Allied Armor at Seigfried Line Under Huge Air.Umbrella

(Continued From Page One)

Oslo broadcast reported crossings east of Malifiedy, Belgium, between

‘{ Trier and Eupen, ‘and southwest of

Trier. Beyond Frontier

“The invasion pf Germany itself appeared und y in force as a general advance continued eastward foward the Siegfried line,

‘| which on the 1st army army front

lies about five to 10 miles behind the frontier,” the headquarters dispatch said in reporting advanced elements in touch with the last great fortified belt before Berlin, Indications were that the Americans would be in close contact with the Siegfried line at a number .of

| places* very soon.

Meanwhile, the dying Luftwaffe lost 328 planes in the past two days and headquarters revealed that bombs were dropping on the Siegfried line and its supporting bases at the rate of six tons a minute, day and night, in a mighty soften-ing-up barrage that thundered into its sixth straight day today. On the heels of a dramatic warning from Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower that German civilians must quit the Ruhr and Rhineland or be bombed out, a great parade of American and British warplanes swarmed .out over the advancing allied armies this morning to spread new ruin through the enemy's west wall fortifications. A Berlin broadcast, recorded by F.C.C, indicated that Italian based planes also were out again. The broadcast said allied bombers from the west were over western and southwestern Germany while formations from the south were, over western Hungary. A blanket of security censorship obscured the advance of the American 1st army’s two spearheads into Germany south of Aachen and beyond Trier, but correspondents were permitted to reveal that both columns were operating in strength and that new crossings of the border were imminent at six other undisclosed points. Another great striking arm, the newly constituted allied air-borne army, also was ready to join in the battle for the Nazi homeland. Head‘quarters refused to comment, however, on a Paris radio report that the paratroopers and glider-borne infantry would soon be landed behind the Siegfried line to smash the enemy's communications and tradsport. Disclosure that the 9th army was in the field came as French units of the American 7th army from the south reached the Seine at Chatillon, 42 miles northwest of Dijon and 03 miles southeast of Nancy, and effected a junction in force with Lt. Gen. George S. Patton's 3d army. Other Tth army divisions thrust northward along a line 70 to 100 miles west of the German border to

line on Patton's right flank apposite the Belfort gap.

Stream Into Germany

Front dispatches said the American 1st army spearheads in Germany were pounding steadily eastward against relatively light opposition, probing into the main works of the Siegfried line. Tanks equipped with great flails moved ahead of the invasion columns to clear away the enemy minefields, while formations of dive bombers streaked overhead to bomb and ma-

more than six miles into the Reich after a thrust across the

ancient Teuton city of Trier. The main works of the Siegfried line at that point lay some 10 to 12 miles east of the frontier and it was indicated that the Yanks were just driving into the fortified belt. ‘Between the two columns, another 1st army force captured the Belgian town of Bastogne in the Ardennes forest and drove forward 13 miles to take Clervaux in Luxembourg, only four miles short of the Nezi frontier. Malmody and Spa, southeast of Liege, also fell to the Americans. On the 1st army’s southern flank, Patton's’ 3d army fought one of the bitterest battles. of the campaign along the Moselle river line from Metz to Nancy.

Censorship Tight

Censorship prevented all details on the progress of the battle, but a front dispatch from United Press War Correspondent Robert Richards said Patton was putting additional punching power into a half-dozen bridgeheads on the east bank of the river and the situation was more favorable than at-any time since the offensive began. Richards said the Germans were drawing reinforcements from other sectors to prevent a breakthrough on the Moselle. The security “blackout” - also spread fo the British 2d army in the north, where the Tommies were reported to have broken out across the Albert canal and entered Holland. Roundabout German reports via Stockholm said the British advanced 18 miles north of the Belgian town of Petit Brogel and reached the Eindhoven area, almost 10 miles inside Holland,

Smash Eastward *

Other British units driving eastward through Belgium said to be within 4% miles of the German border above Maastricht. Three miles south of Maastricht an American 1st army flying column captured the “mystery fort” of Eben Mael. which the Germans overwhelmed in the first hours of their invasion of the low countries more than four years ago. More than 7000 German prisoners were rounded up in the captured port of Le Havre, after a bloody 38-hour assault by British units of the Canadian 1st army, but the battle for the other channel ports continued unabated. Observers on the British coast reported a thunderous artillery duel was in progress throughout most of last night as the Canadians wheeled hundreds of siege guns up to within point-blank range of Calais, Boulogne and Dunkerque in an effort to blast the Nazis into n.

