One column rolled to within 10 miles of Tarnopol, strategic five-way junction whose capture would shut off the last thin trickle of men and munitions reaching 500.000 isolated Germans to the east over a singletrack line that loops below the severed section of the Odessa-Warsaw Hunk railway. ‘ The 1st Ukrainian Army under the

WASHINGTON, March 7.

Rep. Louis E. Miller. R., Mo., charged today that the administration is trying to block the inquiry into the Federal Communications Commission to cover up instances of “corruption” whose disclosure would bring the Democrats certain defeat

in the coming elections.

Miller, one of the two Republican members of the embattled House FCC investigating committee, declared that “obstruction, intimidation and underhanded tactics” were being employed to halt the study.

the horror of Pearl Harbor.” SEES U-BOAT CAMPAIGN LONDON, March 7 (UP)- A. V.

Alexander, first lord of the admiralty, warned Commons today that Germany is preparing a new U-boat campaign to cripple allied sea communications and promised that Great Britain will “contribute to the Far Eastern war to the maximum of our

jiower.”

He said allied shipping losses in 1943 “were below our most optimistic hopes at the beginning of th • year.” but estimated that the Germans still have as many submarines as at the start of last year.

It Out.

$ Crew-chief. .. Nameless hero of the A.A.F. Other guys wear the wings and ribbons. Other guys plaster Berlin with homhs and shoot down enemy fighters. But that’s O.K.. with the crew-chief. His job is to keep his ship up there in the air. He works all night on her motors, patches up her wounds, gasses her, racks her bombs, cleans her guns, taxis her out to the line and watches his crew take her off. Then he stays on the ground and “sweats it out” until he hears her coming hack. That’s how most of us must fight this war ... by “sweating it out” at home ... by getting the homhs, guns, food and fuel to the men on the fighting fronts. And the closer they come to Victory, the tougher that job will be! We on the railroads know in advance how much more we must do. We know, though passenger service

which men are really responsible for Wyo.. Merril’s executive officer, said

the specially-trained Jungle fighting unit first went into action at a sniall village east of Tiapha Ga, beginning a march down the eastern perimeter

of the Hukawng valley.

“Japanese resistance thus far has not been too great,” Williams reported. He said American patrols kept far ahead to guarantee against surprise and protect the main body of

troops.

‘We expect that a tougli fight is coming." Williams said. "The Japs are beginning to feel the pinch.” There were indications that the trapped 18th division was making an effort to pull out of the Ameri-can-Chimse trap. Meanwhile the Chinese have driven to within 200 yards of Maingkwan which the Japanese were reported burning. Simultaneously a Chinese column driving down the Hukawng valley surprised Japanese positions at Singban on the main road toward Wal-

uwbum.

Today the Japanese, with heavy artillery cut off, ( were putting up desperate resistance to the Chinese and Americans who were poping up all over the jungle. If the American-Chinese plan works, it will result in the biggest bag of Japanese troops thus far in the Burma campaign. The Americans, who have been in the jungles for nearly a month, are being supplied by air. while mules and horses are bringing up heavier equipment from India.

Red Cross has helped make

our trip more enoyabl-e by putting on entertainment programs every day. They also gave us the little bags that they were making back home which contained a book, cigarettes, cards, soap, soap trays, shoe strings,

stationery and razor blades.” Capt. Hurst expressed high praise

for the wonderful work of the Red

Cross.
