"With the demand what it is today and the prospects in Europe, we seem to be running into trouble.

"I don't think any miners have the right to lay down their tools at a time like this when all we need is to continue what we are doing to win through to victory in Europe. It is unsupportable and inexcusable."

reported from an advanced com­mand post on Okinawa.

He said Japanese strong points appeared to be scattered through the hills around the villages of Kaniku, Tsuwa and Tanbaru. Ap­proaching them, the Americans overran several preliminary lines of resistance in advances of 500 to 1,500 yards down the 3 1/2 mile wide isthmus separating cen­tral and southern Okinawa.-

Yanks Run Into Heavy Fire The hills command Inuch of

southern Okinawa. Troops push­ing through a misty rain toward one 600-foot height guarding the approach to Shuri ran into heavy artillery, machine gun and mor­tar fire.

For the first time since the in­vasion Sunday, heavy Japanese artillery and mortar fire *was screaming into the American front lines The enemy appeared de­termined to hold Machinato and Yonabaru airfields, both within a mile and a half to two miles of the advancing Americans.

The veteran 32nd Regiment of the, Seventh Division on the East­ern end of the line above Naha smashed the first organized re­sistance of the campaign yester­day with the caputre of a ridge above Ishado on Nakagusuku bay naval anchorage.

The ridge was described as a strong outpost defended by mor­tars, machine-guns and some ar­tillery.

The 184th regiment, meantime, was attacking a Japanese pocket estimated at company strength— possibly 200 men—on the west coast. Flame-throwing tanks were spearheading the attack.

The army advances on the south­ern front, coupled with a Marine push to the north deep into, the narrow isthmus between southern and central Okinawa, gave the Americans control of 80 square miles—one-sixth of the island only 330 miles southwest of Japan.

The campaign already was 12 days ahead of schedule, with the invasion forces controlling 17 miles of the west coast and 12 miles of the east* coast, including half the shoreline of the vital Nakagusuku bay naval anchor age.

CpL William Gallagher Cpl. William J. Gallagher, 17

Elmwood street, a member of the famous 4th Armored Division of General Patton's Third Army, is receiving treatment in an Eng­lish hospital for a fractured hip, the result of enemy gunfire on March 20 when this fast-moving Army was clearing the last Ger­mans from the Saar-Palatinate pocket west of the Rhine. Infor­mation concerning his injuries was received by his mother, Mrs. Edith Chapman, from the War Depart­ment and also a letter from Gal­lagher.

Corporal Gallagher distinguish­ed himself some time ago as he received the Bronze Star Medal and was afterwards awarded a personal citation from his com­manding general, Maj. Gen. Hugh J. Coffey of the Fourth Division. He won the special citation for gallantry in action when the Third Army was engaged in smashing the German defenses in France on December 3-4, 1944.

Patton's entire 4th Division re­ceived the citation for action at this time and the local hero was cited for an unusual feat in se­curing information concerning the enemy while on patrol operation. The 4th Armored Division has probably received more publicity than any other American division in this war as this group has been in front in almost all of the spec­tacular advances of the Third Army which has moved so fast at times that General Eisenhower has said that he was unable to keep in touch with the commander.

Corporal Gallagher received his Bronze Star Medal for services performed when his outfit fought for four days and nights to re­lieve the hard pressed Americans who were surrounded in Bastogne.

This soldier was born in Sala­manca but has made the Toni-wandas his home since early child­hood. He attended Tonawanda high school and was employed by the Durez Plastics & Chemical Co. Inc., before entering the service in November, 1941. He went over­seas nearly two years ago and has participated in several of the cru­cial engagements on the Western Front.

He has two step-brothers, Rob­ert and Richard Chapman, serving in the armed forces. Richard 13 with the Seabees in the Soul-, Pacific and Robert is with the Army in Oregon.

Corporal Gallagher holds the Oak cluster in addition to the other honors.

4 while fighting as part of Ger. Patton's Third Army, according to a War Department telegram Subsequent letters from her son have informed Mrs. Williams that he is being treated in a hospital in England for a wound in the left arm. He was in the Infantry.

Pfc. Ostrander had oeen on combat duty only about two months when he was wounded and evacuated to the hospital. H« entered the service in July of last year and went overseas early in January of the current year He trained at Camp Wheeler, Ga., and Fort Meade, Md.

He landed in England on ar­riving on the other side of the Atlantic and soon after went into action with his outfit in France. He also fought in Belgium and Germany before becoming a cas­ualty.

Pfc. Ostrander was born in Washington, D. C, and resided in North Tonawanda three years be­fore entering the Armed Forces. He was employed at the Bell Air­craft plant at Niagara Falls dur­ing his residence in North Tona­wanda.

road, who commanded a para­chute regiment in the daring raid on the Los Banos prison camp m Luzon when 2,146 prisoners were freed, recently suffered a slight leg injury but was not incapaci­tated. In a letter to his wife he told of his injury but did not mention the spot on Lu^on where the injury was received.

Captain Ringler was a member of the 11th Airborne division which landed on Luzon about two weeks after the first troops in­vaded the Philippines, lie has been in a number of engagements in addition to the brilliant under­taking at Los Banos.

