While giving full evidence of his cooperative attitude in a meeting with democratic leaders of both Houses, the new chief executive at the same time made it clear he is not retiring from the field. Rather, he stepped into the current legislative picture by telling his visitors he stands fully behind the general legislative program of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Diplomatic Pouch Ever since the Yalta conference, the Russians have had their TJ. S. experts busy studying Truman. Apparently they realized.

They made the same careful check on Roosevelt in 1932, one library of congress article in Asia magazine by Roosevelt on Japan being thumbed thin. The Jap embassy delivered the text verbatim to Tokyo believe that the Russian scrutiny of Truman helped influence their switch on Poland. Anyway, last Saturday the Russians suddenly agreed to welcome representatives of four major Polish parties plus the communists into the Lublin government. They also decided to send Foreign Minister Molotov to San Francisco, a move for which Roosevelt had pleaded is one diplomatic line-up being discussed if Jimmy Byrnes succeeds Ed Stettlnius as secretary of state: Stettlnius to London as ambassador; John Win ant from London to Paris; Ambassador Caffery, who muffed things ixauue, to be transferred to Cuba; Ambassador Braden from Cuba to Under Secre-tary Joe Grew would resign.

April 19 Stabilization Director William H. Davis approved today a general wage increase of five cents an hour for 50.000 textile workers in 54 northern and southern mills. In approving an order of the War Labor Board authorizing the increase, Davis described the need for greater production of textile goods as "of almost unique significance in its critical relation to hold down the cost of living." The War Labor Board order pro vides a minimum rate of 55 cents an hour and an increase of five cents an hour in rates above the minimum. Since the present min Imum rate is 50 cents an hour.

MV-S. Army The Twenty-Fourth U. Corps launched a powerful attack against the solid Japanese line on the southern portion of Okinawa yesterday and gained up to fiOO yards, the Navy announced to day. This broke a 13-day deadlock in the southern sector. One of the heaviest artillery and naval gun bombardments ever un dertaken in support of troops pre ceded the ground Battle ships, cruisers and lighter Navy units joined with field artillery for the preliminary blasts.

A great cover of carrier planes protected the Seventh. 27th and 98th Infantry divisions moving forward against stiff resistance. By noon the right and left flanks had advanced 500 to 800 yards. The village of Machinato was taken. Te Japanese line is more- than four miles deep in places and extends about five miles from the east to the west coast of Okinawa.

The communique acknowledged that the enemy line was organ-zied in great aeptn and designed to exploit the defensive value of the terrain, which is cui up by ravines and terraced by escarp ments. Further progress by the Marines on northern Okinawa and by army forces on Ie Island, to the west, was reported. Nimitz also announced a raid by army Mustangs yesterday on At-sugi airfield in the Tokyo area, in which 21 enemy planes were shot down, two others probably, 26 planes destroyed on the ground and 35 others damaged aloft or aground. A large cargo ship was left sinking and a medium sized ship was set afire. The Mustangs met moderate to intense ack-ack.

Marine Corsairs and Hellcats attacked installations in the Palau islands and Helldivers hit a Japa nese on Yap Island in the western Carolines. American army, navy and marine casualties for the Okinawa campaign from March 18, when carrier aircraft started pounding Japanese defenses, to April 18 totaled 7.933, including 1,482 dead, 4,750 wounded and 1,756 missing, (Continued on Page 1, 2nd Sec.) In nounced that 16 miles to the northwest fortified Halle, city of 220,000, also had been captured. The U. S. Seventh Army, driving against the Nazis' great mountain redoubt around Munica, captured Nuernberg's twin city of Fuerth, with a population of 85,000.

The defenders of Nuernberg itself were pressed back into less than a mile square pocket in the center of the old walled city from which there was no escape. American infantry expected to celebrate Hitler's b6th birthday today by completing the occupation of this old Nazi partying ground of 430,000 population; Th city was encircled when American units met south of the city, and tanks breaking loose 25 miles southwest of Nuernberg were '10 miles from Bavaria's first city of Munich, where Hitler launched the Nazi movement. One German report said that on the west flank, the Seventh had opened a new offensive and had penetrated into Aalen, 40 miles east of Stuttgart and 30 miles north of the Danubian city of Ulm. Resounding successes were recorded on the opposite end of the western front, where the British Second Army's armored spearheads thrust northward 20 miles to with-ing 'five miles and easy artillery range of Hamburg, Germany' second city and- greet est port. Driving" up to the Elbe river 20 miles southeast of Hamburg, the British drenched with artillery fire the last bridge across the stream at Lauenburg, thus sealing off from the rest of the Reich the defenders of the ports of Bremen, Emden and Wilhelmihaven.

The U. S. First, Ninth-and 15ih Armies inflicted the worst defeat, of Hitler's armies since Stalingrad with the final smashing of the Ruhr pocket, capturing 316,930 prisoners and 11 Kenerals. The final figure may exceed the 330.000 taken at Stalingrad, one of the wars decisive battles. Bradley's report that the 15th Army was in on the Ruhr cleanup was tne luw.

