Paris, Feb. 15 IP Canadian
troops broke through to the
Rhine opposite Emmerich today
and locked in a blazing battle for
a crossing that would outflank
the main Seigfried fortifications
guarding Germany's industrial
Ruhr valley.
On the Canadians' right flank,
veteran Scots and English divi
sions lashed out east and south
of the reich forest on the direct
road to the Ruhr, rolling up the
nazi defenses before Goch and
Calcar, two key road centers
whose capture might unlock the
door to Germany s last big indus
trial concentration.
The whole Canadian first army
front was on the move, sparked
by a thundering Allied aerial
bombardment that in the past 24
hours had spread death and ruin
up and down the Rhineland in the
path of the attacking ground
Nazis Fight Back -
The Germans were fighting
savagely with their backs to the
Rhine and pumping in fresh re

but field dispatches said the re
appearance of Allied airpower
over the battlefield had given a
new lift to the British drive.
Wearied and mud-stained after
a week of bitter slogging, across
the flooded Rhineland, Canadian
troops on the northern flank of
Lt. Gen. H. D. G. Crerar's attack
front went forward to the Rhine
with a rush early today.
The Canadians caDtured Warbe-'

Initial Test Vote
Washington, Feb. 15 IIP) The
George bill survived its initial
house test today. Democrats, by
a 202 to 192 vote, blocked a re
publican move to send the meas
ure back to the rules committee.
The vote was accepted of a
rules committee decision sending
the bill to the floor without
special safeguards to assure con
sideration of board republican
sponsored amendments.
The vote came after Rep. E. E.
Cox, D., Ga., a rules committee
member, said approval of the bill
by the senate and subsequently
by the house banking committee
was a "vote of lack of confidence"
in Henry A. Wallace.
Provisions Explained
The bill would divorce the fed
eral loan agency from the com
merce department. Its passage
is expected to clear the way for
confirmation of Wallace as sec
retary of commerce.
Republicans argued that the
banking committee had not given
thorough consideration to the bill.
I They insisted that the house
should be given an opportunity-
denied by the rules committee de-
cision to vote
on all proposed
amendments.

dropped from the 7th AAF Lib

a string of 12 Jap planes lined up
along an Iwo Jima lsiana airstrip,
was told by Second Lieutenant J.

The Jap aircraft were destroyed
during one of the 15 combat mis

flown over Iwo Jima.
"The Japs had lined up the
planes all in a row," said Lt. Grif
fiths. "Along with other Libera

run right down the line. We
raked the string from one end to
the other with 100-pound bombs

Superfort formations dropped
'bombs and incendiaries in the
heart of the war production
area and "caused fires to
break out and some damage,"
Tokyo said.
The big bombers took off
from both Saipan and Tinian.
Early reports said bombing
runs over Nagoya were made
through an overcast of high
clouds.
Big Force Used
The phraseology : "large task
force" was used officially for the
first time since B-29 operations
began, indicating the raiders went
out in one of the largest forma
tions yet sent against Japan. To
kyo radio, however, said the Na
goya attackers numbered 60.
The new B-29 airstrip on Tinian
will be the first of a series of run
ways capable of flashing Super
forts into the air on a scale not
yet approached in operations
against the Japanese homeland.
Thus the significance and eventual
scope of long-range, strategic bom-!
Daroment of japan from the Mari
anas finally has been revealed.'
With Saipan in full operation
and Tinian added as a base and
Guam established as permanent
headquarters of the 21st bomber
command, all three islands lying
on the road to Tokyo have been
integrated as a hugh area for
stepping up the aerial offensive.

major break - throuirh the
Neisse line and the planting of
soviet spearheads about 60

Dresden in, that sector.
Neisse Kiver Reached
Moscow advices said that south
of Forst the Russians were storm

in an apparent break, across the
Neisse.
. The nazi spokesman, ouoted in
a broadcast from Berlin, said
Konev's army and that of Marshal
Gregory K. Zhukov had made a
junction southeast of Berlin.
Zhukov's First White Russian
army has been checked along the
