road several hundred feet away. Di- rectly below us 1 Ia miles southeast of Tintange, lay the blackened hulk of Warnach Village, which was no longer in the active battle zone but was still smoking from fires started there yesterday.
 From T1ntange itself came the constant rumble of American shells bursting against the houses and the quicker beat of American machine guns as the doughboys forced their way into the town, street by street.
 Capt. Leslie s. Hill, 2S, Oakland, Calif., said he didn't believe the Germans would put up a fight to the finish for Tintange. We started pushing them around at 8 a. m. today, and we hope to finish the job before tonight" Hill said.
 This is topsy-turvy kind of war fare. At noon today, two Thunder bolt fighter -bombers with American markings swept over the Dough- boys. Some of the soldiers looked up to wave just as the planes, ap- parently piloted by Germans, drop ped two 500-pound bombs that ex- loded harmlessly in a field.
 Tt really makes you dizzy" said Capt. David A. Levitt, 24, Miami Beach, Fla. Half the Germans we catch are wearing American Army shoes or gloves or some other part of the uniform"
 As if to support his statement, a short distance down the road 8 dead German lay na gully, with the soles of his CT shoes almost touching the road.
 The morale of this column is high and strangely reminiscent of the days when the Germans were being chased across France.
 Despite the bitter cold, the Doughboys appeared light hearted and enthusiastic, and large group gathered inside a cowshed to re- ceive Holy Communion from Catholic chaplain, Capt. Daniel Ca- donic, Pittsburgh, Pa, who also ig- nored the sounds of battle to de- liver sermon in a quiet, calm voice.
 Just as we turned to leave, Sgt. Russell E. Turcotte, 25, Worcester, Mass, called out to ask if we want ed some of his Christmas turkey" "a box of K-rations.
 Would you believe it, fellows? Hell, thi stirne last year was ome with my wife"
 But the progress of the relieving forces is not going unopposed, and scores of small-scale battles are be- ing fought throughout this area.
 Early today, two wounded Dough- boys came back from the forward fighting sector, one linping badly and the other holding his shattered arm.
 Heads bent against an icy wind, they struggled back across an open, snowy field while ugly air bursts from the German 88S made black blotches over their heads. Both of them lay down wearily on stretch CTS to be taken to the rear. That was their Merry Christmas"

ill would make the opening state ment. The statement was expected to be released after the session has concluded.
 It would not be surprising if the conference should take up the poS- sibility of a temporary truce for the duration of negotiations.
 Spasmodic fighting continued in Athens and Piraeus British forces completed capture of the PiraeuS docks and moved up the Piraeus- Athens road to within TOO yards of embattled OmonoiaS Square.
 In northwest Greece, right-wtng EdeS forces were trying to hold out along line running northwest of Preveza, but already have yielded half the territory they held before superior Elas units attacked last week.
 SkillfulIy Packed
 British sources revealed that Brit ish patrols had made a routine search of the sewers beneath the Crank Britain hotel last night and found them clear6. Sometime before the morning patrol. however. per- sons obviously familiar with the handling of explosives brought in the cache and packed 1t with great skill.
 Churchill, personally intervening in the Greek crisis for the first time, issued an invitation to the Elas Gen. trio committee yesterday soon after his surprise arrival by plane in Athens with British Foreign Secre- tary Anthony Eden and Marshal Sir Harold R. l.. C.. Alexander, supreme allied Mediterranean con1- marder.
 Archbishop DamaSkinos will pre- side at the conference. which a spe- cial British communique said was designed to put an end to fratri- cidal strife in Greece and enable her to resume her place among the United Nations"
 LeftiSt sources reported that the ElaS called an emergency meeting last night to select delegates for the conference scheduled for 1 p. m. (1O a. m. ewt). One report was that the Elas was attempting to estab. fish contact with Kreek government leaders before the conference.
 If so, it would mark the first direct contact between the leftists and the members of the government since hoStilities broke out.

