a 2l-mile
front between Niedernberg and
Schweinheim and advanced three
miles farther to LiederSbach.
Heayily-censored field dispatches
made it clear that the German
front had broken wide open along
winding 2C0-mile battle line ex-
tending perhaps 100 road miles be-
yond the Rhine on the American
First and Third army sectors.
TANKS OUT IN FRONT
Hundreds of Allied tanks were out
in front of the advancing infantry
men and plunging eastward through
gaping breaches in the enemy lines
on the main invasion roads to Ber-
I'm. The German retreat had brok-
en- into a rout everywhere except in
the heavily built-up Ruhr basin, and
il was becoming questionable wheth-
er they could reform for another
stand short of their capital.
1t. Gen. Courtney H. Hodges U.
S. First army advanced as much as
% miles along a 15-mile front north
and east of captured GieSsen, 33
miles north of Frankfurt.
The Americans drove 16 miles
north of Giessen along the Lain
river to capture the highway CEN
ter Of Marburg, and wheeled 6la
miles eastward to take Amoenburg.
There they were 204 miles south
west of Berlin and advancing al
most without opposition TO the
northeast.
The fall of Giessen gave the
Americans one of the main German
supply depots of the central front,
but there was no immediate indi-
cation as to how much enemy equip
ment was captured.

priation will be considered. How
ever, the ways and means commit
tee seldom overrules unfavorable ac-
ton by other committees.
The senate social welfare COM
mittee rejected bill by Senator
John Shelley, CD, San Francisco,
to include under the unemployment
insurance act employees of firms hir-
ing less than four workers. The
committee still must deal with a
similar assembly bill passed Tues
day.
Shelley told the committee his
zone or more" covering act would
give unemployment insurance pro-
lection to an additional 250,00O per-
sens.
OTHER MEASURES
The committee also declined to
recommend bill establishing local
unemployment insurance appeal
tribunals. 1t approved several other
unemployment measures also spon-
sored by Shelley, including one to
exempt minors under ID years CT
age from unemployment coverage.
The assembly education commit
tee continued for a week considera-
ton of bills reorganizing methods
of financing elementary schools
One bill would install an equaliza-
ton fund distributing a $14 increase
in funds based on average daily
attendance in inverse ratio to as
sessed valuations, thus benefitting
poor districts.
Two San Francisco school Off
Gals appeared before the commit
tee to oppose the equalization bills.

five miles from the big island that

Then the flight leader took charge.
He is Lieut.. John Fecke. of DuXbury,
Mass. He is also an ace, and an old

seven Jap planes.
Fecke took the remaining four

They found one about 30 miles off

They talked to him on the radio,
told him the circumstances, and he
sent word he was willing to try. But
he asked them to stay with him and
give air support.
So Lieut.. Feeke ordered the other
four to stay and circle above the

Despite their losses. the Germans
still have possibly 1,250000 troops
in the west, of which 250,000 are
in combat units.
They are a whipped army, as Gen.
Dwight D. Els enhower said. Their
morale is a far cly from what it
was a year ago or even last De-
cember.
But they still are killing Ameri-
can, British and Canadians-and
they will continue to kill them for
many weeks to come.
Adolf Hitler is still very much in
the saddle, with dreaded Gestapo
Chief Heinrich Himmler beside
him, according to the hest opinion
here. A captured German psyche-
logical warfare officer told me at
the front recently that Hitler has
ruled unchallenged since the purge
following the attempt cn his life
last July
This officer also maintained that
the Germans never would use gas.
Hitler, who suffered from gas in
the last war, would not permit its
use, he said.
TRANSPORT LACKING
The Germans' worst problem is
transportation. Largely because Of
Allied air raids, German railways
a,e broken and sunusable. Gasoline
shortage hampers use of motor ve-
hicles.
What is the pattern for crushing
Germany?
The best image in the clouded
crystal ball at this moment caems to
be the systematic destruction of the
remaining German resistance-the
gradual hammering of the diehard
thugs and Nazi cutthroatS into the
southern Alpine redoubt and then
turning loose upon them the con-
concentrated power of the Allied air
forces.
