I Hitler appealed for every matt, woman and child in Germany, the ailing ar well as the healthy, to t ome to the aid of the reich against the Red army, which even as he j spoke was plunging across the eastern approaches to Berlin. "I expect every German to do his ' duty to the last. " he said. "I expect him to render every sacrifice ' demanded of him." However grave the German crisis may be at the moment, Hitler said, "it will finally be mastered by our unalterable will, by our readiness for sacrifice and by our abilities.' He predicted that Britain not only "will fail to tame bolshevteta, but her own line of development will run more and more on the lines ot this disintegrating dis-j ease." "They will never get rid of the; specters which they raised front 1 the steppes of Asia." he said. “Al! small European nations which, believing in the promises of the Allies. capitulated, now face complete extinction." o Road To Berbr By United Press The shortest roads to Berlin from advanced Allied lines: Eastern front: 58 miles (from Soldin. by German report).

Four State Highway ■j Board Members Quit Resignations Asked By Governor Gates Indianapolis. Jan. 31 —(UP) — I Governor Gates announced today that he had requested and receiv- '! ed the resignations of all four ’ j members of the alate highway I commission but that he had not ! yet accepted them. i Commission members who offered to retire were chairman Samuel C. Hadden, I)., Indianapolis: Jap Jones, D., Fort Wayne; Albert Wedeking. R.. Dale, and Thomas McDonald. R., LaPorte. Although he said that he lead asked the bi-partisan board to retire. Gates emphasized that "no ! radical changes are contemplated I immediately." j Gates said he requested the i members to resign because "the change in administration requires the establishment of present, administration policies in the highway department." "My request for the resignation ■ of the commissioners did not in any way imply that the present administration of the highway department is faulty and in no way reflects upon the ability of the present commissioners," the governor said. "The administration, however, has certain definite policies and programs which it wishes to initiate in this important state department," Gates explained. Gates added that the commission had been "very cooperative" and he appreciated “their good attitude." Gates made the announcement shortly after a Republican-spon-sored measure to give him hiring and firing power of the commissioners was introduced in the senate by Sens. John. W. Van Ness, R.. Valparaiso, and Harry M. Shull. 11.. Auburn.«, The bill would ahtfiid the state highway act to provide that the four commissioners serve at the will of the governor and it would set their salaries at 86.000 an- • nually for four-year terms. Van Ness said that, despite the' developments in the t commission, ne still would press for passage of the highway bill because “it eledrs up some of the commission's powers, particularly in acj Atiiring laiid." "Thi< 'proposed bill also provides the commission with a salary raise of 8800." Van Ness said. o YANKS FIGHT TO i (Continueil From Page 1) fields hidden in the waist-deep snow to reach the German towns o' Kisternach.

Kenneth McKellar, D„ Tenn., a leader in the anti-Wal lace camp, also favored prior notion on the nomination and said be expected Bailey to follow that course. “It will be- -disposed of right away,” be stH'd. “I haven't the slightest idea'that Wallace will lie confirmed;" W'a.llucc’s friends did not dispute McKellar's prediction in

event the nomination Is first called tip. Sen. Allen J. Ellender, La., said the only solutioa would be for the president to issue an executive order separating the Reconstruction Finance COril.' and other loan agencies from the department before the j senaite meets tomorrow. •'Only that way can we hope | for Wallace’s confirmation," he said. Sen. Claude Pepper, D.. Fla.. ! another Wallace supporter, also j hoped for presidential interven- , tion, saying that Mr. Roosevelt’s endorsement of the George bill would “expediate matters."
