THOMAS THINKS
PARTY IS DEAD

NEW YORK Nov. 30 tR -
Norman Thomas Socialist leader
and five times unsuccessful presi-
dental candidate today sa i d
frankly the Socialist party was
dead as national political entity.
cts strength he said in an in.
terview '1ies in a coalition with
progressive elements" and he
added:
"Arlerica is on the road to Fas.
cism or a variant OF Fascism. The
only thing that can stop it that
can preserve democracy is a spon
taneous emergence of a coalition
of progressive groups-from labor
the farm and from regional min
ority parties"
The 60-year-old one-time Pres
bvterian m nis ter continued:
when the two major parties diff
fer so little in platform merely
in personalities pressure politics
creep in making a fertile field fol
Fascists.
IT believe the United States will
have chronic unemployment aftel
the first few postwar years.
Thomas said. This may provid,
tie spark for a new political align
ment and possibly the rise OF {
new party somewhat similar t,
Canada's Cooperative Common
wealth Federation.
If a coalition party springs VI
Thomas does moi expect to be it
presidential nominee. His age, h
said precludes this.

LIMON FALLS TO
 MACARTHUR FORCES

GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEAD - QUARTERS-Rain-pounded Ameri- can infantrymen captured the Jap anese bastion of Limon and have driven 1000 yards south in a sud den upsurge of the battle which practically destroyed the enemy's first division.
 Headquarters reported today the second division plunged through the shell-shattered town on Wed nesday in the biggest advance in more than two weeks, and the entire Yamishiea line which the Japanese defend on Leyte is in danger of being rolled. up. Heavy raids continued on the last battle zone, as the Tanks drove through to nearby Leyte river.
 Gen MacArthur had identified Limon as apparently the lapse lected site for their major defensive battle to protect the vital Ormoc corridor, and the capture of the town, said today's communique, means the Nipponese have lost the critical defensive line"

 My record in entertaining serv- ice men and women speaks for it. self I am, however, concerned but not worried. There's never been any criticism of my shows by mili- tary authorities, religious groups or service men themselves"

$11,165 In War Bonds
 Sold Here

Wrangell has got off to a good start on the Sixth War Loan drive, with sales up to and including Wednesday, November %, of $11,- l65 out of a total quota of $I9,0OO. or the sales so far, $3,485 are in series E bonds, $1480 in series F and the balance of $6,200 in series G. The quota for series E, or those for the small investor, is $I2,OO0; therefore, in the first three days of the drive, more than a third of the quota was reached. This is good beginning, but there is still approximately $850O to go in series E bonds, and Wrangell does not want to be tagging behind the rest of Alaska
 H. B. ThOrnquist, chairman of Hhe drive i'll Wrangell, today made the following statement.
 Although the defeat of Germany is now drawing near, We must not .ose sight of the fact that we still nave a formidable enemy in Japan. To defeat that enemy our govern ment will have to continue to spend large sums of money as we will be fighting 5000 or more miles from our homeland, and transportation costs alone will be staggering. Much of this money will have to be borrowed from the public, so We must continue to buy and to hold war bonds. It would be a na- tional calamity if we should fail in this war financing effort when victory was within our grasp.
 So I urge every citizen to hold on to his war bonds and his other savings and not indulge in an orgy of reckless expenditure in the mis- taken belief that the war Is about over and his security is assured. AS nation, and as individuals. we must remain financially strong to cope with the problems that lie ahead"

Front Flares Into
 New Action

LONDON-French armor cleaned out the whole western part of Stras- bourg of Germans, who asserted that surprise attempt to capture che bridge there across the Rhine was frustrated. On the hottest cor Her of the western front, however, a violent German cOunterattack of six or seven divisions, half of them armored threw the British second army out of Hoven on the muddy Cologne plain.
 Three miles northeast of captured GeilenL.lehen flame throwers were used on the men, but It. Gen. Dempsey stood firm on the high ground overlooking the Wurm val ley noIah of the levelled hamlet.
 Still farther north the British absorbed all German counterattacks and inched forward yard by bloody yard. Thanking the British to the south, the American ninth and first army otfensiyes in the valley of the turbulent Roer river were slowed to a sticky crawl or even checked entirely while the Germans threw wave upon wave of counterattacks at the Allied lines.
 Fighting centered on the ap- breaches to Julich, highway town on the Roer, 25 miles from ruined Cologne.
 The American third army beyond Metz captured Oberluken, and deep ened it's northern wedge into Ger many. Gains of two to four miles were made yesterday as Gen. Pat tons front edged slowly toward the Saar industrial rail center of Saar- brucken, 15 miles from the forward lines
 British troops in Holland moved to within enemy field gun range with the Maas river town of VenlC a mile and a half away.

NO TRACE FOUND YET
 OF MISSING WOMAN

Efforts to find Nora White, 72- year-old Negro woman who has been missing for about two weeks have proved fruitless. although friends and neighbors are still try ing to find her. On November 12, neighbors notified the authorities when no smoke from her chimney indicated her absence from her home where she lived alone a mile outside the Wrangen city limits.
 On November 13, U. s. Commis- sioner Richard Suratt ordered out a search party in charge of James Loyett. This was composed of three men from the Coast Guard service, Wayne Vehinen, Robert Wallis and Rupert Shaw; and five civilians, James Loyett, James Nolan. Den his Miller, George Hicks and Al Sahlinger This group combed the district thoroughly but could find no clues. The heavy rain at that time may have obliterated all foot prints which might have proved helpful.
 Nora White was believed to be suffering from delusions of perse- cution, adding to the difficulty of speculating where she might have gone.

LOCAL MEAT DEALERS
 COMPLY WITH 0PA RULE

In response to a wire from the Office of Price Administration to Mrs. Frank Barnes regarding the retail ceiling prices recently estaD- lished on beef, an l the consequent shutting off of all meat sales by Juneau and some other meat deal CTS, the local representative today received promises of compliance with the regulations from Wran- gells retail dealers, the City Mar ket and Grants Grocery.
 The statement from Juneau says that a wire was received from the OPA representative in Seattle which confirms the fact that the price on beef wholesale to Alaska is up only three-quarters of cent to one and three-quarters of a cent a pound since November 1941, and beef prices to consumers should have been only one or two cents pc r pound higher than pre-Pearl liar Dor prices.
 The message continues, Many prices were advanced far more than this amount. Ceiling prices now set are designed to make a lib eral allowance for this and ether acquisition and selling expenses. Sales volume of butchers has never been higher.
 Tt was felt these facts would be helpful in strengthening public support or getting trade compli- ance."

 The supreme commander on the Western Front said. q want more supplies than we are getting. and I think the soldier wants more than he is getting. both now and in dhe future.
 "To gel peace. we've got to fight like hell for it. Now, lets do it." he added
 Eisenhower appeared as fit as ever after a tour of all parts of the. fighting zone. He said he was es- peeially happy over the French breakthrough to the Rhine
 No single instance has pleased me so much in a long while as the capture of Belfort by the gallant French Army and it's reaching the Rhine" Eisenhower said.
 The general declined to predict when the war would end, and said that the weather prevented full eff fort in the air during the current offensive. but added: "One thing continues to grow-my intense sat- isfaction at the teamwork between the ground forces. navies and air forces"
 He said that while he saw no sign yet Of a German erackup, the Germans are human beings like other people. and if confronted by failure after failure of their armed forces they will inevitably crack
