WEDNESDAY, FEB, 21, 1948 _ Local Thunderbolt Pilot Aids In Berchtesgaden Bombing

(Continued From Page One)

This meant, there had been no pre-arranged “plan ta destroy the hideaway and perhaps its chief

. tenant,

A spokesman said the Thunderbolts were part of a big attacking force ordered out against railway and other transportation-targets in the Berchtesgaden area, Bad weather closed in while they were en route to their original obJectives, so they turned off to hit secondary targets in and around the Bavarian mountain village, 75 miles southeast of Munich. : Hitler's present whereabouts were unknown, but it was considered possible that he was in Berchtesgaden at the time of the attack, in view of the Red army’s close approach to Berlin and the recent heavy allied air attacks on his capital. The “Eagle's Nest” at Berchtesgaden was probably the most fantastic of ‘all the steel and stone monuments Hitler erected to his 1000-year Reich.” Built in 1938 at. the height of Hitler's power, the hideaway was placed atop the 1800-foot crest of the Kehlstein, a towerlike rock rising high in the Bavarian Alps overlooking the village of Berchtesgaden. When Nazi Germany's military fortunes began to wane and Berlin itself came within range of the Red army there were rumors that Hitler and a picked corps of his followers would retreat to Berchtesgaden and fight on in the mountains around that fortress. The Kehlstein itself bristles with anti-aircraft batteries and secret defenses behind which the fuehrer had believed himself safe against all attack. It was at Berchiesgaden that the fuehrer held his gravest councils of war, quarrels that made history, and an occasional Nazi party revel

Leaders Were Called

Many of the rulers.of Germany's smaller neighbors were summoned to the Eagle's Nest to be “read into” Hitler's European block by the fuehrer, In one of the most spectacular of these “conferences,” Hitler notified Austrian Chancellor Kurt Schussnig of Austria's “anschluss” with Germany and flew into a towering rage when the chancellor refused to accept his demand. Early in the war, there was a belief among the fliers of the R. A P, that the appearance of allied night .-bombers over Western Germany

would touch off air raid sirens in Berchtesgaden. Thereupon, the fuehrer would tumble out of bed and scurry down to his private air raid cellar at the base of the rock. That story never whs confirmed, but Hitler may have had a chance to use his shelter today. He ran into one mild embarrassment on the first day his rock eyrie was completed. Hitler entered the special elevator at the bottom of the mountain and started the 1800-toot ascent, Half-way up the shaft, the elevator stuck and the fuehrer fumed there "in solitary confinement for four hours until an electrician discovered that a fuse had blown out.

and dugouts’” with flame throwers, small arms, and bayonets, in bloody hand-to-hand struggles. The Japanese were relatively quiet last night. A local counter-attack on the American left flank, supported by several tanks and artillery fire, was beaten off, and attempts at infiltration were thwarted. A Tokyo report said 20,000 Americans had been landed in Iwo.

Counter-Attack Beaten

The 27th regiment of marines beat off the fanatical first Japa-

nese counter-attack on Motoyama airfield No. 1 early yesterday. Though completely cut off from the remainder of Iwo by an American smash to the west coast, Japanese troops on Suribachi were fighting literally to the last man from well-fortified caves and gun emplacements studding the side of the 554-foot mountain. Col. Harry B. Liversedge, commander of the marine regiment which cut off Suribachi, said his men found pillboxes every 10 feet

land less at the base of the vol- | cano.

Japanese guns and mortars on Suribachi were firing almost point blank at marines. = The Japanese also were pouring shells into the rear of other forces farther north, Front reports said the fiercest resistance was being met on the northern end of the beachhead. There the Japanese were supplementing their artillery and mortar barrages for the first time in the Pacific war with anti-personnel rockets. Magnetic and “yardstick” mines also were being encountered. American battleships and warships ringing the tiny island were firing ceaselessly.

It is understood that association directors desire to replace Mr. Greenlee with a Republican, preferably from Marion county.

Charles Riddle, former Indianapolis ward chaifman and solid supporter of former 1ith district G. O, P. Chairman James'L. Bradford, now in the liquor business, has been touted as a possible candidate. Another potential successor is Joseph Kyle of Gary. The job pays $6000 a year. Recently, the Indiana Wholesale Liquor Dealers association named another Marion county Republican politician, George Fate, as its executive secretary. Dale Brown, who had been in line for the Beer wholesalers’ secretaryship, instead will take the post of director of the Indiana Motor Vehicle license bureau, it was learned.

The bell which has heralded the services for many years will be used in the new church as will the heating and air conditioning plant and the organ. Timber from the old church will be salvaged for the construction of a parsonage. Specialists in the fleld of rural religious work warn that the small, “under-privileged” country church, with its lack of trained leaders and equipment, will presently affect the city most unfavorably. It is explained that great numbers of rural youth migrate to the city. Accustomed to the bare, simple country church, poor in furnishings, but rich in friendliness, the rural youth do not feel at home in the more comparatively luxurious city church, Fear Future Trend

Unless more city church people unidertake to" bring trained leadership and other improvements to the country church, rural youth coming into the city will become pagan or join the less formal cults and sects becoming so prevalent in the nation. Accordingly, it is the ideal of Crooked Creek church to try to meet this need of its rural con-

Disabled Veterans Demand Firing Squads for Burials

(Continued From Page One)

Ft. Harrison spokesman contacted, first asked if the person to be buried was a world war I or world war II veteran. They also cited a photograph in the Dec. 4 issue of Newsweek purportedly showing an ‘American firing squad” providing military honors at a P. O. W. burial service at Ft. Sheridan, Ill. Underlines of the picture were quoted as saying, “. . . a fellow P. O. W. took pains to see Braune (the dead German) interned as a good Nazi by proffering the Hitler salute.” “Done When Possible”

Meanwhile, Col. Henry E. Tisdale, Ft. Harrison commander, said that whenever it is possible to provide a firing squad for a veteran it is done. ° “We have stripped of our manpower,

been pretty well ” he said.

“If a party today asked for such a | {squad I think I would find it dif-|

Squads Now Limited

The personnel department at Ft. Harrison said that ordinarily a squad would be furnished gladly for such events but at present they do not have the men. They now are limiting the squads’ use to burials for men of world war II and there are several requests from over the state every week. Oscar R. Brown, state service officer for the American Legion, said that there is nothing to force an army base to provide a firing squad. “If one is provided, it is as a courtesy,” he said.- “In most cases the Legion post of the veteran will supply a squad. This also is true for the V. F. W. “In many cases I have known a post to detail a squad in honor of a veteran whether he is a member of the Legion or not,” he said.

at the collections garage. None, however, would take out collection equipment. Five trucks were sent out manned by street and engineers department employees.

Blame Firings

“Mr. Wills, in explaining the reasons the men walked off their- jobs; declared that the discharge of Benjamin H. Thompson and Fred Schriner, superintendent and assistant superintednent of the collections, by the mayor Monday precipitated the strike. 3 “We had decided,” Mr. Wills ad: serted, “to stay on the. job. until the state tax board had ruled on our raises. However, when the mayor fired Mr. Thompson and Mr. Schriner we voted to strike. “We also voted not to return to our jobs until both Mr. Thompson and Mr. Schriner are returned to their jobs and our pay raise is given us.” Charges Breakdowns Mr. Wills charged that much of the delays in ash and garbage collections during recent months had been due to “equipment breakdowns and not in manpower failure.” “Since the collection department's mechanics were moved to the municipal garage, servicing of our trucks and equipment has been very bad,” the union president declared. “This winter service has been particularly bad. Much of the equipment has been idle in our garage and men who have reported for work have had nothing to do.”
