Plenty Of Black Market
 Meat Enters New England

Boston, April 24-CUP)-A mem- Der of the special congressional committee Investigating food prob lems said today that testimony in- dicates a Enthusiastically large" amount of meat is going into the black market in New England.
 Rep. Christian A. Herter, R., Mass, made his observation after regional OPA meat ration officer Frederick w. Lake testified at a public hearing that 0,701 900 pounds of federally and non-federally in- spected meat were recorded in this area during January and February this year as compared with 23,795.- 361 pounds in the corresponding 1914 period.
 Noting the approximately 17,000,- 900 pound increase, chairman Clin- ton P. Anderson, D., N. M., remark ed smilingly that these New Eng land states get along pretty well' and maybe we ought to divert a little of this to New York"
 Lake said that the total of non- federally inspected meat in Janu- ary and February 1944 was 14,900, 900 pounds, while this year the amount jumped to 29, 100000 pounds.
 Anderson then commented, well that indicates a possible black mar ket source. After all, if 15,000,000 of a 17,O0O, ,O00- increase is in non-fed- erally inspected plants and if Slaughterers must take loss if they conform to the OPA ceilings, the question is why would anyone want to increase a bad busineSS?"
 Lake said he thought the in- crease could be attributed largely to the number cf new slaughtering licenses issued to retailers who thereby eliminate the wholesaler in their transactions.
 Herter said that Lakes testi- mony tended to differ from "all the others who say that New Eng land is faring worse than other re- gions in the meat situation" He noted the 40 per cent decrease in shipped tonnage this year from 1944 but said the increase in local slaughter seemed to compensate

Court Help Desired In
 Bouby Case
(NEA Telephoto)

Court intervention was sought to- day as the result of a disagreement on disposition, sale and manage ment of the Bauby property on Ex- change Place and several other real estate holdings of the Bauby family
 Sixteen defendants are named in the property action filed in superior court today by John w. Bauby. of Bloomington. Ind; and Joseph P. Bauby of Springfield, Mass. The plaintiffs and the defendants are all part owners of the valuable premises.
 One count of the complaint in- wolves property listed as located on Bank street at Exchange Place, on the site of the former Hodson land. The other count involves five par cels of property, located at 4-6 Bank street, Hamden avenue, 88 Wads- worth street, 94 Lexington avenue, and Washington avenue.
 Pointing out that there is dis agreement on disposition of the property, and that the property is of such a nature that it cannot be partioned, the plaintiffs state it would be to the best interest of all parties that the property be sold and proceeds divided. The formal request to the court, however, Is for partitioning or sale.
 The court writ points out that the property involved is part of the premises described by the probate certificate of devise from the estate of Joseph Bauby, dated July q, 1937 and that it also is described in a probate certificate of distribution dated July 31, 1930.
 The Exchange Place property, the basis of the first count of the litiga- tion, is subject to mortgage loan of $l9,O00 made in 1904 and assign ed in 1927 to the Waterbury Savings Bank. 1t is pointed out.
 Interest of the defendants in that parcel of property is listed in the writ as follows: Adele J. Bauby of Waterbury, one-quarter of an undi- vided one-half interest; Margaret Bauby Goetz, of Miami, Fla; Rosie

Petoin To 

Bern, April 24-(UP) - Marshal Henri Philippe Petain. chief of state of the defunct Vichy govern ment, fled into Switzerland from Germany today preparatory to sur rendering to French authorities.
 A Swiss government announce ment said Petain had been granted permission to enter Switzerland on his plea that he wished to return to France to answer charges Of treason.
 The 89-year-old marshal, hero of World War 1, crossed the border at St. Margrethen on Lake Con- stance at 6 a. m. in a nine-car ca ravan after spending the night at Bregenz. He went there from Sig maringen, seat of his puppet gov- ernment.
 Petain will wait in Switzerland for instructions from Paris as to the time and place of his surrend- CT, the Swiss announcement said.
 He is wanted for trial as traitor in surrendering France to Ger many in 1940 and subsequently, col laborating with the Nazfs. His trial was to have been held in Absentia next month, but the Swiss all- nouncement means that he will be on hand for the opening.
 An official communique said Pe- tain applied to the Swiss Federal Council for permission for himself, his wife and a small suite to cross Switzerland to France '.in order % give himself up to the French court

