The U. S. 24th corps breakthrough on Okinawa, 325 miles south of Japan, was no sweeping advance.

Nimitz announced 21,269 enemy soldiers have been killed in the Okinawa operation, including more than a dozen neighboring islands.

Comparable American casualties, in three fewer days of fighting, were 7,424, including 146 dead, 296 missing and 5,982 wounded. The comparison excludes 4,700 Amcr- prmger.

Back From Tour Of Pacific Naval Duly, Speaker At Rotary. Lt. (j- Hale McCown, home for a brief leave after over 10 months at sea in the Pacific, met with his fellow members of the Rotary club today and described the routine of life on a plane carrier. These carriers are used in amphibious operations, sending out bombers and fighters in support of invasion -troops. They are parts of groupings of various sizes, serve on anti-submarine patrols and do rescue work.

Their guns, anti-aircraft, are used chiefly for their own protection. Lt. McCown left Pearl ast May and arrived back in the States in February. He is on his way to another course of training at a navy school in Georgia. Dur- ng his service in the southeast Pacific, he crossed the Equator more than seventy times.

Good Life on Carrier Landing planes upon a small carrier is a fine art. His ship, McCown said, landed sixteen planes with an average interval of 22 seconds planes. Sometimes squally weather complicates the technic of getting the planes back home. Life on the ship is comfortable compared with what the land tioops have to meet, McCown said, no malaria, reptiles, sharks and the like to bother, and the food is good and quarters convenient. He said one learns a lot in the navy and appreciation of peacetime existence is one of the best learned lessons.

Christenson, chairman of the CC agricluture committee, as soon as possible. There must be at Isae five members in each club. If suf ficient interest is shown, a sale of dairy calves will be held in 'June.

The committee also' considered additional county fair premiums and made plans for the showing of some classes of Farmatroope chicks at the fair. As an alterna tive to the fair, a consignmen showing and sale of 4-H bab; beeves was discussed. Members of the agriculture anc livestock development committe are I. G.

The Fifth army thrust beyond Po was-meeting scant opposi- but headquarters continued a news' blackout on the exact areas -eached by American and south African spearheads. There was no immediate confirmation from air force head-' quarters that the Germans had led from Genoa, Milan and Turin toward their homeland, leaving in full control of the cites. There has been evidence for many weeks, however, that the nazis have been prepared for abandonment of the three cities. (A radio 'station calling itself 'free Genoa" announced last night that Italian patriots had liberated most of Genoa, the office of war information reported in New York. The broadcast said the patriots were mopping up the last centers of German resistance.) An official report said the Germans were making a speedy withdrawal from their last strongholds in the western end of the Appen- ines.

American units heading up the coast from captured La Spezia were meeting only "very little artillery fire," the report added, saying "weak rearguards" blew up "a few" bridges. PARIS, April 26 British Second army captured Bremen today, clearing all the great port except the dock area and Bruger park north of the center of the city. Far to the south, the American Third army closed within 11 miles of Austria' and 41 of Munich. Gen. Patton's tanks were within 100 miles of a junction with the Russians west of Vienna, a union which would encircle Czechoslovakia and create a pocket larger than the Ruhr.

72 Miles From Chalot The Third army last reported 72 miles from Hitler's roost at Berchtesgaden, but encountering harder opposiiton at the fringe of the Alpine redoubt. Russian shells fell near Ninth army positions on the Elbe northwest of Berlin, hinting an immi nent junction. The British lowland (52nd) and Iron Third divisions captured 5,000 Germans since entering Bermen yesterday- Rigid opposition gave way suddenly and almost disappeared by midafternoon. On the Elbe to the north, a meeting of the Ninth army and the Russians who encircled Berlin appeared very close for Red army shells were falling near that river in the Arneburg area, 48 miles northwest of the dying capital of nazidom. The First army and the Russians were last reported 18 miles apart in tho center.

Application blanks have already been rceived for one-third of the total amount of chicks given out last year. With the government urgently appealing for increased meat production, the role of the Farma- troopers' chick raising project gains in importance.

Applications for chickc must be postmarked before April 30 so tha tthe orders may be placed with the hatcheries. The chicks may be picked up at the hatcheries on May 22 or 25th. Application blanks may be obtained at any of the four hatcheries participating- It is not necessary for an applicant to be a member of a 4-H or FFA club but the 4-H and, FFA specifications must be followed in raising the chicks. 3 Persons Escape Serious Injuries Three persons escaped serious injury last Sunday night when an oil truck, driven by Frank Hanks of Fairbury overtook a passenger auto driven by Carl Wahlen of Filley on highway 77 several mile; south of Marysville. Mr.

