Flanking Possible
Moscow dispatches pointed out that from Cernauti the Russ army will be able to flank the entire series -of Nazi positions along the Prut. And from there it can cut the whole northern escape channel of the Germans. The Cernauti and Kolmyja springboards were ideal for a drive Into the eastern tip of old Czechoslovakia. Par to the sautieast the German position in Odessa province deteriorated badly in the last 24 hours. The threat of entrapment of all the Germans in the Black sea salient heightened as the 2d army of the Ukraine slashed down into

of the Tiraspol-Chisinau-Iast railroad, one of the Nazi lines of escape from the southern Ukraine. Developments also indicated in-

All the obstretricians, students and nurses in the hospital jammed the gallery of the clinic in which the quadruplets were born.
Two of the girls weighed five pounds each, another four pounds, 12 ounces, and the boy, second in order of birth, weighed four pounds, 13 ounces. No names have been selected for the babies.
Although the babies were slightly premature, born in the eighth month, Dr. Watson said he “never had seen healthier or more natural babies in his experience.” He added that the mother was “doing exceptionally well, too.” ‘The father, a violinist, was doing all right, also, although slightly bewildered. He called at the hospital yesterday afternoon—- a “routine call,” as he put it—a couple of hours after the arrivals and was congratulated by the receptionist in the lobby. “So you're the lucky man,” she said.
He didn't believe her and hurried upstairs where he saw .his babies for the first time. “Which is the boy?” he asked. “They all look alike to me.” The Zariel's have one other child, a son, 6. Last night, Zarief was to appear with the CBS symphony orchestra in a program that went on the air at 10:30.

“I'll never forget that night. We were taking on live powder and had it stored all over the dpen deck It was as bright as daylight for the enemy had dropped flares directly over us. One string of bombs hit about 100 yards off us and a second string about 75 yards off the cargo vessel. It swas too close for real comfort,” he said. Mr. Tucker's speech dealt pri-’ marily with descriptions and the duties of the navy’s amphibious landing craft. He detailed specifically the L. S. T., landing ship tanks. }

A salary of $5000 a year was suggested by the commission for each member of the board. Mr. Teckemeyer’s report pointed out that elimination of the division of field services would save $56,000 an“What we could afford to pay (the members) is obvious,” the report continued. The report recommended the three-member board have an executive secretary to be appointed by the governor to act as general administrator as under the present law. Members of the present welfare board are Fred Hoke, president, Indianapolis; Marie 8. Edwards, of Peru; J. Pierce Cummings, Indianapolis; and W. A.

British Slowing Jap India Raids
NEW DELHI, March 30 (U.

Adm. Lord Louis Mountbatten's communique indicated that the main British frontier forces had gone into action with planes and heavy artillery in a determined efe fort to hurl the invaders back across the border. One enemy column striking down from the Somra hills toward Ime phal was revealed to have been caught in an open stretch of coun= try—presumably in the Ukhrul area —and pounded savagely by British divebombers and artillery. The Japanese “suffered heavy casualties” in this action, Mount= batten's communique reported.
