 The settlement closely approxi- mated the compromise proposal made by Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins on Harch %. u was believed the terms would speed an agreement between the UNIV and Anthracite operators who are now engaged in negotiations in New York city. Announcement that the parties had reached agreement was made by Chairman Ezra Van Horn of the joint wage conference on the 41st day of negotiations. Lewis declined comment.
 Fuel Administrator Harold L. Ickes was directed to operate the 235 mines seized by the government. Ickes appointed the mine owners as ican flag mat-ybmbV-
 federal managers, ordered the American flag run up over the pits and the miners to report for work tomorrow morning.
 In the seizure order, President Roosevelt gave IckeS authority to take over any and all soft coal mines to maintain production. It could ap. ply to every coal pit in the nation some 1000. It was interpreted a blanket authority for Ickes to d, whatever he believes necessary fol an indefinite period to keep produc- tion going.

 This claim will be studied when the contract goes before the war labor board, office of price admins tration and stabilization director William H. Davis. The government agencies hope to complete their task before the extension of the old con- tract comes to an end on April 30.
 Some sources doubted that the WLB would approve the new agree ment without modification of some of it's provisions. Such action was expected to precipitate new battle between the board and Lewis, who two years ago refused to alai6e by VILE orders.
 An operator source said the new agreement was to run for one year contracts previously have run two years-and thereafter could be re- opened on 20 days notice. He said 1t also included these provisions:
 Premium pay for four cents an hour for the first shift work and six cents an hour for second shift. No differentialS are now paid.
 A vacation payment of $75 an- nually to all miners. The present payment is $50.
 A seven-hour day at $1 an hour with time and one-half pay for the eighth hour of work and $50 more for the ninth, which is computed as underground travel time. The pres ent WLB-ordered agreement pro- vides pay for an estimated 45 min- utes travel time at two-thirds the rate and overtime premium pay only after 70 hours have been worked in the week.
 An increase from $7.S0 to $9 for a seven-horr day for electricians and mechanics in the Appalachian area.
 A SLOT daily increase for outside day men. Pay raises for drillers. shot-firers and loaders in riechani- cal mining units to within $l of the top rate for unit operators.
 Retention of the present clause defining which employees are covered by the contract. Lewis had demand ed that 60.000 supervisory employees be covered by the agreement.

The landing at Coron Bay on Busuanga was made without oppo- sition and a supply ship imme- diately began unloading medical supplies and food-the first the colony had received in three years
 With the liScration of the col ony, it was disclosed that a Cata- lima flying boat rescued two Amer ican women doctors and their fam lilies from the island on Feb. 10 They were Mrs. H. w. Wade and Mrs. John H. Hanks, and the lat ter's three children, James II, John 3, and Juliette, Is months. Their addresses in the United States were not available.
 The doctors revealed that the colony had about $500 lepers be- fore the war, but 2,O00 of them were unable to stand Japanese treatment and either died of malnutrition or tried to escape. They said the Jap anese had confiscated nearly all the colony's medical supplies.
 On Luzon, the Japanese forces were cut into small isolated pockets in the southern hills by the Amer ican drive to tthe east coast. While organized resistance was broken, the enemy stragglers banded to- gether for suicide banzai charges rather than surrender.
 At Malaraya Hill South of Laguna Bay, 8 large group of fanatical enemy troops plunged headlong into strong American positions for two hours around dawn. The screaming Japanese attacked so fiercely, the Americans turned heavy artillery guns against them and left the field filtered with scores of enemy bodies.
 The invasion of Jolo in the Sulu archipelago gave the Americans control of the three main islands in the group and left only a scatter ing of islets in Japanese. The other two islands were Basilan in the north across Basilan strait from Zamboanga, and Tawi Tawi in the south, just off the northeastern tip of Boreno.
 Does battle seasoned forces made the first landing on Jolo Monday morning at a point four and a half miles north of Jolo City. Several hours later other units landed di- rectly into the capital city, which had pre-war population of 5000
 The islands defenses had been severely pounded for two weeks by 18th air force bombers and the landings were made against only negligible opposition.
 While the Japanese defenders scattered into the hills, the Amer jeans seized Zettel airfield, with its 4,OO0 foot grass runway, and pushed eight miles inland.
 American bombers continued the naturalization attacks on FormoSa dropping many tons of bombs on the islands airf1elds while fighters strafed the rail network. Three more Japanese cargo vessels were sunk Or damaged in the aerial blockade of China Sea shipping.

