Ameri can Superfortresses renewed the offensive against Kyushu's sui cide air bases today in support of the campaign on southern Okin awa where two more U. S. divi sions have been thrown into the battle. Armored forces of the seventh division paced the five division drive on southern Okinawa by cracking through the eastern end of the Japanese line to reach within one mile of Yonabaru. The new attack on the network of air bases on Kyushu, southern most of the Japanese home is lands, was make by a "sizeable" force of B-29's from bases in the Marianas islands. In announcing the raid, the 20th air force at Washington said only that six important installa tions were hit. Previous targets on Kyushu, 350 miles north of Okinawa, have been the staging bases for Japanese suicide attacks on American forces in the Okin awa area. The Superfortress raid came while the seventh division was closing in on Yonabaru, Okin awa's big east coast port. Its capture would onen the way for a steady flow of supplies by ship through Nakagusuku bay.

Committee Votes Down Murray Bill WASHINGTON, (U.R) A sen ate commerce sub-committee has voted unanimously against the Murray Bill for establishment of a Missouri Valley Authority. Chairman John II.

Hamburg Falls Without Fight to The Allies Germans Evacuate the Nation ; Largest Seaport to Flee to Shelter cf Norway PARIS. ftJ-P- The Germans surrendered Hamburg, the reich's largest port and second city, with out a fight today and began a mass flight by sea from the north ern redoubt, presumably for a last stand in Norway. Even as the British moved into Hamburg, the city's radio station broadcast a decree from Fuehrer Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz's new government declaring Prag ue, kingpin bastion in the south eastern redoubt a hospital city a hint that it, too, would capitu late without a fight. German resistance everywhere on continental Europe crumbled almost to the vanishing point fol lowing the mass surrender of northern Italy and western Aust ria with their nazi garrisons of nearly 1,000.000 troops yester day. Almost 100.000 captives were rounded up by the American 82nd airborne divisions fighting under Montgomery's banner. The Ameri cans and British at most points were merely organizing the Ger man movement and disarming the enemy. "Whether you say armistice or unconditional surrender does not now matter." German officials told the captors. "Our resistance has ceased. If any one wanted to fight on now, he couldn't." German troops were surrender ing by the tens of thousands and even greater mass surrenders were in sight, the dispatch said Among the momentous develop ments in the last 12 hours were 1 British Second army troops entered Hamburg after it was declared an open city by the Doe nitz government. 2 The Second army's Sixth airborne division linked up with Russian tanks in the Baltic port of Wismar, clearing the entire Baltic coast cf Germany and en circling tens perhaps hundreds of thousands of nazi troops. 3 RAF pilots report the Ger mans had begun the wholesale evacuation of Schleswig-Holstein, northernmost province of Ger many proper, at dawn. Behind the province's ports, the RAF hammered the biggest traffic jam of the war. 4 British Mosquito bombers attacked Kiel, one of the evacua tion ports and possibly the new headquarters of the Doenitz government, four times during the night. More than 50 two-ton bombs were dropped. 5 Gen. Javob L. Devers, com mander of the Sixth army group in southern Germany, said the German rational redoubt was crumbling and final, conclusive victory "may come at any mom ent." 6 American Third army forces drove across the Inn river and captured Braunau, birthplace of Adolf Hitler 30 miles noith of Salzburg. Another column push ed 10 miles southwest of Braun au to within 39 miles of Berch tesgaden.

Master Sergeant Bob Wurl Home Master Sergeant Robert Wurl, who has spent the past seventeen months in far off Greenland, ar rived home Wednesday for a visit with his father, E. A. Wurl, who has anxiously been awaiting his coming for the past weeks. Master Sgt. Wurl is in the communications section of the United States army, and has been among the small group of Americans that have kept up this important piece of work at the Greenland base, one of the links between this country and war torn Europe. Through the long months the Americans had largely to provide their own entertainment and re laxations and Bob become an expert at bridge, one of the chief means of entertainment. Bob has been in the armed ser vice for the past three years and was at Westover Field, Mass., for over a year and where he had his special training in communica tions, before being sent abroad. Support Salvage Campaign Urged C. B. McElroy, of the War Production Board, stationed at Omaha, was in the city today to look after some details of the campaign to aid the tin and pap er salvage. . Mr. McElroy was checking with the local groups that are aiding in the campaigns and was pleased with the program that is being carried on, the Ad club committee on the paper drive, the thorough effort of the Boy Scouts all throu gh the campaign to gather in the paper and the city co-operation in hauling the paper to the storage places. Mr. McElroy stresses the need of tin in the war effort as this is one thing that the Allies lack in their war effort, Japan hold ing the larger part of the world's supply of tin in the captured East Indies. Contributes to School Library A splendid contribution of books to the high school library was made recently by Mr. E. A. Wurl. This donation consists of 105 books adding materially to the library. Included in this con tribution are ten volumes of "Sto ddard's Lectures"; ten volumes of Draper's "Sejf-Culture"; six vol umes of Erckmann-Chatrian Nov els, and stories by English auth ors, by foreign authors and many other splended library books.
