War Today By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press War Analyst surprise crossing of the Rhine by American First Army units south of Cologne is one of the most brilliant coups of the entire war and one which may shorten the connifet greatly, especially since it synchronizes so perfectly with the hew Russian offensive across the Oder against Berlin. No wonder General Eisenhower is "delighted," since this is the sort of thing a commander dreams of but hardly dares hope for. Details are lacking but apparently a hardy and quick thinking officer flung his men across the river onto a terrain which was so rugged that the Hitler. ites never thought an attempt would be made there.

As a result they were not prepared to defend the position. Since the first spearhead of the Yankee adventurers went over the 1 diver about dusk Wednesday, 8 steady stream of comrades has been pouring after them. Our bridgehead is said to be firmly established, and our troops are fanning out. This means that at long last both the western Allles and the Russians are inside the final great natural barriers of Hitler's vaunted inner fortress. Thus the further, defense of the Reich now depends largely on the German fighting man and his equipment.

In short it's a battle with bare hands. The Allied objective is the annihilation of the Wehrmacht which soon will be caught between two advancing fronts, unless it flees to southern Germany, The fact that the point where the Americans crossed was virtually undefended is significant of Nazi Field Marshal Von Rundstedt's shortage In manpower. No matter how unlikely an enemy attack was at this place, the German commander would have guarded it it he could. I However, we shan't have a full gauge of his weakness until we wl.at he does about staging a counter to smash our beachhead. That's his next logical move, and if he can't carry it out in force, then we shall know that he is indeed pretty wel' shot to pieces.

We can discount the three weak and unsuccessful counter attacks the Germans essayed at the outset, bethey were caught off balance. I difficulty will be that withdraws troops from other points along the Rhine to the north, he will invite further Allled crossings at the weakened places. So he's in a nasty position, for his entire Rhenish Line is jeopardized, think we may expect other AlWed crossings of the Rhine to low and the northern flank where the Canadian First Army is fighting seems likely sector for one. Rundstedt's recognition of this possibility is cleprly shown in his fierce detense (of -his bridgehead near Xanten. It the Canadians ar.d British force a crossing of the Rhine there, it will compel the Germans to withdraw their troops from Holland.

a matter of fact, the advent of the American forces on the cast bank of the Rhine below Cologne is likely to compel the Nazis to evacuate Holland in any event, not only to avoid being cut off but because Rundstedt will need all the troops he can scrape together from all points. Evacuation of Holland will be a godsend to England, for the rocket bombs which have been causing death and destruction Britain are launched from bases on Dutch territory. The Allies obviously save much time by the surprise crossing of the Rhine. The cracking of this great barrier normally would be one of. the most difficult and dangerous amphibious operations of the whole war, and couldn't be undertaken without much preparation if the enemy was defending the east bank Sh force.

There still may be hard fighting in further crossings, but the back of Army the job. coup has broken the Holstein Breeders Met Thursday The annual meeting of the IndiAna County Holstein Club was held yesterday at the Community Center Building. J. S. Cornell of BlairsMile, R.

(AP) -The American dash to the Rhine has lifted the lid Germany, on the effects of raids, permitting ground observers to assess for the first time the full extent of the damage inflicted. A check of Cologne, Rhine Industrin! capital; Krefold, textile and silk center; Muenchen-Gladbach, one of the smaller Rhine Industrial cities, and the Rhine River port of Neuss, opposite Dusseldorf, shows: 1. That American and British stra tegic air force claims gleaned from I photographs--such as the estimate! that Cologne was 60 to 80 per cent destroyed--are conservative, .2. That bombings of cities will not break German civilian morale but will so disrupt life in a city and discourage workers that factories cannot operate with even a fraction of efficiency. 3.

That big incendiary raids cause considerably more vital than high 'explosives. I That bombing of railroad yards has not yielded the results expected, largely because of the extremely efficient German repalr system. 5. That bombing of roads has been virtually useless in trying to stop traffic in a country like Germany where there are hundreds good roads. Only in rare.

of such bottlenecks as the Rhine bridges: has the bombing of bridges been productive. Some 75,000 to 100,000 estimated, still living war in population Cologne, prenearly a million. Wandering about the city you wonder where they are living. The Inner circle, bounded by the Kaiser Welhelm Ring, is virtually wiped out. It is difficult to describe such devastation.

But it a New Yorker should wake up some morn-, ing to find every building in Manhattan just a shell and the streets piled with rubble-with no water, no lights, no gas and not a pane of glass in the whole island- situation would be comparablo to that in Cologne, From center of the city and around the port the dwindles off in the suburbs, where there are some buildings with just hole or two in them. Germans in the city estimate that raids have killed or injured 70,000 of them last summer and tall. Blairsville Kiwanis Fetes 65 Farmers Sixty-five farmers in the Blairsville community were guests of the forty-eight members of the Blairsville Kiwanis Club at a dinner mecting in the Lutheran Church, last evening.

