against the Siegfried line be
tween the captured cities of
Sarregueminos and Haguenau,
and that a violent tank battle
was raging.
Deep Penetration
Fighting to open a path to the
Ruhr and Rhineland, the first
army registered gains of up to
three miles in two days and now
was 17 miles inside Germany,
the deepest allied penetration.
There was no change on the
U. S. ninth, British or Canadian
fronts.
Sweep Southward
Russian troops on the left flank
of the attack above Budapest
swept south on the east bank of
the Danube, battering into the
last defensive tank rings above
the northern suburbs ot tne
Hungarian camtal.
Marshal Rodion Y. Malinov-
sky's right wing speared west
in gains of up to seven miles,
extending the Russian front
along the central Slovak border
to 30 miles, driving within B3
miles of Bratislava and 116 of
Vienna.
Strong Resistance
The Russian assault southward
hacked toward Budapest against
a resistance strengthened by
every known type of anti-tank
weapon, winning total gains of
three miles and taking two
towns, each 8i miles northeast
of the capital. Other Russians
edged on Budapest from the east,
south and southwest.
German planes returned to the
Italian battle arena. About six
or eight swooped down on the
fifth army front, bombing and
strafing troops and communica
tions. German artillery also
was active. In eastern Italy rain
swelled the Lamone river, slow
ing eighth army operations
north of Ravenna and above
Faenza.

LuIX .... .;
In regard to the recent freeze
order on Klamath potatoes for
military priority, L. C. Carter,
chief clerk of the Southern Pa

that before the railroads can ac
cept any car for shipment the

The permit number will have
to be shown by the shipper on
the railroad bill of lading, con
tinued Carter. The cars will be

snoriage oi water youd dig a
deeper well!" He said some 30
calls per day were received at
the OPA from citizens who
claimed they could not get wood
fuel.
Police Judge Harold Franev.
who sat in on Monday after
noon's meeting, said that Dan
Rohrer, assistant fuel rationing
representative, had made a com
plete investigation of fuel prob
lems in this section.
Equipped to Deliver
Both Cal Pevton and Fred
Heilbronner, dealers, were in the
audience, and both told the
council that they were equipped
10 acuver wooa upon its arrival.
Peyton said this was the first
time that local dealers were not
able to supply the demand but
mat a ju per cent increase in
population and many newcomers
who had not laid up wood dur
ing late summer and early fall
were making unprecedented de
mands upon woodyards.
Peyton appealed to Klamath
citizens to aid dealers who were
"not able to do it all." He said
there was also an erroneous idea
that a priority was needed to
get wood.

the council they thought it time

4000 Units Short
We are 4000 unit shnrt In

Hood said. "Our source is nret-

rates, is orohlb t ve."
The city suggested that a sur
vey be made of the situation
and where buildings could use
furnaces already installed that
they be urged to do so to relieve
the heating plant's load.
Rohrer, assistant fuel ration
ing representative, and Strode,
today suggested that a citizens'
committee go into the fuel prob
lem here, and the matter .will
probably bo brought up at the
meeting of the chnmber of com

The absence of extensive

to reporters that other members
of the senate had not been given
an opportunity to make inquiries
at the public hearing.
