this action follows, many

Americans Take Three
Miles of Siegfried
Line Inside Germany
By JAMES M. LONG
PARIS, Jan. 30 (AP) The 78th division captured three miles of the Siegfried tine
today in a surprise attack through waist deep snowdrifts in the Moschau forest, three'
miles inside Germany.
Tho first army outfit struck just north of the eliminated Belgian bulge while other
troops of Lt. Gen. Courtney H. Hodges' command and the third army moved up to the
west wall defenses along 40 miles of the Ardennes front. '
The third army expanded its Our river bridgehead nearly a mile into Germany on a
two-mile front.
Advances ranged up to four miles. The ninth and another unidentified division par
ticipated. ' ""
The 78th division's achievement was scored in a nine hour bottle against the lightest
opposition seen along the rugged forest front since November. Scratch nozi troops, such
as have been left to hold many parts of the western front, crumbled, and gave up on the
long-quiet sector, ' : . . . ', '
The division jumped off from Simmerrath, drove west to Kesternich, three miles in
side Germany, and then turned south for three miles to eliminate a long held German sal'
ient of several square miles. They overran two and a half miles of concrete pillboxes and
draeon teeth tank barriers?

Low Hears Story
Sheriff Lloyd Low, who said
he had heard this story but
didn't know whether it was a
good clue or not. had his eves on
Culifornla, in his -search.'-. fori the

cuecK rumors wnicn naci origi
nated in tuut area concerning the
Heuvel case. .
' Some ODlnlon Dcrslsted that
Houvcl was still' in town at the
home of friends. So far as po
lice officers know. Heuvel has
not been advised that a warrant
had been' issued for his arrest
folio ving the indictment by the
grand Jury at 6 p. m. Friday. The
officers said they presumed Heu
vel knew about it, but they hod
found no one who had told him.
His attorney, J. C. O'Neill, said
he had not seen Heuvel -to ad
vise him of tho indictment.
, Not at Home
Heuvel was not found at his
home Saturday when sheriff's
officers went there to serve him
with the warrant. They said the
place looked as if he had just
stepped out.
lt is understood that residents
of the adjacent apartment heard
some one in Heuvel's room early
Saturday morning.
To stay out of jail, Heuvel
would have to post a $3500
bond upon arrest. He furnished
S1000 cash bond when arrested
December 18, prior to the grand
jury indictment.
Mortgage House
County records show that on
December 27, 1944, Earl and
Virginia Heuvel mortgaged their
property at 425 Klamath avenue
for $2000 to First Federal Sav
ings and Loan association, re
payable in monthly installments
of $25.
No date for arraignment of
Heuvel in circuit court has been
set, but Judge David R. Vanden
bcrg indicated today he will set
the date as soon as he can con
fer with the district attorney.
The $1000 bond Heuvel gave in
justice court will not bo for
feited until the arraignment, If
Heuvel Is not in court at that
time. ' "

Germans Face
'Horrid Fate'
Reports Hitler
LONDON, Jan. 30 (AP)
Adolf Hitler told the German
people in a broadcast tonight
that "a horrid fate is in pro
gress in the east today."
The fuehrer promised, how
ever, that this fate- "will be
mastered in the end in spite
of all reverses Bnd stern tests."
The invaded and sorely beset
German nation was given less
than two hours notice that Hit
ler would mark the 12th anni
versary of . his assumption of
power with the address.
The fuehrer began with a
short review of the happenings
since January 30, 1933. and
said, "We were given only six
years of peace - after January
30, 1933, but in those six years
tremendous deeds were achiev
ed and some tremendous deeds
are planned."
Site for, Housing Project
In City Remains Uncertain
Location of the new civilian
housing project for Klamath
Falls remained uncertain today,
although it was indicated it will
be constructed on a site adjoin
ing Alameda street (the old
Evans road) near the main canal
at the southeastern corner of the
city.
City councilmon have voted In
favor of this site, but Architect
Howard R. Perrin today was
studying the grades to determine
if it will be possible to fit the
housing into the terrain there.
He said today that rock in a
small hill there may prove an
obstacle, but that he hopes to
work lt out.
Mayor Ed Ostendorf an
nounced that the council, at a
special meeting, had favored the
Alameda site over a proposed lo
cation In tho Washburn way
area whore other war housing
has been built. Ho mid that a
question had been raised about
zoning In tho Alameda street
site, which is on tho route of the
proposed through north-south
highway along the canal, but
that the city had agreed to
waive tho zoning if the govern
ment agrees to remove the hous
ing after the war. The zoning
would have forced the architect
to locate the housing far buck
from the street.
The mayor said that sewer fa
cilities in the Washburn way
oreo aro already taxed by hous
ing now constructed or going up
there, and that additional hous
ing for military personnel, if
authorized, will probably : rise
ill that neighborhood. ,

CHICAGO, Jan. 30 (P) A
woman clerk in the board of

retary .of Interior Harold L.
Ickes wrote in the disputed rent
al figures on Ickes' affidavit
filed for tax reduction on a
Loop building, says Gordo
Nash, assistant Cook county

In an investigation by tne
state's attorney's office of a
charge by John S. Clark, Cook
county (Chicago) assessor, that
Ickes obtained an $8550 tax re
duction for 1943 and 1944, Nash
yesterday questioned two em

by Mrs. Mabel KeinecKe, tormcr

when the document lacked suf

"The property referred to was

she declared;
PARIS, Jan. 30 (VP) On tho
eve of the widely-heralded Big
Three conference, the allies
have begun showering German
lines : with leaflets explaining
the "unconditional surrender"
goal announced at Casablanca,
it was disclosed today. -
Unconditional surrender, the
phamphlets declare, "would not
mean that Germans who surren
der would be at the mercy of
tho victorious side." On tho con
trary, they would "be under the
protection of tho Geneva con
vention and would be treated
with fairness. , . "
The pamphlets, one of the
first direct attempts by allied
propagandists in recent months
to drive a wedge between the
German people and their rulers,
also say:
"It is the wish of the allies
to give the German people the
possibility for normal peaceful
development as members of the
European family of nations."
.-. i - ti .--.-..'
The announcement said "indi
vidual Germans who had noth
ing to do with the crimes com
muted by war criminals will
not be taken to account for
those crimes."

scattering the leaflets . in Ger
many was announced shortly
after the disclosure that Harry
L. Hopkins had visited London
and Paris and gone on to Rome
on a fact-finding mission for
President Roosevelt preparatory
to tho Big Three conference.
Use' of the leaflets bolstered
a belief in some quarters that
the president, Prime Minister
cnurchill and premier Marshal
Stalin might produce a joint im
mediate surrender call to Ger
many at their meeting.
There was no indication in
