DF.AX. VVhmlon Bureau, 1387 Nal'l Frru Rldg. rd'ItL COHHrSPOVDESCB to thi UNgiimsm. WASHINGTON WTiile the capital cheered the crossing of the Rhine by the First Army this week officials and citizens devoted much time to the question "Who will lead the march to Tokyo? There was much gold braid in the capital this week. Adm.

Chester W. Nimitz, Commander of the Fleet, held the lime-i light. Adm. William F. Halsey, his prin cipal aid and hero of me secona uaiu.

honored bv iTesiaene nooseveu who presented him with a gold star in lieu of a third distinguished service medal. Also recognized in Washington were: Gen. Joseph Stilwell, Maj. Gen. Patrick J.

Hurley, Ambassador to China, and Gen. Albert C. Wede-meyer, Chiang Kai-Shek's Chief oi Staff. Naturally scribes wanted to know at the President's Friday conference whether there was any significance in the presence of all these warriors in the capital. The only reply they received was a suggestion that it was probably good flying weather.

Nlmitz, for whom an elaborate press conference was arranged, said he knew of no connection between the visits of the other famous men and bit own. His press conference was unusual because James For-restal, Secretary of the Navy, en tered the big conference room in the Navy Department with the Ad- miral and his staff. But the Secre- tary immediately turned to the commander of the fleet and said: "This is your press conference." Nimitz told the correspondents the joint chiefs of staff were con sidering a new command in the Pacific when asked "who will lead the inarch to Tokyo?" A few days before, Halsey told the press he hoped he and Gen. Douglass Mac-Arthur would go to Tokyo together. A number of correspondents interpreted Nimitz's emphasis that land battles will play a most important part in the war with Japan to mean MacArthur had an excellent chance of being selected to head the expedition from the Philippines to Tokyo, with great aid from the Air Forces to be established at Iwo Jima and other bases yet to be taken from the enemy.

AS WASHINGTOXIANS gener ally think a great deal of the po litical future, this was very pleas ing to Republicans in the capital They make no secret of the fact they expect a hero of the war to be a candidate for President, and MacArthur would be much more popular with Republicans in the capital than Cmdr. Harold E. Stas-en. The GOP leaders here con- itantly remind that Sen. Fred Ball, Stassen's friend, deserted Gov.

Thomas E. Dewey last year whenever the former Governor of Minnesota was mentioned as a presidential possibility. But Washington optimists hoping for an early end of the war failed to receive much encouragement from events of the week. Notwithstanding the crossing of the Rhine, President Roosevelt told his conference speculation as to the end of the fighting in Germany was still crystal ball gazing. Nlmltz'f story of the war in the Pa-cifio convinced all who heard it a long hard road must be traveled before the Allied leaders ride the Emperor of Japan's white horse down the streets of Tokyo.

Nimitz said the Jap Navy was in a bad way, but there is enough cf it left to form a "threat" to all advances. He emphasized that less than one-tenth of Japan's army had participated in ihe island fighting. He described operations at Iwo Jima as the toughest ever encountered. He indicated there would be a similar defense of the Japanese home islands, predicting civilians would Join with the Japanese Army and fight fanatically when the Allies land there. Purpose of the conference was to tell newsmen of the importance of Iwo Jima.

Nimitz said the island was needed as a part of the air at tack on Japan. He said the fierce attempt to save it was evidence Japan knew of its importance. But he promised it would be taken and must be taken completely, that the three airfields there can be used both to protect heavy bombers from Saipan and to start new air raids on the enemy. He indicated other bases would be taken before landing on the Japanese main islands. He said the Navy could land on Japan now, but it would be difficult to sustain such a landing.

Most optimistic prediction of the commander of the fleet was hii statement that Japan's petroleum supply from the south soon would be cut off. Most of this supply eomes from the Netherlands East Indies, but newsmen failed to learn any details of the campaign Nlinitx constantly reminded that the Japanese would like to know the Navy's plans. He said bases In Russia would be useful and also Indicated a landing on the China roast held by Japan was not out of the question. His conclusion "we have a big Job before use in the Pacific" was the conclusion of all who attended the conference. CONGRESS HAD ITS eyes on an Easter vacation this week.

