Conditions In Germany

Christer Jaederlund, for 11 years Berlin correspondent of the Swe- dish newspaper Stockholms-Tld- nlngen, has Just returned to Stock- holm with the latest first-hand account of conditions in Germany. Jaederlund left Berlin because he found it no longer possible to work there.

STOCKHOLM, March 20—-(AP)\ Allied bombings of Berlin have been so devastating that they have‘ reduced the houses and apartments in which 4.250.000 once lived to a state in which they now can llouse only about 500.000.

lln the remnant of Berlin which still stands there is B545. water and electric light. But blocks a- round the Bsyrlschcr Piatz in the southwestern end o! the city have been evacuated because it is no longer possible to keep track of all the time bombs which land in the ruins.

In the east end a "plague wall" of masonry has sealed off awhole block of houses in the Splttelmalt area where piles oi corpses have been rotting because it was found impossible to remove them. The wall runs from ruined house to ruined house to prevent the bread of infection from this strict, which once was the centre oi Ber- lin's flourishing clothing industry. Before the ivar Germany had 25D y large cities. The majority oi them now are rubble heaps. The trans- port system has been largely des- troyed. Practlcally all the sim- plest necessities of normal have been exhausted.

The Nazi structure still holds together. but after the loss of the industries oi upper Silesia, which were Germany's principal food reservoirs. the end is approaching with giant strides.

Why does the Nazi structure still stand? millions of Germans would heave a sigh of relief on being lib- erated from Nazi rule. not to men. tion the Joy they would experience whderl the mass killing comes to an en .

But terror of the Gestapo and concentration camps holds these elements in check just as stern discipline holds a great part oi the German amiy that otherwise would long ago have been scattered. Hatred of the Nazi party is so open and so widespread that one can expect the final settlement to be bloody and terrible. Even top circles peo le are not asking today what wi happen to Hitler, but "what will happen to us?"

By AUSTIN BEALMEAR PARIS. March 20—(AP)—The United States 7th and 3rd Armies formed a junction in the Saarland today in a great co-ordinaled assault that virtually wiped out the last German resistance west of the Rhine and captured the his- loric cities of Saarbruecken, Zweibruecken and Worms.

Contact between the two 26th Infantry Division.

Saarbruecken, a city of 135.00g an economic centre of the industrial Sear, fell to the 1th Army as did Zuelbruecken, 11 miles to the east. Worms, on the Rhine about mid- way between Mainz and Lud- wigshafen-Mannhelm. was seized in a lighting stab by the 4th Ar- mored and 90th Infantry Divisions

of the 3rd Army.

The drive disposed oi the German 1th army and bottled up much oi the German lst Army-the last two i enemy armies west of the Rhine. Under the reientingaseault. the enemy's defences in the Saarland salient collapsed and German troops were attempting to flee eastward by the thousands under a storm of explosives from Allied planes.

To the north. the United States 1st Army overrnn more than 40 villages inside the Rhine bridge- head and fought into a suburb of Bonn. clamping an iron grip on approximately 24 miles of the east bank oi the Rhine. v
