Sens. Carl A. Hatch of New Mex ico and Edwin c. Johnston, of Colorado and two Republicans, minority whip Kenneth s. Wherry of Nebraska and George D. Aiken, of Vermont, came prompt endorse ment of Ferguson's plan.
 Reserving his support with only one condition-'"That nothing be done which would in any way dis turb or affect our present war ef- fort'-Hatch said:
 T am extremely anxious to have all the facts and circumstances surrounding the disaster at Pearl Harbor made available and with full publicity concerning them With that thought in mind I shall support the resolution for Sena- torial investigation"
 If there is any need for the in- vestigation to go beyond the mili- tary situation" Wherry said, "and it lookr like there might be, this is the one way to get it. Now that the election is over it seems to me that in all human decency to Adm. Kimmel and Gen. Short (Pearl Harbor commanders when the Jap anese struck, this Pearl Harbor mystery should be terminated one way or the other"
 Johnson, declaring that he would like first to have a look at reports on the recently completed Army and Navy investigations, said that if they do not reveal the true" facts, Senate investigation should be authorized"

Low Price Shoes Gut Market

Boston, Nov. q = (U.P0 - Shoe rationing has resulted in an "un- balance supply" and at least 15,0O0,- 900 pairs of low-price leather shoes for which the public is unwilling to give up ration stamps are crowding retailers shelves and manufactur- CTS warehouses, Maxwell Field, sec- retary of the New England Shoe and Leather Association, said today.
 Field revealed that the New Eng land shoe industry expected the Office of Price Administration to release shoes manufactured to re- tail at less than $4 from rationlng within two months. He refused to term the situation "glut." It was unbalanced supply" he said, due to public reluctance to sepnd ration stamps for shoes not likely to give maximum service.
 The industry, he said, had found that shoes manufactured to retail for less than $5 did not move well under rationing. He pointed out thta the OPA has to date relieved accumulations by removing tempo rarily certain types from rationing on three occasions, mostly women'S shoes retailing at less than $3, fac~ tory damaged shoes, and odd lots.
 Shoe production now is on basis of 300000,000 pairs annually. The industry is making non-rationed shoes of leather substitutes at a rate of 100.000,000 pairs annually.

many with an advance to the vicin- 'ity of Merzig, four miles beyond the French border and A miles northeast of Thionville.
 Dispatches said the American tanks came under heavy artillery fire from Siegfried line batteries.
 Elements of the 3rd Cavalry divi- sion made 8 new crossing of the frnotier from France farter south, andand reached point near Weht11- gen, four miles from the Saar river.
 Patton's 5th and 95th division completed the occupation of Metz with the exception of two small enemy pockets on the Islands of Saulcy and Chambiere, a few hun dred yards west of the Metz Cathe- dral and between the Moselle river and the adjoining canal.
 Doughboys already have seized the lower two-thirds of Chambiere Isle and gradually were squeezing the Germans out of fortified bar racks at northern end. The Amer jeans sent an officer into Cham biere yesterday to demand the islands formal surrender, but the naughty German commander re- turned the envoy without even re- plying.
 SS. Maj. Gen. Anton Dunckern, Gestapo general in command of the Lorraine and the Saar, and Col. Constantine Meyer, Wehrmacht commandant of the city, both were taken prisnoerS.
 It marked the first time in it's g. O00-year history that Metz has been taken by storm. However, the city itself was found little damaged by battle, through its outskirts were in ruins. The famous Metz Cathedral was intact except for one broken window.
 Far to the east, Patton's S0th division captured Faulquemont, 16 miles north of Chateau SalinS, and entered the reversed forts of the Maginot line both there and in the vicinity of Pontpierre, two miles farther east, against surprisingly light resistance.
 The Germans had been expected to make strong stand III the MdHA" not line, but it appeared that the French and American 7th Army breakthrough farther south had changed their minds. The 80th divi- sion at one point was less than eight miles from the German border.
 Troops of hte 26th Yankee" divi- sion captured the fortress town Of Dieuze, 35 miles southeast of Metz, and Hellman, 19 miles northeast of Chateau Salins and Il miles from the border, after gains of one to three miles.
 The double envelopment of Le Thillot in the VoSges was revealed by Gen. Jean De Lattre De Tas- signy, commander of the Trench 1st Army, at a press conference. He said the left wing had reached Lake Longemer, five miles beyond Ger ardmer, en route to the Schlucht Pass, while the southern column had reached the outskirts of Giro magny, northern outpost of the Bel fort ring of fortreSses.

