Essential Activity
List Reviewed by
Government
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 VP)
To find a way of grinding thz
Job - control -and manpower
screws tighter, tho government
is reviewing tho entire list of
essential activities.
And this may be tho remit,
it appeared today, although no
decision has been reached yet:
1. Some activities, now classi
fied as essential, will bo dropped
from the list.
2. Most activities, now classi
fied as essential, will remain that
way.
3. Some activities such as
those munitions industries which
badly need manpower will be
listed not only as essential but
critical.
To Essential Work
The whole purpose of this
would be to force draft-age men
Into essential- work but partic
ularly into the critical industries.
It would be another step in
nailing down tho government's
intensified, effort to stop Job
shifting and. labor turnover.
Latest Step
Tho latest step In that direc
tion came from selective service
which told draft boards:
1. To draft men up to 38 if
thoy change, Jobs without board
permission. ' Lower than usual
physical standards will be set
for such "Job-skippers." How
much lower was. not divulged.
2. To tighten up oh the de
ferments already granted.

memorandum to the boards:

"If such an attempt is made,"
Admiral Ingram told a press
conference, "it would probably
bo limited to 10 or 12 bombs.

By JAMES M. LONG
PARIS, Jan. 8 (fF) Mile or more advances by the American
first and third armies in the worst blizzard of the winter nar
rowed the waist of the Belgian salient to less than 10 miles
tonight and caused Field Marshal Von Rundstedt to speed the
withdrawal of his survivors from the western tip of the salient.
Lt. Gen. Courtney H. Hodges' first army captured five vil
lages and won domination of 15 miles of the St. Vith-Laroche
highway, one of the two last escape routes for three crack panzer
divisions in the toe of the sock of the bulge. The other, road,
leading up through Houffaliz was under artillery fire from both
sides of the salient.
The German diversionary threat to Strasbourg was described
officially as apparently lessened as the allies hurled in counter
attacks against German armor which speared north upon the
Rhine city from the Colmar pocket. The allies wrested back
some of the ground lost eight miles north of the city on the west
bank of the Rhine.
In the Ardennes salient in Belgium and Luxembourg, a two
way American attack from north and south not only cut one of
the last two German supply and retreat routes in the bulge,, but
brought the other under close range artillery fire in the area
west of Bastogne on the south.
Capture Flamierge
The third army on the south captured Flamierge, only two
miles from the last German road leading from Libramont through
Houffalize to St. Vith.
American and British assault teams on the 30-mile attack
front on the northern side of the bulge kept up their slow,
measured gains and the British sixth- airborne division, veterans
of Normandy, kept three crack German armored divisions tied
up in heavy battle at the toe of the sock. '
Supreme headquarters was silent- concerning the German
bridgehead thrust across the Maas (Meuse) river in Holland
north of Venlo.
The most important gain on the first army front was made
by the 82nd airborne division, led by 37-year-old Maj. Gen.
James N. Gavin. The sky troops seized the Thierdumont ridge
nr'"Iwest of Salmchateau, which commands much of the St
Vith-Laroche road.
Yanks Dominate
The highway was under American domination from Vielsalm,
north of Salmchateau to a point beyond Dochamps. The hell on
wheels 2nd armored division occupied Dochamps itself. - The
highway was cut in numerous places and under artillery, range
for the rest of the 15-mile gap. ... -. , .

JAPS LID FRESH
CHUNGKING. Jan. 8 (P
Japanese forces have landed
fresh troops on the coast of
northeastern Fukien province in
an obvious preparation to coun
ter any American attempt to
establish bridgeheads on the
Asiatic mainland, the Chinese
high command announced to
night. The Japanese landed Decem
ber 26 and advanced inland, oc
cupying the town of Siapu
about 70 miles northeast of
Japanese-held Foochow. A Chi
nese counterattack re-won Siapu
January 3, and the enemy re
treated to the east, the high
command said.
(Last Tuesday and Wednes
day planes of the U. S. third
fleet swept 700 miles over the
China coast for the first time
from north of Foochow to Hong
kong. Dispatches indicated the
planes were on a reconnaissance
mission at the time).
The landing was considered
as one in a series of enemy
measures to gird against Ameri
can landings on the China coast.
Although the Japanese have lib
crated China with a corridor to
Indo-China, much of the terri
tory east of their line between
Hankow and Indo-China re
mains in Chinese hands. The
Chinese held' most of the stretch
from Hangchow bay southward.
The Japanese apparently want
to be In position to rush troops
to any point where American
forces might secure lodgment.

Tokyo Says 450 Ships
Stream Toward

By The Associated Preit
Tokyo radio reported today
more than 450 American trans-,
ports "are streaming north to-,
wards Luzon" island in the'
Philippines where Japanese
broadcasts said more than 70"
warships and swarms of carrier
planes bombarded Lingayeit
gulf, 120 miles north of Manila,
continuously for two days.
The Tokyo broadcast, record
ed by the federal communica
tions commission, said that
whether the transports would be
"poured into Lingayen or in the
vicinity of Manila remains a
question, but in either case it
is a surety that the enemy will
play right into the waiting Jap
anese hands."
"Hot Beception" .
In the two-day duel between
warships and shore batteries at
Lingayen gulf, Japanese broad
casts said defending batteries
gave the American flotilla "the
hottest reception ever recorded
in the annals of war."
Propaganda broadcasts de
scribed the air and naval bom
bardment as "the enemy's usuaf
tactics preceding a landing" and
forecast. Yank assault troops
might storm "the shore at an

Compensation for National
Park Losses Eyed by Senate
By JACKSON S. ELLIOTT
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (if)
Should states be paid back if
the government comes in and
takes over lands for national
parks or monuments, wiping
out chunks of tax Income?
President Roosevelt thinks so,
as does Secretary of the In
terior Ickes. And, in line with
their recommendations, Rep.
Peterson (D-Fla.) will introduce
within tho next few days a bill
to pay back up to 25 per cent
of the revenue from parks, an
nually, where the state or other
taxing unit, loses on the deal.
The measure will not be retro
active. FDR Sympathetic
In his message vetoing a bill
which would have killed the
Jackson Hole national m o n u
ment, Mr. Roosevelt said he
would be sympathetic to such
tax-loss legislation,
And, in a message to con
gress last year, which was giv
en little public attention at that
time, President Roosevelt pro
posed that compensation be paid
the non-federal taxing units,
such as states, counties, munici
palities, etc.
The problem of compensating
such taxing units however, is
complex, chiefly because in
many instances, a county, for
instance, while losing tax rev
enue, might benefit from the
federal acquisition.
Possible Benefits
Such benefits might accrue,
out of tourist trade to the area
of a national park, out of a
freedom of responsibility on
the part of the county from car
ing for roads and schools, and
out of many other developments
Incident to the acquisition.
In addition there have been,
such instances as a county suf
fering because of a loss of tax.
lands while a town In an ad
joining county but in the same
state reaped great benefits be
cause of the population boom.
Since tho legislation now be
ing charted would apply only
to new parks It probably will
include Jackson Hole, however
there are no figures now
available , by. which Income
could be estimated, and possi
ble maximum compensation ar
rived at.. .
