In Nazi Forest
1st Army Men Battle
For Roer River Dams
On Northern Frontier
Paris, Feb. 6 UPi American
Third army troops broke through
the Siegfried line at a number of
points in Germany's Schnee Eifel
forest today and closed in on the
west wall bastion of Prum along
an eight-mile front.
Twenty-five miles to the north
infantrymen of the U. S. First
army were locked In a hard fight
for the Roer river dams and the
last belt of Siegfried pillboxes
covering the approaches to the
Cologne plain.
At the southern end of the
front, American and French
troops splintered the German
Docket around Colmar into iso
lated groups and laid a curtain of
shellfire across the enemy's Rhine
river escape bridges.
Nazis In Flight
Thousands of nazi troops were
reported in full flight across the
Rhine from Alsace under heavy
artillery fire, leaving 1,500 to
2,000 of their number hopelessly
trapped behind the allied lines in
the Vosges mountains.
Field dispatches said the Ameri
can First and Third armies were
grinding steadily forward through
the eastern fringes of the Sieg-'
fried line, bursting through that
barrier at some, points in a me
thodical advance that was begin
ning to threaten the entire Ger
man position west of the Rhine.
German resistance was stilten
ing, however, particularly on the
Third army front where Lt. Gen.
George S. Patton's infantry divi
sions ran into increasingly-heavy
counterattacks.
Patton's Men Gain
Patton's troops hammered out
gains- of aTntle-and-Kre- on an
eight -mile front before Prum,
capturing Habscheid, seven miles
west-southwest of that communi
cations center, and Schlausenbach,
six miles to the northwest.
Three miles below Schlausen
bach, the doughboys pushed to
within 3M miles of Prum after a
two mile advance from Buchet
while still farther south they cap
tured Brandscheid, only to run
into a sharp counterattack that
carried the Germans back into the
town. At last reports, heavy fight
ing was continuing inside Brand
scheid, five miles due west of
Prum.
The Siegfried break-through ap
parently was made in the Brand
scheid area and east of Buchet,
where the enemy's fixed defenses
were believed to be thinnest be
cause of the rugged terrain. Newly-constructed
pillboxes and tank
traps were expected to hamper the
American advance behind the west
wall, however.

Priority of Dog
To Receive Study
Washington, Feb. 6 (IP) Sen.
Harlan J. Bushfield, R., S. D., de
manded today that the senate be
given an explanation of how Col.
Eliott Roosevelt's dog Blaze got
an "A" priority on an army cargo
plane before a vote is taken on
promotion of the president's son to
Dngaaier general. ,
- Bushfield late yesterday forcad
postponement of a senate vote on
the promotion for one week. He
told reporters he was "hopeful"
that a senate military affairs sub
committee investigating alleged
air priority abuses could mean
while turn up evidence on the
Blaze incident.
The priorities subcommittee
was appointed after it was dis
closed that Blaze, a bull mastiff,
held an "A" priority on a flight
from Washington to California
and "bumped" three service men
on leave en route.
Delay Sought .
Sen. Tom Stewart, D., Tenn.,
subcommittee chairman, was dubi
ous about Bushfleld's getting the
information within a week but an
other member, Sen. Styles Bridg
es, R., N. H., said he would press
to meet the deadline.
Bushfield said it was the dog in
cident which prompted him to de
mand a week's delay on the
Roosevelt promotion. Because
senate democratic leader Alben
W. Barkley of Kentucky refused
to single out the Roosevelt pro
motion for delay, action was held
up on the entire list of 78 nomina
tions to brigadier general.

troops had landed Jan. 18 on Is
land of Poro, in the Camotes sea
between Leyte and Cebu in the
Philippines.
The dispatch, recorded by FCC,
followed a report yesterday that
another force of 3,000 Americans
landed the same day on Jolo, main

Suffers Blow
InCanadaVote
McNaughton Loses Seat;
John Bracken Emerges
As Party's Strong Man
Ottawa. Feb. 6 Ui Political ob
servers said today that the defeat
of Defense Minister A. G. L. Mc
Naughton In his by-election bid to
keep his seat in parliament was a
serious blow to the leadership of
Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie
Kin?.
Endorsed by King, McNauehton
was soundly beaten in Grev North,
Ont, Riding bv Proeressive Con
servative Garfield Case, whose op
position party stands for all-out
conscription of Canadian youth
for combat service overseas.
Case defeated McNaughton bv
a plurality of more than 1.000
votes in a three-candidate field.
Forecasts Made
The decision of the Riding's 17,
115 voters promised far-reaching
political reaction in Canada. Poli
tical analysts today foresaw these
consenuences:
1. King's chances of surviving
the forthcoming general election
were not better than 50-50.
2. Progressive Conservative Par
ty leader John Bracken has
emerged as a strong contender for
the Drime ministry.
3. A showdown battle lor do
minion leadership will develop Im
mediately and culminate in a gen
eral election that may come earlier
than King anticipated, possibly in
mid-April.
4. King probably will not call
another session of parliament be
fore general elections, thus depriv
ing his party of whatever oppor
tunities such a session would pro
vide for entrenching itself."
' Is Cabinet Member
An immediate result of Me-
Naughton's defeat was that the
defense minister will be unable to
present his department's budge
tary needs or any other matters of
his ministry to commons. He is a
cabinet member without standing
in commons, although commons
could grant him special permis
sion to appear before that body.
King blamed the PC and the
cooperative commonwealth fed
eration opposition for "creating
and fostering the very circum
stances which may make a gen
eral election Inevitable ... at the
most critical of all stages of the
war."
McNaughton polled 6,037 votes,
35.3 per cent, to Case's 7.342, 43.7
per cent, and CCF's Earl Godfrey's
3,736, or 22 per cent.

Spies Landed From Nazi Sub
Go on Trial and Plead Innocent
Military Commission, Sitting Behind Closed
.: uoors, Hears tvidence; First Motion Denied
New York, Feb.,6 OLE) .William C.ColepauRh and Eric
Gi'mpel, alleged nazi spies, pleaded Innocent today as they
went on trial nerore a military commission, sittinsr behind
closed doors at Governor's island in the shadow of the statue
of liberty. ;
The two men were arrested last November after a German
suomanne landed two spies on the coast of Maine.
Gimpel's voice was barely audible as he replied "not
jruilty," but Colepaugh spoke loudly. Before the prisoners sat
the seven man military commission, flanked bv three Ameri
can i lags.
The first witness, Lt. Comdr. Frank Gordon, USNR, was
ysworn in two hours after the
trial opened. Gordon, an op
erations officer, identified
"certain maps and charts" and
was on the stand when the
trial recessed at noon.
Trial Is Secret
All information was given out
at public relations offices of the
army's second service command,
under whose jurisdiction the ac
cused were being tried In star
chamber procedure at Governor's
island.
The two men were brought In
from the island's Jail shortly after
the commission convened. The
German born Glmpel entered first,
in a blue suit and colored shirt.
His face was expressionless:
Colepaugh, a Connecticut Yank
ee who deserted the U. S. mer
chant marine and went to a sabo
teurs' school In Germany, followed
Glmpel. He was cleanly shaven,
and a lock of his hair fell, Hitler
fashion over one eye.
Motions Denied
Counsel for the defense moved
that the two men be tried sepa
rately on the grounds that each
made damaging statements about
the other to the federal bureau of
Investigation following their ar
rest last November. The defense
also moved that a charge of con
spiracy be stricken out on the
grounds that no overt act was al
leged, only intent.
Both motions were denied by
the court following a brief recess.
