BASTIONS
BY DOUGHBOYS

warriors had reached the outer
rim of Luneville, IS miles south
east of Nancy and 16 miles
northeast of Charmes.
Opposite Luxembourg the
Americans ran into nothing but
rifle and machinesuns thinly
manned but these few nazis, de
fending their homeland for the
first time, fought like fanatics
and the Americans had to rip
open their bunkers and pillboxes
one by one witn fierce artillery
and bazooka fire.
Zero Hour
The attack lumped off at noon
from Luxembourg while mists
still shrouded me mils and while
the forests still were dripping
from en all-night rain. The
doughboys slogged through the
mud and tanks slid crazily along
the slippery trails.
The' first thin crust of the
enemy line was blown to pieces
by a terrific barrage the day be
fore and by point-blank lire
front tlie charging tanks.
Contact Barriers
Hodges' combat teams below
Aachen collided with belts of
dragons' teeth tank barriers
Huge concrete triangular snapea
obstacles set deep into the
eround-nd rows of forts with
six-feet thick walls with steel
doors and green shrubbery lor
camouiiage. some torts naa sev
eral inner chambers, which had
to be cleaned out, and interlock'
ins zones of fire.
Tanks blasted them open. The
defenses, built five and six years
ago, proved worthless in front
oi modern nrepower.
" Several villages near Aachen,
one of them said in a Paris
broadcast to be Lammersdorf,
fell in the advance.
Enter Bract
Some 500 miles behind the
front line inside Germany,
American troops smashed their
way inside tile long-besieged
port of Brest. U. S. medium and
dive bombers bombed the Gen
man garrison defense for SO min
utes, despite poor weather which
limited the air activity else
where, and pilots reported seeing
the Americans fighting the nazis
n the submarine pen area west
of the city.
' A security silence blacked out
most, specific news from the
front. It shrouded news of an
earlier incursion five miles deep
inside Germany northwest of
Trier, perhaps (the oldest town

FEDERAL BOAO
AID SLASHED
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14 (T)
The senate roads committee to
day rewrote the postwar high
way bill to slash proposed federal
contributions by more than a
half billion dollars and require
states to match government pay
ments on a 50-50 basis.
Seeking to win over economy
minded senators the committee
revised the bill to:
1. Reduce federal contribu
tions to the road system from
$650,000,000 to $450,000,000 an
nually for three postwar years.
2. Require the states to put up
matching funds on a dollar.for
dollar basis rather than 40 per
cent provided in tne original
bill.
The federal contributions
would be fixed at $'400,000,000
for the old federal-aid highway
system uo,uuu,uuu lor tarm-to-market
roads and $123,000,000
for urban highways.
As revised the bill contem,
plates a three-year road program,
including state payments, cost
ing $2,825,250,000 as com pur rd
with the original $3,378,1150,000
and increases state payments sub
stantially. A proposal by Senator Rus
sell (D-Ga.) to prohibit a gov
ernment contribution in excess
of $200,000,000 annually unless
widespread employment follows
me peace was rejecieo.
