NAZIS WELL SUPPLIED

The main German force locked
in the Chancellery and a cluster
of adjoining streets to the east
appeared to be well supplied with
arms and ammunition, tanks and
self-propelled guns that made the
Russian onslaught a slow anc
costly slugging match.
Moscow dispatches said crack
Nazi elite guards had been joined
In their death stand by Volksturn
units and even fanatical womer
volunteers who sailed out to meet
the Russians with tommy guns
and grenades.
The Russians cleared the Berlin
city hall, broke into the court
yard of the former royal palace
and the Freidrichstrasse. and
plunged down through the Brand
Ienburg gate onto the tree lined
Inter den Linden, just north OF
the ChancelleTy.

The Hamburg radio reported
that the Reds had broken into the
Wilhelmstrasse in Berlin.
The trapped Germans -appar-
emily told by their leaders that
Hitler had fallen at his command
post in the Chancellery, showed
no signs of quitting.
But Moscow dispatches and
somber enemy broadcasts made il
clear that the Battle of Berlin
was roaring into its final hours.
Soviet front reporters tele-
phoned word back TO Moscow that
the last enemy defenses in the

Fo||in Urges Changes
In Building Code 10
Cut Cost Of Homes

One means of reducing residential
construction costs is to modernize
building codes to encourage use of
new materials and techniques which
have been developed, James w.
Follin, managing director of the
Producers Council, said yesterday.
"The entire construction industry
Is committed to the belief that
building costs must be reduced" he
said.
Particularly in the case of homes,
IA moderate reduction in constr,,c-
ton costs could make a rather large
difference in the demand, 1cr cost
is the only factor which keeps many
millions of families from acquiring
a home Of their own" he continued.
Scores of new developments have
arisen from wartime experience, and
there are others that were all ready
for the market when war broke out.
There is rather general fear that
the introduction of these new de-
velopments may be slowed up and
that the public may be deprived of
many money-saving improvements
unless building codes are carefully
reviewed and unless the codes are

State Imports
Are OuercrOcded.
Surrey Reveals

The result Of a survey recently
conducted by representative of the
Michigan Department of Aeronau-
tics indicates that every airport in
the State OF Michigan is over
crowded.
In reviewing the conditions re-
vealed by this survey, Thomas
E. Walsh. chairman of the Michigan
AeronauticS Commission stated that
these circumstances are definitely
not conducive to increased flying
activity. Mr.. Walsh continued by
stating that only through the en-
largement of existing facilities and
the construction of many new air
ports, can aviation thrive in Mich
igan. He stated that presently
Michigan has less than two and
one-half airports per thousand
square miles, and this number will
necessarily have to be doubled with
IN the next few years to accommo-
date the ever increasing number
OF aircraft being registered with
the Michigan Department of Aero
nauticS.
The inconvenient accessibility to
airports shall undoubtedly prove to
be major deterrent in the devel-
cpment of the aircraft industry in
Michigan.
Mr.. Walsh closed his comments
by stating that there is no other
reason, geographical or climatical,
why Michigan cannot lead the en-
tire nation in deriving these eco
nomic advantages, which are COIN
cident to this new industry.
