In the Senate, the majority party’s election codification bill, differing considerably from the state election codification commission's recommendations, was presented but it was hardly recognizable as such. Sponsors said the briefly worded measure to recodify the vote law would require numerous amendments before passage, in order to insert controversial clauses now missing fro mthe bill. Other bills, dwarfed in attention because of the tidal wave of new legislation which came oa the concluding day, would increase the salaries of city officials in the larger municipalities; provide for the non-partisan election of judges; give the state welfare department power to license day nurseries and children’s homes; give war veterans preference In state jobs under the merit system; authorize the state to acquire an office building, and allow local communities to issue bonds for post-war improvements.

THIRD ARMY (Continued from Pn«e One) due west of Prum. The Siegfried break-through apparently was made in the Brandscheld area and east of Buchet, where the enemy’s fixed defenses were believed to be thinnest because of the rugged terrain. Newly-conatructed pillboxes and tank traps were expected to hamper the American advance behind the west wall, however. On the First Army front, units of the American 78th Division were fanning out along the west bank of the Roer river immediately north of captured Ruhrberg. On their right flank, the Ninth Infantry seized the Urtalsperre dam intact and was closing in rapidly on the huge Schwammenuel dam, the main dam controlling the level at the Roer to the north. American control of the Roer dams would facilitate an offensive across th« lower reaches of the river on tha U. 8. Ninth and British Second fronts
