Poisonous Injections Kill 5000
By ANN SPRINGER

With the U. s. First Army Inside Germany, April g - (U.Po = The "Shudder House. of Hadamar stands on 8 high hill overlooking the peaceful German towns.
 In the cemetery beside 1t are buried some 5000 persons - all of them killed in the "Shudder House" by a poison injection in the heart, administered at the orders of the Gestapo.
 The Germans in the town call the house the "Schauerhaus" They all knew what had been happening there since 1889 but the complete story was not known until Amer ican troops overran the big ranb- ling hospital" where efficiency was the watchword.
 The doctor who ran the "hos- pital" and his head nurse were both captured. They told part of the story. The graves and eighteen volumes of death certificates found in the hospital cellar told the rest.
 In the huge cemetery outside the hospital are 300 mass graves. In each grave there are 10 to 100 wooden collins, each holding two bodies, many of them women.
 In the cellar were found the vol- umes of death certificates - one volume for 1889; two for 1940; two for 1941; three for 1942; four for 1943 and six for 1944.
 Each book lists about 500 death certificates. All are the same. The name of the person has been mark

kLRB Okoys Cigormen s 

The Regional Office of the Ma tional Labor Relation board has given approval of the agreement reached by members of the local Cigar makers union and officials of the James J. Hennessy company. The plant was recently the scene of a "walk-out" when a number of em- ployes decided not to wait the long considered decision of government officials. They returned following a visit here of members of the state board of meditation. Under govern- mental directives the company was not in a position to amend the wage scale until certain forms were filed and approval given.
 The company and its employees reached an amicable agreement on day-work and piece-work and the proposals were sent to Boston. To- day word was received that the terms of the new contract were ac- ceptable and that specific agree ment may be carried out, retroactive to March 1, 1945. About 8 workers, including II women will share in the benefits. No public statement was issued today as to the terms reached. Leaders Of the Internation- al Cigarmakers characterized the recent walk-out as an unfortunats misunderstanding.

Demand Exceeds
 Dairy Supplies

Boston, April 9-(UP)-The de- mand for dairy products will con- tinue to exceed supplies even though Germany falls this year, the united business service predicted today.
 Decline in military requirements will be gradual, according to U. B.. S., and will be fully offset by in creased civilian consumption and purchases for foreign relief.
 Sales of the leading dairy com panies in 1944 compared favorably with those of the preceding year, U. B. s. reported, and prospects are that operations will expand fur ther in 1945. Because of the in- creased subsidy payments for but terfat and the abundance of feed- stuffs, the incentive to expand milk production is the strongest in many years, 1t was noted.
 War demands have stimulated the production of manufactured products, particularly canned milk, dried milk and cheese. Production of fluid milk is expected to be at least as high this year as the 119,- 900, ,O00-pound output of 1914, U. B. s. said.

Hitler Back
 In Command
By w. R. HIGGINBOTHAM

London, April g (U.P) = Adolf Hitler again has taken full personal command of the army in Germany's gravest hour, reports from the western front said today.
 Documents captured by the Allies showed that all German attacks, withdrawals or other operational movements had to be approved by Hitler in advance, BEG correspond ent Chester Willmot reported from Germany.
 All generals down to divisional commanders must consult Hitler be- fore acting, and must do so in time for Hitler to counter the orders if he feels so inclined, Willmot said.
 Never in history, Willmot said, has there been such an attempt to centralize such control in com- mand. Hitler also was insisting that his commanders communicate the blunt truth directly to him.
 Tn the future, will draStically punish any attempt at yelling the facts, whether done of purpose or through negligence" Willmot quot ed Hitler as saying.
 Hitler was supposed to have sur rendered control of the army to the German high command following the Allied breakthrough in France and the subsequent Russian break through to the approaches to Ber- lin.
 Willmot's report indicated that Hitler, following the Allied sweep across the Rhine and fearful that the high command might try to make peace, again seized the mili- tary reins in an attempt to prolong resistance as long as possible.

