Maryland Council Gets
Five Proposals 70
Alter Constitution
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMO June 21,-Five
amendments to the Maryland Con-
stitution to streamline General
Assembly procedure and to provide
additional county home rule were
submitted to the Legislative Council
at its June meeting today.
One of four proposals, drafted
last night by the Local Laws Sub
committee headed by Senator James
j. Lindsay of Baltimore would take
authority over certain local mat
ters from the Legislature and give
1t under a companion bill, to the
county commissioners.
Mr.. Lindsay said the local laws
concerned were those which had
caused most legislative log jams in
the past.
A judicial subcommittee approved
another amendment to make uni
form throughout the State the
sentence for non-payment of fines.
Mr.. Lindsay said it would repeal
specifically any local statutes on
the subject. thereby preventing re-
currence of confusion caused last
week when the Court of Appeals
ruled a Baltimore City ordinance
held precedence over a State law.
The Local Laws subcommittee also
approved two measures which would
transfer administration of salaries
and expenses of SheTiffS and Or
phans' Court officials from the Legis-
lature to the county commissioners.
A fourth subcommittee proposal
would make Rules Committee rec
ommendation plus reading IN the
Legislature mandatory for introduc-
ton of local bills in the last 20 days
of a General Assembly session. Un-
der present law two-thirds vote
for rules suspension is necessary for
introduction of local bill in the
last 10 days of session.

THIRD ARMY ENTERS FAMED NAIL LINE

PARIS, Dec. 8.-(AP)-Lt. Gen. Patton hammered home the at- tack today, mile and half into the Siegfried Line, and eight miles deep into Germany's Saar Valley, while his Third Army took long Toms ana howitzers and ripped to pieces its capital at Saarbruchen.
 The campaign, which is only a month old today, and has already invalidated the ricn coal region which supplies the German Army 10 per cent of its iron and steel.
 The infantry broadened it's foothold across the Saar and are merging the three original cross ings into two strong bridgeheads at Saarlautern and Dillinger, along the stretch where the the whole east bank is involved.
 This is built very solidly with one little war industry steel town after another.
 The cavalry squadron extend ed it's lines inside Forbach, the French rail town, which is three and one-half miles southwest of Saarbrucken.

 As the Alaska Airlines did not have a plane small enough to land at this place, Rev. Paul Carlson went to his rescue talk ing the, company's mechanic, Bert SBeltz, to aid in the repairs.
 Two trips were made to the scene of the accident with parts and necessary equipment.

YAMASHITA LINE SEIZED IN TIRE MOVES
By C. YATES MCDANIEL

UNDATED - The American forces in three sensational moves seized the center of the Japanese Yamashita line On tn ewest coast of Leyte, it was reported today.
 They wiped out 13 ships of the Nipponese convoy and inflicted heavy losses in ships and lives, as we'll as stopping a spectacular enemy paratroop threat.
 Headquarters announced that the amphibious force was com- posed of the Yankee 77th Infantry Division, which was supported by navy and marine elements.
 They sailed around the south end of Leyte and landed on De- cember 7th, three miles south of Ormoc, in the enemy's rear.
 The landing force just beat the enemy convoy into Ormoc, the principal Japanese Lyete port.
 The American forces prompt ly turned upon it and sank ali 13 vessels, including four large loaded transports.
 During the activity they also downed 62 enemy planes.
 The Japanese, in a desperate diversionary attempt, loosed 200 paratroopers in the area between the two American airfields on the eastern side of the island which was the scene of the origi- nal landings of the enemy sky troops.
 They accomplished some sabo- tage, Gen. MacArthur reported, but most of them were killed.
 Macarthur also said: eve have seized the center of the Yamashita line from the rear and have split the enemy's forces in two."
 He also stated that the Ormoc landings caught the Japanese un- prepared and drove wedge be- tween the forces from the north and south of Ormoc.

To the north the Germans again cloaked their movements on the east bank of the Roer river with smoke screens as the U. S. Ninth Army patrols pushed to the bank of the flooded river Roer.
 Beyond the Hurtgen forest and the village of Bergstein, the al- lies jabbed down the Alsace plain to within four miles of Col mar, where front line dispatches state that the Germans are fight ing rear-guard action toward the Rhine rail bridge at Breesach.
 Fourteen miles away vanguards of the French First Army troops are virtually clearing the long Rhur river valley through Vosges and have carried the fighting into the streets of Bitshwiller.

mediately had her children all oc-
cupied with activities looking toward
their better tomorrows."
One August prairie fire started
in their ranch, near Alton, Okla.
Although her father, his sons, and
his ranch hands fought 1t desper-
ately by blowing burrows ahead Of
1t day and night, it kept gaining on
them. The air was dark with smoke
and all about them were the roar
and smell Of burning grass.
Children Taken to Spring.
In the late afternoon, the two
little girls who had been left alone
in the ranch house saw their mother
coming toward them, her face black
with smoke, her clothes wet and
clinging to her body. Saying not a
word, she led them hurriedly by the
hand to the spring. There, all
standing close to the water, she
recited verses of Scripture and told
each to say prayer.
Little Edith said, Now I Law me
down to sleep"
Her sister repeated the Lords
Prayer.
Then her mother knelt and said
a prayer so beautiful and poignant
Mrs Brainerd remembers it word
for word today.
Next she had them sit on a loq
and she stood back of them. Just
then their father came rushing UP,
with the news that the fire had been
turned In the direction of the creek,
After he had rested and bathed his
sineed and blackened hands and
face, the children heard their
mother say to him, Il took the little
girls to the spring, for had decided
II there were no hope I would rather
push them in and drown than see
them burn to death"
