American Seventh, Third Armies Nearing Juno
 lion on Rhine

PARIS, March 20.-The German defenses in the Saar Basin have col lapsed while the rampaging Amer ican Seventh and Third armies raced toward imminent junction near the Rhine.
 Gen. George s. Patton's Third Army flanked the Siegfried Line and the alternate Unsbrueck lines ln the Saar Palatinate and in sweeping gains moved to within four miles Of the second Palatinate city of Kaiser lautern, which is within nine miles of Mainz, and g miles from the chemical center of Ludwigshafen.
 Gen. Patch's Seventh Army broke completely through 12-mile stretch of the Siegfried Line between Saar- bruecken and Zweibruecken. The pocket around Saarbruecken and the great steel mills of the Saarland IS all but closed if not already closed, since reports on developments are tagging behind, delayed by security blackoutS.
 In the Kaiserlautern area the armies are but 20 odd miles apart and are coming closer together fast. More than 50,000 of an originally estimated 80,000 Germans of the enemy's First and Seventh armies have already been counted as casual ties.
 In seven blazing days of Gen. Patton's offensive he inflicted at least 45,000 casualties on the orig inal 80,O0O Germans in the Rhine, Moselle and Saar pocket. Corre- spondent E, D, Bell said, in a dis patch, that prisoners alone totaled up to 10000. The Seventh Army has taken at least 4,000 additional.
 The U. S. First Army, east of the Rhine, overran more than two score villages and smashed into the out skirts of Bonn, on the Rhine's east bank. Gen. Hodges forces have advanced south to clamp an iron grip on a 24-mile stretch of the river.

 Berlin broadcasts said the Red Army had also thrust out their huge drive to clear the Germans from upper Silesia, capturing Neustadt.

100000 Men Monthly Will Be Mustered Out
 After Nazis Defeated
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The other day Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines head of the Veterans Administra- tion, appeared before the House App propriations Committee. He had all the facts and figures at his finger tips and reeled them off. Among others was one that made real news His declaration that after the fall ot Germany, the Army planned to mus ter out an average of 100000 men a month.
 At the conclusion of his testl- mony, one of the members of the committee thanked General Hines and said what pleasure it was tc have him before the committee be- cause he always had his material ir perfect form and knew whereof he spoke.
 Hardly had the Generals testi- mony come out than Army officials hastened to disavow that they hac any such plan.
 The general was embarrassed, but off the record, some officials, ever in the Army, are saying that ht needn't be. At the rate of 100000 g month, it would take the Army more than three years to muster out its entire personnel, if the draft law stopped working tomorrow - and wt would still have the Navy and tho Marines.
