‘But Stubborn Nazi Causes | Mannheim’s Ruin.

| By MALCOLM MUIR JR. |

United Press Staff Correspondent MANNHEIM, Germany, March 28|

(Delayed). — A stubborn army captain can be blamed for |

German |

feausing the blow which completed |

the destruction of Mannheim, Eu-| rope's largest inland port. The civilians wanted-to surrender and even went so far as to telephone the approaching Americans. But the wehrmacht captain wouldn’t give up. When the 7th army's Tlst regi-| ment, reached the waterworks, the | telephone was ringing. Second Lt Raymond Quinn answered it. “Hello, Americans,” said a voice in gutteral English. ‘This is the burgomeister. You « top firing. There are no more soldiers in

| |

: Met By Fire When the troops started toward |

the river, they were met by a sharp

burst of sniper fire from tenement

and factory windows.

The phone rang again at the waterworks. It was the burgomeister, “I'm sorry, Americans. There is a wehrmacht captain still commanding the forces here and he refuses to give up.” But a colonel answered the phone this time and he gave the Germans one hour to surrender.

During that hour 26 artillery bat- Ohio to Illinois, north on Tiline is to New

talions were brought up behind the| river line. When the deadline] passed, the colonel ordered all guns] to open fire Poured Rain of Death

1 i lan Throughout the night, big 240-mm

pieces, 1553's and 105's in relays {poured a rain of death across the {150-yard strip of water, It was like flogging a dead man. Mannheim | had been a prime target for the| R. A. F. and the 8th air force. | At dawn today two boats, fall of civilians pushed out from the | isouthern shore carrying white flags. They said organized resistance had ceased and they really were sur-i ‘rendering the town this time.

{ Troops found streets were life- south on Pennsylvania to Maryland, west

less and the buildings were but {hollow shells, Grass was growing on the frag{ments of the postoffce wall: Spring flowers were pushing up between | the bricks of the flattened grain] silo. Heavy smoke still poured from a buring oil plant hit two days by| our artillery. | Occupation Not Easy Sniping still continued, however, ! land the occupation could not .be called easy. S. Sgt. Alexander Pap-| pas, Portland, Ore. got one sniper {with a single round. Pfc. Albert [Rodsa, PHiladelphia, picked off two ! snipers during the morning. | One young girl was spofted de{fiantly aiming a rifle from a bediroom window. Her aim was not | good, though, and she paid for her lact. Fifteen German officers surrenjdered in a body to Pfc. Henry Nunjciato, Yonkers, N. Y. He marched {proudly through the city followed by | {the captured - officers, who were] |garbed in fresHly-pressed green uni[forms and polished boots. : One German woman asked, permission to go to her home for food. |

Pfc. George Martinez, Los Angeles,

refused, but the woman asked again and said the people were hungry. {~*“¥Yow Germans have -made-all-Eu-1 rope hungry,” Martinez replied. | “Yes, we know,” the woman said! dejectedly as she turned away.

| CHICAGO, March 30 (U. P.).—| A “the” instead of an “A” in a city ordinance yesterday cost Chi. cago $8,591,000. ! A gas company, arguing against! | payment of taxes on natural gas sales, said a city ordinance reading “the 5 per cent tax” particularized the statement as referring to an 1891 franchise, expiring in’ 1916, whereas an““a” would have had an indefinite force, The court agreed.

If your sidewalks look like this, it’s time to modernize with concrete walks. Concrete walks drain quickly and are free from puddles of standing water. They're safe and sure under foot, wet or dry. Theyimprovetheappearance of the neighborhood and in-

And they're moderate in first cost. Ask your officials to include concrete sidewalks in their postwar improvement plans.
