RAF Mosquitos Set Record for Bombing Berlin Hit Besieged Reich Capital Six Times as Climax to Daylong Blitz LONDON, April 21 (AP) RAF Mosquitos set a record for bombing Berlin last night, hitting the beseiged Reich capital six times as the climax of a day-long blitz on German railways by more than 3,000 planes. Three times were the most Berlin ever had been raided in one night before. Last night's attacks, made without loss of a single aircraft, brought to 76 the number of raids on Berlin in the last 58 nights. More than 600 American Flying Fortresses yesterday slammed 1,600 tons of bombs on seven key outposts in the city's defense perimeter. Eighth Air Force headquarters announced its planes had dropped 51,385,550 pounds of high explosives within Berlin's limits in 19 attacks since March 4, 1944.

American bombers were back over Germany for the ninth successive day. Brighter Outlook On Boxcar Tieup WASHINGTON, April 21 (AP) Middlewestern grain representatives believe they've succeeded in getting more empty boxcars rolling their way. And this, they think, will be a big help in solving their grain transportation problems. Representatives of governors, utility commissioners, dealers and millers from 11 states came here last Tuesday to tell a senate Interstate Commerce Committee about the box car shortage. This shortage, they said, was causing millions of bushels of grain to spoil.

During the week they were assured by the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) that they would receive relief, and Director J. Monroe Johnson of the Office of Defense Transportation (ODT) (announced westward movement of cars has been stopped up from 1,425 to 1,990 cars daily. Officials of the Association of American Railroads (AAR) disclosed today the number movinc westward reached more than 2,400 cars on Wednesday. The mid-westerners insist they need at least 2,500 a day, saying that many are required to handle last year's grain, piled on the ground and cramming country elevators. The Negro Baptists of America maintain two theological semi naries, 15 colleges and 13 junior colleges.

LONDON, April 21 (AP) Russian shells are falling in Berlin, the German radio said today, and the siege of the capital has begun. The announcement of the shelling was made by the German Transocean Agency. Meanwhile. Moscow dispatches said that the Nazi defenders of Berlin had fired the forests outside the city in a desperate attempt to halt tiie Russian tank armies grinding through suburban defense lines. The German radio said a decree had been issued in the doomed capital requiring all men and women unable to reach their customary places of work because of the curtailment of transportation Lt report immediately and build anti-tank obstacles and dig trenches.

Barricades are already blocking many streets of the town and are being strengthened and supplemented continuously," the broadcast said. Dy German account the Russian assault had carried within seven miles of the city limits. Other Soviet forces, racing for a linkup with American armies south of the doomed capital, made sensational gains across the Nazi escape corridor between the Spree and Elbe Rivers. They drove to within 18 miles of Dresden, Moscow announced. Forces of Marshal Gregory R.

Zhukov's First White Russian army smashed strongpoint after strongpoint west of the Oder at the "very gates" of Berlin in perhaps the greatest tank battlea of the war. Peace riots were reported to have broken out inside the German capital as Hie rumble of approaching Russian heavy guns was punctuated by incessant blasting from Hied bombers through the night. The Germans said the Russians were thrusting ahead in Berlin's suburbs on a are and had re.iched llanglesberg and the Wrrnouchen area seven miles east and seven and a half miles northeast, of the capital perimeter. Urge George for Treasury Post P.y FRANCIS J. KELLY Washington, Apt a 21 (AP) A quiet boom was under way today for the appointment of Senator Walter F.

George (D-Ga) as Secretary of U10 Treasury. Prienus of the senator disclosed they had urged President Truman to choose the Georgian if Henry leaves the cabinet. 'i tie president's reaction was not known. Nine days ago, when he tooii ihe oath as chief executive, he all members of Mr. it oil's cabinet to stay on in-dri'itiitely.

