S. third army burst across the Isar river at three points on a 60-mile front and streamed southward through the rolling Alpine foothills barely 30 miles from the Inn river valley and Adolf Hitler's birthplace at Braunau. German resistance was almost non-existent at most points as the two American armies plunged into Nazidom's last redoubt. Together the third and seventh armies swept up almost 124,000 prisoners Saturday and Sunday, eliminating a blow at the bulk of the divisions massed in Bavaria for the dying third I‘eich's last fight, Tiie notorious Dachau concentration camp seven miles north of Munich —tiie first and blackest of the political death camps established in the early days of the Hitler regime—was overrun by ' the seventh army yesterday. {There the Yanks killed or captured 30(1 SS guards and liberated 32.000 political and religious prisoners who greeted their rescuers witli hysterical joy.

If the Germans should quit today the chances are good that the heads of the British and Russian delegations shortly would be flying to I their capitals.

Molotov of tiie Soviet Union already had cancelled his plans to come here when President Truman made a personal request for bis presence. He wanted to be in Moscow for the kill.
