t-Mile Advance
The third army made advances
of as much as 22 miles In the past
24 hours, fanning out east and
southeast through rolling terrain
on the eastern fringe of the Thu
rlngian Forests.
Fighting throughout the area
had settled down into a series of
small-scale battles for isolated vil
lages by-passed by Patton s ram
paging Fourth, Sixth and 11th ar
mored divisions.
The Fourth Division was moving
against Erfurt, 130 miles southwest
of Berlin, after capturing the air
craft manufacturing center of Go
tha, 13 miles to the west, Fourth
armored columns also were riding
eastward on the Frankfurt-Leip
zig-Dresden superhighway running
just south of the Gotha-Erfurt
line, and other units of the division
took Ohrdruf, seven miles south of
Gotha.
The 11th armored division was
on and perhaps across the Werra
River in the Ahlstadt area, 27
miles south of Gotha and little
more than 00 miles from the north
western comer of Czechoslovakia.
On the Fourth’s north flank, two
columns of the Sixth armored rac
ed ahead 22 miles to enter Muehl
hausen, 136 miles southwest of
Berlin. The Germans offered only
feeble opposition in Muehlhausen,
and the town was believed to be
firmly in American hands today. *
The Sixth Division was crowding
close on the heels of a Nazi troop
column retreating eastward with
3,000 Allied prisoners of war, and
there was a possibility the Yanks
overtook the column in Muehlhau

United Press War Correspondent
Robert Richards reported that au
thorities in Gotlia were preparing
a headquarters there for a number
of German “big-wigs'’ enroute
from Berlin when American tanks
broke into the town.
Unknown Nazi dignitaries might
already be trapped in the by-pas
sed City of Eisenach, 16 miles west
of Gotha. A small band of SS
troops was still fightln ginside Ei
senach early today with a fanatic
ism that suggested a prize more
valuable than the city was at stake.
Richards said the German com
munications and supply system
throughout the Third Army front
appeared to have broken down
completely as a result of Patton’s
slashing tank thrusts.

The quartet of husky ‘loudspeakers” above put in a word for Great
Britain that echoed in the depths of the Mikado’s palace. The big runs,

“Since, If captured under these
conditions, they would not be en
titled to protection afforded by the
laws of war," he said, "it is my
conviction that, except for extreme
fanatics, they would largely sur
render.
"But so long as any of the Hit

litical power, I believe the effort
will be to continue resistance not
only throughout Germany but in
all of the outlying areas including
the western port areas of France,

Yanks Slowed
(Continued from Page 1)
The hills command much of
southern Okinawa. Troops pushing
through a misty rain toward one
600-foot height guarding the ap
proaches to Shuri ran into heavy
artillery, machine gun and mortar
fire.
Heavy Jap Artillery
For the first time since the inva
sion Sunday, heavy Japanese artil
lery and mortar fire was screaming
into the American front lines. The
enemy appeared determined to hold
Machinato and Yonabaru airfields,
both within a mile and a half to two
miles of the advancing Americans..
The veteran 32nd regiment of the
Seventh division on the eastern end
of the line above Naha smashed the
first organized resistance of the
campaign yesterday with the cap
ture of a ridge above Ishado on
Nakagusuku Bay naval anchorage.
The ridge was described as a
strong outpost defended by mortars,
machine-guns and some artillery.
The 184th regiment, meantime,
was attacking a Japanese pocket es
timated at company strength—pos
sibly 200 men—on the west coast.
Flame-throwing tanks were spear
heading the attack.
The Army advances on the south
ern front, coupled with a marine
push to the north deep into the
narrow isthmus between southern
and central Okinawa, gave the
Americans control of 80 square miles
—one sixth—of the island only 330
miles southwest of Japan.
The campaign already was 12 days
ahead of schedule, with the inva
sion forces controlling 17 miles oi
the west coast and 12 miles of the
east coast, including half the shore
line of the vital Nakagusuku Bay
naval anchorage.
The 24th army corps’ line in the
south, as of yesterday, ran from
Uchi Tomari on the west coast, four
and a half miles north of Naha and
one and three quarters miles north
of Machinato airfield; through
Kamiyama, in the center, to a point,
just north of Nakagusuku village
and two miles north of Yonabarr
airfield on the east coast.
An interpreter told United Pres.?
War Correspondent E. G. Valens on
Okinawa that Japanese civilians
thought the garrison planned to
form a strong line across the nar
row isthmus north of Naha and
Yonabaru.
Troops were withdrawn from the
northern coast of Nakagusuku Bay
several weeks ago because it was an
ticipated the Americans would land
there, civilians said. The civilian
population of Naha was evacuated
a month ago following heavy ai*
raids, they reported, and the mil
itary command moved inland.

the plaintiffs to the plea was sus
tained, however, by Judge Carl Fos
ter, now a state referee. The high
court ruled the demurrer should
have been overruled and the abate
ment plea should have been sus
tained.
A judgment in their favor was
requested by the defendants last
Friday, but Judge Frank P. McEvoy
denied the request on the ground'
the plaintiffs should have an oppor
tunity to try to correci the defect
found by the high court in their
complaint.
The civil action was started near
ly five years ago when the city
board permitted an addition to the
East Main street building, which
houses the First National store. The
addition was sought so the store
could be enlarged into a super
market. The addition crossed the
business zone line and extended
into the Wales street residential
section. The plaintiffs, owners of
property on Wales street, objected
and claimed the addition was con
trary to the zoning ordinance.