naval battle. All U. s. ship and plane losses in that action have been made public, he said.
 Losses announced were a light carrier, two escort carriers, two de- stroyers, one destroyer escort and some lesser craft.
 'The public should not be led, by false rumorS of supposedly un- announced facts, to deprecate the achievement of the officers and men of the Third and Seventh Fleets in that action" he added ''The Japanese fleet was indeed beaten, routed, and broken"
 He said the Nays silence on damage inflicted during the second phase of the Philippine naval cam paign-the phase following the big sea battle-"has left the field clear for the Japanese to make fantastic claims, perhaps fishing for informa- ticn.
 Perhaps the best way to assess the results o fJapanese air attacks against our fleets since the second botJAC OAIAAC GAAA4APhAA4C CCG 10 W ask whether those attacks nave dis rupted our plans for future actions" !" he sad. They have not. The fall of Leyte and our landing on Min- doro are 8 concrete demonstration that they have not.
 Another such demonstration is our carrier raids on Luzon. Our am- phibious attack on Ormoc is an- other. Our troops freedom from surface ship bombardment on Leyte and Mindor is still another.
 Tn spite of all the Japanese have been able to 10, both with their Navy and with their Ian. based air. craft, we and not they are winning the campaign for the Philippines. We now dominate the waters around those islands and the aii over them. In the ordered course of events, Gen.

Continued from Page D landings at Palompon, IS miles northwest of Ormoc and the last port on the island still in Japanese hands, and at Puerto Bello, due west across Ormoc Bay from Or moo.
 The 77th division, LiberatorS of OrmOc, caught the Japanese com- letely unawares with its landing at Palompon and forged inland to within 10 miles or less of another column striking along an east-west road from the Ormoc corridor. Lit- tie resistance was being encount- cred.
 The seventh division landed at Puerto Bello, five and 8 half miles west of Ormoc, also against little resistance, while the 32nd and first cavalry divisions, smashing the last enemy resistance in the Ormoc cor ridor, drove rapidly toward the west.
 Farther north, the 24th division marched clear across the northwest tip of the island and cleaned up the west coast in the San Isidro area, 24 miles north of Palompon.
 MacArthur placed Japanese losses in the Leyte-Samar campaign since the American landing Oct. 20 at 4,338 Japanese dead already recov- cred, an estimated 18,500 dead eith- CT buried by the enemy or still to be recovered, 439 prisoners. 5000 troops sunk at sea in 10 conveys attempting to reinforce the garri- son, and $500 naval ratings in the crews of fl transports of 164,250 tons and 27 warshipS sunk.
 In addition, 2,748 Japanese planes were shot down, 1,515 by land-baSed aircraft and the remainder by car- rie aircraft from the Third fleet. Macarthur said Japanese ground forces had been practically annihil- ated."
 American losses ill the campaign, he said, totalled 11,217-2,623 dead, 8,422 wounded and l72 missing.
 Virtually all the casualties oc- cured on Leyte, since only small- scale actions were fought on Samar, just northwest of Leyte.
 In addition to hitting Clark field, Manila, American planes during the weekend also dropped 132 tons of explosives or damaging 16 parked planes and severely cratering run ways.
 Other planes sank three small freighters at Davao, on the south coast of Mindanao in the Philip innihiHTpernsg.

One Soviet spearhead drove into the caiptals western limits yester- day in a five mile advance that car ried from Torbagy to Budakesd, which is separated from the city's build-up districts by a naile-wide park.
 Nine miles to the south, another armored column penetrated within two miles of the city proper at Nagyteteny, and communique dis- closed that everywhere along the nine-mile line the SovietS were only three miles or less from their goal.
 Tolbukhin's left wing, meanwhile, hammered out a 15-mile gain north ward from captured Biscke to seize Csolnok, six miles below Esztergom and les than i've miles from the Danube bend. Another spearhead to the southeast took Leanyvar, 13 miles northwest of Budapest and less than nine miles south of the Danube.
 Counter Attacks
 German armored forces counter attacked repeatedly against the Hanks of the Russian salient jut- ting up toward the Danube but failed to halt the Red army drive. At least 61 Maxi tanks were wreck ed in the breakthrough area Sum- day and Russian planes knocked out 20 more yesterday.
 At the same time, other Russian forces c2 miles southwest of Buda- pest began on advance up the Sze- kesfehervar-vienna railway line and captured Moha, 67 miles from the Austrian border.
 Far to the north of Budapest, units of Marshal Rodion Y. Mali novsky's Second Ukrainian army ad- vanced five miles along the edge of the Bratislava Plain to take Setich, eight miles west of Sahy. Another column drove up six miles north of Sahy toward the Slovak railway town of zvolen in a thrust apparently aimed at clearing Malinovsky's northern flank preparatory to big push westward toward Vienna.

