At the same time infantry swung South and southeast from Ubach in the direction of captured Stolberg, due east of Aachen, and scored gains of more than a mile.

The reaction to the U. S. barrage was indicated by a letter found in an occupied German trench. It said: “Here the walls are trembling. The Americans try with everything at their disposal to push into the Reich. I have never seen anything like this on the Eastern front.” At Pt.

the second to the first floor. In addition to assault and battery, Mr. and Mrs. Gifford also were held on malicious trespass and disorderly conduct counts. Mrs. Gifford temporarily slowed investigation of the explosion by ordering police and newspapermen from the premises, witnesses said. Later an inspection of the home was made by Karl Schafer of the state board of health, Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city health board secretary and a representatitve of the fire marghal’s office. Apparently touched off by ignition of gas fumes which had accumulated near the cefling of Mr. Settle’s upper-story room, the blast ripped down the inside wall of another room across the hall, shattered several windows and sent bedclothes flying into a nearby tree. Twenty-four other persons in the home at the time of the explosion, were uninjured. When Victor Peterson, another Times photographer, later photographed scenes of the damage, estimated at $500, William B. Miller, attorney for the Giffords, threatened to “smash” his camera also,
DENIES ANY POLITICS IN DEMOBILIZATION
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 (U. P)~— Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson said today that no “political or economic factors” entered into the army's plans for partial demobilization of its forces upon the defeat of Germany. The speed of army demobilization, Stimson said, will be governed solely by two factors—the extent of forces needed to defeat Japan quickly, and available shipping. Except for those two limiting factors, the army is planning to discharge soidiers as quickly as possible, Stimson told his press confer-
