NAZIS FORMING ICIDEJAiS Guerrillas To Be Headed By Himmler (By The Associateil Ptpss) London, Feb. 9 The Germans announced today the execution of another mayor for fleeing his city before the advancing Red army. Mayor Schroeter of Koenigsberg, a small Pomeranian town on the east side of the Oder between Berlin and Stettin, was "hanged for leaving his own town without receiving evacuation orders," the Berlin radio said. The first announcement did not locate Koenigsberg and left the impression that the capital East Prussia was meant.

Later Berlin broadcasts identified the town. Schroeter was sentenced in court at Schwedt, 30 miles south of Stettin. This was the third in a series of Eastern front civilian executives announced by the Germans. Previously the deputy mayor of Breslau was executed and the police president and other officials of Bydgoszcz (Bromberg), the fallen fortress in Poznan province, were executed "for cowardice." The Paris radio said some foreign slave workers had risen against the Germans even as Hein-rich Himmler organized German guerrillas for last ditch resistance orroinet tV AlltnH invaHprc ST left Hank anchor role and hurled eastward against the Reich. Casualties were described officially as light.

Every indication was that the Germans were caught by surprise, at least by the force of the onslaught which was preceded by an 11-hour barrage and bombing and strafing attacks by at least 1.500 planes, many of them heavy bombers. The aerial sealing off of the front made it unlikely that the Germans could get reinforcements up quickly to the new area of peril.

Martin O'Dell, local president, said the strike vote conducted among 1,150 Edison employes by the National Labor Relations board would be disregarded in keeping with the CIO no-strike pledge. A short time before O'Dell's announcement a Regional War Labor board panel headed by Prof. Z. Clark Dickinson of the University of Michigan opened hearings on the case. Both company and union had made preliminary presentation of their sides on 32 issues in dispute over ccntract negotiations, deadlocked since last October.

O'Dell "The decision of the union is made after considerable thought and deliberations on the part of the executive council, in whom the membership vested authority to determine a course of action following results of a secret ballot strike-vote election held Jan. 31. 1945, by the National Labor Relations board. "Situated as we are in America's heart of vital war production, and engaged in the services that provide constant power supply for the needs of our wartime industries, and the comfort and well-being of the public, we fully accept the responsibility vested in us by the employes within the scope of our bargaining units, and our declaration of supporting and maintaining the "no-strike" pledge out of India, the Marianas islands and Western China.

Heaviest recent Japanese losses in the Philippines have been on the Central Luzon plain where MacArthur reported 1.242 dead Nipponese were counted in Munoz alone. Manila is suffering from an acute food shortage, which won't be relieved until the Japanese have been mopped up. Hungry crowds looted damaged buildings and mobbed Filipinos who tried to carry sacks of rice down the street.

A continued water supply was assured by the Yanks who reported Japanese had prepared to dynamite the main reservoir but had never touched off the explosives. Rains dampened scattered fires Thursday. Marlette Woman Dies Of Injuries Marlette. Feb. 9 Mrs.
