The final drive into the OBO sub- urb, about a mile from the main part of the big river port, was made from the town of Madaya, on the east bank of the Irrawaddy River above Mandalay, by troops of the 19th Divi- sion, who established a bridgehead at Xingu last month.

By The Associated Press{ PORTSMOUTH, O., March 8- The Ohio Valley appeared to be win- ning its fight against the third most disastrous flood in its history tonight, but the issue was undecided at some points. The cost was terrific. Although less serious than floods of 1937 and 1913, the rain-fed Ohio River and its tributaries laid siege to hundreds of war arsenals in the rich industrial valley, took atleast 10 lives and forced possibly 150,000 persons from their homes. Control Provisions Made The crests, however, were headed downstream to the broad Mississippi, and there, flood control provisions were expected to keep the waters in bounds. Portsmouth was the scene of the stiffest fight against the Ohio. Sand- bag and earthwork dikes were erect- ed atop the city's 62-foot floodwall as waters of the Ohio and the Scioto rose above the permanent barrier. The water stood at 64.3 feet. Sandbags Dropped to Volunteers Empty sandbags were flown to the beleaguered city by army troop-car- rying transports. They were dropped to soldiers and volunteers-including men, women and children-erecting the hasty breastworks. The river was ebbing at Pittsburgh, where it is formed by the confluence of the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers. Other cities along Ohio's eastern border, such as East Liver- pool and Steubenville, reported the waters receding, but days must elapse before thousands who fled to theI highlands can. return and begin the job of drying out their homes. For some of them this is. an almost-an- nual task. Families Flee From Homes Other Ohio points, however, were still battling to keep slowly-rising flood waters from breaching their de- fenses. Marietta looked for another half foot of water, sending the flood surface to 48.5 feet. Nearly 300 fam- ilies left their homes there. Louisville, Ky., expected a crest of 47.5 feet tonight or tomorrow morn- ing, and expected the waters to re- main at that stage for a day or so. Cincinnati's flood receded from a top of 69.2 feet, and then remained stationary. BUY WAR BONDS R ECORD By The Associated Press LONDON, March 9-Capt. Franz! Von Rintelen, who has spent more than ten years in Allied prisons and concentration camps for his German connections in two wars, says Adolf Hitler probably is planning some new masterpiece of wickedness. Von Rintelen has just been released from a detention camp on the Isle of Man. Trim, middle-aged and wearing the button of Britain's St. John's Ambulance Service on his tweed coat, he is as free to walk about London as anyone. Thoroughly German but violently anti-Nqzi, he prays for the day of Hit- ler's downfall but warns that barring{ accidents the Nazi collapse won't be soon. He suspects the Fuehrer has another dirty trick up his sleeve. Military affairs-especially naval aspects of them-were Von Rintelen's specialty. Von Rintelen, former captain of the Imperial German Navy and a, brilliant figure in U: S. society in 1915, was accused of pouring vast sums from Germany into bribery, placing of German agents in vital munitions centers and on ships for He'd'Rather Be In p'rison' Here GRAND RAPIDS, Mar. 8.--(/P)- Lt. Isaac LaVictoire, who lost 73 pounds while he was interned in a Japanese prison camp, said today, "I'd rather to a ten-year stretch in Southern Michigan Prison standing on my head than spend another three and a half years in a Jap concentra- tion camp." LaVictoire, former state psychia- trist at the Southern Michigan Prison at Jackson, was freed in the daring action of an American rescue squad at Cabanatuan Prison Camp on Lu- zon last month. He said he had regained a pound' a day on American food but still had 30 pounds to go. His wife resides in Ann Arbor. sabotage, and of an attempt to in- volve Mexico in a war with the U. S. He fled the country, but was taken off ship near England and re- turned to New York to stand trial. Convicted of sabotage in federal court, he was sentenced to two prison terms and sent to Atlanta despite German demands that he be ex- changed. Released by President Wil- son in 1920, he returned to Germany, but went to France in 1926 and later, moved to England where he announc- ed in 1935 that he had returned his German passport and was done with Germany "for good." In England during the early days of this war, the subject of one of his lectures was "Secret Service in Peace and War." He isn't surprised at being locked up occasionally and said the Brit- ish treated him correctly. Now that he is out he says his old life is far behind him. He says he 'has lost all contacts with Germany and isn't interested in establishing any unless to betray the Nazis. "That July 20th attempt on Hit- ler's life-how it was mismanaged," Von Rintelen says feelingly. "I should have been in charge of that affair. It was bungling from beginning to end. Nazis have their own operatives in every phase and corner of German life. They knewI in advance, of course. They had Hitler leave the room for a moment-and boom. It was so childish. "No one can foretell how the end will come," the captain in exile said. "But we can be sure the Nazis will not have the slightest consideration for the German people or any other people." The Rhine and the Oder river in the east are not the last German defense zones, he says. It's been a long time since Von Rintelen sat in a German conference on strategy, but ,he knows the old mentality. Speculations about the war's end, he thinks, should be in terms of 1946 unless fate produces some surprise.
