were pouring over the shell-swept Saar bridge for the next stages of ‘the assault. . Along a 40-mile front to the southeast, Patton swung his right flank northward to within a little more than six miles of Saarbrucken, He also was five miles from the French border city of Saareguemines. ‘ Patton's artillery already was bombarding Saarbrucken. The battle along the Roer river before Cologne and Dusseldorf set tiled down largely to patrol action, The 1st and 9th armies were gathering strength for a lunge to the
, east bank of the Roer,
Bridgehead Flooded
At the northern tip of the 400mile Western front, the Germans blew up dikes along the lower Rhine river in Holland. The BritishCanadian brifigehead above Nij~ megen was flooded to a depth of a foot in some places. The Canadians “changed” some positions in the flooded area, dispatches said. British troops in Southeast Holland liquidated the German bridgehead ‘west of Venlo. Patton ordered his 3d army forces eastward from Saarlautern in an effort to exploit their successful crossing of the Saar river. He hoped to catch the enemy off balance. The Germans were laying down an especially heavy barrage on the Sarrlautern bridge. At last reports is still was intact.

Enemy resistance was reported Siltlening along the entire 3d army ront, Coming up abreast of Patton's right plank, Lt. Gén. Alexander M. Patch's American 7th army cleared Diemeringen, four miles east of Baar Unjon,-and Volksberg, eight miles east. Other troops working out of the

not hesitate to use the considerable British army now ih Greece and being reinforced to see that law and
order are maintained,” he said. Confronted by a stormy labor demand for full dress debate on the crisis in Greece, Churchill turned it down on the grounds of prior arrangements for consideration of other subjects at this time,
Reviews Situation
Churchill, reviewing the Greek
situation, said that “on the evidence so far available, I am not prepared to say who started the firing’ when E. A. M. forces demonstrated in the principal square of Athens. “It is deplorable that an event like this should take place in Athens scarcely a month after the city’s liberation,” he said. “Greece is faced with most desperate economic and financial problems, apart from civil war, which) we are trying to stop.” He said the “main burden falls on us” and responsibility “is within our allied military sphere—that is, our military sphere agreed upon by our principal allies.
Greeks Must Help
“Our plans will not succeed unless the Greek government and the whole Greek people exert themselves on their own behalf. “If the damage of four years of war and enemy occupation is to be repaired; and if Greek life and economy are to be rebuilt, their internal stability must be maintained pending a general election urtier fair conditions. “The authority of the constitutional Greek government must be accepted and enforced throughout the country. “Armed force must be dependent on the Greek government. No government can have a sure foundation so long as there ,are private armies owing allegiance to a group, party or ideology instead of to the state or nation.
Raps Resignations
“Although these facts should be clear to all, left wing and Communist ministers have resigned from the Greek government at this dangerous crisis. They have done this rather than implement measures to which they had already agreed for replacement of E. A. M. police and guerrillas by regular national services.” Athens said leftist E. L. A. 8. forces attacked the gendarmerie barracks of Hadjikosta in the center of Athens. A pitched battle ensued ‘with both sides using mortars. Demonstrators besieged the Athens police headquarters, where the struggle was intense. The known death toll in the rioting stood at 27 before hostilities were resumed today. The leftist leaders proclaimed their intention of carrying on until they have won a new government, Athens police estimated that about 100 persons were killed in yesterday's rioting and possibly as many as 250 persons were wounded. Forty-three were killed or spirited away by the E. L. A. 8. forces in an attack last night on city prisons, authorities said.

fronts by jeep, afoot and by aircraft. I was under artillery, mor. tar and shell fire, and experienced air bombardment, strafing, flying bombs and V-2's.
It -Will Take Some Time
During these travels: I, had extensive talks with land and air forcé generals and men of all ranks. I studied. confidential reports and enjoyed access to the most and best latest military information. This non-armchair survey attempts to place the situation in the proper perspective. The nearer-one gets to the fighting fronts the more one hears that it undoubtedly will require some months yet to crush Germany militarily, The closer one comes under direct enemy fire the more one learns that the Germans are not a broken force but still are capable of rugged fighting. Nazis, Militarily Hopeless But Germany's position is militarily hopeless based on the overall situation. Germany can't possibly win the war on the battlefield. The Germans lack the necessary minimum manpower. Germany lacks adequate raw materials to carry on: The Nazi oil and fuel situation daily becomes more precarious. The reich’s industrial and economic structure is sagging without any hopes of recovery. . The loss of the Ruhr will virtually ‘halt Germany's means of waging war. Mounting allied pressure closing in on Germany on all sides cannot be denied. ‘The Germans now are fighting all alone as a waning power against the combined might of America, Russia and British Empire, France and the occupied countries at the end of five and a half years of total war. \
Skill In Retreating
Hitler's military machine is fighting almost without an air force. It is becoming too thin at too many vital points. This doesn’t mean, however, that the fighting is all over or that gigantic home front efforts and all out battles wont be required. It does seem to rule out victory in Europe this year. If anyone doubts the Germans still are resisting tenaciously, they should study the casualties or appreciate the fact that some of our crack armies even after bitter fighting advance less than a mile
well executed offensives, The ‘Germans are utilizing all their old-time skill in retreating to make the process just as slow and ‘costly to the allies as possible,