Manila, April @(UP)- First Cavalry Division troops neared a function with airborne forces along Tayabas Bay today after a 17-mlle advance which cut all Japanese es- cape routes from southern Luzon.
 Front reports said the cavalrymen were meeting little resistance ln the rapid advance which carried from Cavinti, on the southeast coast of Laguna Bay, to within five miles Of the 11th Airborne troops holding Lucena, capital of Tayabas Province.
 A juncture of the two forces would complete the encirclement or virtually all the battered Japanese garrison in Luzon's Bicol peninsula.
 The compressing drives by the 14th Corps at the northern end of the Peninsula and the 158th reg mental combat team at the south was taking heavy toll or the enemy's dwindling forces.
 Gen. Douglas MacArthur's com- munique disclosed that 6,495 Jap anese were killed and 179 captured during the past week, bringing the enemy's total casualties in the Phll- ippines campaign to 314,854.
 GA Japanese Domei agency dis patch, recorded by the EGG, claimed that American forces suffered 1O,242 casualties during March in the cam- paign around Balete Pass in north ern LuZon.)
 Headquarters revealed that the 158th troops seized the town of Ba- con, Philippines entry point Of the trans-Pacific cable, after 22-mile amphibious hop from Legaspi, which was captured Easter Sunday.

50 Bodies, Sprinkled With
 Lime, Found In Nazi Camp

Approximately 4,000 were cre- mated and the ashes poured into one great hole, while some 2,000 others were shot and their bodies buried In a huge pit mile or SO from the camp, according to sev- eral of the prisoners who had es- caped.
 Almost all the victims were Rus sians, CzechoslovakianS, Poles, Frenchmen, German Jews and Ger man political prisoners. They were beaten and tortured and when maj nutrition prevented their doing full days work they were killed.
 One of the victims, blonde youngster lying on stretcher with hole in his neck, may be an American flyer. That is what he told others in the camp. but he wore no Identification tags an 1t was impossible to check his iden- tity.

TANK PARATROOPS BEHIND NAzI LINES 500, ,OOO Personnel Increase Navy Aim
British Storm Outskirts Of Hanover And Bremen; German Resistance Vanishes
BY BOYD D. LEWIS

Paris, April 9. = (UP) American paratroops were reported dropping far behind the German lines ill the path of the Berlin-bound U. s. First Army today ar other Yank and British forces to the north stormed into the outskirts of Hannover and Bremen.
 The German DNB News Agency said 500 or more American parachutists were showering down into the 38- mile corridor between Hann- Muenden and Muehlhausen in an attempt 70 blaze a trail across the Werra river for the Main First Army forces.
 Front dispatches said German resistance appeared to have van- ished before the First Army, fore- shadowing a swift drive on the Elbe River line and Beri.
 Ahead lies nothing that looks like real resistance reported NBC Correspondent John McVane. The end will not be long,
 There was no immediate confir- nation of the enemy report, which failed to make the usual claim that the paratroops had been wiped | out"
 The reported airborne operation apparently was intended to turn the Werra River, southeastern Crib- utary of the Weser and link up with American Third Army forces in the Muehlhausen area.
 The First Army, cloaked by 8 partial security blackout, already had shattered the German defens es along the Weser River northeast of Hann-Muenden and advanced 13 miles or more beyond the stream.
 Juncture Desirable
 A juncture with the Third Army would plant the two American forces on the Berlin side of the last important water barriers vest of the Elbe, 100 mile to the east. The Elbe loops back to within 43 miles of the German capital north of Magdeburg.

 The German high command non committally reported only that m the southern and western parts o1 Vienna our troops are engaged in heavy fighting"

 The Red army offensive will ex- plode, the Nazis said, when the Anglo-Americans cross the Elbe, anc a proclamation of the wars enc may be expected when the eastern and western Allies meet.
 While the NaZiS were looking te the end of the war in central Ger many, their southeastern defenses were falling apart and posing di- rect threat to any prospective stand in the mountains of southern Ger many.
 Berlin reported violent fighting in the immediate vicinity of Vien- mas Franz Joseph station. It is less than a mile from the ring, the famous inner boulevard ringing the old city. The Russians moved against the station from Kalen- berg hill and the famous Grinzig area.

 "A bloody, bitter fight is raging on this southern front with man against and artillery against artil- lery," Johnson said.
 Soldiers of the 24th Corps pene- trated the first Japanese defense line in slugging advances of 200 to 400 yards yesterday after capturing Uchitomari, four miles north Of Mana, and Kaniku, four and half miles northeast, Saturday.
 The advances, coupled with an almost unopposed Marine push in central Okinawa. brought one third or more of the island under Ameri- can control as the invasion entered it's second week.
 As on Two, the Japanese de- defenders of Naha were fighting from caves, interlocking pillboXes other strong points on heights from which they cauld sweep the ad- vancing Americans with murderous crossfire.
