The capture of the heights, however, put the Fifth Army 2l air line miles north of Florence and about 30 miles from Bologna, key city of the Pc valley.
 Further west Fifth Army units made considerable gains despite numerous minefields and heavy ar- tillery fire. They captured more ground on both sides of the Serchio river north of Lucca, and units of the Brazilian expeditionary force operating with the Americans con- tinued to advance in an unidentified sector.
 Additional advances also were made between the Adraitic coast and the southern frontier of San Ma rino. Greek troops reached the northern edge of the Rimini airfield where the Germans had buried tanks until only their turrets were above ground. They were neutralized by pin-point bombing by the desert air force.
 Canadian troops attacked success fully west of San Martinc in Monte L'Abate, advancing to the Ausa river, where at one point they were only three miles southwest of Rim ini, coastal city guarding the ape breaches to the southern edge of the Pc valley.
 British troops captured Monte Olivo, two miles southwest of Ger aslo, and now hold all of the Ger asolo ridge overlooking the Ausa river valley. Pushing cn in that sec tor, they entered the Republic of San Marine and met a German counter-attack near the village of Grotte, two miles north of Faetanc and inside San Marino.
 Prisoners taken reported that al German achievements for that sector passed through San Marine

 At their height, regimental head- quarters queried Clayman on the progress of his patrols supposed Co De feeling out the situation further ahead.
 While the wooded hills reverber- ated to the crack of German gun. fire, Clayman radioed "sorry. At the moment my patrols ere unable to move. The reason is we're sur- rounded. but not seriously"
 The counter attack by then was spreading and involving other bat- taiions of the division.
 Clayman's men, far out in front, allowed the Germans to come with in three or four yards before open. ing up.
 When assaults finally flzzled and German artillery was laying down what was described as one of the heaviest barrages in 2 single sector since St. Lo, Clayman reported: Positions unchanged, Awaiting fur ther orders"
 Tank Support
 The Germans threw in tanks to support the infantry but they were knocked out. German shock troops crawled on their bellies dragging machine guns. After the battle died down, investigation showed not a single machine gun had been placed in firing position. Their bearers were killed or wounded.
 The German smelling did not spare their own villages. Tn many instances Rhineland farm folk crowded into slit trenches with the doughboys. Two villages in the line of fire were destroyed.
 American artillery reacted violent ly. Major William McOonagle of ll6 Englewood avenue, Boston, said he saw his 105 howitzers score a di- rect hit on a white stone house and 100 Heinies streak from the place."
 Prisoners later said the American artillery caused wild confusion and their commander clamored simul- taneously for ambulances and for permission to abandon the position
 Prisoners said the commander in chief of the area promised the cc::- pany commander "the noon'' if he would hold firm but he replied:
 Big Talk "Never mind the big talk. The American artillery is busting hell out of us. We have lost half of our effectives. They must have a direct observation post. It's impossible to hold this line, let alone attack"
 The German counter-attack had definitely died out when visited the scene this afternoon but the Ger mans were still shelling the area, including the villages of Vicht ard Mausbach.
 From talking with civilians 1 judged they were pretty well fed up with their army, especially in Vicht where four civilians were killed ard one wounded by the German fire this afternoon.

 "This policy of delay. delay and more delay serves only the New Deal and its political ends. It puts the leaders of labor on the spot. It makes them come hat in hand to the White House. It makes political loyalty the test of a man getting his rights

 "GOvernment By Law"
 T do believe" he continued, "the American people when they go into the secrecy of the voting booth will insist on government by law and not by special favor and political extortion."
 Dewey summed up his estimation of the Roosevelt administrators labor policy as one of delays, bun. gling and incompetence" which has bred class division. hate and in. security, placed obstacles in the way of labor's efforts to avoid wartime strikes, and fostered strife among labor groups as well as between labor and business.
 "It has affronted the wage earner by reducing his basic rights to the level of political reward" he said. Ut has made the wage earner's pay envelope and his hours and condi- tions of work football of politics. ]"
 NLRB Fails

