CO. DECATUR, ILLINOIS Help Wanted -Female 32 Army Reveals Furlough Plan After V-E Day Washington, March 9 (AP) The army plans to bring at least part of the troops in Europe back to the United States for furloughs before sending them to the war in the Pacific. Some discharges are planned. The first official disclosure of the program came tonight from Lieut. Gen.

Brehon Somervell, chief of army service forces. In an address over the the Columbia third Broadcasting System on versary of ASF. Somervell said the problem of redeploying forces after V-E day will be the most difficult yet faced by the War department. Somervell's outline was presented this way: "We will face a big load in moving troops back to this country, handling their furloughs, re-equipping them and shipping them to the Pacific. There will be a movement of men and supply directly from Europe to the Orient." The general said that "we have closed about one fourth of the capacity of the posts we manage in the United States and are holding them ready for troops back from Europe for redeployment or return to their homes." The War department insists, however, that it is utterly impossible to estimate at this time the number of soldiers who will be discharged after victory in Europe.

Approximately 5,000,000 now are deployed in all overseas theaters, with perhaps slightly more than 3,500,000 across the Atlantic. Canteen Filter To Help GI's Chicago, March 9 (AP) A newly developed canteen filter soon may enable GI's on the western front or the Southwest Pacific to obtain the same pure drinking water they were used to at home, the Armour Research Foundation of the Illinois Institute of Technology said today. The filter was developed by the foundation in collaboration with the Hawley Products Co. of St. Charles, Ill.

It removes dirt and bacteria and renders the water tasteless and odorless through a filter device only .125 of an inch thick, which may be removed or changed as necessary. The of supplying good water to advance units has been difficult because they must rely on local supplies which often are dirty and contain harmful bacteria, the foundation said. Chemical often leaves the water unpalatable. In operation of the filter, the canteen is filled with water, chlorinating pellets are dropped in, and the filter is replaced. The water then passes through the filter as the canteen is used.

The filter is composed of activated carbon surrounded by a layer of fibrous felt. The solid foreign matter is removed by the felt the activated carbon renders the water odorless and tasteless. New Farmer City Power Plant Bids Will Open Farmer City, March 9 (Staff) Bids on a new municipal utilities building at Farmer City will be opened by the city council March 26, Mayor R. Augustus announced. Construction on the new $40,000 building will be started this spring.

The power and water plant, municipally owned, has been powered by two diesel engines with a total capacity of 700 kilowatts. A new power unit, with a 700 kilowatt capacity, will double the city's power production, it was stated. "We are running overloaded now," Mayor Augustus stated, "and the combination of the new large unit plus the two smaller ones will enable us to take care of any power load foreseen." The diesel unit is scheduled to be delivered June 1 and will be installed temporarily until the new building is completed. Logan Service Men's Group Elects Officers Lincoln, March 9 (Staff) Mrs. Frank E.

Altman of Lincoln, mother of four sons in service, was elected president of the group of service men's wives, mothers and fiancees which met Thursday night at the Service Center at a buffet dinner. Mrs. Harold Madigan was named vice president; Mrs. Carl Deiss, secretary and Mrs. Duane Rowe, treasurer.

Clothing Classes Sullivan, March 9: Forty-seven women attended the 10 adult clothing classes conducted by Miss Ruth Peters of the home economics department of Sullivan high school concluded recently, it was reported. TUNE IN SUNDAYS THE Old-Fashioned Revival Hour WSOY 10:30 11:30 A. M. International Gospel Broadcast Charles E.

Fuller Director Western Front after seizing the anchor town of Xanten. The Germans said eight British divisions were preparing to storm across the Rhine and strike for the Reich's northern plain outflanking the Ruhr's industries. In the middle Rhine, the Americans had. captured virtually all the Rhine transit center of Bonn, and the Germans had blown the bridge there and two others at Coblenz, fearful that new crossing attempts were imminent. Ninth Army Ready (Continued from Page 1) In fact, one German commentator said the U.

S. Ninth army, which made the Roer breakthrough, had been resting for three days and might drive across the Rhine in a new offensive at any hour. But for the moment the main etforts on both sides were concentrated on the Remagen bridgehead, which the Germans admitted was made possible by their failure to blow the 1,200 foot Ludendorff bridge in one of the most monumental blunders of military history. Associated Press Correspondent Howard Cowan told for the first time how the Ludendorff bridge was captured with the intrepid Americans expecting it to blow up in their faces at any minute. Lieut.

Emmett Burrows capturSeconds after, infantry led by ed the bridge in the midst of explosions designed to destroy it, tanks of the Ninth armored division were racing across. Wires were ripped from explosives attached to the bridge while it was under fire. Company of the 26th armored infantry, commanded by Lieut. Karl Timmerman, West Point, was the first to reach the east bank. Staff officers said that in 48 hours tanks and infantry established a firm hold on the east bank and were driving deeper inland as streams of supplies and reinforcements hurried across.

Crucifixion (Continued from Page 1) tion, was found by police nailed to a cross on the near North Side. Ropes supported the weight of his body. He was spread-eagled with tenpenny nails through both palms. He wore a crudely-fashioned crown of thorny rose stems, and had a superficial wound on the left side. A placard, lettered on brown paper was thumbtacked to the head of the cross.

It read: "Peace on earth. This good man is chosen in sacrifice by the noblest and greatest and finest inspiration for world peace. Let's all follow for the good of menkind. God bless him, By the unknown world controllers." Walcher told police and repeated substantially the same story. to reporters interviewing him later -a man had rapped at his door Thursday night with a story of an auto accident, and sought assistance.

Condition Not Serious The porter, who lived in a basement room, said he dressed and followed to the nearby elevated structure where two other men seized him, saying "here's your chance to die on the cross or get shot." Then, according to his account, they roped him to the cross and drove the nails through his palms. Physicians said his condition was not serious and that there had been little bleeding. Capt. O'Connell said that Dr. Emil Bronner, a chemist, declared he and Walcher had worked together on a plan for reemployment.

The officer quoted the doctor as asserting his companion would be willing to sacrifice himself to gain the ends of the plan. Dr. Bronner and O'Connell planned to interview Walcher again, and O'Connell said the doctor was of the belief it was a publicity stunt. Walcher was born in Austria, and came to America in 1922. He was naturalized Feb.

1, 1928 and worked as a bricklayer, glass blower, and more recently as a porter in the tavern above his room. Davis and Taylor Take Oaths to New Offices Washington, March 9 (AP) A couple of guys who have been trying to quit public office for months wound up today taking on new and bigger jobs. William H. Davis, chairman of the War Labor Board since it was established three years ago, took the oath as economic stabilization director. The WLB vice chairman, George W.

Taylor, was sworn in as chairman. Both sought to resign last fall and were talked out of it by President Roosevelt. UAW Members Vote to Keep No-Strike Pledge Detroit, 9 (AP) Members of the United Automobile Workers (C.I.O.) have voted retain the union's no-strike pledge, Ben Garrison, chairman of a referendum committee of the international union, said tonight. Garrison said rough estimates some 300,000 ballots, which have been sorted into "yes" and "no" piles, indicated a possible two-toone support for the pledge.
