Air Support Wins
Praise From Patton

1t. Gen. George S. Patton, COM
mander of the Sd Army, has paid
high tribute to the effectiveness of
the air support in his lightning drive
toward Germany, Secretary of War
Stimson disclosed today at his press
conference.
The general especially singled out
the 18th Tactical Air Command un-
der Brig. Gen. Otto P. Weyland for
a swell job" in letter to Gen. H.
H. Arnold, chief of the Army Air
Forces.
AFTER we got the enemy on the
move Gen. Patton wrote, "the
tanks pushed him so hard he could
not deploy but had to stick to the
roads and the fighter bombers
would then come down and get
him. For about $50 miles I have
seen the calling cards OF the fighter
bombers, which are bullet marks in
the pavement and burned tanks and
trucks in the bitches"
Gen. Patton hailed the great
spirit of comradeship between the
tighter bomber pilots and Army re-
connaissance officers. They contin-
ually talked to each other through,
the air support parties and have
gotten to the point where they
known each others first names and
joke together" he said. 1T is pro-
ducing wonderful results"

Breathing Spell for Naxis.
Writing from the Moselle Valley
in the Metz-Nancy region. Associ-
ated Press War Correspondent Yves
Gallagher said, Some ofiicers be-
lieve that II Patton's forces had been
in position to maintain their pace,
the Sd Army would have driven
straight into Germany before the
Germans had time to organize the
Moselle defenses or the Siegfried
Line"
As 1t is. however, the weeks
breathing spell gave the Germans
time to dig in along the. Moselle.
"Where the Germans were feehng
back in confusion a week ago." said
Mr.. Gallagher, they now have had
time to regroup and reorganize for
a stand" MA EI41 ST
There was evidence that the Ger
mans had ordered withdrawal from
some cities along the Moselie, but
theE returned when the pursuit
slowed up. he added. It was some
where in this area that American
patrols made the first penetration
of the Reich last Sunday, then re-
turned to the main forces. rs'
Infantry Bearing Brunt.
For the time being Gen. Patton
has shifted his infantry into the
brunt of the battle to open a gap
through which he can force his
armor and start the Germans in
flight again. That is not expected
to take long, Mr.. Gallagher said.

in the direction of Krakow in their
first operation on the eastern front,
an oficial report disclosed.
Soviet crews in medium tanks set
four afire and maneuvered 10 into
antitank pits as they attempted to
withdraw, thus capturing them
alive"
The Royal Tiger, adapted from
the Mark vi Tiger, is 23 feet long,
Is feet wide and 10 feet high, the
report said. It's frontal armor is
twice as thick as the old Tiger.
A Soviet officer who participated
in the first engagement with the
monsters said the new tank has
many defects, chief of which are its
great weight and its huge dimen-
sions."
"It makes a splendid target for
u.s." he added.