3-ARMY DRIVE SENT AGAINST
 NAz| RETREAT
BY BOYD D. LEWIS

Paris, April 24. = (UP) - More than 2,000 American and French tanks crashed through the outer defenses of Hitler's Bavarian Redoubt on a 2OO-mile front today ln a blazing three-army drive that carried within 1O5 miles of the Fuehrer'S Alpine hideout at Berchtesgaden.
 Headquarters revealed that one of the greatest armored striking forces in military history had been thrown against the Bavarian retreat where the hunted Nazi lead CTS were trying to gather their remaining SS divisions for the last battle of Europe.
 The American Third and Seventh and the French First Armies were advancing flank to flank though the outer Bavarian defenses on 8 bat tie line extending from the Swiss to the Czechoslovak borders, using possibly 10 or more armored divl- sions to spearhead the assault.
 Flying tank columns of the U. s. Third Army were far out in front of the BerchteSgaden drive, shred ding through a 45-mile belt of Naz defenses just west of the Czech frontier.
 1S Mile Advance
 Rolling up advances of 18 miles and more in 24 hours, the Amer jeans drove four miles past the Ger man road center of Cham on their eastern flank to point only l05 miles northwest of Berchtesgaden and 53 miles from Austrian soil.
 Some Third Army tank columns were operating under rigid secur- ity blackout that suggested they might be considerably closer to Hit ler,s Bavarian retreat. Headquarters spokesmen said the enemy's com- municationS had been so badly cut np that their commanders appar- 'ently were not sure just where the Third Army spearheads were.
 The Third Army's right wing was closing fast on the great Danubian fortress of Regensburg, 62 miles northeast of Munich.
 The Third Army breakthrough overshadowed big gains by the American Seventh and French First Armies farther to the southwest.
 The Americans extended their Dil- lingen bridgehead over the Danube

Red Juncture Likely Foked
By JOHN McDERMOTT

With U. s. First Army III Ger many, April "A - U.Po - Front correspondents were unable to con- firm a junction with the Russians on the American First Army sector up to noon today, despite a Moscow radio report that link-up had been made.
 There was speculation either that the broadcast was faked by the Germans for their own purposes or that the tactical situation changed SO as to delay the Russians or cause a change in their plans for the junction.
 A Russian voice broadcasting to the First Army lines over a field radio last night told the doughboys: "Hold your positions. We are getting closer. Don't be impatient. We will join you soon." .e
 Some field officers believed the radio voice was that of German army operator. The speaker repeat edly asked probing questions about the location of the American for- ward positions and was insistent that the Americans should hold their lines.
 That was viewed as possible ruse to keep the Americans bottled up along the Mulde river while the German troops caught between the Russians and the First Army pulled out.
 The corridor between the Rus- sians and the First Army last night was still about g miles wide - the distance between the Elbe and Null de rivers. There was no concrete evidence early today that the Rus sians were across the Elbe on this front.
 Many observers had believed the junction would be made on the American Ninth Army front farther north. where the Americans already have Q foothold across the .Elbe. {
 This view was based on the fact .- l-s-ss=aiss.s.ss

Polish Question Alarms
 Farley Before It Opens
By LYLE c. WILSON

San Francisco, April "A - (U.P) The United Nations conference on international organization was jeop- ardized today before it began as the American British Russian dispute over Polish participation was trans ferred here for adjustment.
 The first plenary conference ses- sion is scheduled for 7:30 p. m., (EWT) tomorrow. With scarcely more than "A hours to go, the Big Three found themselves in the en- barrassing position of being unable to settle misunderstanding which they thought they had cleared up last winter in the Crimea.
 Efforts In Vain
 Efforts to adjust the dispute in preliminary Washington discussions have failed. Delegates of other na- tions anxiously awaited the arrival of the top diplomats of the big pow CTS. It generally was conceded that the United States, Great Britain and the Soviet Union must adjust this dispute among themselves if C4lC OAlAIVu 4NdtlOllo COAlACA CllCC 10 tO have the hoped-for opportunity to write postwar security charter.
 Britains Foreign Secretary An- thony Eden and U. s. Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., have been insisting that the Soviet Union live up to the Crimea agree ment that the Lublin government be reorganized on a broader Dem ocratic basis with the inclusion of Democratic leaders from Poland it. self and from Poles abroad"
 That was the essence of the Crimea report on Poland and it was signed by the late President Roose- welt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Marshal Josef V. Stalin.
 Stettinius, Eden, Foreign Com misSar V. M. Molotov, of the Soviet Union, and Foreign Minister T. V. Soong, of China, were coming here separately by air.
 The Russians here are saying mo- thing but they are the talk of the town. The mere fact that the 10th floor of the St. Francis Hotel has been taken over by the Russian delegation has San Francisco punchy with curiosity.
 The accurate report that Russian guards protected the Russian quar- ters added to the popular interest.

