S0lons Race To Adjourn
Four Major Bills Ready
For Germany's End /;
Sent To F.D.R.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20-lRE
Congress completed today the last
of four major bills preparing for
the collapse of Germany, sending
to President Roosevelt's desk
States Rights" legislation draw
ing the outlines for rehabilitation
and reconversion.
Victorious in race against time,
the lawmakers reached for their
hats to go home until after the
November elections. Many of them
face tough fights for reelection.
Speaker Rayburn D-Tex) voiced
hope that the recess would start
late this week.
The rehabilitation and reconver-
sion bill included a mandate on the
release of soldiers and sailors no
longer needed to fight, declaring:
THE War. and Navy depart
ments shall not retain persons in
the armed forces for the purpose
of preventing unemployment or
awaiting opportunities for employ
ment.''
The legislation leaves control OF
unemployment insurance entirely
in state hands. At house insistence
it was stripped of senate provisions
for back home travel pay, up to
5000 a family, for war workers,
and unemployment insurance for
8, 100, 900 federal employees.
Chairman Doughron O-NC) Of
the Ways and Means committee,
who led the battle against these
provisions, told the house he would
call the committee to make a
study Of back home travel allow
ances and federal employe jobless
insurance when congress reassem
bles.
The legislation sets up separate
administration to handle reconver-
sion problems. 1t provides non-in-
terest loans for states and cities
to plan postwar works; guar
antees the solvency of state unem-
ployment compensation funds, and
sets up a retraining and reemploy-
ment office with power to coordl-
nate existing activities.
The four-way program embraces:
l. Creation of the war mobili-
cation and reconversion admins
tt ration, through the legislation
which the house, by an overwhel-
ming voice vote, sent to the presl-
dent today.
2. Machinery for the disposal
OF about $780, 100000, 600 of war-ac-
cumulated property, under the SUI
pervision of a three-member board.
This bill also is On the president S
desk.
3. "A system for terminating
war contracts, intended to facilitate
industry in speedily shifting from
the production of weapons of war
tn civilian goods This legislation
already is on the statute books.
4. The 'GI Bill of Rights u
also made law, providing benefits
for war veterans.

The all important concrete
bridge, a mile and half long anc
900 feet above the swift flowing

quarters declared officially at mid
night, but it was firmly held by
the Germans, and a great, swirl
ing battle was raging.
The airborne troops in the Arm
hem sector were completely sur.
rounded" by the Nazis, headqua-.
tiers said officially, and battled
furiously in the pocket against the
German ring.
The Germans increased their air
activity greatly and threw planes
into heavy bombing and strafing
operations both at Anthem and
Nijgemen, and also at British-held
Eindhoven.
The great battle across the Rhine
delta, the German radio said,
might prove a decisive western
front engagement.
Seventy miles to the south U. 5.
First Army troops under 1t. Gen.
Courtney H. Hodges reached Ores
senich, four miles east of Stolberg,

this area fought furiously and with
better coordination than at any
time since the battle of Normandy,
front dispatches said.
The Americans were hanging
grimly to the breaches in the Sieg-
fried line. They repealed repeated
fierce infantry and tank attacks,
and So enemy tanks were knocked
out by the First Army in yester-
days fighting alone. The Nazis
were throwing in huge reserves
in an effort to prevent further
penetration into Germany east OF
Aachen.
The German news agency DNB
said Allied patrols from the Arm
hem sector which had driven across
the Dutch-German frontier were
pushed back in sharp counterat-
tacks. Allied reports said supplies
and reinforcements continued to be
flown to the sky troops in this
area, despite heavy flax and dis
NAL weather.

British Second Army merged with
the other two airborne task forces
in the snowballing drive across

spectacular advance. Several
clashes occurred. particularly at
the town of Best, where consider,
