MOSCOW,

(R
On
the
eastern
front,
the
Russians
are
massing
for
what
Marshal
Stalin
calls
an
end-of-the-war
stroke.
Tlie
Soviet
forces
have
almost
encircled
the
Nazi
stronghold
of
Guben
on
the
Jfeisse
river
and
now
are
close
"to
a
consolidation
of
Marshal
Zhukov's
army
east
of
Berlin
and
Marshal
Konev's
forces
southeast
of
the
German
capital.
The
Berlin
radio
claims
that
the
final
all-out
Soviet
assault
on
Berlin
Is
imminent.
German
broadcasts
describe
Marshal
Zhukov's
forces
east
of
the
German
capital
as
a
"colossus"
waiting
for
the
signar
to

with

drawn
from

and
Vandernoot
west,
including
Stewart,
Is
advocated
by
the
Smlthers
Board
of
Trade.
The
proposal
was
considered
by
the
executive
of
tlie
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce
ac
a
meeting
Wednesday
night.
Tlie
proposal
whicn
was
pres
ented
at
the
annual
meeting
of
the
Smlthers
board
last
week
suggested
that,
while
the
com
mittee
should
draw
its
members
and
tie
financed
by
the
Joint
Chambers
of
Commerce,
It
should
act
as
an
Independent
unit.
The
executive
or
the
local
chamber
objected
to
too
great
a
degree
of
Independence,
feeling
that
the
committee
would
carry
more
weight
acting
closely
with
the
Chambers
of
Commerce
They
agreed
to
appoint
two
delegates
providing
that
enough
chambers
showed
Interest
to
make
the
move
worth
while
and
expressed
the
opinion
mat
Ques-
nel,
Williams
Lake
and
Prince
George
should
be
included.
Apparent
chief
purpose
ol
tne
committee,
as
suggested
by
the
Smlthers
group,
would
be
to
urge
the
building
of
the
projected
highway
to
Alaska
as
lar
west
as
possible.
Tlie
local
chamber,
however,
has
committed
Itself
to
endorse
whatever
route
is
sel
ected
by
a
future
impartial
sur
vey.
