LONDON, April 4 (U. P.)~ Samuel Rosenman; special envoy for President Roosevelt, said today that he believed allied armies of the west and the Red army from the east will link up inside Germany “in a week or 10 days.” Rosenman emphasized in an interview that the prediction was his own “personal and casual opinion.” He has just returned from a visit to the Western front,

But the city was firmly in American hands and the Yanks were swarming through the streets to clear the remaining Nazis out with grenades and bayonets.

port said the Canadians were only 13 miles from the Zuider Zee. A breakthrough to the coast there would split Holland and trap perhaps 50,000 Germans around the big Dutch western cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague, 40 Miles From Sea Armored divisions of the British 2d army were advancing flank to flank with the Canadians, moving northward along the Dutch-Ger-man border toward Emden and Bremen. Field dispatches, admittedly'« lagging hours behind the speeding British tanks, said the Tommies were less than 40 miles from the North sea at an undisclosed point. Osnabrueck, a key German stronghold 25 miles northeast of captured Muenster, was cleared by British airborne troops after a savage house-to-house battle, The British advanced six miles north of the city to a point less than 60 miles southwest of Bremen, Germany’s second seaport. A second British column 40 miles to the northwest cleared the German border town of Nordhorn and pushed ahead at least five miles to within 60 miles of - Emden. South of the British,and Canadian forces, the American 9th army was running into its stiffest opposition since the Rhine crossing in a series of forest defiles just west of the Weser river on the main roads to Hannover and Berlin, 180-0dd miles to the east. Bielefeld By-Passed The 9th army's second and fifth armored divisions broke through to the eastern edge of the Teutoburger forest on ‘a 20-mile front some 20 to 40 miles .southeast of Osnabrueck, only to run into fanatical opposition from well-entrenched Nazi elite guards, Volksturm units and paratroop cadets, The Yanks by-passed and surrounded Bielefeld and Herford in their advance and pushed ahead on the main Ruhr-Berlin superhighyway to the west bank of the Weser, 38 miles southwest of Hannover, All along the front, howevet, the Germans were counter-attacking sayagely and yielding ground only under the heaviest pressure, Scores of 80-ton German Tiger tanks were blocking the advance at Bielefeld, Herford, and the smaller towns of Oerlinghausen, Augustdorf and Detmold, four to 13 miles southeast of Bielefeld. Vanguards of the 9th army were in the outskirts of all five towns, however, and moving ahead at a slow but steady pace. Stiff Resistance The toughest enemy resistance was coming from youthful troops rushed from the German armored training school at Detmold

tillery, but they poured a murderous fire from mortars and burp guns into the narrow defiles.

Hoffman was directing a trusty in cleaning ott the cells when the trio rushed him. Both Desperate . State police, Anderson municipal police and sheriff deputies immediately set up a road blockade. Other officers stopped a Pennsylvania freight near Elwood and began a car-to-car search, Both men probably will fight rather than surrender, Deputy Warfield said, O’Brien, paroled from Pendleton last November, told Warfield after his recent arrest that “I'd rather be dead than go back to Pendleton.” Bowers, who was picked up in Anderson after being involved in several fist fights, attempted to hang himself three weeks ago in the jail, the deputy said. Probe Promised O'Brien, who has an ex-wife and a grandfather living in Elwood, had “about five more years hanging over my head” at Pendleton as a result of a spectacular gun battle and automobile theft near Muncie a few years ago. Mintor was arrested for allegedly slugging a -Catholic priest at Alexandria during a robbery several weeks ago, Warfield said. Deputy PRrosecutor John Walsh, Madison county, said that he planned to request a grand "jury investigation in the jail break.
