KINZWEILER, Germany, Nov 20
tDelayed Ninth Army tank crews
daringly drove through uncleared
minef1elds yesterday in spearhead-
ing the capture of Kinsweiler, 8
miles northeast of Aachen, in a 40
minute maneuver praised as
superb"
Starting from nearby Warden,
nine tanks commanded by 1t. Floyd
M. jenkins, Jamica, Iowa, rumbled
through open fields, and came un-
expectedly on group of signs read
ing "Minen." The Germans had not
had time to remove the warnings.
There was no other way to go
and the tankers said they'd go
through anyway" said Capt.
Richard Wood, Minneapolis, in
fantry operations officer. "They were
determined not to let the dough-
boys down.
Finest of Men.
'These tankers are the finest bunch
Of boys you could get.f When four
tanks were immobilized by mines,
their crews grabbed tommyguns,
jumped out, and fought their way
into the town with the infantry.
AS result, we took Kinzweiler with
very few casualties.
Il looked each way and there were
mines, mines, mines everywhere,
but every one of our boys just keep
on going" 1t. jenkins said. Il was
expecting to be blown out of the
turrent any minute, but I guess I
was lucky. The tank driver right in
back of me said our tank kicked up
mines and left them standing on
end, but they didn't go off.
"One tank which got stuck just
sat there and fired Sc rounds at the
German antitank guns to protect us.
Finally the Germans made it so hot
for them they had to get out"
This crew included Pvt. Ray

Nonwar Agencies
To Be Cut 10 Bone,
Cannon Predicts
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
The most drastic money cuts
in congressional history for non
war agencies were predicted to-
day by Chairman Cannon Of the
House Appropria tions Committee
Clearing his desk for considera-
ton Of the regular appropriation
bills for the coming fiscal year, Mr..
Cannon said he believes "the time
has come when we must cut right
down through the bone and put a
stop to unnecessary spending"
He foresaw no immediate sharp
curtailment in war spending, which
in the last two years has scared
to record high, but predicted total
congressional appropriations for
the 1945-46 fiscal year would be be-
low the SGT ,O00,00O,000 provided for
the current II months.
80 long as we are in a war, we
must be prepared to spend large
sums OF money to finance it," Mr.
Cannon said in an interview.
He added that the fact that most
capital outlays already have been
made for the War and Navy De-
partuents should result in lower
totals for those two agencies next
year.
1T now Is largely a matter of
maintaining and keeping going
what we already have provided" !"
he said.
THE nonwar items must be Sc
verely curtailed," he continued.
Never before have there been cuts
AS drastic as we are going to have
to make next year"
Agencie Must Furnish Proof.
BY "nonwar items" Mr.. Cannon
explained, he meant "all those items
which cannot be proved to be di-
rectly connected with the prosecu-
tiOn of the war"
While in past years many civilian
agencies have commended they were
doing work directly connected with
the war, they are going to have
TO furnish convincing proof here
after" he warned.
The Appropriation Committee.
now winding up its work with an
overall supplemental supply meas
IRE, will begin hearings shortly on
the big money bills for the new
fiscal year. There are approximately
a score of them.

French reinforcements were re-
ported pouring toward the front
through the oyerrun Belfort Gap.
The Germans threw a few Tiger
tanks and some infantry across a
l2-mile sector of the French corri-
dor between Courtelevant and Bisel,
but the French kept supplies moving
toward the Rhine over secondary
roads. The French fought to clear
the German dent and to prevent
Germans from driving to the Swiss
border for internment. Heavy ar
tillery duels were fought.
NaZis Counterattack.
It's left flank collapsed, the Ger
man 18th Army hurled what
strength it could into a counter
attack against French units moving
northward along the west bank of
the Rhine.
There were no immediate details
at supreme headquarters on the
strength, exact focal point or initial
gains, if any, of the enemy counter
attack First reports indicated it
was thrown in from the direction Of
Colmar southeastward past Null
house against the flank of the
French 1st Army armored drive out
Of the Belfort Pass area.
The enemy thrust apparently was
aimed in the general direction of
Suarce and Delle-the thinnest spot
in the reinforcement line where
every road is jammed with more
men and supplies moving up to ths
Rhine.
Between the two hanks of the IS
mile southern front, the Germans
pulled back toward the Rhine as the
Allied offensive tore through the
snowy valleys of the Vosges.
Is Miles in "a Hours.
At the upper end of the southern
front some units speared ahead as
much as Is miles in "a hours.
Others, however, gained by slow
yards in hard-contested fighting
From north to south, the front
looked like this:
The British I'd Army captured
Maasbree and moved to a point
miles west of Venlo. 1t reached
the outskirts of Baarlo, 4 miles
southeast of the Dutch border town
of $1,000, and reached the edge OF
Sevenum, miles northwest of
Venlo
The United States 9th Army gained
up to more than miles, oyerrun-
ming nine towns yesterday, and then
kept right on overnight, adding 2
more miles.
The American Sd Army was run
ming into harder crust of German
defenses inside Germany-mine-
fields, road blocks antitank barriers
and a curtain of artillery in the
forefield of the Siegfried Line. The
Sd Army has an 11-mile line inside
Germany. Some points held are 3
miles inside the Reich from Luxem-
bourg.
Nazi General Captured.
About 1,500 prisoners were Gagged
at Metz yesterday, including Maj.
Gen. Kittel, divisional commander
and the Understanding Nazi Off
Ger in Metz.
Lunging on east of Metz, Sd Army
troops battered the Germans back
to within 10 miles of the Reich from
tier, just west of Saarbrucken, and
still were surging ahead.
But it was on the south flank
where the mounting pressure of
which Gen. Eisenhower spoke yes
terday was beginning to collapse
German resistance.

Big Flood Control Bill
Hits Snag in Senate
Over Further Twas
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's plans for
other projects like the Tennessee
Valley Authority formed the back
ground today for an unexpected
Wrangle in the Senate over the
81 ,000, 100000 f1ood-control bill.
Passage of the measure was held
up yesterday while Majority Leader
Barkley tried to reWrite one section
which he said might be construed
as creation of future TWAS"
Senator Barkley's efforts ran into
the opposition of Senator Clark,
Democrat, of Missouri, foe of the
proposed Missouri Valley Authority.
When Senator Clark referred to Sem
atod Barkley's amendment as cheap
catering" to st. Louis newspaper edi-
torlal writer's, the Democratic floor
leader snapped back:
Il wish to state in reply to the
Senator from Missouri that it is a
matter of Indifference to me how
cheap he thinks my performance
may be here in offering the amend
ment."
The flood-control bill carries no
funds for food-navigation- power
authorities such as IVA, but the
section to which Senator BarkIey
objected states.
"It is the purpose of this act to
establish a. definite policy of max
ing use of existing Federal agencies
for the construction, operation and
maintenance of all public improve
ments in connection with naviga-
ton, flood control and allied &C
tiyities :"
Senator Barkley proposed to limit
this policy statement to the projects
provide for only in this bill. SEN
ator Clark said it was ridiculous"
to submit the amendment, because
1t was well known that this Con-
gress could not binds future Con-
crosses to any policy.
Senator Chandler, Democrat, of
Kentucky, siding with Senator
Barkley, said if the majority lead
ers amendment was beaten he
would move to strike out the entire
disputed section.
President Roosevelt recently told
a news conference the administra-
tion hopes in the future to sponsor
about seven f1ood-nayigation- power
projects in the major river valleys.