NSOAAOAAAOSA A NAAA A eStSS ~ we are only postponing the day of victory"
 we are keeping the pressure at maximum strength all along the front" Eisenhower said. 'The Ger man has to be hit with everything we've got-and finally the breaking point will come.
 "The pressure must go up, both at home and on the front, and con- tinue to increase so that the high est point is on the day Germany Snrrenders."
 He said he wanted more supplies than he is getting, and T think the soldier wants more than he is get ting, both now and in the future. "
 Eisenhower received 200 corres- pondents at supreme headquarters. He looked fresh and fit, and in his frank and forceful manner made what amounted to an appeal against any feeling that the war is won.
 T am optimistic myself" he said, but hope I can prevent myself from becoming complacent."
 While his appeal for more sup plies fitted in with his appeal 8 day earlier for more ammunition, Eisenhower emphasized that he in- tended absolutely no criticism of the home front but simply wanted the men at the front to have every thing possible to hasten victory for the sake of the men in the trench eS and their relatives at home.
 No Retreat
 He said there was no sign of 8 German retreat to the east side of the Rhine, and offered it as his opinion that any adversary who had concentrated so much of his forces west of great river, when the enemy had air superiority that could destroy its bridges, would find the only sensible course to fight to the bitter end west of it..
 A crossing of the Rhine, he said, would amount almost to a naval operation. He added that the enemy now is regarding the territory he is losing west of the upper Rhine-in France-as of less importance than in German territory in the center where the Ruhr is threatened.
 He paid tribute to the French forces who drove to the upper Rhine, and said it was a most im- portant moral defeat for the enemy -an example of putting failure after failure before the Germans until the people crack despite the pistol of the Nazi Brigands at their backs.
 He recalled that he had said in a war review five weeks ago that aggressive pressure would be main- tained despite the weather, and that is what now is being done.
 "There is a job here for every man fit for battle we can bring in and supply" he said, "and it's up to every man back home to give him everything he needs-that's my prescription for victory" r
 He said there had been nothing since the July attempt on Adolf Hitler's life to show any break ing of Geramn morale. While the Volksturm or peoples army already has shown up in some force on the western front and is composed of poor troops and poor material, it nevertheless is doing right well in prepared defeESeS, which are ample on both sides of the Rhine.

 the great winter offensives that are expected to set the entire 1,500- mile eastern front ablaze in the coming weeks.
 The new offensive,w hic hwas not immediately confirmed in Moscows early morning communi" que, apparently was aimed at wip- ing out 30 German divisions hemmed into a 6,OO0-square mile pocket southeast of the Baltic port of Liepada-tfe last Russian claimed territory still in NaN hands.
 Aerial Attack
 Striking behind a bliStering aer- ial attack that sent waves of hard hitting Stormovik dive-bombers whirling down on the cornered Nazi divisions, the Soviet commanders hurled their armor and infantry against the German perimeter, Ber- | lin said, and won number of 'penetrations" after a bloody, all- day battle. .
 The Germans had been cut off from their main armies in East Prussia since Oct. 10, when Rus sian forces speared through to the Baltic between Lepaja and Memel, and Berlin said the new drive was intended to clear the Soviet flank for a drive into the Prussian pro- vince.
 Al the same time, the Nazis re- ported that tens of thousands ot veteran Russian winter fighters were wheeling into position on the east ern and southern borders of East Prussia and along the Vistula rlVer south of Warsaw.
 Polish underground sources said the Germans were avacuating their sick and wounded from Warsaw and mining and sacking the city, fear ing that another massive Red Army assault on the capital was imminent.
 The Russian communique, how ever. reported only local Skirmlsh1ng on the northern front yesterday 1n the Jelgava area 100 miles southwest of Liepaja and along the Prussian borders. Moscow also claimed the sinking by Soviet flyers of a 6,OO0- ton German transport, two patrol boats and two landing barges in the Baltic Sea.
 On the Hungarian front, Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovsky's Second Uk- rainian Army battered slowly through the long German flank ex- tending 30 miles northeast of Buda- pest to Miskolc, Hungary's fifth city.
 Miskolc was all but encircled by three Russian columns closing on the city from the east, west and south. One spearhead captured Czaba, 1 1-2 miles south of Miskolc, while a second pushed ahead four miles to take Czanalos, seven miles to the northeast, severing the Ger mans direct communication with their forces in eastern Slovakia.
 On the western flank, another So- viet column stormed and captured the big iron center of Diosgyor, one of the major industrial towns in Hungary. The fall of DioSgyor cut the direct highway link between Miskolc and Eger, another German anchor position A miles nearer to Budapest.
 Fierce fighting also ragged on both sides of Eger, where the SovietS cap- tured Ostoros, 1-2 miles southeast of the city, and EgersEalok, ? l-2 miles to the southwest. A third Rus sian column swung up in . wide fianking thrust midway between Eger and Gyongyos, 22 miles to the southwest, crushing live strong Ger-

