Frankfurt, largely in ruins, was a city of 546.000 before the war and one of Europe's greatest rail centers.

The Frankfurt airfield, second largest in Germany, was in American hands today. North of Frankfurt, the 1st Army was off on a free-swinging tank drive that front correspondents described as one of the greatest concentrated armored offensives in history. 7th at Main River The advance carried across the Lahn River on a broad front and threatened momentarily to break into the big highway center of Giessen. Early today the Americans were less than three miles from the city after capturing Wetzlar, seven miles to the west. At the same time.

American 7th Army armor swept 26 miles along the 3d Army's southern flank and carried to the Main River 35 miles east of the Rhine and about the same distance southeast of Frankfurt. Armored spearheads of both American armies were operating under a partial security blackout because of the almost complete demoralization of the German forces before them. At last official reports the 1st Army was more than 60 miles past the Rhine and General Patton's 3d Army tanks were about 90 miles beyond the river. Authoritative Allied reports and alarmed German broadcasts, however, made it clear Jhat Patton's men at least were anywhere from 100 to 130 miles east of the Rhine and going fast in a multi-pronged drive headed toward the Nazi shrine city of Nuernberg in the south and Fulda in the north At Fulda. which some accounts said already had been entered, the 3d Army would be only 198 miles southwest of Berlin.

Beat Nazis 1940 Pace Everywhere the Allied armies were reversing the Wphrmacht's lightning march across France and the Low Countries in the black summer of 1940 and doing it at a faster pace.

Armored vanguards of the British 2d Army in the north swept forward on a broad front this morning. riding triumphantly through flaming and villages abandoned by the enemy. United Press War Correspondent Richard D.

McMillan reported that "British tank columns were strung out for 10 miles and more along the main roads leading westward across the Westphalian Plains to Muenster and Berlin. British infantrymen everywhere were being shunted off to side roads and farm tracks to clear the main highways for the thundering armor. British Drive on Muenster One British column captured Erie, 19 miles east of the Wesel crossing and 35 miles west-southwest of Muenster. Another force seized Alt Chermbeck, 2Vz miles to the south, and drove ahead another 412 miles to enter the German anchor town of Dorsten. British units between Erie and Dorsten were moving steadily eastward within about 30 miles of Muenster.

Canadian 1st Army troops on their left flank slogged across the swampy Rhine flats to capture Dornich, three miles east of Emmerich and advanced another half-mile to take Vrasselt. Other Canadian units struck northward to within a mile of Anholt, 7 Vie miles east-northeast of Emmerich. The 1st and 3d Armies linked up yesterday at Ehrenbreitstein, on the east bank of the Rhine opposite Coblenz, and shoved eastward to clear out whatever isolated pockets of resistance remained in the path of their armored spearheads. The 3d Army's 6th Armored Division, shifted from the U. S.

7th Army command during the Saar-Palatinate battle, stormed across the Main River into the heart of Frankfurt last night and began a street-to-street mop-up of die-hard Nazi troops inside the city.

Army Ordnance Plants Called Safest in U. S.

Chicago, March 28 (U.R) Despite the dangers of handing exposives, a job in an army ordnance plant is safer than any in American industry, according to Capt. Lawrence W. Schott of the ordnance office here. Mr. Schott said the army plants have the lowest rate of occupational injuries and diseases in the United States.

They give every applicant a complete physical examination and place him in a job he can do safely and efficiently. The job, as well as the worker, is studied carefully to determine the safest and most healthful working conditions ob tainable. In addition, Mr.

"The fact is, they've been expecting them for a long time," declared the diplomat, Victor Gut-xulesco. a former member of the Romanian embassy staff in Tokyo who has just arrived in Moscow.

He said the Japanese did not appear particularly pleased about the prospect of giving shelter to Nazi or Fascist leaders, fearing that it may only make life harder for them than it already is. Farm Aid Held Vital in Reich By HELEN KIRKPATRICK Via Press Wireless To The Binghamton Press and the Chicago Daily New Somewhere in Germany, March 28 Organization of German agriculture is essential if the Allies are not to be faced' with the necessity of feeding many millions of Germans next fall and winter. Failure to tackle this problem irrj Aachen four months ago will undoubtedly mean the importation of foodstuffs to that city this year. If a similar policy is adopted in Cologne and other big cities, the problem will become that much greater. The failure in Aachen arose for three main reasons, some of which will not be present in recently captured cities.

First was the fact that operations slowed down as Aachen was taken and the Rhine-land city remained for some months a frontline outpost. The city itself was under the control of the U. S. 1st Army, but the outlying territory from which Acid Indigestion Relieved in minutes or doubla your money back Whtn eireu iloniach ld cause painful iiiffertt.