up the liquidation of the Ruhr trap, still holding possibly 10000 Ger mans, and release powerful Ameri- can forces to join the march toward Berlin and link-up with the Red Army.
 American Ninth Army troops on the northern wing raced five miles beyond Brunswick to within 90 miles of the dying Nazi capital. The First Army was IA miles from Berlin and the Third Army 126 to 130 miles away, on the basis of front reports tagging hours behind the speeding American tanks.
 The First Army at last reports was 149 miles due west of Russian troops on the Niesse river, and about 50 miles from the Elbe.
 A dispatch from United Press War Correspondent John McDermott re- ported, however, that leaders of the First Army tank forces expected to be far beyond the Elbe and linked up with the west-bound Russians before Saturday.
 German resistance before the Elbe was shattered completely and noth- ing but undefended road blocks lay in the path of the charging First Army.
 Nazis Disorganized
 McDermott reported that the juncture with the Red Army might be effected before nightfall tomor- row if the Germans failed to rally their disorganized forces for de- laying defensive fight on the Elbe.
 The link-up would split Germany in two, seal the fate of Berlin and probably end all organized enemy resistance except perhaps in the islands of resistance" in the Bav- arian redoubt,' along the north Sea Coast and in the Ruhr.
 The Elbe river fortress of Magde- burg was only 50 miles beyond the Ninth Army's advanced columns, which went five miles past Bruns- wick for the closest approach to Berlin.
 Crowding close on the Ninth Army in the race for Berlin, the First Arny's tanks were only 1l4 miles southwest of Berlin, 54 miles from Magdeburg, and 58 miles from the central German communica- tions pivot of Leipzig.
 On the southern flank, the Third Army, now third in the Berlin "steeplechase" was 130 miles south- west of the capital and IA miles from Dresden.
 All three armies were rampaging through the rear areas of the Ger man East front divisions, with First Army forces at Auleben only 149 miles from the Red Army on the Niesse river at Forst.
 American flyers who criss-crossed above the Berlin rooftops yesterday in day of record aerial slaughter that saw almost 400 German planes destroyed aground and aloft report ed that the capital itself appeared to be dead city. There was no sign of life in the streets below and the once terrible fax barrage was silent,
 London dispatches said the great Allied surge was reported finally to have resulted in Hitler's overthrow, with the fanatical Heinrich Himm- Ter said to have succeeded him.

 Neutral legations and embassies notified their home governments they have moved to the Alps south and southeast of Munich, sign that most German government de- partments also had been evcuated to that last-ditch defense area.
 Berlin's population in 1889 was A. 332,242.
 An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Zurich said the NaN party had issued a confidential order to all gauleiters to prevent disorgan- ized mass flights of civilians from territories which the Allies were approaching.
 A Stockholm dispatch said that Nazi Propaganda Minister Paul Jos- eph Goebbels was trying to whip up hate with a flood of atrocity stories. Posters were being put up on walls proclaiming, Hate is our duty, revenge our virtue"

Dec. 31 the Foreign Economic Administration had allocated to UNRRA $161, ,165, 1885 from the $8OO,- 100000 approved by Congress for U. s. participation.
 President Roosevelt said in a letter transmitting his report that UNRRA has shipped some sup- plies" to the liberated countries notwithstanding the exigencies of war"
 "As rapidly as circumstances permit" he said, "UNRRA is fur nishing emergency and essential aid to the heroic people who fought the Nazis before the invasion of their lands. who fought them later dur ing the period of occupation, and who are now fighting side by side with the forces of the other United Nations"

  might commit suicide or be assassi- mated "by some of his own people turning against him." He said Ger man morale was broken and the German people only wanted the war to end.
 The Exchange Telegraph story al- so said 1t was doubtful Hitler ever will be captured alive"
 Foreign observers who have had direct contact with leading members of the Nazi hierarchy are convinced that the Nazi party is falling to pieces and have not hesitated to pass on this considered opinion to official quarters in London" the dispatch said. 2 They speak of gathering unrest in Germany, although this is not ex- pected to take the form of political revolt the Germans moral apathy is such that they are not capable of doing anything to extri- cate themselves from the hideous plight to which Hitler's dictatorship has brought them"
 The dispatch said there was no evidence that the German high command intended to surrender ur1- conditionally, but added:
 It is clear that with no reserve for the enemy to fall back upon, the end of the war in Germany cannot be delayed for more than few weeks.
 Stacpoole said the impression also was gaining strength in London that the Japanese war may end much sooner than was once anticipated, though some last-ditch resistance always was possible.
 Himmler once before was rumored to have become acting fuehrer of Germany. That was immediately following the abortive attempt on Hitler,s life last summer, but all evidence indicated that Hitler once again had taken over the reinS of the reich following his recovery.
 Signs of g gradual German crackup also came from many other directions.
 The German radio said that the general in command of the defense of Koenigsberg surrendered against orders to fight to the last.
 Radio Luxembourg in an Allied propaganda broadcast said reports from Basel told of fighting between German Volkssturm (hone guards) and NaI SS troops in Baden and elsewhere in Germany. Aerial reconnaissance and neutral reports, meantime, indicated that the Germans have evacuated mtl- lions of civilians from Berlin, once the worlds fourth largest city.
 The city apparently has been stripped for an impending siege from the east and the west. No Enemy Disturbance Six reconnaissance flyers who swept over the burned-out German capital at low level yesterday said they saw not human being or a moving vehicle in the streets. Not a single burst of anti-aircraft fire disturbed them.
 Night reconnaissance fers, how ever, said trains were leaving Berlin under cover of darkness. presum- ably moving out the last of the civilian refugees or possibly shifting troops south to the Alps for a last stand.

GORGAS HOUSE

Because pioneers in Alabama did
net have wives and children with
them, education received little at
tention until statehood was achieved
in 1920. Poor and middle-class chill
dren attended the public schools
while children of planters and other
well-to-do families attended private
schools up to the War Between the
States. The University of Alabama
was opened at Tuscaloosa in 1881.
