WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-(P)
The grinding fury of the Ger
man winter offensive resound-
ed across the ocean today to
drive home to Americans the
grim prospect Of really long
war.
American war workers who
turned out the ammunition and
other equipment being thrown
against the drive of the Nazi
hordes, it is clear now, have a
whale of job of replacement
and addition.
And American civilians as a
whole have now been told that
they will have to continue to
get along without lot of things
they have been missing.
Still another possibility-the
extent depends in large part on
casualties being suffered at the
fronts that draft calls will
grow in size.
Chairman j. A. Krug Of the
War Production Board put it this
way last night:
eff General Eisenhower had
been able TO break through the
westwall promptly, the equip
ment we had under procurement
would have been sufficient.
''He hasn't been able to, and
it looks as if it may take quite
a long time. We must get ready
to fight the kind of war we've
been fighting in the last two
months for the next year or as
long as it takes"
General Courtney Hodges
First Army has been bearing the
fullest force of the German drive
and Krug mentioned the possible
necessity of re-equipping this
whole Army.
Word that the freeze Of civil
ian production Except for vital
ly needed items) probably will
be prolonged came from Samuel
w. Anderson, vice chairman Of
the WPB.
1.-THE present military situation
in Europe will come back and
hit us between the eyes in vari-
Gus ways, at present unknown,
