TAKES FRESH LOOK

Solomon + Bloom. of Brook
lyn College, in the current Jour
nal Of Political Economy. takes
a fresh look at the economics
of Karl Marx. most OF his con-
illusions are negative.
He points Out
THE more technical political
conclusions that NarNiStS have
drawn from the prevalence of
class conflict have been perhaps
as frequently belied by events
as they have been confirmed -.
The fact is that the psychic
logical side of the thought of
Marx. who in this n in other
matters reflected current at
titutcS, II StriktUEiy weak. -.
Profc sor Bloom concludes
that MARKS influence was not
.crgndent on his capacity as an
economist or rs q philosopher,
bur rather on the pertnepCe of
ms political views on the inn
mediate problems m the public
mind Professor Bloom indicates

furry observations concerning in

 The Jap quake, the Domei broad cast said, was severe, but losses were limited to buildings damaged in one area, and on the whole not much damage was done"

 UP TO PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-Fingers were crossed today as Congress looked hopefully to the White House for speedy action on bill freezing the social security payroll tax at one per cent.
 If the President vetoes the bill in the face of the humping Sen- ate and House majorities, Legisla- tors hope he does it without delay so they can vote on overriding it and get home for Christmas. The Senate approved it yesterday, 47 to 19.
 After the bill reaches the Presi- dent he has 10 days to sign or vetoe it, not counting Sundays. If he fails to act, the bill becomes law, provided Congress hasn't adjourned in the meantime. In that case, he could kill it if he chose by not doing anything.
 The Senate has also voted to extend the Presidents extraordi- nary powers over rationing and al- location of vital materials for an- other year It has already passed the House.

MacARTHUR'S HEADQUARI- FRS IN THE PHILIPPINES, Dec. 9. Three years from the day the Jap anese first struck at the Philippines United States Seventy-seventh Di- vision troops slashed through the Nip defenders of Ormoc to reach the outskirts of that enemy stronghold.
 General Macarthur announced this last advance by the veterans of Guam in the first "A hours after surprise landing at the rear of the Yamashita line, which advance ex- ceeded two miles.
 At the same time, the Seventh Di- vision to the south, pushed up the coast to reduce the gap between it and the Seventy y-seventh to five miles.
 Macarthur said substantial en- emy forces" are caught in squeeze play and are facing annihiiation.
 Americans, along the wide front, observed the anniversary of the Jap anese attack with a general advance. Besides the land advances six small enemy vessels were sunk on the seventh. They were set afire on December 5. All were loaded with personnel, presumably heading for Ormoc.

Allies to Smash Ndzi Hopes of Water Barrier-A
 lion Hold Cracking

PARIS, Dec. 9.--U. s. Third Army troops fought from house to house in the eastern part of Sarreguemines today, after a new forcing of the Saar by the Third Army beating against eight Saar Valley steel towns, smouldering from fighter bomber attacks.
 Field guns ripped the provincial city of Saarbrucken. Americans are within couple of miles of Saar- brucken, but Supreme Headquarters said they had no confirmation on reports that the citys outskirts had been reached
 Above Saarlautern their comrades repulsed strong German counter attacks and then seized twelve more pillboxes in the Siegfried line.
 Further south, the Nazis' last AL satian stand is cracking up. Bomb CTS gouged at the Neuf Brisach es- cape bridge over the Rhine near Colmar.
 on the northern flank of the long Allied line, both sides maintained thunderous artillery fire, but the relative lull in ground activity sug- gested that American First and Ninth Armies are gathering strength for smash at the last German hopes of holding along the flooded Roer River before Cologne and Paren.
 The German High Command in- dicated that the whole western bank of the Roer River at Julich surren- dered, declaring that bridgehead garrisons 'battled their way sGck to the eastern bank of the Roer after repulsing grim enemy attacks
 The Allied communique reported two small pockets west of the river near Julich.