Across Rhine With Yanks Determined To Hold Footing Continued from page one tention. These were tired and muddy men in mud-spattered vehicles. They joked because all American soldiers in the shadow of danger.

They knew they were going to cross the Rhine, and everyone wanted to be among the first. and they joked labout this. But there was tenseness this elation. They are certain the Germans still have a last effort in store and none or these Americans wants to get killed now, with victory so clearly in sight. Even in such a historic event as the crossing of the Rhine, the infantrymen were resigned to the truth of that old Arm adage: "Hurry up and wait." They had little eye for the beauty--the deep valleys with quaint, antique villages nestled among them the towering church spires, the imposing cliffs because that beauty has been disturbed by the scores of knocked-out German vehicles and military cquipment: littering the streets pf the little villages.

Dead Germans lie in their own freshly shed blood-they were too late in getting back across the Rhine. The German civilians stare in con sternation at the parade of American might, but they show little sym pathy for their dead soldiery, These people are too sick of war and bloodst.ed to care much now who gets killed. They only hope dully that the war will be over soon, The crossing grew more dangerlous by the hour. The German big gun fire, sporadic though it may be, took its toll. The Yanks streaming toward the crossing site can see a procession of American ambulances going in the opposite direction the victims of the fighting east bank.

Several sol: diers forget the somber things to come, for and wear silk top hats found in some bombcd-out ruins. Veterans stretch out in trucks and catch some badly needed sleep, As the column crawls through a village near the river you notice for the first time the Doughboys standing watchful-eyed in the door ways, You know then that German shells have been bursting nearby. The road curves slowly down from the last tree-covered hill and as it turns suddenly you see an open space criss-crossed by empty German trenches. There is one, small, knocked-out German antitank gun.

Then, around a bend. with shocking suddenness you see the Rhine itself in all its majesty. sweeping in sinuous beauty as far as the eye can reach among the rounded hills and high cliffs. "There she is," shouts a soldier. i Every man in the long column loks out at this magnificent river, whose life-giving beauty and productivity has caused immeasurable grief throughout centuries of war.

Beyond its spring-floodded waters lles the way to Berlin and victory and home. A German shell crashes into the crossing site far below, where hundreds of tiny. men and tiny machines work their way across the river. Seconds afterward the noise of the shellburst echoes up. As the column winds slowly down the steep hill.

(AP)A plan to use funds from wastepaper sales to comfort sick and wounded veterans returning at a rate of more than 30,000 a month was set in motion today. Sponsored by the American News paper Publishers Association, the plan is part of a "DoubleV" paper salvage drive announced last night by Edwin S. Friendly, chairman of the Newspaper committee. It was endorsed at campaign-opening ceremonies by spokesmen for the Army, Navy, WPB, Red Cross, Boy Scouts and Women's groups.

Churches, clubs and other coopcrating groups will part of the salvage proceeds devote, providing radio headsets, movie. equipment, home to patients in hosbooks, games and. telephone, calls pital in each community. "More than 1,000 soldiers are being brought back to our hospitals said every the day from the combat zones," General, Maj. Gen.

George Army's Deputy Surgeon emphasizing the lift such "extra comforts" can bring. "Not until next June do we expoct the rate of discharges from our hospitals to equal the number of, sick and wounded pouring in," he added. The serious threat to war production presented by thee lag in paper collections of last three months was emphasized by Hiland G. Batcheller, WPB's chief of operations. Saying the bulk of this salvage goes into munitions containers, he added: "If we don't get the needed increase we are simply going to have 1o bring strong men back from the fighting forces and send them into the forests to cut pulpwood.

There is no other choice." Friendly estimated this year's demand will exceed last year's 000-ton salvage record but said collections are running 8,000 tons weekly under those of 1944 because of a slump in interest, rail embargoes and bad weather. The Double-V program "A to speed victory and a to aid veter-may prevent the shutdown of paperboard mills which now are running dangerously low on paper stocks, Friendly said. LONDON, March German radio said today that Hitler had visited the Oder River front. The Transocean agency said he had "convinced himself personally of the fighting spirit of the German soldiers on the Oder." "A number of photos of, the visit have been published in the German press," it added. The broadcast also sald that Hitler had assured himself of German defensive measures.

Invasion of Normandy: Hodges WAs pouring troops by the thousands (17 words censored) Into cast bank bridgehcad, which presumably was a good five miles deep and wider than that. Up to latest reports at supreme headquarters--covering action well into Thursday cvening -the Gertrans neither had been able to rally enough strength for a lighting stand of nor to get enough troops to the danger point for serious counter-attacks, although three small ones were mounted.

