Postwar Project. The dam and power house, Mr. Wells says he was Informed by MEMORIALS MONUMENTS MARKERS By an Oregon Firm Who Builds Exclusive Memorials and REST w,rh MoteqlTp HARRY G. RAPP last night that Germany must flaht to tile death, echoed In the 'Museow dispatch that large num bers of Germans, Including boys and old men, were moved up to the uoer lor a stand neiore tne capital. Siegfried Line Battered Weukened by the withdrawal of troops for the eastern front, the Siegfried line was assaulted in the west by ten or more Ameri can divisions who edged steadily into a 30-mile fortified zone. There was growing Indication of impending large-scale moves in the west, as Hitler told his people to accept "boundless mis ery'' as the price of continued re sistance. Berlin said tank-led Americans attacked on a broad front on both sides of Monschau and that -Gen. Elsenhower had massed 60 divisions, nearly hall of them armored, all along the western front for a forthcoming full-scale offensive. Yankees Score Gains ' Despite one of the most severe snowstorms of the winter, more than 100,000 U. S. First and Third army troops hammered against a 30-mlle section of the Siegfried line in what may become a new full-scale offensive. The assault area extends from the Monschau region belpw Aachen to the Third army's bridgehead across the Our river into Germany, across the reich frontier on both flanks and gen erally In the area where Marshal von Rundstedt massed for his Ardennes push before Christmas. By last night the American as sault had scored gains up to four miles, overrunning a number of west wall outposts. Freeze Aids Russians The weather oh the eastern front was described by Berlin as "of the unimaginable fury of a natural catastrophe." Lakes and streams were frozen over, facili tating Russian crossings. Zhukov's officers were report ed armed with maps of greater Berlin area. Ills drive from the north to cut off Pomeranla prov ince from the rest of Germany apparently was headed around the capital. His center seemed aimed -directly at Kustrin, im portant rail center 41 miles east of Berlin. His front Inside Ger many had been extended to a width of 160 miles. Konigsberg Encircled Konigsberg In East Prussia was described as encircled, and the Russians said German troops try ing to break throuh to Elblne, East Prussia Baltic oort, were re pulsed. Marienwcder, Vistula es tuary fortress city 34 miles south west of Elbing, was captured. London sources estimated 1,500, 000 German civilians and soldiers were hemmed in or overrun by Russians in the Junkers province. The situation In Silesia, where Marshal Konev's First Ukraine army was reported by the Ger mans advancing from an Oder bridgehead, was shrouded in se curity silence. There were indica tions his troops were crossing the Oder in strength for an advance directly toward Berlin from the southeast to supplement Zhukov's ironiat assault. . 2nd Yank Invasion of Luzon Seals Off Bataan (Continued from Page 1) Kas., Capt. Richard C. Kadel, Fort Knox, Ky., and Capt, Win ston Jones, an Oklahoman min gled with Filipino guerrillas wild ly greeting the invaders. The Yanks of Lt. Gen. Robert L. Eichelberger posed an imme diate menace to prizej Olongapo naval base in Subic bay by racing 11 miles inland the first day past flag-waving Filipinos,' occupying five towns and seizing an air fieldthe 23rd air base won on Luzon.

Japanese Chance Lost It is now too late lor the Japa nese command to attempt what General MacArtliur succeeded in doing in December, 1941 pull back dispersed and outnumbered forces in a converging withdraw al into rugged Bataan, where the Americans held out for four months. Japanese soldiers In mountains north of Bataan, including forces trying to prevent the Americans irom using Clark Held ana fori Stotsenburg, cannot withdraw in to Bataan. Neither can Japanese in the central Luzon plains. There may be other Japanese In the Manila area. They are sep arated by waters of Manila bay from Bataan and the bay is pa trolled by American planes which pounded corregiojr ana cavue naval base with i09 tons of ex plosives Monday. Japs Score In China. It was entirely different story in China.- Japanese imperial headquarters claimed Nipponese armies completed conquest of the last 20 mile stretch of the Canton Hankow railway and captured a U. S. 14th c.'r force air field at Suichwan in western Kwangsi province of southc-n China. Seizure of the railway would solidify Japanese positions on the south China coast, where a U. S. invasion is anticipated, aud give imperial forces a 1,000-mile com munication line from the Manchu rian arsenal to Canton. An unofficial and unconfirmed Japanese broadcast claimed Nip ponese planes sank two British transports and probably a de stroyer in the bay of Bengal near Akvab, Burma. Allied aircraft ruthlessly pound ed Japanese in central Burma to cut off possibility of escape. Tokyo Again Raided. Tokyo reported the B-29 harass ing raids during the night on In dustrial Tokyo. The Nippon-controlled Peiping radio commented superfort raids on Japan have be come lally routine, "Just like ra tioning." " Japan's Dome! news agency re ported the death of five more generals. In the past eight months Tokyo has announced the deaths of approximately 110 rank- ing army and naval officers.
