Boy Admits Brutal Act

Dixon, H., Dec. 21.-CUP)-A 15- year old boy, who said he was "klll crazy" confessed to police, they said today, that he slashed his five year old nIece to death and left a butcher knife sticking into her mu- tilated body.
 Norman Burton told authorities at Princeton, H., that he killed his curly-haired niece, Sara Jane Tyne but I don't know why.
 After then staying at the girls farm home three mics north of Ohio Village, ILL, yesterday, the boy walked and hitch-hiked about 20 miles to Princeton, where his mother and father live. He spent the night in the city park, although temperatures were far below freez- ing. At 2 a. m. he went to the nome of his father, Charles, and told him of the tragedy. The father took him to the Princeton sheriff's of- flee.
 After killing the girl, Norman re- mained in the house for several hours, playing with two other nieceS and a nephew. Before he left, he wrote a note saying ne was "l1ill crazy" and never would be found alive.
 The boy was juvenile delinquent who had been taken from his par ents and placed in the custody of his uncle, Wilbur Tyne, after he had broken into a neighbours home at Princeton, destroyed furniture efilled holes in the wall, and had atrewn the house with debris.
 Under questioning about the slay- ing, he admitted readily that he did 1t, but he said he couldn't ex- plain the student impulse that came over him.

Eupen Street Filled With
 Bloody Flesh
By JOHN MsDERMOTT

United Press War Correspondent With American First Army, Eu- pen, Belgium, Dec. 20 - OP0 = Screaming German 1nfantrymen charged head-on into the American machine guns and went down like ducks in shooting gallery until the street was filtered with squirming, bloody heaps of flesh.
 The Germans paid a terrible price but they took their losses and went on to overwhelm the American gum ners defending a town near Mons chau.
 Sergeant Elmer Keener(, 26, Sange, Cal, told the story of that fanatical Nazi charge as We hud- dled in corner room of a Belgian Chateau today with German shells whistling overhead.
 Before the Americans pulled out, he said, the streets of that town were piled with layer upon layer of German dead, old men, kids, trained soldiers, all part of Adolf Hitler's conscripted "Volksgrenadiers' the peoples army.
 'The ferries came up riding on tanks, yelling their heads off, Keener said. When they were 70 yards from our machine gun, saw them jump off and start running around like wild Indians, yelling, blowing whistles and shooting guns into the air just lik cowboys at a rodeo."
 Then the massacre began. Keener said the Germans exhausted all their ammunition and then ran di- rectly into the blazing American machine guns. Body fell upon body until they formed a great pile of twisted humans, with here and there man twitching in his death agony.
 Corporal Darrel Worcester, Pitts burgh, Pa., who was with Keener during the attack, said the Nazis came rushing into our machine guns like they were all liquored up like madmen."
 Major James A. Gonzalez, New York City, said the Volksgrenadiers experimenting that part of the Ger man offensive apparently had been instructed to shoot until they were out of ammunition and then sur- render.

Knock 25-Mile Hole In First
 Army's Southern Line 10000 Americans Taken As Prisoners
BY J. EDWARD MURRAY

BY J. EDWARD MURRAY United Press War Correspondent
 Paris, December 21.-(UPl German armored spear heads have driven 30 miles inside Belgium, Supreme Allied Headquarters reported today, severing the main lateral Liege-Arlon highway in a drive which had knocked a hole of 25 miles or more in American First Army lines in south Bilgium and northern half of Luxembourg.
 The Shaef report was based on operations up to noon Tuesday, 48 hours ago. Front reports ana German dispatches indicated that Nad progress has continued since that time although the northern shoulder of the First Army flank protecting Liege, mas stiffened and Malmedy, Stavelot and Butgenbach are in American hands.
 Shaef reported that both Hanks of the 6O-mile Nazi offensive front are becoming stabl-a favorable factor but characterized the center which is pointed for the Ardennes Gap and Sedan as ''still most fluid"
 The deepest German penetration reported up to noon Tuesday was at Habiemont, IA miles west of Mal- medy and three miles west of the i'm portant Experimentation high- way which is the principal lateral communications route back of the Central First Army front.
 Supply Columns OveErun
 The German high command com munique said tht this highway was crossed on "a broad front'' and that 20 900 American prisoners had been taken. Nazi tanks were said to have overrun American supply columns falling back to the Mouse.
 Shaef reported that Field Marshal Karl Won RundStedt's attack was being directed along six main direc- tions within the 60-mile front. The capture of Habiemont, Shaef revealed, was preceded by . new night attack by German paratrcopE who were dropped southwest Of the city during the night of the l6th- 18th, presumably with the objective of setting up roadblockS and harass- ing American efforts to move up re- Inducements.
 Along the eaSt-west line just north of Habiemont the First Army was erecting fairly stable front. had recaptured Stavelot, and held the Nazis outside St. With while, accord- ing to Shaef accounts, the First was fighting hard to recapture Malmedy. fresh front reports asserted Mal-s

THIRTY MILES INSIDE BELGIUM
DRIVE WEARS MOPUP
 STAGE TODAY

BY WILLIAM B. DICKINSON United Press War Correspondent)
 Allied Headquarters, Philip pines, December 21. = (UP) Y The Leyte campaign reached the mopup stage to- day with three American di- visions pursuing isolated and steadily weakening groups of Japanese into Guerrilla infested hills in the north west corner of the island.
 The fall of Libongao, II miles north of Ormoc, and Kananga, two miles farther north, to two converging col umns at last reports only a mile apart completed the destruction of the YamaShita line and smashed the enemy'S last integrated, or organized, resistance.
 "The battle is rapidly drawing to an end" Gen. Douglas Macarthur reported in 8 communique just two months after American invasion forces first stormed ashore on the Central Philippines Island.
 GA Tokyo broadcast said today that Japanese planes damaged an Allied warship, presumably 8 cruis- CT, in an attack on a convoy west of Leyte.)
 On Mindoro, 300 miles northwest of Leyte, combat engineers com- pleted the first of 8 series of oil- surfaced airstripS to cover the next phase in MacArthur's campaign to liberate the Philippines. The mile and-ahalf long strip was finished in the record time of four days.
 No ground opposition yet has been encountered on Mindoro, Mac Arthur said, and air attacks con- tinued light. Nine enemy planes were shot down by light naval units and shore anti-aircraft batteries Tuesday.
 The 77th division, which landed at Ormoc only 12 days ago, cap tured the Leyte stronghold of Li- bongao in 8 four-mile advance from Valencia, while the first cavalry division moved south to within mile of the 77th after seizing Ka- manga.
 The enemy abandoned 1,541 dead in his retreat Tuesday, Macarthur revealed.
 His cohesion is now completely broken, he is no longer capable of an irtegrated defense and the small remnants of his forces divided into isolated groups are able to resist temporarily only at independent points," MacArthur asserted.
 Scattered elements are fleeing towards Palompon in an endeavor to reach the northwest coast of Leyte."
 The largest group still holding out was revealed to be locked in bitter battle with the 32nd division north of Kananga, but its route of retreat south already had been cut by the first cavalry division ana only jungle tracks remain to the west.