 mill tax rate. Although this has proven possible it has been accom- plished only by sharpely curtailing the requested appropriation of va rious department.
 Most major departments of the city such as engineering, education. street, Water, police, fire and others have been effected by the pairing down of the originally requested budget appropriation of $6,97O, O,0S5. The 1914 fiscal appropriation was set in amount of $6,497, ,795.
 Reasons for the high original re- quest stemmed mainly from budget needs for the purchase of large amounts of equipment heretofore unavailable under wartime reStric- tions. Although some of this equip ment, as yet, is still unavailable, it was anticipated that there was the possibility of the relaxation of re- strictionS in the event Germany should fall during next year. It was many of such items that were G1kLkl11dbCu 44OAA UAAO 4hAoA HAASSo estimates.
 Plans also had been made for undertaking extensive repairs to streets, buildings, etc, all of which had been sharply curtained by war time restrictions. Many of these projects likewise were curtailed as to possible financing next year.
 The city anticipates heavy expen- ditures for the following year of 1946 in event of adoption of an actuarial plan for pensions and the revision of the city's revaluation of all real and personal property both pro- grams now being processed.
 However, it is expected that the city's grand list will be increased by many millions as result of the revaluation which will mean higher revenues from taxation.
 It would seem from analysis that Waterbury is in a stable financial condition although by no means thoroughly solvent.

 Vice Adrimal John H. Mccain, former deputy chief of Naval oper- ations for air, command the task force which carried out the latest attack. Incomplete reports showed that approximately 100 enemy planes were destroyed on the ground 10 shot down over the target area and eight more downed in abortive attacks on the task force.
 Tokyo said 300 planes participant ed in the attacks and identified the targets as Clark Field, Lipa, Batan- gas and Aparri, all on Luzon Is- land, an addition to Manila itself. Toko also claimed that Japanese plones had sunk two cruisers and set fire to an aircraft carrier and 8 battleship in waters east of the Philippines Sunday and Monday.
 Tarakan
 At Tarakan, MacArthur'S Libera- tors attained excellent results" he reported in 8 communique from his headquarters on Leyte.
 Direct hits on a pumping station and storage facilities touched of explosions that spread fires over the entire area, including tank farm. Tn the harbor, a gunboat, five small freighters and 10 bargaes were set af1re.
 Other southwest Pacific command medium bombers cratered runways and revetments at Davao airf1elds in southern Mindanao in the Philip pines with 30 tons of bombs.
 Elsewhere in the Pacific, a Pearl Harbor communique said, land based bombers and fighters attack ed the tiny phosphate island of Nauru on the equator, Suribachi in the northern KurileS, a phosphate plant on Rota in the Marianas. barges near Kita and Two in the Bonins, Yap airfleld, and other tar- gets.

