TAYLOR Sprrial Corresponds nt mt Tk Minneapolis Bandar Tribana HAMBURG Quick changes are going on in Germany behind our lines. Coming through burning German towns with Gen. Patton's spearhead tanks was one thing, and seeing the same places again after our initial occupation is another.

First, of course, the rubble has gone off most of the streets with amazing speed, shoveled back into the broken shells of the blasted buildings or piled high along the edges of the walls. These Germans are quick at cleaning up things and right now they have plenty to keep them busy. FEELING OF RELIEF But it is the people themselves who matter. They represent the real change. In the first impact of our arrival and occupation, you sensed a certain feeling of relief within the average town.

Week by week the townspeople in each place knew we were setting closer to them. Then they would generally experience their heaviest bombings of war if their town was in our path. On the day we came the bombings would stop and soon even small arms fire would be over. Next, everyone would see that our advanced columns had passed on and this meant to every German in every occupied town that the worst dange of the war were over for him. NOT A WELCOME He did not shout his relief when he saw us, but he showed it, and you felt it in town after town as STORE REMAINS OPEN MONDAY UNTIL 9:00 P.M.

Clark told his Fifteenth army group the fall of this ancient city of 270,000 population which through the winter's bitter fighting stood as a defiant German symbol of resistance "represents to us the beginning of final victory in Italy." Troops smashing into the city met only light resistance and by Saturday night the great pursuit of the Germans was well under way. San Giovanni, 10 miles northwest of Bologna, was overrun, and Polish troops went on to score gains northeast jot the city.

SPRING FILLED LIVING ROOM SUITE 1 i II i days of Vichy, when he was exchanging messages with the President through U. S. Ambassador Adm. William D. Leahy, the marshal has considered that he could always count on the President's good will.

Petain had intended to ask the Germans to put on a plane for Spain, where he expected a hearty welcome from Generalissimo Francisco Franco, a former Petain pupil at the French war school, and to whom he was French ambassador from January to May, 1940. From Spain, Petain had intended to communicate directly with Roosevelt. Last word on Petain's future rests with Heinrich Himmler and anyone acquainted with the Gestapo chief's methods realizes that he would rather hand Petain over to French troops than allow the marshal to seek haven in Switzerland, which appears his last prospective refuge. Nazis believe a treason trial for the former chief of state would split France in two and have devastating effect on the country's future.