EXPLAINS WHY P-T5
WRIGHT FIELD, Dayton, O., Dec. 5 (U. P.).—Air Technical Service command headquarters here announced today that production of the P-75 army fighter plane, powered by Allison's 24-cylinder “W” engine, was discontinued. to enable manufacturers to concentrate on B29 Superfortresses and. because need for the P-75 was not as urgent. ATSC said recent improvements in other fighter planes had enabled
P-75 was intended although development of the P-75 will be continued jointly by the army, Fisher Body Co. and the Allison division of General Motors. ~ Cancellation of P-75 contracts, ATSC said, will enable Fisher Body to concentrate on, the production of sub-assemblies for the B-29 Superfortress. - The P-75 was offered to the army by ‘Fisher.body division in 1943 in answer to the army air forces’ search for a fighter plane with extremely long range, high speed and high ceiling for bomber escort purposes.

against MacLeish were cast by Senators Arthur H. Vandenberg (R. Mich.), Wallace H. White Jr. (R. Me.), Robert M. LaFollette Jr: (Prog. Wis.) and Bennett Clark (D. Mo.). Senators Vandenberg, White and LaFollette were the only minority party committeemen present, Committee members reported there also was “some discussion” of the appointment of Nelson A. Rockefeller as assistant secretary. Some members reserved the right to oppose some of the names when
they are brought up. on the floor of the senate for confirmation.
Approve ‘New Posts
The committee also approved a bill to create two new assistant secretaryships, raising the total to six. The two new posts, it was understood,. will be filled by James C.
ropean division, and Brig. Gen. Julius C. Holmes, civil affairs director on the staff of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, The reorganization of the department was regarded as preparing it for “strong” leadership of American foreign policy in the critical years ahead. Mr. Roosevelt nominated the four new officials yesterday—only three days after 44-year-old Edward R. Stettinius Jr., succeeded Cordell Hull as secretary. Three former assistant secretaries resigned to clear the way for the reorganization.
Will Absorb Bureaus
The President revealed that the department would absorb the work of the office of co-ordination of inter-American affairs now headed by Rockefeller, There were indications the department may later take in some of the functions of the foreign economic ‘administration and any office of war information activities that are retained after the war. “Other appointments strengthening the state department will be made in the near future,” he prom-
Mr. Grew’s appointment drew special praise in congress In contrast to Mr. Stettinius, a relative newcomer to world diplomacy, Mr. Grew is a veteran in international politics. He has had experience in both Europe and the Far East.
Holds Press Conference
Mr. Stettinius, holding his first news conference since last Friday, said the reorganization would reach into the basic structure of the state department with a thorough realignment of many functions. Mr. Stettinius declined to discuss Mr. Clayton's economic policy until | he begins work in the department, Mr. Clayton will take charge of United States foreign economic affairs, Reorganization plans are still being completed, Stettinius said. They will be outlined more thoroughly in a few days. He urged reporters to dispense with questions on the reorganization until the full story is ready.
Speculation Aroused The state department changes aroused speculation in some quarters that Mr. Roosevelt was prepare ing to make other cabinet reorganizations: Long-rumored changes involving Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones, Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins and Postmaster General Frank C.
Walker were cited.

Party leaders know this is a “hot potato” that will have to be digested someway. 4 On the one side they have tremendous pressure from party workers who want “adequate rewards.” And on the other, they will have tremendous pressure from groups who do not want the beer business returned to fits. former Patronage “pie counter” status. Groaned one Republican official: “Here we cleaned up the beer wholesale business with the 1938 and 1941 laws. But we cleaned it up for the Democrats who are already in. Now our boys want in.”
‘Ins’ Depend on ODT
The “ins” think that the ODT regulations will stop the Republican move to get the beer wholesale business. “This agency, they think, will refuse to grant permits to buy new trucks. And too, dealers just beginning would have trouble getting refrigerators. But the Republicans have an answer for this, They think that a beer wholesaler whose permit was not renewed would be forced to sell his equipment, The “ins” think too that with 31 Democrats in the house there will be enough ‘‘dry” Republicans who would be willing to go along to stop the move. “If the Republicans do this,” said ne, “it will ruin them. Our business is clean now and the people won't stand for a return to the old days.”
Heavy Contributors
One of the things that has goaded the Republicans, particularly the county chairmen, is that the Democratic permit holders have been among the heaviest contributors to Democratic coffers.
