Marine artillery was moved south to supplement army guns in tne heaviest artillery bombardment of the Pacific war. Naval guns ranging up to the 16-inch rifles of ba - tieships offshore also were pounding away at the enemy defenses. The Japanese were answering almost shot for shot and had the advantage of emplacements on two ridges from which they can observe ! every American move. In the face of this murderous cresstire, no Am- ' eriean advances at all were reported in the past 24 houiw. The Japanese were fighting from : caves and underground pillboxes and blockhouses. Almost imposs- . ible to reach with artillery or ! bombs, they have to be dug out ; with flamethrowers and bayonets. AMERICAN !

Apr. 11.—(UP) —British •‘official quartern" circulated a report today that the Nazis were ousting Adolf Hitler and that he was dying. Heinrich Himmler, gestapo chief, interior minister and commander of the German home army, was said to be replacing Hitler as supreme ruler in the reich as the military disaster in the west mounted almost hourly. The semi-official British press association and the exchange tp’egraph agency carried almost duplicate stories of the Nazi split and attributed them to "reports reaching official or authoritative quarters in London." Sources close to the British forj eign office said they had no knowi ’edge of the reports and told the j United Press the matter looked ! like “utter rumor." Even if the rumor turned out to be true, these sources said, it would make little difference in the course of the war. It was possible that the reports came from members of British coni-1

Never-1 theless, there was nothing new in German propaganda to leud credejioe to reports of Hitler's disposal. "It seems certain that a grave split among Nazi leaders is developing." E. P. Stacpoole, lobby correspondent of the press association, wrote. ( "Foreigners who for some time have been in very close touch With , Germany arc also convinced that ' Hitler is today a dying man. They report he is looking terribly ill. Some wonder whether he will ev?r ; ' be captured alive." Stacpoole speculated that Hitler ' might commit suicide or be assass-! inated “by some of his own people | turning against him." He said Ger- i man morale was broken and th» German people only wanted the war 1 to end. The exchange telegraph story j also said it was "doubtful if Hitler ever will be captured alive.” "Foreign observers who have had direct contact with leading members of the Nazi hierarchy -ire convinced that the Nazi party is! falling to pieces and have not hesi-1 fated to pass on this considered! opinion to official qnartens in Lon-' don." the dispatch said. — 0 Governor’s salaries range from! $3,000 in South Dakota to $25,000 i in New York.

With the liberation of the colony, it was disclosed that a Catalina flying boat ret.cued two American women doctors and their families from the island ou Feb. 10. They were Mrs. H. W. Wade and Mrs. John H. Hanks, and the latter’s three children, j James 11, John 3, and Julliette, 'ls months. Their addresses in' ■ the United States were not avail--1 able. The doctors revealed that the 1 colony had about 5,000 lepers before the war, but 2,000 of them were unable to stand Japanese j treatment and either died of malnutrition or tried to escape. They said the Japanese had confiscated nearly all the colony's medical supplies. On Luzon, the Japanese forces were cut into small isolated pockets in the southern hills by the American drive to the east, coast. While organized resistance was broken, the enemy stragglers banded together for suicide banzai . charges rather than surrender. —■■■■■■ 0 Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

REACH AGREEMENT I -- ■ — T (Continued From Page One) An operator source said the new agreement was to run for one year —contracts previously have run two years—and would thereafter be reopenable on 20 days notice. He said it also included these provlsions: Premium pay of four cents ant hour for first shift work and six cents an hour for second shift. No differentials are now paid. A vacation payment of $75 annually to all miners. The present payment is SSO. A seven-hour day at $1 an hour with time and one-half pay for the eighth hour of work at $1.50 more for the ninth, which is computed as underground travel time. The present WLB-ordered agreement provides pay tor an estimated 15 minutes travel lime at twothirds the rate and overtime premium pay only after -10 hours of work in the week. o— — — Cop’s Too Realistic Columbus, O.
