CAMPUS 91 2CIA* CRIER VoLNo. 19Z797 ELLENSBURG, WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, MAY 3,1945 No.20 Chirchill Predicts German Surrender Before Saturday By GEORGE Major war developments still center around the European theatre where the collapse of the remaining German military power is spreading rapidly. The Nazi radio this week admitted the end is near this was followed by announcement from Winston Churchill in which he said peace in Europe might come ibefore Saturday. In the fight­ ing in Italy, Allied conquest has been reported complete. The Hamburg radio announced Tuesday that Hitler had ibeen killed in the fighting against the Russians in Berlin. The broadcast added that Admiral Karl Doenitz, commander of the German navy, has succeeded Hitler. In the Pacific, Al­ lied forces have invaded Borneo of The Netherlands East Indies. These reports highlighted the war news up to Tuesday night. Other news of fighting on the war fronts follows: WESTERN FRONT. With orders from supreme Allied headquarters, the U. S. Ninth army's drive to Berlin was halted at the Elbe river to permit the capture of the German capital by Rus­ sian forces pouring west. It was also understood the American First and Third, and British and Canadian arm­ ies had received similar orders to halt at the Elbe. New American-Russian junctures have trapped Germans be­ tween Berlin and Leipzig and virtually surrounded all enemy troops between Berlin and the Elbe river. Munich, the birthplace of Nazism, was entered Sunday and has fallen to U. S. Sev­ enth army troops. Third army troops are in a new push toward Berchtesgaden while still other Seventh army men are fighting south of Fussen on the Austrian bor­ der, 135 miles from Americans at Begamo in Italy. The British Second is well across the Elbe in northern Germany and are moving toward Lue- beck whose fall is expected to seal off Denmark. The biggest concentration of Allied prisoners in Germany has been freed from towns around Moos- burg. The Allied prisoners freed num­ bered 130,000, including 60,000 Amer­ icans. RUSSIAN FRONT. Russian troops have captured the Baltic port of Stral- sund, 40 miles northeast of Rostock Bradenburg, 22 miles west of Berlin Domin, 27 miles south of Stralsund and Waren, 55 miles southwest of the Baltic port. Second White Russian troops have compressed the Nazi pocket along the Baltic coast in north­ ern Germany to a width of 85 miles. Russian troops are in control of the central part of Germany and are driv­ ing into the last-ditch Nazi defenses. Russian troops have captured Morav- ska-Ostrava, the bastion city guard­ ing the Moravian gap to Czechoslo­ vakia. The important breakthrough opened the way for a swift linkup with other [Russian forces north of Bruenn. ITALIAN FRONT. The Fascist Li- gurian army in Italy was ordered Sunday to unconditional surrender. It had been holding the Ligurian coast in northwest Italy. Americans advan­ cing along the Gulf of Genoa have oc­ cupied Savona, Spotorno and Noli. •British armored forces have entered Udine while New Zealand troops have made a juncture with Yugoslav Parti sans at the head of the Adriatic. Ap­ proximately 100 miles separate the Allies ift Italy and the Americans in the Bavarian Alps. More than 120,000 of the enemy have been captured in the German collapse in Italy. Only real resistance has been near Brenner Pass. The major cities of Genoa and Venice are in Allied hands. PACIFIC FRONT. The assault on Borneo represents a 200-mile jump from the southern Philippines into the •northernmost oil islands in the Dutch Indies. British naval ta§k forces hare faportedly shelled Nicofcar and Anda- nan islands in the Indian ocean. Arm- LYNN, UNBEATEN SINCE '42, COPS TWO MpE WINS Bob Lynn, Central Washington col­ lege's great distance runner, who has not been defeated since 1942, added two more victories over the week-end to his growing string of track wins. Competing for the first time this sea­ son, Lynn won handily in the mile and two-mile events of Saturday's Wash­ ington State College-Whitman dual meet at Walla Walla. Entered as unattached and billed as exhibition competitor, Lynn ran the mile in four minutes, 32 seconds and finished forty yards ahead of the of­ ficial meet winner. In the two-mile, the Central Washington star was far from pressed as he left his nearest foe 120 yards behind in chalking up a time of 10 minutes, 12 seconds. Lynn is the holder of three running marks. In 1943 he captured the Pa­ cific Coast four-mile cross country championship at the Spokane Athletic Round Table sponsored "Turkey Trot" event. Last fall he successfully de­ fended his title in repeating his win in record-breaking time of 20 minutes, 26 seconds on a muddy track. In the 1943 Washington Intercolleg­ iate conference meet at Tomlinson field, Lynn cracked the mile mark in four minutes, 23.8 seconds. He added the two-mile record to his collection by turning in a nine minute, 55.5 sec­ ond time. Along with these two wins Lynn kept busy the same day by grab­ bing a win in the half-mile. The easy-striding wearer of Wild­ cat colors has been hampered, this year by an_ early season ^ankle-sprain. he suffered while training. Now fully recovered from the injury, Lynn is preparing for competition in an "im­ portant University of Washington meet in Seattle May 12, and a big open meet at Pullman the . following week-end.