Wahlen and his wife who was with him were given first aid treatment for bruises and abrasions at the hospital in Marysville before returning home. The truck driver was uninjured. The back of Wahlens' car was crushed against the front seat. The truck overturned and skicjded about 350 feet down the road. Over 4000 gallons fuel oil in the transport were lost.

By Wes Gallagher ARNEBURG, Germany, April 26 army shells now are falling occasionally a mile or two east of the Elbe river in the area of Arneburg, 48 miles northwest of Berlin, where the west bank is held by U. S. Ninth army troops awaiting a juncture. Red bursts of the Russian shells are part of a great drama of the war which can be seen from the top of a bluff here at Arnehurg. Berlin's death throes arc speeding a tide of panic-stricken humanity to the Elbe in front of the Russians moving west- wai'd.

Except for the occasional Soviet shell, fired from no one knows where, the river is quiet. Stops Cross-Kiver Fire (This dispatch suggests that a union of Russian and American forces northwest of Berlin might be made simultaneously or even before expected junctures in the Barby and Dresden areas southwest of the capital. Just how many miles away the Russian artillery might be. however, was problematical.) The Americans stopped cross- river shelling when Germans appeared with white flags in this sector and begged to be taken prisoner. On the opposite baak of the Elbe, across fields leading to woods, are long lines of men and women as far as I can see.

There are soldiers, civilians and escaped prisoners of war. There are German soldiers who have thrown away their guns while fleeing- in the hope of surrendering to the U. S. Ninth army rather than fall into the hands of the Red army troops. There are American soldiers captured in Africa and Italy.

There are British soldiers captured at Dunkerque, Belgians, French, Russians, Poles, Czechs representing every phase of the war. A few hours ago they were in prison camps. Now their captors are begging them for help. Then there is the debris of Hitler's empire, rich nazis, poor farmers, and officers trying to hide their shame in civilian clothes. There is no' question of party rank now.

There is only one boat operating on the river below, a fair-sized motor launch run by Lt. Col. Eric E. Bischoff of Lockport. 111., of the 102nd division, and it is just nibbling at the mass of humanity now, taking on only American, British, French and Belgian escaped prisoners of war.

Germans sit by the hundreds, hoping to get across into the American lines. Thousands Way These refugees tell of German soldiers fighting civilians for a place in Berlin's subway shelters, of no heat, lights or water in the city, of rumors that Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goetabels is dead and of seeing German soldiers running away and leaving the SS to do the fighting. A German battalion commander came over the stream with one boatload and wanted to surrender his entire He was kept, but the rest will have to swim for it or wait their turn. That turn will never come, as the influx of American prisoners of war grows hourly. The first arrivals say that thousands more are on the way.

Wing West Of Capital Drives To Rathenow Miles From American Positions On West Of Elbe River. GIRLS JOIN BATTLE LONDON, April 26 Russian troops battled against weakening nazi resistance in the center of flaming Berlin today as the German high command announced that a Soviet wing west of the capital had driven to Rathenbw, 14 la miles from American positions on the west bank of the llbe. The advance to Rathenow, an optical instrument manufacture ng center on the Havel river, represented a 23 mile gain westward for the Russians from Nauen.

LONDON, April 26 based RAF Liberators struck the German redoubt city of Freilassing last night in an explosive followup to the historic bombardment of Hitler's eagle nest refuge and his chalet near Berchtasgaden.

American and British airmen were jubilant over the coordinated strike at Hitler's hideouts yesterday. The sumptuous chalet was destroyed by a direct hit from a six-ton bomb. Heavy, deep-penetrating explosives were hurled upon his Kehlstein mountain fortress with unannounced results. Freilassiruj is a road and railway junction 13 miles due north of Berchtesgaden, which itself is now only 72 miles ahead of American ground troops and a few miles more from Russian vanguards, Two Planes Lost It was disclosed today that 350 RAF Lancasters were used in the strike at Hitler's properties, rather than 200 as originally reported. They wpre escorted by both American and British fighters.

Heavy bombers of the U. S. Eighth and 15th air forces threw nazi defenses off guard with attacks upon communications all around Berchtesgaden. Two RAF planes were lost Sixteen Eighth air force bombers including several in an attack upon the Skoda armament works at Pilsen, were shot down by antiaircraft fire. The 15th air force lost 15 heavy bombers from al operations yesterday.

