PRACTICE RAIDS.
TO BE ELIMINATED

when practice alerts are approved
by the military authorities.
The War Department., moreover,
has issued instructions that its
sumo air raid drills Sin the event
field agencies be prepared to re-
the. strategical situation changes
in such manner as to warrant in
creased passive defense meas
ures."
This action is not an indication
that the war is over as far as the
continental United States is con-
cerned," the War Department
statement said. Rather, an even
greater burden il placed on the
civilian population to be alert,
to utilize manpower efficiently and
tc assure our fighting forces of
being adequately supplied
RALEIGH, Jan. 12.-RHThe
practice afraid drill and black
out will be held in 10 inland warn
ing districts of North Carolina to-
morrow from 9:16 pm. to 9:57 p.
m. as previously scheduled, r.
Walker Martin, state director of
civilian protection for the Office
of Civilian Defense (OCD), said
today.
Martin said that the new war
department directive on air raid
drills and blackouts, issued today
in Washington, will not affect to-
morrow nights exercises,
The ruling specifies that hence
forth air raid drills and blackouts
be held only in states bordering
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans,
and then only every 80 days
with each drill and blackout to
be held on Sunday night.
Principal effect of the directive,
Martin said, will be to lengthen
the period between drills in North
Cardinals coastal area. Under a
previous directive, the coastal
area had blackouts scheduled for
once every six weeks; now they
will be. held every 80 days, as in
the inland area.
Warming districts affected by to-
morrow nights drill and blackout
are Tarboro, Ahoskie, Weldon
Henderson,, Goldsboro, Raleigh
Greensboro, S h e y, Statesville
| and .Gastonia. Blackouts have been
held recently in connection with
Army maneuvers by the Charlotte
| and Lumberton districts, and q
drill will be called in the Ashe'
vile area later, Martin said.

1 subsequently, were thrown out oi the town again.
 American forces southwest of Ca. renthan at the central hinge of the front joined in tl,e offensive al dawn yesterday and by noon had driven another halt-mile down the Carentan-Periers highway to point just north of Raffouville, capturing the villages of La Moisentrie, Le Varimesnil, Les Mesnil, Les Bakeries, La Sadotterei and La Champagne.
 The terrain necessarily channelized the American aGvanceS both above La Have and southwest of Carentan to ridges or high ground, since these offer faster avenues of approach than the marshy swampy areas, many of them further flooded by the Germans.
 Heavy and accurate artillery fire supported the ground forces and the three heights captured by the Americans above La Have gave them excellent emplacements from which to cover an assault on the town itself.
 Both the American and German batteries were using anti-personnel shells which burst in the air and spread shrapnel over a wide area, killing and maiming even those in I foxholes. American guns were out firing the Germans, however, five or six shots to one.
 543 Prisoners Taken
 Front dispatches said that 54S prisoners had been taken by the Americans up to noon yesterday.
 British and Canadian forces bent in the western wall of the German defenses around Caen, main obsta- cle holding up an Allied advance toward Paris. Fontaine, three miles southwest of the outskirts of Caen, was firmly in British hands, it was announced, while Canadian forces sought to complete the conquest of the aen-Carpiquet airfleld, some two and half miles west of the outskirts.
 The Germans were dug in with tanks and artillery along a ridge be- hind the airfield and were resisting fiercely. The Canadians used flame- throwers against particularly stub- born enemy positions.
 British forces captured Verson, on the Cherbourg- -Caen-Paris highway a little more than Q mile southwest of Carpiquet yesterday. Carpiquet itself was taken by the Canadians in the first two hours of their attack yesterday.
 Lieutenant General Miles Chris topher Dempsey's British forces also further extended their wedge across the Odon river in the Evrecy sec tor southwest of Caen. The Ger mans made two minor counter-at- tacks against the salient before dawn Tuesday. but both were driven of by artillery.
 Weather continued poor, hamper ing air support for the forces. How ever, targets south of CT sn and at Lessay, south of La Have, were at- tackled yesterday.
 British light coastal forces Tues- day intercepted south -bound cons voy of Ave vessels northeast of St. Maio. sinking two with torpedoes and damaging the remainder with gunflre.

This war cannot be measured on the events of the dayl," he said to- day. "In such Q gigantic struggle, wher eternal history is made, tenn porary success or failure does not play any decisive part.
 Tn this, the greatest struggle for the fate of the German nations, everybody has his task, to fight and work relentlessly for victory.
 We shall survive these times and in the end, win this war"
 Hitler praised the heroism of the German soldier and asked:
 Tn view of such heroism, should leadership such as 0ermany'S which has the fortune to be able to say that for four years 1t has achieved nothing but success, fail in the test? Nol"
 He acknowledged that Allied technicians had equalled and in some cases excelled the Germans in technical inventions, but asserted that "the German genius of inven. tion is about to restore the technical balance in order to create the pre- requisite for finally changing the course of this war"
 Transocean said German Arma- ments Minister Albert Speer con- ferred with production leaders and announced further increase in pro- duction despite Allied air attacks.
 Speer was quoted by the German DNB agency as saying:
 At this most decisive moment in the war, the German armament industry will do its utmost to give the German soldier those superior weapons necessary for victory in increasing quantities.

Southwest of Polotsk, the 1st Bal tic army joined with the northern arm of Gen. Ivan D. Cherniakhov- sky's 3rd White Russian army in a i, march on Wilno, which the Soviets incorporated in Lithuania following the partition of Poland in 1889.
 Bagramian's southwestern column advanced 27 miles in 24 hours over virtually roadless terrain to capture Myagel, 63 miles northeast of Wilno. The advance carried nearly third of the way to Wilno and put the Soviets within 10 miles of first class road to the stronghold.
 Stormovik assault planes support ed the 1st army with bombing and strafing raids on enemy strong points and trop columns. Hits were reported on 200 motor vehicles, 60 railway cars and seven supply dumps. Thirteen enemy fighters were shot down,
 The 3rd army pushed across marshes and though woods to with in 55 miles east of Wilno with the capture of Naroch. En route, an enemy cavalry detachment was wiped out, with 1 200 Germans killed and the surviving 400 captured.
 Striking out in advance of the ground force, Red air force bombers raided Wilno Monday night, smash ing three German troop trains and starting at least IS fires.
 Cherniakhovsky's 3rd army also drove 17 miles southwest of Minsk and captured Volkovichi, while Mar shal Konstantin K. Rokossovskys 1st White Russian army opened frontal attack on Baranowicze, site of the strategic gap through the Pripet marshes on the Moscow -Minsk Warsaw railway and highway, and captured Kletsk, 25 miles to the east in an 11-mile advance.
 The Germans threw fresh tank division and reserve infantry units into an attempt to halt the SovietS, but fell back after losing nearly B. 600 killed and l,200 captured.
 Rokossovsky already holds posi- tions 25 miles northeast of Barano- wicze, which lies 75 miles southwest of Minsk and 220 east of Warsaw.
 Isolated groups of Germans hiding in the woods north of Minsk-Bo- bruisk road were wiped out and more than 2,000 German bodies were counted on the banks of the Berezi- na River alone.
