National Editorial Association Indiana League of Home Dailies National Advertising Representative, Scheerer Chicago and New York WHEN EAST MEETS WEST A few months ago Berlin was equally distant from the Russian armies in the east and American and British armies in the west. Troops of General Eisenhower's command had swept across France and were contemplating the prospect of storming the Westwall, more than 300 miles from Berlin, and the Red army was held east of Warsaw.

Now the two armies are separated by only 30(5 miles and both are advancing steadily against an enemy which finds it harder and harder to offer effective resistance on any front. There is accordingly in prospect the exciting probability of a union of two great armies which once were held on a line in Russia extending from Leningrad down to Stalingrad on the one side and on the English Channel on the other. No one can estimate even vaguely the lives that have been lost, the blood sacrificed, the suffering endured, the destruction wrought in order that these twro lines might be advanced across thousands of miles to the positions where they now' stand and from which they will advance soon to a union and to victory. Berlin, of course, is the outstanding objective of the war in Europe, the point to which the eyes of all the enemies of Germany have turned during these last five years and more as representing the consummation of all hopes of victory and peace. Berlin is now within the reach of the Russian armies, but there is reason to assume that the fight would be desperate and costly, so the Russians may have decided to encircle the German capital and to proceed toward the west to meet the advancing Allies.

With the Westwall now nothing more formidable than a memory, the Rhine crossed and positions securely established on the east bank, the American First Army should advance swiftly into the interior of Germany, and if there is no stop for a siege of Berlin, the Russian advance from the east should not be impeded seriously. The joining of these two great armies will be one of the great moments of history. While it may not at the same time be the moment of victory, it will bring this high hope much closer to fulfillment. porarily on reserves and on resources of Manchuria and China. But another Nimitz hint suggests what will finally happen.

Japan will be cut off entirely from the Asiatic mainland which supplies her with food, coal and other critical! war supplies. The southern opening into the Sea of Japan is narrow and is guarded by small fortified islands. The northern entrance is a thin gap blocked by the Kuriles. But American strategy undoubtedly is to force one of those entrances, destroy the Japanese fleet in its last refuge and so isolate the Japanese homeland from Jap armies in China. It is a piece of strategy which could not be invoked against Hitler because Germany is at the center of a large land mass.

Admiral Nimitz warns that this will require overwhelming air, land and naval power. This is what America is accumulating in the Pacific. Added to greatly superior American naval power the British announce that they have now In the Pacific and Indian oceans the Battleships Howe, I King George V. Queen.

Chief Mate Charles W. Tuttle of Salem. Massachusetts, a Coast Guardsman with 16 years service, is a handsome man who wears his gold-decorated uniform exceedingly well. When he entered the San Carlos Opera House the attendants overheard a woman exclaim: must be Admiral The attendants promptly conducted him to the royal box. As the evening lengthened, the audience heard that Tuttle was the Admiral, and finally they began asking him to acknowledge their applause of him.

The spotlight was turned on him and the handsome American arose and bowed deeply to 3.000 applauding admirers, proving to the other Americans that in any situation an American fighting man is equal to the occasion.

Should a congressman think first in terms of his own district or in terms of all the people of the country? You probably can get arguments either way.

The following little drama was worked out when House appropriations subcommittee was holding hearings to determine how much money the Agriculture department should have the next fiscal year. The cast of characters: Dr. Hazel K. Steibeling, chief of the bureau of human nutrition and home economics; and three congressmen: H. Carl Andersen, Minnesota Republican; Malcolm C.

Tarver. Georgia Democrat; and James L. Whitten, Mississippi Democrat. Dr. Stiebeling was being questioned.

the conversation: Andersen: your organization made any studies detrimental in any way to the great butter industry in America; that is, have you provided the oleomargarine people with facts, or with presumed facts, which might give them ammunition to lead the people of America to believe that oleomargarine is the equivalent of butter? I am interested in it from the view of a man coming from a dairy state, Minnesota, and I am very much interested to know if your Department of Agriculture is doing anything in anyway toward aiding the propaganda of those who try to tear down the great butter industry, one of the greatest sources of agriculture, and I am very serious in this question because if there is any money utilized by our Department of Agriculture in such a development I want to see it stricken Tarver: as a citizen of the United States and not as a representative of any particular area of the country, I want to ask you me. I favor the spending of money in the Department of Agriculture and by other organizations which are dealing with the subject matter concerning the value of foodstuffs, to develop and to disseminate whatever the facts may be with regard to the value of all foodstuffs with which the department may be dealing and to present the true information to the people who consume the article, as well as the producers, and relating to any subject matter concerning which any just complaint may be Whitten (addressing Andersen): I do not see how you can expect the Department of Agriculture to restrict its investigations just to such things as would not affect some other article or make investigations into some other field, some new field, because if that is to be the policy you I would stop all Andersen: course, Mr. Whitten, you, like I myself, may be influenced somewhat by the section of the country we live Whitten: is very true, and the district I represent produces both Tarver: regard one section of American I agriculture as just as much as any other entitled to look to me as an individual member of Congress for fair treatment, regardless of whether that particular type of agriculture is carried on in my district or Dr. Stiebeling said in her bureau there were several activities, involving butter and oleomar- garine to provide information on the relative food value of the two. There is a stiff tax on margarine, which is made from vegetable oil.

There is steady pressure in Congress for removal of that tax. But the butter interests so far have watched that I pressure fail. Bob Gordon, sports editor of The Columbus Republican, got hold of a clipping from The Detroit News in which a reporter, assigned to cover the Detroit Tigers during their spring training at Evansville, expressed his amazement over the way Evansville ignored the big league baseball players while the state net tourney was in progress. Sam Greene, the Detroit scribe, wrote that the presence of Dizzy Trout, Hal Newhouser and other Tiger diamond luminaries hardly created a ripple of excitement in the downstate city. All the citizens and newspapers in Evansville were following the fortunes of the Bosse basketball team, which won its second straight state tourney last Saturday.

Greene stated that only on one day was there a crowd at the ball park, where the Tigers were working out: That was when a mammoth reception was held for the Bosse the parade started at the ball park! 4 Jfc 4 BAUK-FROM-OVERSEAS SECTION: Fit. William O. Talbert, 30, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter of Manilla, has been returned to the states for treatment after having been wounded twice in the European fighting.

Pfc. present address is Kennedy General Hospital, Ward B-8, Memphis Tenn. The Manilla soldier, who had been overseas 15 months, first was shot in the left hand. He later returned to duty and then on December 12 he was wounded in the right elbow while serving in France. Pfc.

Talbert landed at New York several days ago and then was sent to the Memphis hospital, from where he called his parents. He is a brother of Mrs. Ray Elliott pf this city. Clyde Henley, who owns farm lands southeast of town, reports that the cranes are coming back to the Newsom farm. As far back as he can remember (and 64 years old) Mr.

Henley says the cranes always came into this region for nesting. The first ones to come this spring were seen un the 16th. Some interesting history on the annual migration to the region shows that March 14 is the earliest of arrival and March 24 their Citizen.
