had been relatively light. At the
same time he cautioned IT don't
think we should write too glazing
headlines that the war is over or
anything like that"
Bradley, whose command also
embraces the new 18th Army, said
that force probably would be in an
active role before too long" (The
Germans in a recent broadcast had
said the 18th already was operat-
ing in the east Rhine bridgehead
The general said the First Ar
my's east Rhine salient had been
''purposely held back from its full
est exploitation until the operations
of the Third and Seventh Armies
below the Moselle could be COM
pleted."
1.-The whole operation OF clearing
the Rhine land has gone faster
than we dared hope" he said.
Bradley said Allied Armies cap
tured 203,010 Germans in the
Rhineland, not including some 3d.
600 reported captured by the Third
Army and not yet processed
through prison enclosures. This
figure included 52,381 taken by
Field Marshal Montgomery's 21st
Army Group in the north between
February 8 and March 8.
He said that on Wednesday alone,
the First and Third Armies seiz-
ed 1900 Germans at cost of 81
American lives.
While not announcing American
casualties on the Western Front,
the general said the greatest num-
Der of First and Third Army men
killed on any one day between Feb
ruary % and March 81 was 269 on
February % when the two armies
captured 3,101 Germans. The low
est number of Americans killed on
any one day was 90 on March II
when 1906 prisoners were taken.
He said that on six days American
dead in both armies was less than
100 daily.
The War Department has said
that from D-Day to March l, Amer
lean casualties included 70,4l4 kill
ed, 297, SAT wounded and 81, o56 mis-
sing.
In his caution against "glaring
headlines that the war is over OF

a new contract, a flat refusal was given on the wage issue and union security request, MT. Moriarty re- ported.
 Although the Chase and American Brass Co.,. locals are asking for a 30 percent wage increase, the Sco- will unions demand is for 30 cents an hour raise, it was disclosed to- day. The specific boost approXimates 30 percent, MT. Moriarty stated.
 The hiring wage at the Scovill Go. is 34 cents an hour for men and 72 cents an hour for women. The 30- cent-an-hour increase would be add ed to the base earnings on piece work and to the labor grade on day work
 Immediate Strike Asked
 MT. Moriarty reported that sev- eral Scovill departments have asked for an immediate strike. but that the local is trying to suppress the unrest and strike enthusiasm until it Is certain further negotiations will accomplish nothing.
 "We don't want to break off ne- gotiations while any hope remains" :" MT. Moriarty stated, adding the un- ion officials wish to hold back fur ther action until the end of the week, when the Washington confer ence may end. We should make every effort to come to an agree ment," he stated.
 ScoYill management and local representatives will meet with Com missioner William Truax, national conciliator, sometime next week, if it appears that results of the Wash ington conference warrant further negotiations here. the international union representative stated.
 Other Issues Simple
 All other issues raised on the Sco- will contract could be strengthened out fin a half an hour" the union official reported, commenting that the drawbacks to a new contract were the wage-increase and union shop requests.
 Further conferences at the Amer ican Brass Co.,. have been sought by John J. Driscol, CIO negotiating agent in the dispute, who yesterday asked Commissioner Walter Maggi- olo, national conciliator. to arrange further sessions.
 Officials of the Chase local like wise were reported awaiting the out come of the Washington session. The membership is scheduled to meet Sunday to decide whether or not to take it's own strike-vote. The local last week petitioned for an NLRB strike ballot.

 T cannot bring myself to visu- alize another World War. It is a somber thought that as long as our new world organization is so loose ly formed such possibilities and their consequences are practically beyond human control. My heart is not carefree when I look out upon the scene. The same uncomfortable anXieties which some Of us felt in the years before the war recur."