Resolu tion! have been prepared for a recess between March 24 and April JO, and there are numerous conferences in progress concerning the dates, However, the week's work in Congress did not please the President much. He strongly disapproved of the Man-Power Act passed by the Senate. This bill would obtain man power by voluntary methods and the President aid plainly voluntary methods had failed. The bill toes to conference and the FTeiident wants teeth put I While Ihe President was meeting" jthe picN, liep. Andrew J.

May, I Chairman of the House Military I Affairs Committee said there would 'he no man-power bill unless the Senate accepted the House bill which is a work-or-KO-to-jail bill. Son. Edwin Johnson, Colorado, Democrat, Chairman of the Senat-i Military Affairs bill said there would be no man-power bill unless the House accepted the Senate bill. Hay predicts the House will send the Senate bill to conference Monday, but Republicans with Southern Democrats in support will make a fight to approve the Senate bill. If the bill goes to conference It is likely the conferees will be strongly pro-administration.

In that event there will be an attempt at a compromise carrying out the desires of the President. Until the Senate acts on the nurses draft bill passed by the House this week member of the will not be in a good frame of mind to compromise. The nurses draft bill was requested by the President when he asked for a man-power bill. Plans for a recess will await the disposition of both of these measures Incidentally, the nurses draft bill is largely the work of Ohio and Indiana Congressmen. Rep.

Charles H. Elston fought for a requhement tko( nnraus ha AAmmiaolAnail Caiv hllt was defeated there. Because Elston was to lead a fight for an amend ment on the floor giving nurses the right cf appeal from decisions of the procurement division which operated in the selection of physicians for the Army, Rep. Forrest A. Harness, Indiana, presented the amendment on the floor requiring commissions, and won his battle.

Elston also won the fight for his amendment giving nurses appeals through the draft boards. The Elston amendment in com mittee requiring that graduates of the Cadet Nurse Corps be drafted first was eliminated on the floor and Rep. Frances Bolton, Ohio, who was the author of the nurses training act won this fight. But Mrs. Bolton lost her battle for in clusion of married nurses and a cepted a compromise which will permit the drafting of nurses who marry after March 15, 1945.

Nurses who marry before this date cannot be drafted. Rep. Clarence J. Brown, Ohio, easily won support enough to write his amendment in the bill This amendment provided that there shall be no discrimination in the drafting of nurses because of "race, creed or color." This amendment is not causing enthusiasm in the Navy, which has no Negro nurses. In the end, all Ohio Congressmen supported the bill, which passed by an overwhelming favorable vote.

THERE IS LITTLE isolationism left in Ohio, if a survey made by Rep. J. Harry McGregor, in his I7th District, reflects the opinion prevalent in the state. The 17th District consists of Ashland. Coshocton, Delaware, Knox, Licking and Richland Counties.

Prin cipal cities are Newark, Delaware, Mt Vernon, Mansfield, Ashland and Coshocton. The percentages of industry, labor and agriculture in the district are nearly the same as they are in the entire state. McGregor has an elaborate system for learning opinions of his constituents. At intervals he mails out questionnaires to Republican and Democratic committeemen and committeewomen, leaders of civic organizations, farm leaders, labor leaders, leaders of business and industry, manufacturers, newspapers. professional men and women (in cluding writers, doctors, lawyers, teachers, school and college execu- tives), blacksmiths, barber shops.

beauty salons, public-office holders and housewives. IX HIS LATEST questionnaire three of his questions concerned the proposed peace organizations. There were 703 replies to the ques tion "Do you favor United States becoming a member of a world peace organization?" Only 48 an swered "No" and 655 answered Yes." But his constituents de mand the principles of the Atlantic Charter be adhered to. There were 665 replies to the question Would you favor the world peace organization if Russia and England refused to apply the principles of the Atlantic Charter to the small nations (not allow them to become active members of a world league.) Only 259 voted "Yes" and 406 voted "No." Senator Arthur H. Vanden- berg's plan of beglnlng a league before the war is ended was popu lar in the district.

There were 519 who favored the Vandenberg plan and 116 who opposed it. The district was closely divided on the subject of compulsory peacetime military training. There were 387 "Noes' and 327 voted "Yes." The smallest number of answers was received to a question as to whether peacetime military train ing should be devoted solely to mili tary training or whether it should include courses in educa tlonal, social and religious subjects as suggested by the President. There were 385 who voted for military training alone and 205 opposed this. THE DISTRICT evidently doea not favor a national work service law.