Nevertheless, there is "ocd reason to believe that a number of changes are in the making. An intimate personal friend and ik ij-hbor of the late president, Morgenthau may decide to step after the 7th war loan and clear the way for Mr. Truman to choose a new fiscal adviser. Such a decision would hardly surprise capitol hill. Morgenthau, treasury chief for 11 years, apparently ii'-ver found the correct formula for getting along with Congress.

Diplomatic quarters contended By ELIZABETH TOOMEV INDEPENDENCE, April 20 (AP) lresident Harry is. TiU' man has a kiss coming from his former high school English teach er the next time they meet the kiss that he didn't got on gradu ation day because it went only to the one in the class who had distinguished himself.

The boy on whom Miss Tillie, as teacher Miss Matilda Brown was known to her students, be stowed the kiss back in 1901, was Charles G. Ross, the president's newly appointed press sec retary. Truman and Ross telephoned Miss Tillie from Washington Thursday night so she would be the first to know that her two former student would be working together again. They recalled she had kissed "Charlie" because he was the high ranking stu d.nt, with a promise to do the same for any other member of the class if they distinguished themselves. "The next time I see you there'll be one president of the United States I can say I've kiss ed," Miss Tillie told President Truman.

The twinkle in her eyes as she related the conversation belied the 75 years she grudgingly admitted. When Charlie and Harry gradu ated, Miss Tillie predicted that if anyone in the class of 45 had a chance to be president it would be Harry Truman. She admits she was just joking and had no idea it would ever happen. "Charlie was the outstanding student in that class," Miss Tillie recalled. "Harry was an excel lent student, too not so brilliant as Charlie, but determined and a hard worker." It was his determination, plus an avid interest in history and politics, that caused Miss Tillie to pick Truman as a potential presi- dent.

i "I started out by calling him Mr. President," she related, "but I'm afraid I went right back to calling him Hairy before we fin ished talking. Ross took the phone part of the time but the President did most of the tallcing. Ho asked Miss Tillie if she remembered how everyone in the class had looked up to Charlie Ross and added laughingly, "I'm getting a great deal of fun out of Charlie calling mc Mr. President now." Another member of the class that graduated from the two-story, red brick high school in 1901 was Bess Wallace, now Mrs.

Truman, the president's wife. Clare Boothe Luce, now a con-gresswoman, was Mary Pick ford's understudy in 1913 in David Bcl-asco's Broadway production, Good Little Devil." The first census in the United States was taken in 1790. and Shot to Death "There were almost 300 men in the barracks. The guards saw that soup was served to all and then while they were eating quickly hung blankets up outside the windows. Other SS men ran into two doors, threw cans of inflammable acetone over the prisoners, and then set the building on fire.

"It went up like a tinder box. I could hear my friends screaming and praying as the flames seared them and they tried to run through the doors and climb through the windows. "The SS guards and one ges-tapo man were ready. They fired into both doors and every window." I walked over to the ruins of this 40 by 150 foot building and saw the charred skeleton, more than 25 at each door. They had burned into a mingled mass of bones.

One skeleton heag'lifted above the others and its blind eye-pits stared sightlessly under the warm spring sun. Two miles away young German mothers were trundling babies peacefully along American patrolled streets. The barber continued: "So many prisoners managed to run out of the building with their clothes flaming that the guards began to throw in hand grenades. Some prisoners managed to crawl out on hands and knees and burned to death blindly on rolls of wire." I walked over and found four crisped, burned bodies resting on sharp spikes which had no power to hurt flame-blinded merjroast-cd to death. One man had bitten his finger in half in his agony.

Another, whose sufferings were erased by a bullet through his head, had stuffed the end of a burning cloth into his mouth. Blood from his head wound had run down tod put out the flames. Japs Fight Stubborn Defense Action Against Yanks Driving on Naha By AL DOPKING fiVAU, April 21 (AP) Fight-iqg on southern Okinawa raged fiercely today as Japanese troops fotiglit a stubborn defense action agiinst three American divisions dnving toward Naha, the island's cwital. jdm. Chester W.

