With the two Russian armies drawing up to the Oder on an almost solid front from above Berlin clear down to the Czechoslovakian border, Berlin was imperilled by a powerful outflanking maneuver by Marshal Zhukov from the north and Marshal Konev from the south. The great thrust on Berlin promised to put the Germans vaunted Oder river defense line, over two years in the making, to the ,test, and further strain Nazi strength, already outnumbered by about three to four in the east. In early assaults on the Oder in the Silesian area, German regulars, reenforced by fanatical 16 to home front troops, stubbornly held their ground against the powerhouse attacks of the First Ukranian army, which had been the first to reach the defense line from central Poland. . the varieties being developed for the 32 potato breeding states.

German chemists have produced a rice-lik- e food, mainly made of potatoes and whey. Larger potatoes, of higher vitamin content, can be produced by seed potatoes being treated in chambers. Potatoes are being used to manufacture paper and alcohol in addition to furnishing feed. by-prod- , gas-tig- ht Swine Pox Shows Rapid Increase A substantial increase in swine pox has been reported. Swine raisers should recognize the fact that there are two types of pox virus, says a report of the American Veterinary Medical association. One type, swine pox virus, does not cause many death losses but does undermine the hogs health. The other type, cow pox virus, causes a severe disturbance and a number of deaths. The important step in all cases is to eliminate lice from the animals and the premises, because lice are the actual carriers of this disease. Where there are no lice, there is no swine pox. If lice is present the hogs should be treated with an oil and sulphur solution and quarters thoroughly cleaned and disinfected regularly. there is no eviDeclaring dence yet of any rout in the German retreat, Navy Secretary Forrestal said; They are withdrawing to the great line of defenses on the Oder river . . . where . . . they may fight with the same tenacity and ferocity they have shown in the west. . . .

At the same time, the Germans began to slowly break ground in Alsace to the south, where mixed U. S. and French forces increased heavy pressure on their huge pocket below Strasbourg and threatened the enemys escape roads eastward to the Rhine. ' No less than 100,000 U.

Indicating that farmers yill have to fall back on the same methods this year to meet food goals, OWI said that 1944s high production resulted from intensive use of existing machinery, increased use of. fertilizer, greater acreage and harder work and longer hours, with output per hand 28 per cent above 1940. Reprocessing of some 365,000 young farmers between 18 and 25 for the draft, however, may further complicate the already pressing manpower problem, OWI said.

As long as MacArthur still appeared to be holding back some of his strength, Jap commanders were reluctant to commit sizeable forces into the battle in the Manila region. In one of the most dramatic episodes of the Philippine invasion, picked men of the 6th Ranger battalion and Filipino guerrillas made a surprise attack on a Japanese prison compound behind enemy lines on Luzon, freeing 486 Americans, 23 British, three Dutchmen and a Norwegian. Although over 100 were so weak from malnutrition, disease and old battlewounds that they had to be carried off on husky Ranger backs or in carabao'carts, only two failed to survive the journey to safety. 25-mi- le CONGRESS: Busy Session With of President publication Roosevelts agreement to the sepa- tional Safety council revealed.

Although the death toll showed a drop of 5,000 over the previous year, with the greatest reduction shown in home accidents, authorities were alarmed by the increasing fatalities among children. More than 1,000 toddlers under five were killed, more than in 1941, the Safety council said, while accidental deaths of youngsters from 5 to 14 in the home were high.
