near Grandmcnil and Marche,
points 20 miles away on the
other side ot the bulge.
Fart of the German spearhead
which had driven deepest into
Belgium at Colics was encircled
and being hammered into dis
integration by a ring of guns
and armor, and another pocket
along tlie underbelly of the sal
ient was receiving similar treat
ment. The probing armor that had
pushed close to Ciney, IS miles
trom Namur in the northwest
ern tip of the bulge, had been
beaten .back until the battlclinc
ran seven to eight miles south
east of the village.
Main Fighting
The main fighting in the
Celles area was now in the
vicinity of Verr'e, two and one
half miles to the southeast.
Along the southern flank the
Americans continued to gain
and were across, up to ox al
most up to the whole line of
the Sure river from ine was
tonne area to the German front
ier. Where they were not across
the stream they held the nign
ground on the south side,
Villag Seised
The village of Liefrange, 10
miles southeast ot uastocne,
was seized in one crossing north
of the village of Bonnal.
Gains on the north side of
the salient included capture of
Grandmeml and Mannay and
the partial recapture of Humain
where street lighting was in
progress.
It was too early to foresee
the outcome, for the Americans
in their counterattack now un
derway faced formidable ob
stacles.
But there were clear indica-
tlons the bold nazi bid for a
great December victory had but
ted into serious trouble.

telephone calls after a story on
the committee's suggestion ap
peared In the paper yesterday.
The callers, he said, pledged sup
port to the program and agreed
that an intensive effort for bet
ter rates would be widely bene
ficial to the business and the
general public here. -
