BIG PI SH OPENS iCmtlBDrd Pmm fur (lari terrain was proving almost as great a barrier as the Germans to the allies’ forward progress. More than 1.200 prisoners were captured in the first onrush. and the bag was reported mounting rapidly. Headquarters spokesmen made
it clear that the big push was on to break open Germany’s western front in coordination with the Red Army march on Berlin from the east. Berlin said the British and American armies bassed along the Roer were deploying for a grand assault on the Cologne
plain.
Still farther south, the American First Army broke through the Siegfried defenses covering the Roer river dams w’hlle Lt. Gen. Georgq S. Patton’s Third Army breached the west wall on an eight mile front before Pruem and won ten crossings of the Sure and Our river lines between Luxembourg and Germany. At the bottom of the allied front, all organized German resistance ended suddenly in southern Alsace, where a combined French and American Army cleared out the Colmar pocket after more than- a month
of fierce fighting.

He also cited novelist Phil Stong, whose first eleven books were rejected but later published after the sue-1 cess of the novel, “State Fair.”' Two things are very important, according to Dr. Pence.

Jap Broadcast Very PessimisHc WASHINGTON, Feb. 9—(UP) —A Japanese Domel agency broadcast drew a parallel today between the plight of the Japanese Army in the (Philippines and that of Gen. Douglas MaeArthur in 1942 in intimating that disaster was at hand unless the Navy came out of hiding. (The broadcast 4vas of a dispatch dated Singapore and was recorded by the Federal Communicationc Cofmission.) On its surface the lispatch predicted confidently that the Navy could be depended upon to protect the flanks of Gon. Tomoyuki Yamashita's Philippines Army and keep in contact with Japanese-held islands south of Luzon, but its genera! tone indicated it was inspired by the Army and was meant lo put responsibility for what it to happen on the Navy. It was apparently the strongest of a series of Army invitations to the Navy to get back into the war. The Cornel “Singapore dispatch'’ was based on the probability that Yamashita would have to withdraw into southern Luzon. This would be a strategic alignment "aimed at consolidating foundations af final victory", Domel said, "while the American withdrawal (in 1942) was a desperate move to stave off final defeat for a few more days.” After Pearl Hartor, the broadcast continued, the American Navy could not help MacArthur, but It could be predicted confidently, that "the Imperial Navy will not only protect Yamashita's flanks, but alto keep him In operational contact with Japanese garrison^ entrenched In numerous Japaneseheld islands to the south." The present situation ocntamed Immense possiollities, Domel said and a blunder now •might well lead the blundering I side to “total destruction and
defeat.”
The Luzon battle was being J fought for high stakes, the' broadcast continued and while' the United States could afford to lose it, Japan could not.