All Meat Except Mutton Take Red Points WASHINGTON, April 26 will get even less meat next they'll have to give up red points for all kinds except mutton. In addition, margarine and most cheeses will cost more points, as will some meats. Announcing new point values today, OPA estimated that percent of the available meat supply will require ration points.

This compares with percent nowf Leaves Only Mutton The action leaves only about 5,000,000 pounds of mutton on a point-free basis. On a weekly basis, the total supply of all meats available for civilians during the May rationing period beginning Sunday and ending June 2 will be about 2y a percent less than at present-. OPA predicted supplies of veal, lamb, mutton and pork will be. a shade larger but said civilians will get 9,000,000 pounds less beef than in April. In extending the scope of meat rationing beginning Sunday, OPA specified that cull and utility grades of veal and lamb and all grades of the less popular cuts of veal and lamb, such as breasts, shanks, necks and flanks, should have point values.

Margarine will coat 12 points a pound instead of so will all cheeses classified in group such as Cheddar, swiss and brick. Changes in meat values include increases of from to 2 points a pound for most cuts of all grades of lamb and veal, increases of a point a pound on most beef steaks, decreases of 1 to 2 points on beef roasts and other beef cuts. Utility grades of veal and lamb will carry the same point values as the higher grades. Price Administration Chester Bowles said point values were restored to the additional grades and cuts of meat in order keep point increases on the more desirable cuts at a minimum and "to give every person the best chance possible to get his fair share of all the meat that is available for civilians." Plan New Program While calling the meat supply situation "difficult," Bowles predicted "definite improvement" in distribution "in the weeks and months just ahead" as a result of the new control program now being put into operation. Bowles estimated civilians will have about 214,333,000 pounds of all meat weekly during May compared with 220,000,000 pounds weekly during April.

Geneva Rules To Be Abided Part Of Supreme Law Of U. S. So War Department Has No Other Choice. WASHINGTON, April 26 Notwithstanding mistreatment of American prisoners by Germany and Japan, the war department re- terated to congress today its determination to abide by the Geneva convention covering prisoners of war. Gen.

R. W. Berry, deputy assistant chief of staff, tqld the house military committee the Geneva convention was a part of the supreme law of the United States and so long as it was, the department has no choice but to abide by it. Bound hy Orders The department, General Berry added, is bound by the convention unless congress orders otherwise. General Berry made the statement after Representative Clason (r-Mass) cited cases of mistreatment of American prisoners by the nazis and asked if the United States intended to change its policy with regard to German prisoners as a result.

General Berry was the first witness as the committee started a general investigation of prisoners of war. Chairman May (d- Ky) said the investigation would be limited at least for the present to American treatment of axis prisoners. There have been charges, the Kerituckian said, that axis prisoners have been "coddled and given extra fine treatment." LONDON, April 26 Russian troops have captured the port of Stettin on the Oder Estuary, Premier Marshal Stalin announced tonight. It widened farther on the west the encircling belt thrown tightly aronud Berlin. Girls Join Fighting The inner edge of this ring gripping the capital now extends roughly 15 miles from east to west and from seven to eight miles from north to south.

As Russian artillery concentrated a withering fire on the heart of Berlin, blasting targets northward from the Tempelhof airport through the famous Tiergarten to the Reichstag sector, the Hamburg radio said that young German girls had joined in the bitter street fighting. Under the dateline "Berlin," a Soviet Tass news agency dis- patch said: "Men of the Red army today are fighting in the heart of the German capital." eUeavy Fighting On The dispatch gave" but probably referred to the'vl-' cinity of the Alexanderplatz, the center of the capital's business" district. The German high command reported heavy righting inside Berlin at the Goerlitzer and Schlesi- scher railway stations in the south, and Charlottenburg in the west. Throw In Reserves By enemy account both sides have thrown in reserves in the fighting in the industrial districts of Tagel and Siemensstadt in the northwestern part of he ciy. The Germans also reported fierce fighting on the southern fringes of Stettin, on the Oder estuary north of Berlin.

Russian eye witness accounts said that nazis disguised as priests, grocers, ajid school teachers were sifting into sectors of Berlin held by the Red army. Russian army engineers, moving into the Berlin region, were widening rail tracks to a gauge to fit Russian locomotives and freight tears. One Russian dispatch said that the Germans were bombing their own capital. Mrs. Fannie Clements Succumbs At Lincoln Mrs.
