ARLINGTON NATIONAL

CEMETERY, July 19 (UP)—General of the Armies John J. Pershing was buried with a hero's honors today in a hilltopgrave surrounded by thousands of the dead he led as living men to victory in World War L 4 Near neighbor of the Unknown Soldier of the first World War,

MONDAY, JULY 19, 1948

the best known soldier of that conflict went to rest after the] greatest outpouring of honors ever bestowed by the nation, upon a dead military chieftain. | The 87-year-old Pershing was borne from the capitol in ‘Washington to Arlington on a flagdraped caisson drawn down Constitution and Memorial Avenues by six matched gray horses and escorted by 3500 men representing all branches of the Armed services. Air Cover of Jets

While the Army band he created “A Mighty Fortress Is Our Lord,” the long procession moved away from the Capitol at thetraditional slow time of 100 paces a minute, later going into 120-pace cadence. Massed along the 415-mile route

were sorrowing and silent thou-,

sands. Jet airplanes provided an air cover, Behind the caisson, the same which carried the late President Roosevelt down the same avenue on April 14, 1945, walked the riderless black horse symbolizing a cavalry general's funeral, Then came the nation’s high Army command, headed by Chief of Staff Omar N. Bradley. With the generals, marching on foot the entire 413 miles through the capital to Arlington, was Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, commander of the western Allies in Europe during World War II. 500 West Pointers Two airborne battalions, more than 500 marching West Pointers, mighty modern howitzers, blue jackets and Air Force men accompanied the caisson, J Gen. Pershing was buried in the place he personally had picked for his grave. As the massive bronze coffin sank into the earth, before taps achoes across the hills, those gathered at the graveside heard the hope-filled words of the Epis burial service committing the General of the Armies “in sure and certain hope of the

‘resurrection until eternal life....”

The burial concluded a period of homage that began with Gen. Pershing’s death on Thursday. It followed a solemn 24 hours during which the general's body lay in state in the capitol rotunda. The cortege wound past the Lincoln Memorial, crossed the Potomac on Memorial Bridge, and then in the cemetery paused at the tomb .of the soldier “Known But to God” who had made the same long, slow journey 27 years ago. There waited President Truman and his official party. Moment of Silence After one minute of silence the funeral procession filed into Arlington’s white marble amphitheater where a service was read before Mr. Truman, Black Jack's still living military colleagues, his only surviving child, Warren, and some 3000.other invited guests. Then came the graveside rites. During the morning 4500 Amerfcans and 35 foreign diplomats stationed here paid their last respects to Gen. Pershing in the capitol rotunda. Ten thousand others had said goodby to him yesterday. The day before in Walter Reed Hospital's chapel other thousands had looked their last on his face. : The services at the amphitheater and graveside were conducted by Maj. Gén. Luther D.

They must tell him there are no reports. “What do you mean there are no reports?” 2 “There has been no attack.” “Why?” The truth’ could no longer be withheld. Attacks for the German armies were but glorious dreams of the past. The order from the Fuehrer had not been obeyed. It was incredible, impossible, that a Fuehrer order could be ignored.

I spoke to all four of these people and they stated that when they left the bunker they were convinced they would never again see Hitler. Hitler's other two secretaries, Frau Gerda Christian and Frau Traudl Junge, did not leave the bunker. I saw Frau Junge in her home in Munich. Still young and quite pretty, she had no inhijbitions about speaking frankly and declared outrightly that she had enjoyed the good times with Hitler and did not believe it proper to leave him, now that he had fallen on evil days.

gruppenfuehrer Steimer, 20 miles away and outside the northern hook of the Russian tongs, would attack to break off the iron arm and prevent the threatening encirclement. Everybody would support Steimer. The Luftwaffe air and ground forces, the Herman Goering Division, every available unit, every single soldier, every employable weapon, every tank that could roll would be thrown into battle. Anybody who kept back one soldier would be shot within three hours. The all-out attack would be launched in the dawn of Apr. 22. “The Russians will suffer such defeat as they have not known throughout their whole history,” cried Hitler.