Some of the more prosperous people tfreAs in the Japanese maimer, but as a whole their costumes are patterned- after the Chinese and Hawaiians, the greater part are original with the Okinawans. The people themselves are of small stature, and although they are only about four and one half feet tall, the women carry half a pony load on then- heads. Often it takes two men to put the burden there, but once she gets it there, it stays until she is ready for it to be put down. This feat has de­ veloped broad, deep chests for these women. As a rule, the Okinawans are better built than the Japanese. Their noses ar^ higher, cheekbone^ lower and treir teeth are far superior to those of their masters of the north. However, if they are dressed alike, it is difficult to tell men of the two strains apart. Water there is far more valuable than liquor, and not one drop of rain­ fall is wasted. On a neighboring is­ land, fresh water is brought in ly boat. On Okinawa, it is almost that scarce.. Okinawa has weather, instead of a climate. In the twinkling of an eye, the brightest sky will turn into a mass of wild clouds, then without warning a torrent will pour in violent fury. If earthquakes are almost unknown, some of the typhoons which sweep the islands create major disasters. In summer, the sun beats down heavily, if not dangerously, after nine a. m. In the cooler months, November to April, rain clouds float overhead emp­ tying. their burdens of liquid sunshine.. The monsoon winds make the atmo­ sphere endurable. The activities which provide life for the natives are fishing and farming which are carried on even in the1 midst of battles.

She Was armazed to find that Otto wasn't Otto '•'it aHv"amd furthermore this pseudo- Ottodidn't seem to appreciate her very obvious friendliness. Did you ever lose a heel? Weil, Mfiyme Turner did—off her shoe. This all happened the first Sunday Mayihe Was here in Ellensburg, hoping With all of a Freshman's fervor to make a good start all the way 'round. She walked out of church and stopped to shake hands With the preacher who stood at the top of the steps leading out of the * church. Something hap­ pened, because the next thing Mayme knew she had skiied down the steps leaving her heels behind her. A lieu­ tenant sitting on the church lawn thought it was so funny that he ac­ tually foiled with convulsions of . laughter. In the happy K-deibt days June Sey­ mour had a similar experience.

Mary Jane Peterson relates going into a cafe fbr eats one evening With a group of friends. The group had split up arid sat in two bootTis. Mary Jane thought her friends were sitting in tlie next bdoth and When it came tim!e to orcfer she jumped up, leached over the ¥$£re of the booth aticl said: "Hey, Wftfit ate you guys hiving?" The retort came from a fcuncli of G. I.'s: "Beer and pretzels, Babe. What are you having?" Alary Jane felt funny. Once when her man was due at the railroad station Jeanne JohiistOn thought the tall khaki-clad figure down a few cars with his back turned was him. She rushed up to him and was ready to embrace him when the khaki man turned around, holding a soft blanketed bundle. P. S. It wasn't him and Jeanne wears glasses now. Barbara Howard tells of the fateful afternoon she wore her first high heels. She was a junior in high school, serving at a tea held for the graduating seniors. Barb started across the floor with a plate of cookies as in a far corner someone was play­ ing a soft waltz. Suddenly she slipped and kerplunked to the floor. The plate of cookies went spinning across the floor, spilling cookies at the feet of a group of faculty members. Leave it to Barb to think of a novel way of service! The moral of all this is . . .
