EUROPE: PACIFIC: Span Harriers Stubborn Foe From the west and from the east the great battle for Germany was begun, with a sorely pressed Nazi command, which once marshalled Its legions In triumph, desperately attempting to stem the Allied tide. Most significant of the Allied moves was the U. S. crossing of the Rhine in pursuit of a disorganized enemy, who hud broken off the bat tie to the west of the river and at tempted to flee to supposed security behind Its broad span, previously un crossed since Napoleon’s time. Smashing quickly through enemy rear guards, who tried to slow up the U. S. and British advance and give the main body of their troops a chance to escape across the Rhine, Allied spearheads not only reached the historic river in short time but also spanned it with the intention of affording the disorganized enemy no opportunity to reform his ranks for a stiff defense of the waterway. To Lt. Oen. Courtney Hodges’ 1st American army went the honor of being the first Allied unit to Jump the Rhine below Cologne. Crossing where the river measured a quar- From 8/Sgt. Thomas J.

During the Allied comeback against Von Rundstedt's of fensive In January, Yanks reached the swift and Icy Sure river, and fared the Gen.

Inspired, they followed, capturing Betten dorf. ter mile In width and its banks flat tened out, Hodges' men steadily ex panded their bridgehead for a thrust across the rolling hill country lying just below the vital Ruhr valley. As Hedges’ troops poured across the Rhine in the wake of Germans straggling inland, the enemy tried to chop up the American beachhead with mortar and artillery Are, and armored elements launched limited counterattacks in an attempt to trim the expanding foothold. While Hodges' famous 1st attained the singular honor of becoming the first m ilitary force to cross the Rhine since 1813, the U. S. 9th and British and Canadian armies to the north and the U. S. 3rd army to the south also drew up to the r,ver in record time, poised for the leap after having cleared huge pockets of en emy troops to their rear. Meanwhile, the Russians launched a broad all-out assault on Berlin, with Red infantrymen, paced by armored columns, smashing deep into the en emy defenses west of the Oder. Thus did the Allies breach the Germans’ two river barriers guard ing both ends of the Reich to carry the battle into the flatlands lying be yond. where the comparative level ness afforded their armored columns opportunity to wear down an enemy, whose recent strategy had called for extended use of terrain to economize dwindling forces.

FLOODS: / housands Homeless MANPOWER: Showdown Near With the senate still strongly op posed to compulsory labor, "work or fight" legislation headed for a showdown In conferences with the house, with sentiment strong for the grant of additional power to the War Manpower commission to con tinue to exert pressure toward the channeling of workers into needed industry. At the same time, congress moved to draft unmarried nurses to provide the 20,000 needed to attend the growing battle casualties. Under legislation considered, nurses would be given the right to appeal induc tion, would be offered commissions even if drafted, and would be eligi ble for benefits under the G.I. bill of rights. Vigorously opposed to the house's "work or fight” measure providing for army induction or fine and jail for failure of 18 to 45 year-old men to accept war essential employment the senate pushed a substitute bill under which the WMC would set the lim it on the number of em ployees any establishment could have, and regulate the hiring of people. anti-aircraft guns against incoming enemy raiders between unloadings of supplies. As bombs ripped Capt. Andrew W. Gavin’s cabin, “Skippy,” wounded by shrapnel, was blown into his master's room, where the officer lay unconscious amid the wreckage. Licking Captain Gavin's forehead despite his own injuries, "Skippy" revived him. Meat Magic In 1044 the average civilian ate 143 pounds of meat. This year the outlook per civilian is estimated at about 134 pounds per person. It doesn't take mu-h mental arith metic to make us see that we'll be doing with less meat this year than before—but then, you’ve prob ably already no ticed that trend at your butcher's. As a n a tio n w e ’ re g r e a t e r pork eaters than beef eaters, says a recent survey made by the govern ment, but that will have to change at least for this year. Pork loins, hams, shoulders, spareribs and ba con will continue to be scarce. The higher grades of beef are going to armed forces, while lower grades beef. though not abundant, will be more abundant. Veal supplies are scarce as are the top grades oi ,amb All of this means one thing for Mrs. America.

Operations of war industries in the rivers’ paths were seriously affected as the waters rose, and residents of the great cities of Pittsburgh, Cin cinnati, Portsmouth and Louisville anxiously viewed the broadening crests, which threatened to spill over and flood their environs. Of all the big cities, Portsmouth with its 40,000 people, was most seri ously endangered, with rising waters lapping at the 63-foot flood wall while state troopers and volunteers strug gled to reinforce it with a sandbag levee. With rain-swollen rivers flooding acres of low-lying farm land in Ten nessee, Arkansas and Mississippi thousands of residents of these areas also were forced to move to the up lands.