Nimitz's com-rnjmique yesterday said 15 American ships of ah types were lost dijriiig Okinawa operations between March 10 and April 18. The Japanese lost 100 vessels, among them the prized ton battleship Yamato. Added to this total in sea-land-uir warfare were blasted Japanese planes. American losses included five destroyers, a destroyer transport. two minecralT, a gunboat, four landing craft and two ammun tion vessels.

Despite terrific casualties from artillery preparation for the southward push of the 27th, 9Gth and 77th divisions, the enemy of southern Okinawa was resisting stubbornly. The 27th past Ka- kabu Ridge, was mopping up by passed pockets of Japanese. The 27th advanced yards in the first 24 hours and was only 800 yards from the Machinato airstrip, norllicast of Naha. In the center of the threepronged drive the 9(ith was bucking rough terrain, its right flank delayed nearly a half hour in starling because of a fierce enemy artillery bombardment. Men of the 7th after a 1,400 yard advance, were inching toward Yonabaru airstrip, a bare 200 yards from its fringes.

Molotov Due For Conference WASHINGTON, April 21 (AP) Soviet Foreign commissar V. M. Molotov was expected to arrive today for a big three foreign ministers conference preliminary to the United Nations mooting open ing in San Francisco Wednesday. loughest and gravest question on the long list of problems to be discussed by Molotov. Secretary of Stale Stcttinius and British Foreign Secretary Eden is allied policy on Poland.

There was some hope that the Russians would hack down on their twice-presented demand that the present provisional government in Warsaw be invited to San Francisco. American diplomats were prepared to stand firm in their refusal to admit the War saw group, until it is reorganized along the lines laid down at Yalta. British-Russian-American talks on establishment of a new Polish government stalemated in Moscow several weeks ago and will be landed on here over the week end. Although there still is no indication of what can be expect ed. Diplomats also were awaiting Molotov's arrival for release of a three-power warning to Germans on atrocities which allied have found mounting in horror as the Nazis slide down to defeat.

Calling Cards Held In Falzone Probe JEFFERSON CITY, April 21 (AP) Two calling cards on which Sen. Joseph A. B'alzone (R), Clayton, allegedly scribbled steps necessary to shove a beauty shop bill through the legislature and the figures of "some financing" to do it, today were held in a safety deposit box by a Senate Investigating Committee. The committee, headed by President Pro Tern M. C.

Third Army troops, smashing in to Czechoslovakia, captured Asch today In a drive toward the munitions cities of Pilsen and Prague. At the same time Moscow dispatches declared Soviet and Am erican outriders were but 25 miles apart south of Berlin. The latest word at supreme headquarters put the two forces within 40 to 45 miles of a linkup. Three allied armies the French First and the U. S.

Seventh and Third hammered southward to ward the Nazis' Bavarian-Austrian redoubt, and fought within 70 miles of Munich and 30 from Lake Constance. Asch, just inside the old Czech border, fell to Third Army units fighting to cut off the Redoubr from Czechoslovak war factories Asch is 60 miles from Pilsen. George S. Patton's trodps farther south in Grufenworh were 58 miles from Pilsen and 125 from Prague. Red army front dispatches said Russian and U.

S. patrols were as close as 25 miles south of Ber lin, and a junction on the Elbe 75 miles south of the German cap nai was Deueveu imminent. The best information at allied headquarters was that 40 to 45 miles still separated Russians northeast of Dresden from U. S. First and Third army forces along the Mulde River east of Leipzig.

But it was clear that the two forces now could meet almost at will, perhaps within the next 24 to 48 hours. Poughboys were 15 to 20 miles from the Elbe opposite the Russian wedge, and the Soviets were reported only 25 miles from the Elbe. A British correspondent with the U. S. Ninth army declared the muffled thunder of Russian guns 1 could be heard.