NAz|S IN BERLIN DEATH STAND Tanks 1O5 Miles From HitIer's Hide0ut
HALF OF CITY NOW OCCUPIED
 BY RED UNITS
BY ROBERT MUsEL

London, April 9. = (UP) - The Red Army was re. ported today to have encir- cled the ruins of tottering Berlin, and Nazi sources hinted that the fanatical de lenders were falling back for a death stand in the north western quarters of the city.
 The Soviet government organ Izvestia said Berlin's hours were numbered. Two Russian armies were chop ping through street barri- cades in the heart of the cap- ital. Official reports tagging far behind the blazing battle said one-third to one-half of Berlin had been captured.
 Street fighting of fantastic fury'' was reported by the Nazi-controlled Oslo radio. It said the Soviet as- sault forces had taken a great number of the stricken city's blocks, and that the main weight of the struggle now centered in the northwestern section, which the Nazis appeared to have chosen for their last stand.
 A German high command admiS- sion that the Russians had reached Brandenburg, p miles west of Ber- lin, indicated that they were run ming rampant beyond the capital. It tended to support the encircle- ment report. A communique also said Soviets had thrust as far as the area south fPotsdam and beyond Koenigswusterhaus at the south eastern edge of the city.
 Unqualified Report
 As the battle of Berlin ragged, the first unqualified report of a hiss toric junction between the Red army and the United States army came from Moscow. A United Press dis patch said Marshal Ivan S. Konev's First Ukranian army had joinsd forces with the American First army 60 miles or so south of Berlin. It added that Marshal Gregory K. Zhukovs First White Russian army was speeding toward an imminent junction with the U. s. Ninth army at Stendal.
 Stockholm and French advices re- ported the encirclement of Berlin and the trapping of whatever mem- bers of the Nazi hierarchy remained to witness the death throes of their devastated capital. The Nazis said yesterday that Adolf Hitler was di- recting the defense of Berlin, but

 When the experts decided to call in the regular money in Hawaii, they issued dollars with the word Hawaii printed on the backs. The regular currency. piled up in small mountains in the back rooms of all the banks.
 The treasury people decided it was too costly to ship this money back to the mainland" Austin said. "They thought they'd better burn it.

Manila, April 2-(UP)-Amer- ican troops split Japanese forces on Mindanao in two and raced to- ward the principal city of Davao today against only light opposi- tion.
 AS the Mindanao campaign near ed its final phase, Gen. Douglas MacArthur announced that 1O,896 Japanese were killed and 353 cap tured throughout the Philippines in the last eight days.
 Those figures brought the total Japanese casualties in the Philip pines to 334,465, compared to 34.- SIS for the U s. Sixth and Eighth Armies fighting in the Archipela- go. The American casualties con- sisted of 7,49l killed, 26,606 wound ed and 421 missing, while great majority of the Japanese casualties represented known dead.

Tanks Build Okinowo Base
By FRANK TREMAINE

Guam, April 24-(UP)-American forces have captured three quar- ters of Okinawa and have begun converting it into a key base for the next stage of the American march on Japan and the China coast, Admiral Chester w. Nimitz said today.
 Even as he spoke, American B-29 SuperfortreSseS were continuing their softening-up bombardment of Japan proper. A fleet of 15O from the Marianas hit the Hitachi air. craft factory at Tachikawa, IA miles west of Tokyo, for the first time.
 Nimitz revealed that development of OlSinawa into a major American base was under way at a press conference on the island following an inspection tour.
 "The acquisition of Okinawa will permit us to project our sea and air power to the China coast and Japanese homeland and will greatly facilitate and speed up operations in the fture," he said.
 'The operations here are going along as planned end development of the island already has started ?

Water Plant Oppon-
ents To Go To Court

Despite the citizens overwhelming
vote in special election at NortL
East several weeks ago in favor of
sewer and water installation, the is
sue is not settled, according to op-
ponents.
They have obtained counsel and
propose to bring the issue before the
courts.
On the other hand the board of
town commissioners is carrying out
its plans as approved by the voters.
1t was also recommended by some
of the citizens at public meeting
held last week that fire hydrant be
INCLUDED in the plans, to be located
north of the Pennsylvania Railroad
at an additional cost of about $4,000,
also that the water line to Harvey's S
Fisk Packing Plant on the south end
of town, be increased from two-inch
to six-inch, to accommodate the fu-
ture expansion of manufacturing fa-
cilities there, at an additional cost of
$1,000.
With the sale of bonds, as author
lied by the town election, contracts
now can be let and installation start
ed early next spring.
