cruelty.

pected to become a mother, OBJ
tanned annulment of their mar

asked custody of their child,
Cheryl Christina Crane, but she
sought no alimony.

BY De Witt Mackenzie

The fierce battle raging in the
Aachen sector OF the western front,
where Uncle Sans First Army has
crashed through the crust of the
powerful Siegfried line, is In that
critical stage where a bit Of good
luck might tip the scales heavily
towards the Allied side.
The doughboys are continuing to
widen the wedge they've driven
into the west wall, which is par
ticularly strong in this strategic
zone. Our tanks have been flung
into the opening in an effort to
bore through 10 the open plain
which leads 10 the Rhenish city Of
Cologne-gateway to the Great
Ruhr industrial region and to Ber-
lin beyond.
The Germans are going all-out iu
their defense, having flung every
thing they can spare into this i'm.
portant engagement. They fully
recognize that should the Allies
make a clean break-through. carry.

Passenger Tire Picture Not
SO Bright; Schedule Reduced

Washington, Oct. GINS The
War Production Board presented
another dark picture for the ma
tion's automobile owners today
with the disclosure that demands
for large truck and bus tires will
limit the overall 1914 output to
1876 million castings, or 3.5 million
below schedule.
WPB originally scheduled thirty
million passenger tires for produc-
ton this year, and cut this figure to
twenty-five million in March. Later,
production levels were reduced to
twenty million.
Hiland G. Batcheller, WPB chief
of operations, said. however, that
the estimated SIS million tires
which will be produced in the last
quarter OF 1914 is expected to be
sufficient to absorb a backlog OF
$50, 900 tire requests by "B" and
&c" card holders by Jan. !.
Asserting that Essential civilian
tire requirements are on the way
to being solved" Batcheller added
that production estimates for the
first quarter OF 1945 have been
placed at 2.5 million castings per
month. or thirty million for the
year.
Batcheller emphasized that man.
power shortages have been respon-
sible for deficiencies in heavy truck
and large plane tires. AS of Oct.