He was recently promoted from first lieutenant to captain.

Eisenhower added that if th» German government or any group that could take political control would make a nationa' surrender "then all armed bodies remaining in the field would, in my opinion, no longer be classed as soldierr. of a recognized government but would occupy the status of brig­ands or pirates."

"Since, if captured under these conditions, they would not be en­titled to protection afforded by the laws of war," he said, "it in my conviction that, except for extreme fanatics, they would largely surrender.

"But so long as any of tho Hitler gang retains a semblance of political power,' I believe th«j effort will be to continue resist­ance not only throughout Ger­many but in all of the outlying areas including the western port areas of| France and Denmark and Norway.

Film Shows Violin Master's Technique

Chicago (UP) — For the first time in history, the playing tech­nique of a great artist has bees recorded on high-speed film at the rate of 1,000 exposures I second. The experiment may rev­olutionize the teaching of violin playing.

David P. Boder, professor of psychology at the Illinois Insti­tute of Technology, had the film made as part of a threefold study of the psychology of music.

In the experiment, Nathan Mil-stein played difficult passages from a violin concerto, and be­cause of the intensity of the lights needed for the photography, he wore dark glasses. Only his hands were photographed.

Boder contends that violinists whose hands differ in size should be taught in different ways and he hopes that a series of film records which show in minute da-tail just what the great artists do with their hands will back up his contention.

The tests may also disprove many current ideas in the teach­ing of violin playing. Prof. Boder and his staff expect to extend the filming to other type* of artists.

The filming is being handled by scientists from the Armour Re­search foundation of the institute, working with the Chicago Sym­phony Orchestra. Members of the orchestra and visiting artists are slated to take part in the experi­ment.

Pfc. John Lautz Pfc. John Lautz, son of Mr. and

Mrs. Edward Lautz of 28 DeKalb street, Tonawanda, has informed his parents that he was injured by fragments of Japanese hand grenades while fighting with for­ward elements of the US Marine.-! on Iwo Jima and he is now re­ceiving treatment at a hospital on Guam.

John is a troop of the 28th Ma­rines 5th Division. He is the brother of one of Tonawandas' outstanding heroes of the cur­rent war, Pfc. Edward G. Laut?, Jr., who was awarded the Silver Star for his daring reconnaissance mission behind German lines after swimming the cold waters of the Wurm river under the very noses of Nazi pillboxes and small arms fire.

John entered the service in April, 1944 following his gradua­tion from Tonawanda high school While at THS he was a star on the varsity swimming team.

He received his boot training at San Diego, Calif., and got ad­vanced training at Camp Pendle­ton, Ore., before shipping across, November, 1944.

sion broke through to the Weser at Minden, 22 airline miles nonh of Hamlin, 32 miles west of Hann­over and 174 miles west of Ber­lin.

A winding 40-mile stretch of the Weser's west bank extending from north of Minden to south of Hamlin was in American hands and front dispatches telling of col­lapsed German resistance indi­cated that a full-scale drive across the river was impending.

Beyond the Weser, the north­ern road to Berlin lay wide open for a stretch of almost 100 miles back to the Elbe river.

British airborne troops raced 36 miles east of captured Osnabrueck to join the Americans at Mind<*n, and wheeled northward seven miles to Hille. Unconfirmed re­ports said the Tommies crossed the 80-yard-wide Weser in a strike for Bremen, 49 miles to the northwest.

On the east front, stagnant sin-re the spring thaw and rains began a month ago, there were signs of an early revival of the Russian drive on Berlin. Gen. Ivan Pe4.-rov's 4th Ukrainian Army facing Prague resumed its drive, after five weeks of inaction, and smash­ed its way 25 miles deep into Silesia and Czechoslovakia on a 40-mile front. This operation was against the last great German salient in the east, a huge buige including all of Moravia.

"While the law does not men­tion it specifically," Dr. Dean said, "we do not consider a dog on leash is at large."

Dr. Dean indicated that the state commissioner's conditions probab­ly will stipulate the type of vac­cines to be used; innoculation and issuance of a certificate by a li­censed veterinarian; the lapse of a certain period after innoculation before the dog can be allowed at large, probably at least 21 days, and finally that stray dogs first be rounded up in designated com­munities.

The Niagara" County Board of Supervisors will cooperate with dog owners who wish to immu­nize their dogs against rabies by making available up to $2,000 worth of serum to conservation clubs and civic organizations that wish to sponsor vaccination clinics.

The supervisors yesterday af­ternoon authorized Dr. Anderson Crowforth, Lockport, to purchaat the serum and supervise its dis­tribution to the clubs on their re­quest.

By so doing the agriculture an4 finance committee cited that it would be possible through the co­operation of Veterinarians to offer the immunization at reduced rates.

The clubs sponsoring the clinics will be required to make all ar­rangements and to advertise them. The Agriculture committee said that the county health nurses have offered to volunteer their services.

The immunization will be pure­ly voluntary on the part of the dog owner but it was pointed out that every dog immunized reduces the danger of spreading rabies.