From City London (Friday), April 20 W)' The Soviet High Command officially announced' late last night that a great Berlin-bound battle was raging before the German capital and Nazi reports said Russian tanks were thrusting toward Strausberg, only 10 miles from the burning city.

Clamping operational silence on what Berlin has called "the greatest Red Army offensive of the war," Moscow's nightly war bulletin announced only that Red Army forces had crossed both the Oder and Neisse rivers east and southeast of Berlin. The communique did not reveal the depth of Soviet penetrations due east of Berlin, but said that fighting had been raging for three days for the "capture and extension" of bridgeheads. This was the first Moscow announcement that bridgeheads had been secured. Along the Neisse river, Moscow revealed that the towns of Forst, Moskau and Weiswasser, 58 to 72 miles southeast of Berlin had been captured. But the Germans said that these forces had driven farther west, crossed Berlin's own river Spree and plunged within 55 miles of the Americans.

Moscow described the drive across the Neisse as in the "Dresden direction," but regarding battles due east of Berlin the Soviet communi-aue said only; "During the past three days in the area of the central grouping of our troops, there has been reconnaissance in strength which went over to fighting for the capture ana extension ot Driaseheads on the rivers Oder and.Nesse."

Beginning Fanatical Baffle Says Hitler Toss Away Rules Urges Herr Goebbels London, April 19. UPi AdolfHit ler declared today on the eve of his 56th birthday that "we are now starting a battle as fanatical as that which we had to fight for our ascent to power years ago," and Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels called on Germans to discard warfare rule3 and use every means to defend the fatherland. "The rules of war of past centuries have become out of date," Goebbels said in his weekly newspaper Das Reich as quoted by the Nazi Transocean agency. "In the battle against the terrible enemy all means are' proper, right and allowed." He added that the war "has entered a phase in which only the utmost effort of the nation and everyone can save us." Replying to birthday greetings from Uauieiter Kariholz at embattled Nuernberg, Hitler's' message added that "however great and crushing the enemy's superiority may appear to us, we will break it just as we did in those days," the official DNB German News agency reported in broadcast. Holz's message to Hitler said that "the last battles for the town of (National Socialist) party meetings have begun" and he pledged himself to "stay in this most Germanic of all towns and fight and sacrifice my life." The agency said Hitler awarded Holz a decoration for this "exemplary behavior." Goebbels said in a broadcast speech that the Allies were ready "to administer the coup de grace" and asked Germany never to for-, get Hitler, whom he eulogized as if he were already a Nazi martyr.

Leipzig Is Leipzig's position as a cultural hub of Germany led Goethe to name it "Little Paris" in his "Faust." Since then many war industries were added, to. Little Paris and Allied bombs had been earmarked regularly for this sixth largest city of the Reich, until its capture yesterday. Developed as a rail center because of its lack of a navigable waterway, this city of 700,000 possesses one of the largest railway stations in the world, with lines radiating to all the great German cities Berlin, Frankfort on the Oder, Breslau, Dresden, Regens-burg, Cassel and Magdeburg. Fighter City Manv of the Ruhr industries were moved to Leipzig, which was estimated last year to have produc 38 per cent of Germany sin gle engined fighter planes. The city also has manufactured chemicals, surgical instruments and textiles, and had extensive ma chine shops and railroad yards and buildings.

The TJ. S.

91st Infantry Division seized Mount Adone, dominating key terrain before their goal, and overran Mount Deifrati in a two day struggle. The 10th Mountain Division, lunging toward the sime city in violent fighting, cancelled a planned large scale aerial assault on Ger I man positions designed to aid their advance. The mountaineers asked that bombing be forgotten "due to their position in the target area." The British, advancing up the Rimini-Bologna highway southeast of their goal, were reported shelling the railroad station in Bologna from their new positions. East of thit city, New Zealand units of the 8th Army consolidated their gains just south of the Idice river, last water barrier between them and Bologna. Still farther east, the 8th Army hammered forward against defended water lines in an attack within 15 miles of Ferrara, guardian city to the approaches of the Brenner Pass.

On the western' coast of Italy, American units cf the 92nd Division pushed ahead toward the naval base of La Spezia despite intense artillery fire from a Bianca, the promontory south of that naval base which guards the entrance to the harbor. American heavy, bomoers of the 15th Air Force switched from close support of the land attacks to execute devastating raids on the Brenner Pass rail line, choking, off any Nazi attempt to withdraw troops from Italy or to reinforce their threatened positions.

Leipzig is the home of the Baedeker guide books, of an enormous book-publishiivj industry, and of the University of Leipzig, founded in the 15th century and reported destroyed last year by bombs. The outstanding reason for the city's commercial importance was its famous spring and autumn trade fairs, in prewar days attended by more than 200,000 business men from all over the world, and comprised of 10.000 exhibitors. Fur Center The city also had world-renowned fur industry. Furs from every part of the glob were sent there for dressing and dyeing, and finally dispatched to sales, outlets through 450 independent wholesale furriers' stores. The city probably dates to a Slav settlement in existence before the year 1000.

During the Thirty Years War, it was under siege six times, and its immediate neighborhood has been the scene of several battles, including the great battle of Leipzig in 1813, and the battle of Breitenfeld in 1631.
