Further assurance OF an indus

obtain plant facilities near here.

Motor Company officials stated, al
though 1t is expected, the new en-
terprise will be in that area.
More definite plans wilhsnot be
announced until Army officials

Speculations are that Packard
intends to erect a building for de-
velopment of aircraft engines.
Packard, now producing Rolls
Royce engines for both American
and British planes, established an
aircraft engine experimental and
test department at Toledo several
months ago, and the firm president,
G. T. Christopher, announced to
the employees last August that the
company intended to remain in the
aircraft engine production after the

powerful defensive anchor IN their

Undoubtedly Aachen remains one
OF the notable possibilities for a

The crossing OF the Rhine, which

than the Siegfried line, IL likely

Although there have been no

Few battles for cities In this
war have 30 intrigued the peoples
OF the western Allies as that over
ancient Aachen, probably because
they hope that from II they can
learn the strength OF Germany's
determination and the extent of
her ability to make q finish fight.
It's likely that this grim battle
will indeed give us a fairly accur-
ate answer 10 the problem-which
Is both military and psychological.
Already II Is clear that Hitler In
tends TO make this a test case, as
witness the manner in which he
has flung crack armored troops
into the conflict at the approaches
to the old town. Thus we have
further confirmation that he Is de-
termined to hang on TO the death,
