Truman White House Staff Taking Shape Roosevelt's Staff Aiding Successors Washington, Apr. 18. -- (UP) - The White House today was suffering from an acute attack of growing pains. President Truman's staff was taking shape, his daily routine was in the process of being worked out and reporters were trying frantically to keei> up witli Ihe new chief executive. Aided by the White House staff which has operated 12 years in behalf of the late President Roosevelt, Truman's chief assistants now are Col. Harry H. Vaughan, 51, military aide; Matthew J. Connelly, 37, appointment and confidential secretary; and J. Leonard Reinsch, 36, press and radio secretary. Connelly, formerly chief investigator of the Truman committee, and Reinsch, a radio executive, have been associated with Mr. Truman only in recent years. Vaughan knew tlie president as far back is the last war. In addition to those new presidential aides, Mr. Truman has asked White House secretaries Stephen T. Early. William D. Hassett and Johnathan Daniels to fitay on for the time being. They have agreed. Hassett is in the hospital, temporarily, for treatment of a leg ailment. President Truman also said he had promises of cooperation from Judge Samuel 1. Rosenman. one of President Roosevelt’s closest advisers, and Adm. William D. Leahy, Mr. Roosevelt's personal chief of staff. However, it will be up to Vaughan, Connelly and Reiiisch to put the new president before a people accustomed to paying scant attention to a vice president and hence not too well acquainted with Mr. Truman. Says German Front 'Ceases To Exisf Statemeht Made By Nazi Commentator London. Apr. 18. —-(UP) —A Nazi radio commentator eaid today that Ito.lll the east and west fronts have "ceased to exist” as result of Allied breakthroughs from both directions. “Wliat is left is a number of battle sectors now in the process of forming,” the commentator. Max Krull, said in a Berlin broadcast. “With the enemy breakthroiigh from the west and another from the east and wedges pointing from both directions toward Berlin, the organic structure of the German front lias' ceased to exist. The terms west and east fronts have lost their meaning," Krull said. Krull said there were at least nine battie sectors left: 1 Folress Bavaria, “which will play a big part in military history," and northern Italy. 2 — Bohemia and Moravia, also linked up with Bavaria. 3— -The Netherlands. 4 — The coastal region of Emden. Wilhelmshaven and Bremen. 5— The Wescrmuende-Uelzen-Wit-teuberge triangle of north-central Germany. 6 Central and southern Norway. 7 -Brandenburg province, which includes Berlin. B—SaxonyB—Saxony and -Franconia, including Leipzig and Dresden.

9—The Ruhr and Harz pockets, "where German resistance will He down large enemy forces for some lime lo come.’’ The emphasis placed on Bavaria strengthened speculation .that, the Germans planned to make their filial stand in the Bavarian and Austrian Alps around Adolf Hitler’s mountain-top retreat at Berchtesgaden. o Emergency Permits To Indiana Teachers 10 Percent Teach On Emergency Permits Indianapolis, Apr. 18 —(UP) — Dr. Clement T. Malan, state superintendent of public instruction, said today that approximately 10 percent of Indiana school teachers were functioning with emergency permits.

Tlie emergency permits were issued to 848 elementary and 1,249 high school instructors because of the wartime teacher shortage. Malan also announced the expansion of a program of guidance and training for returning war veterans, and a schedule for a traveling aviation school and demonstration of army air forces aircraft, equipment. He said that Indiana's 220 vocational agriculture departments would make available a series of courses in farming to help discharged servicemen prepare for that occupation. Tlie superintendent added that a committee on a< crediting schools for training returned vet-’ erans under I lie G. I bill of rights was enlarged and that it iiad approved additional schools for veteran training.
