Berlin reported that the Americans attacked along a line east of Rheinbreitbach and Ohlenberg, three | and one-half and two miles north of the east end of the Ludendorfl bridge, after violent artillery prepa-| ration. i A dispatch from Lt, Gen. Omar N, Bradley's 12th: army group headquarters said the allied tactical air forces needed a day of good weather to get in their work on the German positions before the bridgehead. But this was not the day, it added, and the dirty weather was even holding -down the desperate efforts of the German air force, This report said the Germans had lost 31 planes in “suicide raids.” | ‘They were reported diving on the Ludendorff bridge under apparent) orders to get it at any cost.

Bring Up Big Gun

German artillery fire still pounded fhe 1st army positions. Besides large numbers of 88's, the Germans had brought up a large railroad gun for use against the wedge cutting more than four miles into inner Germany from a -base of at least 10 miles along the Rhine Baitling to - better yesterday's| gains of up to a mile and a quarter, | the Americans were advancing slowly | but steadily in the face of fairly stiff | resistance from small enemy pockets using automatic weapons, tanks | and self-propelled guns. At least 23 towns and villages al- | ready “had been captured. Rein-|" forcements of men, armor and sup-| plies poured across the captured Ludendorff bridge in an unending stream despite enemy fire that already has damaged the span. Berlin estimated that more than 50,000 | troops and several hundred tanks already were on the east bank. The remainder of the Western front was quiet - except for -patrol and artillery activity.

The unreliable Brussels radio reported that Hoenningen had been captured, but this was not con-| firmed immediately by front dis-| patches or official sources. The 9th tactical air force was protecting the Ludendorff bridge with one of the greatest around-the-clock air umbrellas ever assembled. Twelve Lightnings patrol the bridge itself ceaselessly while three other groups are on constant watch over its... approaches. Still other planes were beating up railway lines over which the Germans might move up reinforcements. On call for an emergency was every air command in Europe. . Only one enemy division has been identified so far around the Remagen perimeter. German planes have attempted _hit-run raids on the bridge, but none in strength.

After receiving formal reports of the C. 1.

He said the rate would be $22.65 an hour, but he guaranteed the job wouldn't cost more | than $464. However, he “later revised his story to say that only one monkey and five men would be required for the ov."

While the C. I. 0. men were helping to start the London con-

| ference, the executive council of | the A. F, of L. was meeting in | Miami.

Mr. Thomas also gave the official €. I. O. blessing to his organization's liaison with Soviet Russia—a theme that appeared in most of the other ‘numerous

speeches. n ” ” “THE

ary propaganda have attempted

| to build a wall between. the Rus-

sians and the rest of the world,”

he shouted. “The Russian workers had been held outside the_ circle of international labor. Some sald their unions were not democratic; others that they were merely the instruments of the Russian foreign office.

“We saw no such signs in the conducl of the Russian delegation in London. . .. In war as in peace the Russians belong with us and we belong with them in all sincere efforts to achieve international labor solidarity and lasting world peace.”

Andrei-Gromyko, the Soviet ambassador to the United States, received a great ovation as the chief speaker.

He declared: “Germany, which

has inflicted tremendous destruc-

tion upon the countries and regions occupied by her troops, must return what has been stolen and compensate in kind, to the maximum possible extent, the material

| losses inflicted upon these coun- | tries and regions.”

There has been created, said Mr. Hillman, “an international labor organization that can speak and act with authority on behalf of the great mass of the workers. of the world. Perhaps never before in history has so powerful an instrument been created to express the views and make known the will of the common man.”

Other speakers included Senator Claude Pepper (D. Fla), New Dealer and internationalist; Mayor LaGuardia ‘of New York; Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas (D. Cal) and Joseph Curran, president of the National Maritime union.

Water Permitted In OPA Highball

NEW YORK, March 13 (U. P)). —The regional office ot the office of price administration told bartenders and their customers today what makes a highball, 1945 style. Whisky and ginger ale, said a spokesman for Administrator Daniel P. Woolley, used to be the “popular conception of a highball.” Now; he said, “it may be whisky and club soda, and I suppose that if you use water and whisky, it will. also be a highball.” The definition was issued as a companion bulletih to a pair of new OPA posters listing ceiling prices of malt and alcoholic beverages.