 Alcorn said that in June l943, when Dr. Bryan recommended to superior court that Wilson be re- leased, and produced hospital phy- sician to testify he no longer was mentally Ill. Two other doctors eX- amined the patient and found him mentally deficient. This testimony was corroborated by another doctor appointed by the court. Wilson was recommitted.
 Alcorn further charged that Dr. Bryan has asked him to nolle charg- es against Dzeidsic, but he refused, stating he would be unable to bring him into court again in connection with the case in which he was conn mitted.

The once busting National Youth
Administration, down to As en-
ployes and 300 tons Of old records,
died last night after eight years
as an integral part of the New Deal.
NYA was abolished by Congress
last July l, effective at the end of
New Years Day.

100000, the unused portion of $4,-
100000 Congress provided for the
job of liquidation.
1t has also given to the Treasury
its 300 tons of old records, to be
sold as waste paper.
When the cease" legislation was
enacted NYA had 64.928 persons
on its payroll Within 10 days it
had dropped 53.373 youths, leaving
the 11,555 administrative employees.
Yesterday NYA had IS on its paw
roll.
Chester Lund, who was called in
from st. Paul to succeed Aubrey
Williams as administrator Septem-
Der 10, said NYA had done a
notably fast job of liquidating itself
Congress gave it six months and
one day to get out of business. Last
October, two and half months
ahead of schedule, the agency had
turned over to the Treasury 816
units of property, valued at SIS .OOO.-
600 scattered throughout the United
States, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto
Rico.
The Treasury Department is dis
posing of this property, including
millions of dollars worth of ma
chinery and training equipment.
Some OF 1t has gone to the Army.

abroad and some of it still is to be
allocated.
Mr.. Lund said that during the
eight years of the agency's existence.

the United States within the NYA

but adjourned each time without
reaching conclusion.
At the weeks end, the belief grew
that the commission might send
the entire record to Capitol Hill
and, in effect. ask for guidance.
The Case Wakefield-Dur pro
posed report" is based on the theory
that newspaper ownership of radio
stations tends toward monopoly
on the outlets of public opinion.
Mr.. Craven. however, is reported
to contend that there is no danger
in this connection, in view of the
antitrust laws, and the commission's
own regulations which provide for
the airing of both sides of con-
troversial questions.
Regardless of the ultimate deci-
sion, it was understood that the COM
mission will not attempt to disturb
present newspaper-radio relation
ships, The remaining question is
whether restraints shall be placed on
future acquisitions.
MI. Craven is represented as feel
ing also that the radio stations op-

Another of his arguments is that

Uncertainty over the amount Of
coal the miner viii dig every week
under his 1874 wages and hours is
Completing the urgent coal mine
manpower problem. :,
The problem Is nearly as con-
fusing as 1t Is urgent. Secretary
Of the Interior Ickes says manpower
is the "crux" Of the coal shortage.
The War Manpower Commission
says 1t Is doing all 1t can to recruit
miners, but that the basic cause of
the coal shortage Is waste Of man
power through strikes.
No one could say definitely how
many new miners should be re-
cruited nationally in 1914, but the
needs in certain localities are better
known. II
WLB Approval Awaited.
Under the present bituminous
wage agreement, not yet approved
as permanent arrangement by
the War Labor Board, the Solid
Fuels Administration, headed by Mr..
Ickes, hopes for a substantial in
crease in each miners output, which
in l943 was approximately 80 tons
a week.
But the estimates of the increase
swing all the way from to per
cent. Some officials are fairly sure
it won't be higher than S per cent
and others say it may be less than 3.
One week in December output a
miner went up 10 per cent above
the 1943 average. but officials say
that isn't indicative of the coming
year.
A small increase in anthracite
output a miner is expected. too. The

however, has been heightened only
