In other sectors of the 24 army front, German counter-thrusts dwindled and the fighting slack- | ened generally. Northeast of Ant-| werp troops .of the Canadian 1st army were moving slowly and unspectacularly through the area of the Dutch border north of Merxplas. Front. reports said no German counter-attacks developed between Arnhem and Nijmegen between the two branches of the Rhine. Allied planes destroyed a column of 300 German syclists moving into: the area. Gorrell reported that several hundred guns, ranging from Long Tom 1558's to the huge 240 mm. rifles exploded an intense bombardment on the Siegfried pillboxes as wave after wave of medium bombers swept in and fained explosives on the ‘German fortifications from heights of a few thousand feet. The U. 8S: shellfire almost paralyzed the Nazi anti-aircraft batteries, giving the bombers relative freedom for their screaming dives! and runs.

The Canadian 1st army made a new crossing into Holland at Barle Duc, north of Turnhout, while British forces were smashing increasingly heavy German counterattacks against the tip of the allied salient below Arnhem.

KIDNAP SUSP
Disappear During Evening.
DETROIT, Oct. 2 (U. P).— Search. for clues in the disappear~ ance of an 18-year-old nursemaid and a four-months-old boy she 1s suspected of abducting while the baby's parents were attending a movie Saturday night turned today to a high school and an apartment to which a cab driver reported driving a girl and baby. Police reported the belief that Helen Rosman had gone to Pittsburgh with the baby, Robert King, was discounted after checking a report that they had been seen by a railroad’ station information clerk. Special investigation squads meanwhile questioned students at Northern high school because the maid told her part-time employer that she was a senior there, and checked the cab driver's tip.
Gives Information
Raymond Watkins, 44, the cab driver, told officers he picked up a girl and baby in front of a neighborhood theater Saturday night and drove them to an apartment in a high-class residential neighborhood some two miles away. The parents, Mr. and Mrs, Clarence King, told police Miss Rossman answered their newspaper advertisement for a part-time nursemaid a week ago, She gavé the name of an army doctor as reference. The missing child's father is an assistant sales manager for a realty company and the family is of moderate means. Police believed that the girl may - have a frustrated mother urge. King said he and his wife were delighted by the opportunity to see a motion picture when she volunteered to stay beyond her usual 8 Pp. m. quitting time. When they returned, Miss Rosman, who had not collected her week's pay, and the “baby were! missing.