In Detroit, Mrs. Fanrces Smith, president of the Michigan Telephone Union, said that Ohio affiliates had brought pressure" for a sympathy strike in Michigan to force overall equalization of wages for telephone operators.
 After a heated conference, the Michigan union decided to place the matter before general membership meeting tonight. Mrs. Smith said 1t was almost certain" that Detroit members would vote for a general strike throughout the state.
 In Cleveland, while Mayor Frank Lausche conferred with union and company representatives toward set- clement of the strike, it was reported that Indiana and Illinois locals of the union were considering sym pathy strikes.
 Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Washington, D. C., also were men, toned as potential sympathy strike areas by an Ohio Federation spokeS- man.
 Ernest Weaver, regional director of the National Federation of Tele- phone Workers, an independent union, arrived here yesterday as the Michigan strike threat loomed. He said he intended ito assist in every way to end the strike" before it could spread from Ohio's borders.
 Union leaders hinted that by their defiance of the VILE they hoped to force seizure of the Ohio Bell Tele- phone Company, where policy ot giving out of town employees an $18- a-week cost of living bonus angered veteran employees who could not ob- tain pay raises.
 Union officials said they had sought for two years to adjust this difference to the satisfaction of both local and imported operators.
 Analyzing the effect of the strike on the company's operational Serv- ice, Harold J. Barber, vice president in charge of public relations, said that essential long distance calls still were being handled promptly He said that emergency operators trained for the purpose, were hand ling war-important calls along with those to police and fire departments
 Ninety percent of Ohio's loca. telephone facilities are on the dial system, Barber said, and local Serv- ice was not hampered.

 More than 100 liberators from Gen. Douglas MacArthur's south west Pacific command blasted oil installations and shipping Sunday at Tarakan, Borneo, with 121 tons of explosives. Huge fires were started, sending smoke towering l5,OOO feet. Sixteen small vessels, including barges, were set afire in the harbor.
 At nearby Brunei Bay, also in Borneo, other heavy bomberS SCOT ed direct hits on a destroyer and nearby docks Saturday night. A battleship and a heavy cruiser were damaged by bombs in an attack on Brunei Bay two days earlier.
 Other land-based bombers of the Southwest Pacific and Central Pa- cific commands raided targets rang ing from the northern Kuriles in the north to New Guinea in the south and from the Philippines in the west to the MarShallS in the East.
 The superfortress attack on Kyu- shu served as another warning to the Japanese that their homeland had been marked for destruction from the air as surely as Germany now was being ravaged by Amer ican and British planes from the west and south.
 In addition to the two raids car ried out this month, superfortreSses have made at least six reconnals- sance flights over the Japanese home islands by Tokyo accounts. Radio Tokyo has broadcast frequent warnings that the superfortresses can be expected to increase the weight and frequency of their at tacks at any time.
 Under Air Attack
 Similarly, virtually all of Japans empire in the Pacific now was un- der air attack. Few safe refuges remained for her elusive war fleet. The merchant fleet on which she must reply for flow of raw ma terials to the homeland was being reduced steadily and her air force was being whitfield down past the danger point.
 The carrier based attack on Manila boosted the toll of ships hit in that area alone by carrier planes this month to 28 sunk, three

The MerSeberg plant is one of the three largest synthetic oil works in Europe, and in addition pro- duces chemicals in plant many square miles in area.
 The daylight assaults followed other attacks on Germany during the night by RAF planes. More than 100 Mosquito bombers, carrying two-ton blockbuSters, raided Han hover while a force of four engined Lancaster hit Coblenze. Five planes were lost in the night raids.
 Meantime, reconnaissance reports showed the bombing of fuel plants, the Eighth's No. target, was pay ing dividends. It was announced the large plant at Bottrop, west of Gelsenkirchen, was put out of pro- duction and three others in the northern Ruhr damaged badly.
 The Bottrop plant had maxi mum annual yield of 100000 tons of oil, enough to maintain four ar- mored divisions in the field. Every major building at the plant was wrecked by instrument bombing. The other oil works were at Ster- krade, Bolhen and Scholven.
 Today'S cover over the bombers evidently was put out in anticipa- tion the Luftwaffe would attempt a major defense against the AL lied air blows eating mot the heart against such German targets, an average of 40 bomberS were lost on each mission, while totatl of 765 enemy planes was shot down.

 There was no confirmation of German reports that Malinovsky's left wing directly south and south- east of Budapest had launched a frontal assault on the capital.
 Radio Paris reported, however, that Russian planes were dive bombing German traffic crowding the highway from Budapest to Vien- na, suggesting that the Nazis were evacuating materiel and booty from the beleaguered city.
