Eisenhower By BRUCE MTJNN ' United Press SUff Correspondent PARIS, April 21 (UJ9 The campaign which shattered Qer- - man resistance in the west was carried out precisely on the pattern pat-tern laid out in advance by Gen. JOwignt D. Elsenhower personal' ly, his chief of staff revealed to day. "Of all the campaigns I have ever known, this one followed most exactly the pattern of the commander who planned it," Lt ' Gen. Walter Bedell Smith said at press conference. He said the double envelopment envelop-ment of the Ruhr was unparal leled in military history and was the highlight of the campaign just fought. He said the entire campaign west of the Rhine was based on the . proposition that Germany had two hearts Berlin and the Ruhr. Despite opposition from many advisers, Eisenhower chose to strike at the Ruhr In a dou- ble envelopment from the north and south. This pincers operation was facilitated fa-cilitated by the good fortune of getting the Remagen bridge intact, in-tact, opening the way across the Rhine. "The ideal of every military commander is to execute a dou ble envelopment of this sort," Smith said. "A maneuver of this kind nobody ever expects to do, but now it's been done." He conceded that German mistakes mis-takes aided in carrying out the strategy devised by Eisenhower. He said Eisenhower wanted to pinch off the Ruhr, but at first had no intention of staying there and fighting if the resistance proved too strong. German Mistakes The first German mistake, Smith said, was a repetition of their Normandy error in holding the Miss of their troops to fight in the Ruhr, although they were being cut off. The second mistake was .made at Remagen. Having given up the bridge, the Germans obviously expected the Third army to cross the Rhine end try to strike out from- the Remagen area. Instead Eisenhower ordered Fatten to cross the Moselle and swing southward, cutting the rear lines of the Germans in the Sear.. "The decision of the supreme commander to cross the Moselle and clean up west of the Rhine was the second most critical decision de-cision of the campaign." Smith said. He said the Germans' Third mistake was in expecting Eisen hower to push northward from the Remagen bridgehead. They massed their forces to defend the Ruhr from that direction, and when the (First army swung wide around the Ruhr to the east, the fate of the industrial region was sealed. Learned Judges Admit They Don't Know What Art Is Eisenhower In Front Conference With Montgomery PARIS. April 21 (U.R) Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Field Marshal Sir Bernard L. Montgomery Mont-gomery conferred for nearly an hour yesterday on a captured German airfield a few miles from the front.

The freed soldiers had milled around the airfield during the conference waiting for a glimpse of the two military leaders. One of them, TSgt. Clyde Tinker, Tin-ker, Erwin. Tenn., described the JbtaMftfffeecejyed from a gestapo captain and Elsenhower asked: "Would you recognize him if you saw him again? "Yes." replied Tinker, "And I'd like to kill him." "Just let us get him," the supreme commander said. "We will take care of the rest." Von Papen Carried No Peace Proposal PARIS, April 21 (U. Baron Franz Von Papen, . Germany's master schemer in two wars, may have put himself in the way of being captured by the Allies, but he had no peace proposals in his pocket. This was revealed today by Lt. Gen. Walter Bedell, Smith, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's chief of staff, at a press conference. He said Russian officers took part in the questioning of Von Papen, whose capture was announced a week ago. .Asked when he made up his mind that the tide had turned against the Germans, Von Papen said it was when the Allies landed land-ed in Normandy. It was brought home to the German people and general staff when they crossed the Rhine, Von Papen said. By LEE NICHOLS United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 21 (U.R) Three learned judges of the United States court of appeals for the District of Columbia today-brooded today-brooded over the case of the shapely Varga girl. That scantily-clad young lady, together with her sponsor Esquire magazine among whose pages she appears, has been waging a long court battle for her right to travel under a second class mail permit. Postmaster General Frank C. Wilker held some time ago that the curvesome female and her 50-cent magazine for men were not the sort of reading matter for which congress provided cheap mailing privileges. Esquire took the case to court, lost out in a lower tribunal and now is in process of getting a de cision from an appeal court. If it fails there it wlu ask the supreme court to rule on the long-limbed lady s artistic worth. Yesterday the postoffice was hard-pressed by appeals Judge Thurman Arnold, formerly famed as a trust-buster, who shot rapid questions at government Attorney Marvin Taylor. What Arnold wanted the gov ernment to answer was, is the Varga girl art? "They're drawn wltn a men technic that is unusual," Arnold asserted. "Why can't they be called art?" "I don't know what art is," Taylor replied. Judee Justin Miller tnen wanted to know whether inner feelings Were involved In deciding decid-ing what art was and Taylor said no. Taylor maintained the government gov-ernment had not attempted to distinguish between good and bad art and literature in deciding who should get mailing rights. Bruce Bomley. Esquire's persuasive per-suasive attorney, insisted the postmaster post-master had tried to decide the worth of art and had added the uriliiWul requirement that second class mail matter must be for the public's good.