Awaits Confirmation of Attack ALL THROUGH the morning|were inexorably closing their iron of Apr. 22, the Fuehrer crouched grip. The Abyss of total and un-

mitigated defeat, which heretofore Hitler refused to receive, now loomed through the mist of his fury and despair, and he collapsed. Feebly he mumbled that it was all over, the war was lost, and there was no recourse left to him but to shoot himself. He called for SS-Obergruppenfuehrer

but with faces registering fear|Julius Schaub, his personal at-

tendant. I saw big, inarticulate, dog-like Schaub at Garmisch in an internment camp last spring. He told me how on that fateful day, under the Fuehrer’'s orders, he gathered up his master’s papers in the bunker, took them up to the surface and burned them. Then, under Hitler's further instructions, he flew to Munich and from Hitler’'s private home in that city withdrew other papers and .destroyed them. At Berchtesgaden, Hitler's week-end residence, he repeated, the operation,

in Bunker gaden, where I located her one evening last winter. As-we huddled against the Bavarian snowladen winds beating at the windows, she narrated the routine of perhaps the most fantastic 10 days ever experienced outside a Balzac novel.

Frau Junge drew a diagram for me of the Hitler bunker and it forms the basis for the artist's drawing which appears in this instalment. 4 The Berchtesgaden group numbered about 80 persons, including Dr. Morell, one of Hitler's physicians, who died recently. Although Hitler had indicated his willingness that this segment of his entourage might leave the bunker, he resented the departure of several persous who he believed should remain with him in his self-declared martyrdom. It particularly exasperated him that his first lieutenant, Herman Goering, should show such unseemly haste in shaking the rubble dust of Berlin from his gaudy and bemedalled uniform in order to save his fat skin.

Intentions layed action bomb. When . the tdetonation subsided, Goering had been branded as a private citizen under arrest with the imminent possibility of an execution squad to face. Hitler called Goering’s action rank treason and stripped him of all authority. : When I saw Goering at Nuernhurg I asked him why a man of his known sagacity and political acumen should have sent to provocative a message, to Hitler, equally known for the fierce jealousy with which he regarded

To keep up with his rhinocerosKilling schedule he had, through the years, constant and daily recourse to medicines and drugs. These were administered by his personal physician, Dr. Morell, regarded by all the other Hitler physicians as a quack. Fo combat * fatigue, depression and moods, and to increase heart-minute-volume of blood, Morell used 28 different kinds of medicines on his supposed super-hu-man patient. On July 20, 1944, the exploding bomb aimed at Hitler's life, killed and maimed several others in Hitler's immediate presence. It was announced at the time that Hieler had sustained no injuries, but in reality he had suffered a brain concussion. This, in conjunction with the slow poisoning of Morell's drugs, added to his system - shattering subterranean existence, inevitably produced the physical ruin which everyone testified to seeing in the bunker. With the failure of the Steimer attack, the full crisis was now upon Hitler. The Soviet tongs around Berlin snapped shut. On Apr. 23 the Russians had drawn an iron noose around the Nazi capital. Within that noose Hitler's head yet spoke and ramblingly declaimed its orders. Did he ever withdraw his shaking head? (Continued Tomorrow)

60 B-29's Prepare For Reich Flights

700 Airmen Await Briefing on Trip

LONDON, July 18 (UP)—The biggest Superfortress fleet ever based in England was being prepared today for “training flights” over Germany. Sixty Superforts and five C-54 Skymasters were dispersed at three RAF bomber bases after arriving from the United States| without incident over the weekend. s Col. Stanley Wray, representing Lt. Gen. Curtis Lemay who commands U. 8. Air Forces in Europe, will arrive from Germany today to address 700 of the airmen: He probably will brief them on_ the German flights. Col. John B. Henry, commanding the 28th group, said he did not believe there would be any flights before Thursday. The latest arrivals were two Superforts that landed’ at Scampton today. Fifty-eight others had landed earlier at Scampton,| Marham and Waddington air bases. The latest arrivals raise the strength of the Third Air Division (provisional) to 60.
