MacArthur Believes Soldier
 President Could ShortenWar

The report reflects the impression at his headquarters that MacArthur will neither declare his availability for the Republican nomination nor withdraw his name from considera- ton, preferring to ''let events take their course" It is emphasized that he is not taking any time out from war for politics but that no one should assume this to mean that he would not be receptive to the presi- dential nomination.
 Even if he were nominated" the report continues, sources here be- lieve 1t entirely possible that Mac Arthur would not leave his post to campaign. Talking to MacArthur supporters of whom there are many here, get the impression they fore see the possibilities about this way:
 'NacArthur will maintain com- plete silence on political matters pending the Republican national convention but his supporters will 90 Into the convention with a fair bloc of votes from the midwest. One figure mentioned is l2S delegates.

BY LYLE c. WILSON

(United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Washington, Jan. 27-UP)-A recent visitor to Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur's headquarters in the south west Pacific has sent this corres- pondent 6 report on political sen- timent in that outpost which will be of unusual interest to American readers who have been wondering whether the general will be a can didate for President.
 The summary is by an experienced observer, and those who are inter ested in the Macarthur, boom un- doubtedly will be impressed by the fact that 1t was passed through the generals own military censorship.
 Probably the most striking part of this report is the suggestion that MacArthur believes an experienced soldier in the White House would bring an earlier victory in the war.
 @It would not be surprising" the report says at one point. If Mac Arthur felt-as do good many here
 -that the shortest way to victory would 1e lo place an experienced mllIlegg man lp ibe White House.

HOPE TO ADJOURN
 BY TONIGHT
(NEA Telephoto.)

Hartford, Conn, January 27. = (UP) Legislative leaders were hopeful of ad- journing the war-emergency session of the General Assem- ply by tonight, after speed ing up action on an absentee ballot law, and a resolution memoralizing congress to re- lieve the milk situation in Connecticut by raising the price to producers by two cents a quart.
 Both measures were Sched- uled for stiff debate as they came before the Senate and House, where calendars virt- ually were cleared of all other business of the extraordinary session.
 The soldier vote bill provided that on August IS full lists of candidates nominated before that date are to be sent to all absentee ballot appli- cants, and that official and com plete lists of candidates will be mailed to voters at least IA days be- fore election.
 This provision was designed to en- courage political parties to hold their nominating conventions early, so that their candidates will be in- cluded in the early list. Any list mailed after August l5, 1t was said, would not reach members of overseas forces in time to return ballots by election day.
 The bill also authorizes the Sec- retary of State to utilize federal fa- cilities for transmission of the lists

MAJOR STRONGHOLD,
 IS ENC|RCLED
BULLETIN

London, Jan. 27-(UP1 The Red Army announce ed triunphantly today that it had completed the liber- ation of Leningrad, lifting the 28-month siege of the old Czarist capital in a smashing offensive which drove the Germans back from 38 to 62 miles beyond
 Cannon range and freed more than 700 towns and villages.
 Moscow, January 27. (UP) = The 100-mile Ger man front between LeniIl- grad and Lake linen was reported falling apart today. leaving an estimated 250, ,000 groggy, Nazi troops to fight their way as best they could out of a closing Soviet trap.
 By a series of complicated ma neuvers, Gen. Leonid A. GovCrOT had sealed off the area south 0k Leningrad to distance of 26 miles, encircled Tosno, the last major stronghold southeast of the old cap- ital, and captured KrasnogvardeislS. the great transport hub to the southwest.
 Pouring through a massive hole knocked in the Volkhov front, Gen. Kyril A. Meretskov's army to the south as well on the way to reopen- ing the main Moscow-Leningrad railway.
 Only in isolated sectors were the. Germans mastering slifficien3' strength to parry ineffectively with counter thrusts, their sole objectiya being to extricate their main forces from the pocket.
 Only a few miles separated the armies of Govorov and Meretskov In the Tosno sector.
 More important than GovOrov'a sensational victories on the L.enin@ grda front were Meretskov's thrusta through the center of the German line along the Chudovo- -Tosno sec- ton of the Moscow-Leningrad Raii~ way. Soviet reports said flatly that that segment of the enemy line had collapsed"
 The Russian units which drove through the center of the line from Kirishi reached the railroad at sev- eral points yesterday. Now the Ger mans control only two sections meaK surfing g miles which were under direct threat.
 ChudovO Collapse
 The collapse of the German cen- ter left Chudovo, juction 70 miles southeast of Leningrad, exposed t0 concentric attacks by MeretskOvH forces already assailing its eastern outskirts while other units descend@ ed upon 1t from the northeast.
 The cavein between Chudovo and ToSno put large German forces in a dangerous position. They were threatened with being chopped up into segments and destroyed, milia tary sources reported.
 Farther southeast. Meretskov;e left wing maintained steady pros greSs west of Novogorod. Units ad@ varcing along the shores of Lake linen captured Golino. only foE3 miles northeast of Shimsk, keY junction and supply center.

Catholic Information .. Peace to men of
 good will!

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God, and saying: "Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will" (Luke 2:13-1D.
 Peace to men of good will Good will! If every nation had it for every other nation, racial hatreds, devastating wars, exorbitant arma- ments would be things of the past, and brotherly love, peace and pros perity would reign throughout the world.
 Peace to men of good will Good will! If Capital had it for Labor and Labor for Capital, no longer could there then exist unjust distri- button of wealth, enslavement of the working man, poverty, strikes, riots or communistic threats; for honest cooperation would bring us fair profits, living wage, freedom of the individual and of the family peace and prosperity according to the true American ideal of Chris tianized Democracy.
 Peace to men of good will! Good will! If every religionist had it for every other religionist-no matter how divergent their creeds-then hate, bigotry and persecution would melt before the blessed sun of char ity, tolerance, peace.
 Peace to men of good will! Good will! If every man had it for his God and his neighbor, then all mankind would be regarded, both here and in the life to come, with peace-God's own blissful peace promised by the Heavenly Choir that very first Christmas night.
 To you, our non-Catholic broth CTS in good will, we wish to show our own good will by asking God to grant to you and yours peace happiness and health; and by wish ing you all that goes with that time -hallowed greeting.
 Merry Christmas!
