Germans. From the prisoner
they learned the enemy had five
machine guns and 100 men in
the town with a reserve of five
tanks in a nearby woods.
Battle Joined .
The 'Terrible 20" attacked at
4:30 a. m. and the seven hour
battle began.
Doman and a small group of
men took a position in the first
house while the others surround
ed the Germans in the house
across the street. With Germans
firing from every window of the
second house, the doughboys
crept to windows under fire and
hurled in phosphorous bombs
and grenades.
Pfc. Walter Mudden of De
troit held a grenade in each
hand toward Tech. Sgt. Donald
A. Corbin of Zanesville, O., and
said:
"Pull the pins for me so I can
throw them both."
Then he crept closer and
planted both in an upstairs
window, drawing a medley of
screams from the Germans.
Machine gun fire between the
two houses cut off Doman's-
group from the fighting.

hind Corbin in the street, grab
bed him around the neck, and
demanded his surrender. Sgt.
Emil J. Piger of Allentown, Pa
rescued Corbin by jamming
burp gun in the German's side
and shooting him.
Doman and Horton went to
an exposed position on the roof
and began firing their only ba
zooka into the house across the
street.
"They screamed each time we
fired," Doman said, "and when
they streamed out downstairs,
my boys got 15 or 20 with torn
myguns and bazookas."
About that time Doman saw
70 Germans approaching for a
counterattack and he organized
his "terrible 20" in the first
house for a defense. .
He called on the artillery for
support until 105 millimeter
shells with an 80-yard blast
range were falling 50 yards
away.
He kept up the spirit of his
boys by loud chat on the radio
back to the command post.
Seven Hour Fight
It was like that for almost
seven hours as the boys laughed
and killed Germans all around
them. A German tank approach'
ed and began firing into the
house.
With their ammunition prac
tically exhausted the "Terrible
20" finally managed to with
draw, carrying their one wound
ed man.
When two other companies
took Tillet the next, day they
found 80 German feet the
bodies were so torn up from
grenades and bazooka fire they
could not be counted in the
house across the street.
Thirteen bodies were found
outside the house and about 50
bodies were found on various
arcs fronting both houses.
Vet Group Leaders
Call For Military
Training In Peace
Washington, Jan. 23 (U.R)
Commanders of two national
veterans organizations today
called for immediate enactment
of legislation which would set
up a compulsory peacetime mil
itary training program.
Commander Jean A. Brunner of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars
told the House committee on
veterans legislation that enact
ment of a military training bill
would enable the armed forces
"to maintain adequate trained
civilian reserves at all .times
and to meet any future threats
from aggressor nations." .
Commander Edward M.
Scheiberling, of the American
Legion also said he would en
dorse such a measure! A mili
tary training bill, however, he
pointed out, would come under
the jurisdiction of the military
affairs committee.

State Of Trade
Babson Says Buyers
By Roger W. Babson
Babson Park, Mass., Jan. 19
(Special correspondence) There
has been a slump in many lines
of business since January first.
Retailers naturally expect a let
up in sales after Christmas; but
their sales usually pick up again
before this.
Steal Industry
Steps Up Production
On the other hand, some basic
industries are again speeding
up. The shell steel needs have
been increased to 500,000 tons
per month; while the demand
for plates, bars, etc. for heavy
tanks is very great. Crude oil
output is continuing to show an
increase over the same period
last year; it is producing the
incredible amount of about 5,-
000,000 barrels per day! Paper
products, which are in such
great demand for packing am
munition for shipment, are be
ing increased above previous re'
quirements. Lumber products
also are ahead of a year ago.
farmers received 10 more
money for their crops in 1944
than in 1943 and 5 more for
live stock and live stock prod
ucts. Railroad gross earnings,
however, which are the best
barometer of general business,
have ceased to Increase; while
electric production has begun
to decline. '
Various reasons are given for
this slackening in general busi
ness. Some families have de
cided to buy no more cheap
war goods; others are mixed up
by the various changes .in ra
tion points; while many are
thinking only of their boys
abroad and have no heart to
buy much; while everyone is
getting tired. Certainly a cloud
of some kind has shut the sun
shine off Main street since the
bad news came from France.
However, it will be found that
IMPROVE YOUR

this cloud has a silver lining,
Farmers Looking Ahead
For Slump
Recently several Important
addresses have been made to
farm organizations. Farmers
are being told by their friends
that they must expect a severe
slump in agricultural prices
after the war. This fact is now
"sinking In" and many farmers
are rather solemn. Railroad la
bor, which has been riding high
and handsome, is likewise real
izing that railroad traffic will
fall off terribly after the war.
Most of the railroad employees,
taken on during the past two
years, will be then out of work.
Most postwar "new inven
tions" will be labor-saving in ef
fect. They will result in fewer
people being employed. Since
the November election, even the
government has had the cour
age to tell women workers that
they will be laid off FIRST.
Bankers and Investors who have
been counting on a big foreign
postwar demand are realizing
that this is possible only by
loaning money to European
governments.
Congressmen Becoming -More
Conservative
When congressmen were
home for Christmas, they ex
plained that most of our Allies
are, more or less, communistic.
These congressmen asked their
constituents if the U. S. should
loan these Allies money to start
socialistic and nationally-owned
Industries? What has happened,
in Belgium, Greece and else
where is making many ask for
what we are fighting.
People are beginning to won

ill and Roosevelt demanding
"unconditional s u r r e n der" Is
either Christian or wise? We
are coming to realize that world

peace will exist only as every
nation surrenders uncondition

British Empire or Mr. Stalin or
even to us Americans.
Postwar National
Income Overestimated
Talk about a postwar national
income of $160 billions con
tinues. Such talk is crazy. With
the inevitable postwar depres
sion in agriculture, railroads,
shipping, aviation, and all kinds
of war work, there will be much
unemployment This can tem
porarily be relieved by more
government borrowing and in
flation, but would mean con
tinued high taxes. SOME DAY
TAXPAYERS WILL REBEL.
The only permanent cure tor un
employment is for most cities to
throw out their present school
boards and train children to
work and think instead of play
ana complain.
Business in 1945 will not be
up to 1044 probably oft a lit
tle more than 10. The stock
maricet may suffer a "commun
istic scare" sometime during
1945, but many selected stocks
should ultimately sell at higher
figures than now prevailing.
Commodity prices will strength
en until Germany collapses,
There will be many labor
strikes as the "take home" pay
declines; but hourly rates will
hold up. Building prospects are
especially bright. I am bullish
on surburban real estate and

to be thankful, but from now on
we should think soberly. If our