Berlin Is Raided

Up to 1000 British heavy bombers took part in last night's raid on Frankfurt, which the air ministry said was attacked for tactical reasons “to have an immediate influence in the course of the land battle.” The bombers concentrated on the main rail yard west of Frankfurt which was packed with military

As the tanks Sprvenchad the Siegfried line; the commanding general remained at the command post and calmly wrote a letter to his wife on the occasion of their 10th wedding anniversary. Doughboys washed underwear, shirts and socks on the bank of a small pond. German 88's which until‘a few minutes ago had been shelling Eupen, appeared to be weakening as the tanks advanced. The Eupen population of 12,000, about half Belgian and half German, observed the historic development mostly by peeping from windows of shuttered homes. Most of the German residents have sons and husbands in the retreating Wehrmacht. When I entered Eupen late yes terday with an armdred spearhead, there still was fighting in the main square. There were no welcoming flags out, no cheering or baby kissing. The doughboys no longer were welcomed as conquering heroes. I saw one German woman burst into tears when she saw three German prisoners being hauled in a trailer. German civilians gave the Nazi salute to a dead German soldier on the sidewalk. Small children, not knowing what it was all about, gave us the Nazi salute until their mothers grabbed them and hustled them away. Large posters with German military orders of the day and blackout regulations still hung around the city. One order said: “Fight to the last for the fatherland.

secretary of the social industries committee of the American Friends service committee, and George A. Kuhn, chairman of the Indianapolis Post-War Planning committee.

Urge Better Housing

Mr. Wade and Mr, Ransom hoth spuke of the need for better Negre

housing in Indianapolis, the latter pointing out that “You cannot com= pel a man to live in filth and dirt and then expect him to come out ‘a clean, upright and law-abiding citizen. “I wish to emphasize,” Mr. Ran“that ill-paid and ill-housed people are an unhappy and disgruntled . people and here we find a fertile field for communism and subversive influences.” “Such a group also is the victim of exploitation by the unscrupulous politicians of both parties and incidentally, both races, and from such, a situation you get your dangerous element of citizenship. “On the other hand, Who has ever heard of any serious crime committed by a Negro home-owner? America has no greater asset than ‘her hard-working, home-owning, church-going Negroes.”

Tells of Friends’ Work

Mr. Morris told how the American

Friends Service committee became interested in 1932 in helping the unemployed coal miners, at a time when the coal companies were without funds and before the federal government liad started its relief programs. Near Uniontown, Pa., the experiment was launched. «dt was named Penn-Craft. The coal mining families were loaned $2000 to buy materials. This they repay over a 20year period at 2 per cent interest, making monthly payments, including taxes and insurance, around $13. With this small outlay of cash, five and six-room houses of native stone were built. - Mr. Kuhn, who, along with Paul L. McCord, Indianapolis realtor, and William H. Book, executive secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, inspected the project last week-end, declared that the houses are actually salable at $4500 and could not be duplicated here for less than $6500.

Secret of Low Cost

The secret of building at such low cost is in the swapping of la-

bor. The coal miners swapped work with each other by a carefully planned man-hour system of labor exchange. Each house represents about 3500 man-hours of labor. “Now when you, my neighbor, work for me. I see that you put in a full day's work” Mr. Morris said, “and likewise, when I am working on your house, you see to it that I work as hard and well as you did.” Mr. Morris said that most of the miners hesitated at first, thinking Shey did not have the ability to construct a house of acceptable quality, But, he added, it didn’t take them long to learn some special part of the work with the tesult that the houses are well constructed.

Sees Your Method Working Here

“It is our opinion,” reported Mr. Kuhn, “that the same basic method can be successfully’ applied in Ine dianapolis as a project, primarily, of social improvement. We want to make it clear that the method cannot provide great numbers of houses in a short period of time and hence canhot be looked on as the major solution to our slum clearance and low-cost housing problem. “The time required to select and train the families, and then to construct their homes during periods when their members are not fully employed, could not make possible a rapid rate of redevelopment of our slum areas.

stand firm.”

“The method could be applied to a few families at the start, and

then to increased numbers until after a few years an #ppreciable number of homes could be built and families drawn into the plan. We recommend that a part of any site made available for slum clearance and -improved housing for Negroes in Indianapolis be set aside for this method of home-building. One of the secrets of the success of the plan is that it. is not a socialistic or patrénalistic program. Its basic soundness is that it helps people to help themselves.” Other members of the committee sponsoring the luncheon were Ar-
