Canadians assaulting the Wesel
pocket were driven from Veen yes-

Seven Armies Active on Rhine
Gen. Elsenhower’s seven active
armies all were on the Rhine and
held more of its castled west bank
north of the Alps than did the
Germans The last of the Rhineland
was as good us lost The Germans
had the west bank only In the Baar
wedge between the Moselle and the
French border north of Strahbourg,
plus a disappearing strip between
Bonn and Coblenz, and the eight
mile Wesel pocket
Elsenhower’s armies were lined up
for a crossing
Some German divisions were still
trying to fight it out along the
Kyll River. Perhaps these were not
yet aware that their supply lines
were broken and their escape routes
cut.
Just north of the Fourth Armor-
ed Division's corridor to the Rhine,
the 11 th Armored Division also
smashed the German lines and rac-
ed halfway from the Kyll to Mayen.
Down the road to the west, mot-
ley columns of German soldiers and

laborers to freedom at last

WASHINGTON. March 8 —(A*)—
Ambassador Robert D. Murphy,
General Eisenhower's ranking ad-
visor on German affairs, has re-
turned from supieme Allied head-
quarters to confer with President
Roosevelt and other American of-
ficials.
The exact nature of his mission
remains unexplained, although It
coincides With an approaching new
period of operations and civilian
control inside Germany. The State
Department says only that Mur-
phy is making one of his "periodic
trips" back to Washington
There is reason to believe, how-
ever, that one of the critical ques-
tions now to be answered is: What
attitude should be taken by Allied
military authorities toward general
cleanup and i-econstructlon work in
Germany with a view first to speed
the march to victory and second
to lay the foundation for long-range
control and pacification of Germa-
ny.
To
a considerable extent Mur-
phy's advice should be a determ-
ining factor in fixing policy on tills
Issue. It must be tied in with the
decisions at the Yalta conference
of the Big Three. It is considered
probable, therefore, that much of
Murphy's work will concern the
Yalta talks
The military long ago received
orders on what to do about wip-
ing out Nazilsm, disarming the paci-
fying enemy troops and people, and
otherwise rooting out enemy mili-
tarism Despite months of discus-
sion, however, no decision has yet
Ixen reached on what to do about
rebuilding or suppressing German
industry and developing a new
German economy.
In short, the Allied army Toni-
n unders know what kind of Ger-
many their governments do not
want but they have few if any in-
structions on what kind of Ger-
many they soon should help to cre-
ate.

I AT Flood waters inched closer to
tops of dikes in this Ohio River
city, but etoewhere along the 1,000-
mlle valley floods neared or passed
their creoto and at some points were
beginning to subside
The Army brought combat tac-
tics into play to keep steadily ris-
ing waters of the Ohio and tribu-
tary Scioto Rivers from gushing
over Portsmouth flood walls
More than 25,000 empty sandbags
were loaded on trucks at Cincin-
nati. to be sped to an air base
at Wilmington, Ohio From there
C-47 transports would drop them to
soldiers and volunteers who have
waged battle to erect earthworks and
sandbag barriers atop existing flood
barriers
The River here was past the 64-
foot stage. It was being held back by
the hastily erected barriers River
Forecaster George Marth said the
crest here would be readied at 64.5
feet late today
Louisville expected a crest of 47
to 47.5 feet, tonight or tomorrow.
Waters of the Monogahela and
Allegheny Rivers at Pittsburgh,
headwaters of the Ohio, dropped
steadily.
An estimated 125,000 persons were
made homeless by the flood.