Two Ninth Army divisions opened a flank attack this morning west- of Wittenberge, about midway between Berlin and Hamburg, and thrust halfway through the Gartower forest. The 84th Infantry, in a seven mile gain, cleared Prezelle, 15 miles west of Wittenberge, on the Elbe, and the 15th armored gained up to three miles. Diesdorf and Abbendorf were recaptured, and infiltrated enemy forces were mopped up. General Eisenhower quickened his drives to crack open the areas where the Germans may make their last great stands the northern port belt and the southern redoubt. Central Philippines Drive Virtually Over MANILA, April 21 (AP) With the death of 5,000 Japanese on Cebu Island, Gen.

Douglas Mac-Arthur announced today the "virtual conclusion" of the central Philippines campaign. Liberated in this 33,000 square mile visayan islands area arc more than 6,400,000 Filipinos. This leaves the "only remaining enemy organized resistance in Mindanoa on the south and upper Luzon on the north." the communique said. "Our losses in this campaign were exiraorcunaruy ngni, aue largely to the enemy's continued inability to diagnose our point of attack and to understand our local tactics of combat," MacArthur de clared." He has seemed bewildered and confused and although one of the most tenacious of fighters, has permitted himself to be constantly surprised, divided and destroyed in detail without being able to inflict more than a minor fraction of compensating losses." Morgenthau' Son on Ship Attacked by Japs OKINAWA, April 20 (Delayed) '(AP) The destroyer on which Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau's son is serving was attacked by Japanese bombers today but futilely. Enemy planes flew over the warship northwest of Okinawa in darkness at 4 a.

m. They dropped one bomb which missed widely. This was the second time during the Okinawa campaign the ship has been under attack. A torpedo attack missed it a few days ago. Lt.

Robert Morgenthau is the destroyer's executive officer. His ship is in the same Okiniwa force as the destroyer escort of which Lt. Com. Franklin Roosevelt, is captain. Alligators' ears, found directly behind the animals' eye are concealed and protected by flaps of kin.

43rd Division Labeled "Secret Weapon" By RUSSELL BRAINES WITH FORTY-THIRD DIVISION, EAST OF MANILA (APj The kids out here meet you with a question: "Why doesn't the Forty-Third division get more publicity?" It isn't particular to this outfit. Correspondents have bumped into the same query from men in numerous organizations assigned to the often little publicized jobs of making brilliant victor-its complete. But maybe what some of the boys in the Fifty-Third say will give you un idea. Pfe. Walter Toozkl, New Britain, brought up the whole thing.

It was on a lonely road, deep in the hill country behind Antipolo. Alter a month's bat- I tling, doughboys hod pushed back to the fourth range of Japanese fortified hills, cleaning out hundreds of eaves. "We get all sorts of clippings back from our folks," said Too-zkl. "But none of 'em had anything about the Forty-Third. There's plenty about other divisions.

Nothing about us. Folks are writing all the time, asking if we're still in the war." Sgt. Thomas Garrett of Dan ville, had the same idea. "You know what they're calling us, because no one ever heard of the We're "Mac-Arthur's secret Sgt. John L.

NEA Meets to Act on Freedom of Press qiHCAGO. April 21 (AP) The National Editorial Association, representing 5,100 publishers of smaller dailies and weeklies, met today to act on a freedom of the press resolution. Association members yesterday at their streamlined, curtailed meeting, praised the efforts of Kent Cooper, executive director of the Associated Press, in behalf of freedom of the press the world over. They also elected Charles L.

Ryder, publisher of the Coble-skill, N. Times a president to succeed W. Verne McKinney, publisher from Hillsboro, who was elevated to chairman of the board. WASHINGTON, D. April 18 After weeks and weeks of argument, after amendment after amendment was offered, debated and killed, after reservation after reservation was offered, after the Senate discussed the matter in a committee of the whole and later as a Senate itself, the Mexican Water Treaty was given ratification of the United States Senate about an hour ago with seventy-six Senators voting for it and only ten against it.