The dramatic announcement of
the cabinet’s resignation followed
soon after, however.
The Koiso cabinet came under
particularly heavy fire of elder Jap
anese political leaders, including a
number of former premiers and
members of both houses of the Jap
anese diet, following the start of
B-29 raids on Japan.
These leaders pressed for a more
vigorous prosecution of the war, in
cluding total mobilization of Japan's
manpower and resources, and openly
criticized what it called the laxity
of the Kotso cabinet.
Okinawa Final Straw
The government took a number
of steps toward meeting the de
mands and appeared to have satis
fied its critics up to the time of the
Invasion of Okinawa.
A new totalitarian political party,
the political association of great
Japan, was formed with Koiso’s
blessings.
By the more rabid of his former
cities last month and it was pos
sible that any new government would
be drawn from Its ranks.
Among the members of the Koiso
government, sworn in July 22, 1944,
only five days after Tojo’s resigna
tion, were Mamoru Shigemltsu, for
eign minister and greater East Asia
minister; Field Marshal Oen. Sugl

Eisenhower conceded that it was
“always possible’’ that there might
be ‘a sudden upsurge of popular
resentment against the war’’ which
would lead to easier pacification of
Germany.
“My opinion,” he added, “is bas
ed upon the supposition that our
experience to date provides our
best basts for future prediction. At
best we should be prepared for the
eventuality described."

Frontier reports said Hitler him
seld already had retired from his
headquarters outside Berlin to
Berchtesgaden. The huge victory
maps which formerly lined the walls
of Hitler’s underground study have
been torn down, these reports said.
A Zurich dispatch to the London
Daily Mail said Hitler alternates
between long spells of silence and
violent, screaming attacks of rage,
He sleeps rarely and his face is
lined with worry, the dispatch said.
It added that Hitler was believed
scared of British parachutists.
Another Daily Mall dispatch, this
one from Stockholm , said Nazi
Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph
Goebbels was injured when the
automobile in which he was riding
last Saturday near Berlin crashed
into the rear of another in which
assassins killed two Gestapo Guards
and their chauffeur.
The dispatch speculated that the
assassins had been gunning for
Goebbels, but halted the wrong car
in error. The German government
was offered a $40,000 reward for in
formation leading to the arrest of
the culprits.
Reliable sources last night iden
tified the Gauleiter Greiser, who the
Soviet War News said had been
captured by the Red Army at Poz
nan, as actually Arthur Greiser,
Nazi overlord of the Poznan dis
trict and one of the meet detested
of the Nazi war criminals.
Greiser ranks next to Rudolf Hess,
former Deputy Fuehrer of Germany
and now in British hands, as the
highest German war criminal yet
captured.
Former president of the Danzig
senate, he played a key role in de
livering the former free state into
German hands in 1939 and was re
warded by being given the Poznan
Post.
Among the crimes for which he
was wanted was the shooting of 100
Polish political prisoners in 1942 in
retalliation for the killing of two
Gestapo men by a Polish sergeant.
It was taken for granted that the
Russians, or possibly the new Polish
provisional government, would try
to execute Greiser.

The aerial aaaaulti were todies
tive of the strength of the blockade
which MacArthur said was com
pleted with the selsure of Tawl
Tawl, at the southern end of the
Sulu archipelago and only SO miles
from Borneo.
The long chain of blockading air
fields extends more than 1,000 miles
from the northern to the southern
tip of the Philippines and stretches
2,000 Vnlles eastward through New
Guinea.
It brought the Asiatic coast within
short range of bombers from the
Philippines, MacArthur said, and
left the South China Sea open for
easy coverage by planes and sub
marines.
"This cuts off enemy sea traffic
to the conquered possessions to the
south and severs the so-called em
pire life line to the east Indls,”
MacArthur added.
He explained that the blockade
line was a successive series of belts
extending for thousands of miles
which Japan "finds It Impossible to
pierce.”
"Already our blockade has sunk
many hundreds of thousands of tons
of enemy shipping,” he said, “and
with the acquisition of the Tawl
Tawl base Is now in complete oper
ation.
"For many weeks it has been dif
ficult for Japan to ship oil, rubber
or other essential military commo
dities from the southwest Pacific to
the homeland or military supplies
from Japan to garrisons in those
waters and as the air pressure of
our blockade reaches Us peak such
traffic will become practically Im
possible.
"The entire Dutch East Indies are
now isolated not only for exploita
tion but from the enemy reinforce
ment and supply."
MacArthur also disclosed that
American troops were moving rap
idly across the Southern Lupzon to