The crossing was made and the bridgehead was expanded under some mortar and small arms fire. This was neither heavy nor particularly effective. Remagen is miles south cast Cologne and 20 miles northwest of Coblenz, where American Third Army elements stood a bare four miles away. No great German cities lie imme'diately beyond Remagen, but a drive castward would flank great Ruhr basin. A smash northward would overrun its citie: and war factories which near the start of the conflict supplied Hitler with three fourths of his arms, A drive southward up the Rhine would encircle the whole Soar industrial district and the Palatinate.

There the Ludendorf railroad bridge crussed the steep bank river, more than 1,000 feet wide, under the shadow of the 626-foot Erpeer Lei Besaltic Cuff where a memorial to Count Zeppelin stands. Supreme (cadquarters declared the exact site of the bridgehend was a matter of military security, since! the Germans obviously were caught off balance. Other First Army divisions teamed with the Third Army in rapidly wiping out a great Eltel Mountains pocket in which perhaps 50,000 Germans are facing doom. The jaws of the trop along the Middle Rhine were only 15 miles or less between Remagen and Mulheim, captured town four miles from Coblenz, where another Third Army established occupation headquarters after the last war. Two-thirds of the Coblenz plain was captured, the rest WaS being overrun with ease and speed.

To the north, Canadian First Army captured the bitterly tested Rhine ferry point of Xanten, mentioned in the Nibelungenlied as the birthplace of Siegfried. The Wesel west Rhine pocket was hammered down to a triangle containing no more than 20 square miles. Wesel itself was within five mile artillery range. The Canadian Army also captured Alpen. The First Army proceeded with the reduction of the last half of Bonn, university city 011 the Rhine between Cologne and Coblenz.

The troops battled also for the last fourth of Bad Godesberg, three miles upriver from Bonn-where Hitter met the late Neville Chamberlain who was seeking "peace in our time" before Munich. The exploits of the First and Third Armies constituted one of the greatest victories in the career of Lt. Omar N. Bradley, manding the 12th Army Group. He had, administered a rapid succession of detents to Field Marshal Von Rundstedt, including the crossing of the Roer, the capture of Cologne und now the Rhine crossing and the possibel destruction of from five to six German divisions caught be tween his armies, commanded by Lts.

Gen. Courtney, H. Hodges and George S. Jr. The Rhine crossing threatened to outflank the industry-packod Ruhr, without which Germany's war potential would reduced from 8 half to three fourths.

Moreover, It brought the battle of Germpation to its penultimate stage. audacious dash to the middle Rhine just northeast of Coblenz outflanked the Saar district and Palatinate to the north. Briefing officers at supreme headquarters explained that the use of the term "bridgehead" for the Rhine crossing means that the foothold is secured beyond the range of light enemy, artillery fire. The main German light field piece is a 77-mlllimeter gun which ranges four miles. This would suggest that the bridgehead had been pushed at least four miles east of the Rhine and about eight miles along its eastern banks, covering perhaps a minimum of 32 square miles.

Front line correspondents made this clear: The bridgehcad was secure. tI was constantly recelving streams of relnforcements. The 'Germans were confused. Opposition was light and desultory at first. Three counterattacks launched when the Germans realized what.

had happened were reeplled. One of the counterblows forced the Americans back 500 yards from a post. but the First Army vetcrens recoiled aud threw the enemy back.

Soviets Within 25 Miles of Berlin, Enter Kuestrin Continued from page' one The Germans admitted the assault had reached the port's "outer defense zone" and declared German naval forces had joined the battle along Stettin Bay. A large enemy column across the bridge was thrown moving, confusion and the Soviet bombers and Stormmoviks strafed the Germans unmercilessly. While the air force stepped up its attacks, Russian ground troops were reported to have assembled boats and landing craft along the banks the Dammscher See, farther north, where a crossing to the west shore may already have started in an outflanking mancuver on Stettin.

The Red army troops were reported working swiftly under constant artillery fire in manning the amphibious thrust toward the area between Stettin and Poelitz on the west bank of the Oder estuary nine miles to the north, At the northern tip of the Damm. scher See Sovict units have rushed into the region where the Ihna River flows into the isthmus and were engaged in hand-to-hand fighting. The Russian high command, meanwhile continued the news blackout on developments on the central front east of Berlin, where the Germans reported Red army units west of the Oder only 25 miles from the German capital, The tenor front dispatches, however, indicated the Russians mighine successful preparing to encircling employ opera- their tions against Berlin. A dispatch in Izvestia pointed to reports that the Russians have killed or captured 300,000 Germans during January and in this type of mill. tary strategy, Pressure against Stettin also was maintained by the Red army from the east and southeast.

Despite hundreds of obstacles and miles of mined roadway the Russians managed to snake their way westward down the Stargard-Stettin highway and breach the outer belt of defenses before Altdamm, castern gate of the Baltic port. Farther southeast the Russians moved on hill positions during the night and by morning had dug in halfway up them. Other Soviet troops had a firm grip on the Oder's eastern bank in the region of Griefenhagen, about ten miles south of Stettin.