It takes a two thirds majority to ratify a treaty. Immediately after the treaty was disposed of, the Senate renewed its stand for deferment of farm labor by re-passing the so-called Tydings amendment to the selective service act by a voice vote, no opposition being recorded. In fact the resolution was taken up by unanimous consent after the chairman of the military affairs committee had asked permission to call the extension of the selective service act bill from its regular place on the calendar. This act expires in May and it is necessary to get speedy action on it if it is to remain in force. Several amendments will be offered to the bill.

One is to grant to eighteen year old boys who are drafted under the provisions of the bill at least six months training before they are sent to the front lines. Chairman Thomas of the committee indicated today that he would oppose this bill. Three Senators have their names on the proposed amendment. If it is called for a vote before I start for Missouri, I plan to support it as I feel it will be for the best interest of the military forces of the nation. There is a growing demand that the men now serving in Europe be returned to this nation for rest before they are sent on to the Southwest Pacific.

This comes from those- who have dear "ones in the sector. At the same time, those who have loved ones in the Southwest Pacific area are asking that all possible aid be rushed there to end the other war as soon as possible. In this mutter, I expect, wc arc all a little selfish. Surely the lads, who have been at the front for so long, deserve and must have some rest. That applies to those in Europe and to those in the Pacific.

I cannot think, however, that we should neglect one front for the benefit of the other. Each is equally as important. The war is not a one-sided affair. The Japs must be finally whipped just as the Germans are about to be defeated. Let's not spoil everything now that victory is near at hand by forgetting what wc are fighting for.

In my mail yesterday I had a letter from an anxious mother asking me to go to President Truman and ask him to call the war off she explained that we had punished Japan and Germany and now it was time for the war to end. She added. "I have a son that I want at home." We all have sons we want at home. But I believe we want this war finally determined so that these sons can come home, be come civilians and know that nei ther they, nor their sons or their sons' sons will have to go back and do the job that we as their fathers failed to finish. I'm not militaristic.

But I do hope that we won become a soft-hearted nation just as final victory nears our grasp. Hints V-E Day Is Imminent BRISTOL, England, April 21 (AP) Prime Minister Churchill said today that victory over Germany would be decided by allied military commanders, who will notify their governments "when their task is done." "I do not think it need be long delayed," he added. He emphasized it would bring pause only for a moment a moment of rejoicing and for "the purpose of regathering strength" to carry on the war against Japan.

Boyle Sees Charred Bodies of 220 Prisoners Burned By HAL BOYLE TIIEKLA, Germany, April 20 (Delayed) (AP) The charred bodies of 220 political prisoners who were sprayed with flaming acetone and burned and shot to death just before American troops captured this Leipzig suburb still were sprawled today in postures of agony. Some lay in the ruins of the concentration camp barracks.

Others were caught on the sharp spikes of barbed wire enclosing the camp. Of 324 Polish, Russian, Czech, Yugoslav, French and Italian political prisoners in the camp only about 80 survived. A Czech barber who managed to short circuit the electrically charged barbed wire enclosure led them to safety. This atrocity took place in plant number 3 of the Erla Works, which made Messerschmitt airplane parts. The camp, in the middle of the factory buildings, was a division of the notorious Buchen-wald "murder factory" near Weimar.

From here the Germans were marching prisoners by the hundreds to points farther east until last Saturday. When guards learned the U. S. Ninth Armored Division had swung around east of Leipzig they decided to destroy the last 324 left on their hands. "All were scheduled to be killed that night Tuesday," said the Czech barber, Carl Tykal.

"But for some reason the guards decided to wait until the next day. During the night 30 men managed to climb over the fence. Most of them hid in holes and corners of the factory. "To get them out of hiding the guards went around the next day, carrying big steaming cans of po tato soup ana snouting that all who came out would be fed.