She said she had been in love with his dark, curly brown hair, and healthy, childish enthusiasm. Miss Ivey, who police said had been picked up in Spokane several times on morals charges, showed the effect of her month of flight. She was nervous and her flnger-nails were chewed to the quick.
 T guess I became angry with him and hit him with wine bottle," she told Shropshire. He yelled and I guess I became scared that the others in the apartment house would be awakened, and I hit him again. He was standing in the middle of the floor and after he yelled I hit him some more. He sat down and I hit him again. Finally he rolled over on the floor and lay still"

 "But my bullets were faster and I guess I got quite few of them" " he said.
 Some of the Liberators dropped their bombloadS on Chichi Jima in the Bonin Islands, reporting in- tense but inaccurate anti-aircraft fire.
 Col. Lawrence J. Carr, Chicago. commanding officer of the Seventh Bomber Command, describing the attack as prelude to the final co- ordinated attack on the Japanese homeland. said that the attack re- alized a year-old ambition of the men of his command.
 For the past year." Carr said, "theSe men have comprised the only sizeable heavy bombardment in the Central Pacific. Their motto in progressing from island to island has been wreck 'em, build 'en1, use 'em, leave 'em."
 This hope ha Scarried them from Hawaii to within $50 miles of Japan with the constant hope that other bombardment units would join them in the real job of the destruction of the enemy.
 ''rhe hope has now materialized into something that will soon be . common occurrence"

(Continued from Page D Commissioner for the Fifth District has been modified to the extent that the appointee is to refrain from pri- vote practice, although within the past year the salary has been upped from $6,500 to its present level of 5000. The terms of onice is five years.
 Local G. O. P. forces may hve considerable to say relative to many coming appointees for state posi- tions, due to the strong showing of the party here during the last cleo. tion when President received by 3 3,2O0 majority out of . total vote of over 10000. Conversely. local democratic officials came in for much criticism because of the result.
 Howecer, sources claim that State COP authorities are more inclined to favor the efforts of the Summa brothers rather than other local G. O. P. leaders.
 Possibility of & Shake-up in local Republican leadership has been hinted of late with meetings said to be schedudled beaween town com- lnittee members and Con. Joseph E. Talbot, soon.

 That was the greatest one-day kill" since the massed destruction of the WehrmachtS mechanical power in the battle of France last summer, mad it raised tre three day total of German tanks and trans port destroyed or damaged to more than 2,200.
 Counter measures by the Amer ican ground forces maSSing along the northern and southern Hanks ot the 1,30O- square mile German pock- ct also were beginning to take hold
 American armored forces bit one to three miles into the southern shoulder of the pocket early Mon- day all along a front of more than 25 miles extending from the Lux embourg Belgian border town of Martelange to the Echternach area on the Luxembourg German front fer.
 At the same time, headquarters revealed that crack American troops on the northern flank handed the Nazis a terrific beat ing Christmas eve in & large-scale tank battle for the town of Gleize, three miles northwest of Stavelot. The Tanks knocked out 49 enemy tanks, six big guns and 35 half- tracks, captured 200 prisoners and counted 500 Nazi dead when they finally cleare dthe town.
 Hodges Holds Firmly
 The strong American stand at Gleize indicated that Hodges forces still were holding firmly on the Madmedy-Stavelot line barring the direct road to Liege and it was believed the Nazis had aban- doned their original plan to strike directly up against that Belgian fortress.
 On the southern flank, First Army troops, joined, according to Berlin accounts, by reserves from the American Third and Seventh armies, battered with increasing weight and effectiveness against the strong Nazi covering forces protecting the side of the Salient.
 The biggest gain was carved out along the western border of Lux embourg where the American counter attack drove forward three miles to take Chaumont. five miles south-southeast of the highway center of Bastogne, where an en- circled American force still was holding out under heavy attack.
 At least two American relief columns were pounding northward toward Bastogne against stiff Nazi opposition, one at Chaumont and second slightly farther east and south in the Tintange area.
 The Americans also recaptured Warnach, just southwest of Tin tange, and a cluster of Luxen- bourg towns extending westward across the Grand Duchy from Martelange to the Echternach area, including Bigonville, Neun- hausen, Heiderscheid, Arsdorf and Mostrof.
 Farther to the west, strong Ger man forces continued to shove out against the southern wall of their salient in an effort to protect their advanced Spearheads striking for the Mouse.
 The Nazis pushed out eight miles south-southwest of Bastogne to take Rosiere and IS miles south- west of BaStogne where they cap- tured Libramont, 16 miles north east of the French border and 24 miles northeast of Sedan.
 Unconfirmed reports broadcast by the German radio in an ap- parent effort to obtain informa- tion, said the British Second Army was being regrouped and that all leaves had been cancelled.
