WITH AMERICANS SOUTH OF
METZ, Sept. 21.-(Delayed)-tR-
The scholarly-looking colonel from
Colorado peered through pince-ne1
glasses as he sat in his flea-ridden
stable command post and broad
smile broke over his tired, crink-
led face.
1--WE are over the hump" the
Colonel said. 1--WE own our bridge

The colonel has just established
his command post in a shattered
little village. German shells still
were crumping all around. About
two miles up the road hell was
popping in the frontline where the
doughboys were inching forward
and paying dearly for their gains.
As soon as the wires were con-
nected, the telephone rang. 1t was
1t. Col. Paul T. Carroll calling.
''They attacked with tanks -
heavy and light ones but we
knocked them cold and we threw
them back beyond the railroad
they were using two days ago."
Carroll said.

other direction" the New Yorker
said, "call you later
The staff officers poured over
maps and swatted fleas as they
awaited another call from Carroll
on the outcome of the second Ger
man counterattack. Outside in the
wreckage of a village the soldiers
were rounding up collaborators
and German troopers who had
changed to civilian clothes.
1.-THE Germans have gotten
plenty of assistance from the civil
ian population around here" said
1t. Col. William Breckenridge.
"A German trooper just doesn't
look right in civvies and you can
spot them every time,' added
Major Wilfred H. Haughey Of Bay

While the second call from Car
roll still had not come, 1t. Col.
James R. Johnson, Tazewell, Va,

on some bullseye shooting by his
gun crews firing beyond the en-
battled doughboys.
"They had plenty Of batteries
firing on us at one time but they
haven't as many now" he said.
The commanding Colonel related
how the Americans finally crossed
the Moselle after bucking heavy
enemy fire.
After, we got over our boys had

House Unit 10 Study
Rubber From Shrubs

AS safeguard against a rubber
shortage in any future war, a House
agriculture subcommittee plans an
extensive survey of the possibilities
of natural rubber production in this
country.
Representative Poage, Democrat,
of Texas, chairman of the group,
said yesterday he had been instruct
ed by the full committee to look
into the raising of the Russian dan
delion, goldenrod and guayule
shrubs in the United States.
I'VE want to determine once and
for all" Mr.. Poage said, "how much
rubber this country can expect from
these plants, so that we will never
again be caught in rubber squeeze
like the one we faced when this war
started. We don't ever want to find
ourselves dependent on foreign
sources as we were then"
Guayule, a desert shrub, now
covers about $4,000 acres in Califor-
mia, while other test plots have been
planted in New Mexico, Texas and
Arizona. Agriculture Department
experts said they had drawn a
good average return" from these
paintings. Experiments also are be-
ing made on the Russian dandelion
and gOlden-rod.
