SHOWDOWN BATTLE

LONDON, Sept. 7.--Gen. Patton's Third Army pounded forward on broad front today toward a show down battle on the Siegfried Line.
 Reaching Nancy and diving wedge into the outskirts of Metz, the two French fortress cities, fore fields of the Nazi West Well, solid 70-mile assault line has been estab- lished.
 The Third Army drove forward from Mouse, the wave directed against the last defenses protecting the homeland.
 From the south of the Belgian city of Louvain to just south of Sedan, France, the First Army is probing the Adrennes Forest along the route taken by the invading Germans in l940, toward one of the weaker links in the Siegfried Line.
 British in Netherlands
 The British Second Army. under It. Gen. Miles Dempsey, operating under a cloak of silence since seiz- ing Antwerp, has been penetrating the Netherlands and is reported to be moving up the Albert Canal just south of the Belgian border. There, it is said, is where it has run into the first organized resistance since jumping off tn Seine northwest of Paris. The Germans declared that they have eliminated the bridgehead across the Albert Canal just north of Antwerp and they are evidently attempting to make a stand along the man-made barrier and it's steep.
 Meet Strong Resistance
 Patton's forces, too, in a push along the 50-mile front toward the German border from Luxembourg to Nancy, are meeting desperate resist ance from the Germans, who have i had time to get their breath while Patton reorganized his supply serv- ice
 l Hodges troops on the left flank have reached Jodoigne, IS miles i north of Namur and only l2 miles 1 southeast of Louvain, where they apparently are about to link up with the British Second Army which is 1 pushing out of that city to the west.
 Belgium Invaded The Canadian First Army has in- vaded Belgium for the first time, sending an amored division to the | famous Canadian battle-ground of Ypres. 10 miles inside Belgium. The Canadians, with forces already on both sides of Calais, have advanced to within seven miles south of the southwest Dunkerque graveyard Of l940 and have prepared to besiege the Germans in the Belgian coastal strongholds of Ostend and Zebrugge.

SITUATION ACUTE, EXPLAINS RUBBER
 REPRESENTATIVE

"The situation in regard to the manufacture of all rubber clothing and footwear is acute everywhere with little, if any, relief in sight for 1945," Bill Diers, United States Rub- Der Company representative told his Juneau customers during brief stopover in this city.
 Diers, making his annual trip to the Territory, is calling on trade in all sections of Alaska in an attempt to make a survey of the needs in this part of the country with the hope that his company will be able to secure permission to manufacture some of the items so essential to AlaSkanS.
 The representative said that the company was doing everything 1t could to get Alaska all the services that it has had in the past, and stated, that on percentage basis the Territory at present is getting more rubber than the States.
 Boots and leather top shoe pacs in children's sizes have all been re- stricted from manufacturing and consequently this puts strain on the few items which are allowed Diers explained. It is not humanly possible, he said, to put out the quantity of goods needed.
 The rubber manufacturers are faced with very serious situation not only by the restrictions but by the fact that there is serious labor shortage, which is exception ally acute in this industry because of the fact that all employees must first be trained to handle synthetic rubber, which, of necessity, is now used entirely in the manufacture of rubber goods. Because of the use of synthetic material, no color or white footwear will appear on the market, with black being the only color available.
 The armed forces, Mir. Diers said naturally receives first consideration in the manufacture of all articles and if the war with Germany ends within the next few months, there will be a slight increase in the rub Der circulation for civilians, and this won't be until 1945.

By DREW PEARSON nh Col Robert $. Allen now on active service with the ArmyD

WASHINGTON - Don't be sur prised if gnarled, wise old ex-Gov- ernor Herbert Lehman soon steps out as head of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Adminis- tration. His resignation is expected soon.
 Officially, Lehman will probably resign in order to campaign in New York State for President Roosevelt's reelection. But actually, there are personal reasons. He has been very much upset by the death of his son in a plane crash in England Also, he is still handicapped by the broken leg he suffered when he fell down the marble steps of the Brit ish Embassy in Algiers last winter In addition, Lehman has beer disappointed over the limited scope given to UNRRA. So far, one inn portant area where relief is badly needed, namely Italy has been de- nied to his organization. IhlS IS because Italy is an ex-enemy coun- try, and it was previously agreed by the forty-four nations which es- tablished UNRRA that no relief should be distributed to an ex- enemy country without the consent of the forty-four members of the United Nations Council.
 And on that council are such enemies of Italy as Yugoslavia ano Greece, whose territory has beer occupied by Italian troops and who do not relish spending any part oi their money or even Allied money to aid Italy.
 If and when Lehman steps down it may not be easy to find a suc-

employees for his exceptional at.
tendance and efficiency record
Saturday afternoon as it launches
the S. S. Orpheus, 143rd vessel
to near completion here. with Miss
Carolyn Faye Batson, of Burgaw,
as sponsor.
She was named sponsor by her
father, R. E. Batson, of Burgaw,
of the Filters department. Mr..
Batson entered the employ of the
yard on September 9, 1941, and
has been absent but three days

liams Pontius, also of Burgaw.
Like all CO type ships now be-
ing built at the yard, the S. S.

was in command some six years.
Among her other captains were
Richard Mitchell, ST., Isaiah

fast time of 10 days from so de-
grees South Pacific to the equator
