WEAK REARGUARD

Mcmillan said the German
front had lost all cohesion and
that chief resistance came from
isolated bands of suicide troops
who fought to the death in pockets
far behind the Allied spearheads.
On the Paris front. only weak
rearguards appeared TO be oppos-
ing the American march and Ger
man radio reports limited that the
enemy might abandon the city
without a struggle.
Allied headquarters refused to
locate the most advanced spear
heads, but German accounts told
of savage tank fighting last night

miles southwest of the city gates

sized, however, that the complete

Comedian Jack Benny. unlike his
voluble screen and radio self, had
nothing to say today about the
threat of James Petrillo's Ameri-
can Federation of Musicians to
keep his regular Sunday program
off the NBC network.
Instead. Benny seemed inclined
to wait and see just which way
the wind was blowing.
SHOW TO GO ON
But local NBC officials said the
show would go on" despite the
AIM announcement that IL would
put the wraps on il because of a
dispute over non-union engineers
employed by the studio.
The network spokesman said
they based their announcement on
information from the New York
office that new action had been
taken.
Local AIM President Spike
Wallace said he didn't know any
thing about that, but he guessed
somebody had gotten together
with somebody in the East.

been set by his union.

"Of course, I know that you are ac-
