The storm developed in Texas and as it moved northeastward it left a trail of thunderstorms and dripping temperatures from Texa to Eastern upper Michigan. West of the snow belt wintry weather ensued. Temperatures as low as one above zero at Trinidad, Ceolorado were reported. Five above eadings were reported in South- western Nebraska and in North- astern Colorado. They were nes 20 degrees in the Dakotas and in Vestern Nebraska.

Bernstein, of tife National Jewish Welfare Board, has ccontly returned from a 35.000 mile ip to the warfronts in the Pacific | where he found men working to- gether without any regard for color, race, or creed — “a healthy factor for the period of readjustment.” Greatly encouraged by the team- work of America’s interracial youth, he says: “Men have learned to live and work together, transcending barriers of race, color, and creed. The boys are not judged by their antecedents but by character, abil- ity, and usefulness.” His report is expected to help the Board in its spiritual ministry to some 500,000 Jewish youth in the armed services. An American soldier in the South Pacific writes to his minister of a celebration given the boys by the na- tive people: “The’' chief arose and spoke to his people for ten minutes.

S. EIGHTIETH DIVI- SION, Germany, April 4 — The mountain hideout with a thousand air-conditioned rooms, where Hitler masterminded his conquest of France, and Von Rundstedt plotted his Ardennes offensive, captured by American troops, is in a class with Berchtesgaden. . The rockhewn retreat called Al- derhorst at Zandenheim, west. of the famed resort center of Bad Nauheim, was where Hitler spent much of his time in 1940, accom- anied by other Nazi bigwigs. The latest high ranking occupant was Field Marshal Kesselring, who suc- ceeded Von Rundstedt, as German Western Front Commander. The rooms, with their three mile long connecting corridors, are hewn from solid rock, near Tol Mountain, which rests on the remains of an- cient Siegenhain Castle. Huge power operated steel doors in innccent looking log cabins barred the entrance to the retreat. Hitler's headquarters, and those of other Nazi leaders, were built around the rim of an underground ty, giving them outside exposures on rustic terraces invisible frcm the air or countryside below. e — WELL BABY CLINIC The regular Well Baby Clinic will e held tomorrow afternoon, from 1 o'clock to 4 o'clock, in Rocm 108, Juneau Public Health Center, in the Territorial Building. - D Empire wan: ads get quick results, 2 BIG NIGHT FOR ELKS It is another big time fog the spread out the “eats.” Elks tonight when the installation | of officers will take place. | WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 1945 ‘ Deputy .