Only 159 approved such a law and 559 voted against it. Drafting of nurses is not popular in the district, as 394 voted against the nurse draft and 311 favored it. In response to the question "Do you favor drafting the 4-Fs?" 419 voted "Yes" and 265 "No." A ma jority of those answering favored giving 4-Fs full veteran benefits if they are drafted for noncombatant work as 388 voted yes and 271 no. The world peace organization was favored by every occupation canvassed. Six newspaper editors who replied voted "yes." Housewives favored the organization, 55 to farmers, 83 to labor, 52 to 10; business, 110 to 17.

Those in professional occupations, 99 to civic organizations, 226 to 10, and blacksmiths, 6 to 3. McGregor sends out the question naires to learn what bis constituents are thinking about. Of 1,200 questionnaires sent out, 725 were returned, but a number of rest-dents of the district failed to answer all the questions. Other Ohio Con gressmen were Interested in the project and indicated the replies are about the same as they receive from less thorough canvassing of sentiment in Ohio.

HARD. Members of the Ferrying Division of the Air Transport Command of the Army Air Forces help TWA employees put up an aerial for a transmitter at the Greater Cincinnati Airport in Boone County, Kentucky, preparatory to regular service at that field tomorrow. TWA service there has been in the form of a shuttle plane Washington newspaper demanding an OVA to end floods in the Ohio Valley. Rep. George Bender, Con gressman-at-Large from Ohio and a member of the Rivers and Har bors Committee, is the author, The bill does not call for one of the "seven TVA's-' suggested by President Roosevelt.

The Presi dent's "TVA's" are intended to produce hydroelectric power. Bender's bill provides for flood prevention on a large scale by building reser voirs and dams in the Ohio and its tributaries. It also would provide for irrigation to farms along the Ohio River which suffer from sum mer drouths. Authority to establish recreation centers along the Ohio and its tributaries is granted by the bill. The bill might result in flood-prevention projects which would displace a number of small com munities along the Ohio River, the Big and little Miami River and the Licking River in the vicinity of Cincinnati.

There Is a lengthy section concerning "displacement of population." Fate of the bill depends on Its reception in the Rivers and Harbors Committee. The measure would require long hearings. Rep. William E. Hess, Cincinnati, an nounced he would support the Bender bill with a few modifica tions.

Neither Hess nor Elston are enthusiastic about the President's plans for spreading "TVA's'' throughout the country. It is generally conceded in Congress that harnessing the Ohio River for electric power is not feasible. The Army engineers frequently have reported the drop in the Ohio River is insufficient to provide great quantities of electric energy. But Congressmen who have districts touching the Ohio River are demanding something be done about floods and some form of a flood prevention bill may re-1 suit from Bender's effort Incidentally the Ohio River flood made work lighter in Cincinnati Congressmen's office this week be- caUM of interference with the mam neuner Cincinnati congressmen received the usual volume of mail from their constituents after Tuesday. None of the Cincinnati newspapers reached their offices from Tuesday until Friday.

The Cincinnati Congressmen are awaiting facts concerning the flood in their home city and they propose renewal of the fight to make the Millcreek Barrier Dam protect the Millcreek Valley industrial section until a stage of 80 feet is reached. An 80-foot dam was demanded, but the War Production Board at first said no dam at all until after the war. When the two Congressmen, Sen. Robert A. Taft, representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, Jack Hurst, representing labor, and C.

O. Sherrill, former City Manager, appeared before the board they compromised on a 65-foot dam. But the recent flood proved this was not quite high enough, although the Congressmen are informed their efforts saved considerable property during the progress of the flood. Blood Center Closes The Red Cross Blood Donor Center in the Doctors' Building on Garfield Place will be closed tomorrow. It is impossible to get blood to Indianapolis to be processed because of the curtailment of transportation facilities due to the flood.

The center will be re opened as soon as transportation is normal. INDIANA MARKETS. lndinpoll. Mureh 10 APiWFA Hobi 1,800: aclv. itrattv: eood and choice 160-400 lh 114.

Granting of the priorities will mean the expenditure of approximately $400,000, Kays said. MERCHANT Dies After Short Illness-John G.
