In most Of the smaller territories,

out that all unmarried women

The see-saW tank fight for the

Near Dieuze, Is miles northeast of
Nancy, six German tank and in

Despite rain, the Sd Army gained

through to the Rhine in matter
of days. He believes that our fail
ure to do so was due. first and fore
most and perhaps entirely, to the
fact that our air forces could not
operate at the critical moment when
we punctured the second belt of the
Siegfried Line near Stolberg.
Due to the bad weather, the Ger
mans were able to move troops at
will and what they moved onto our
front was an excellent division. The
arrival Of that division prevented
us from breaking through quickly.
1t is obvious that our troops had
gotten far ahead of their supplies
during their dash across Belgium.
and it follows that they were not in
position to deal with we'll organ
lied opposition. They got across
Belgium and through the Siegfried
Line AS they did only because the
German 84th Corps, which was sup
posed to defend the Siegfried Line,
had been wiped out in the Mons
pocket. Despite their supplies. they
could have continued to the Rhine
If they could have maintained their
momentum. At least that is one
opinion.
When the weather let us down
and the Germans were able to throw
in good troops against us. we lost
out, although those precious days
when the Germans were wide open
are gone forever.
AS for our airborne divisions. it
is obvious that they had nothing to
do with our getting to the Rhine or
not getting to the Rhine after our
break through near Stolberg. in the
opinion of the above per-
son.
Before the airborne operation in
Holland took place, it seemed fairly
clear that something drastic had to
be done in that area. II the British
were ever to invade Germany from
Holland, it was necessary for them
to do so with a secure left flank
In order to secure their flank, it
was necessary to deal with approx
imately 100000 Germans, who re-
manned in Holland and that, OBJ
viously, was the purpose of the air.
borne operation.
There may have been other rea-
sons for cleaning up Holland. Our
desire to free the two great ports
of Antwerp and Rotterdam for our
use certainly influenced Gen. Eisen-
hover and the others who planned
the operation.
In any case, this is no time for
recrimination and If the blame is
to be placed, place it on the weather.

Prejudice on Hiring
Persons With Crime
Records Waning

Prejudice against hiring persons
with criminal records is disappear
ing as the result of the wartime
demand for manpower, and proba-
ton authorities are hopeful that this
development will be helpful in the
future, Henry J. Chandler. director
of the Administrative Office of the
United States Courts, today told the
annual Conference of Senior Circuit
Judges, which opened at the Su-
preme Court with Chief Justice
Stone presiding.
employers are willing to consider
such persons on their merits, par
ticularly when recommended by
probation officer Mr. Chandler re-
ported, adding that 1t is hoped the
favorable results of this policy will
greatly lessen the difficulty of help
ing persons on probation and parole
to find employment in the years
after the war" Many OF the pro-
bationers do excellent work. he
said.
Director Chandler said a crime
increase is to be expected in the
postwar period, because several mil
lion men will be returning to civil
life. and for the added reason that
nervous and emotional disturb
'ances resulting from experiences in
the war are inevitable
"On the credit side, however" he
continued, lis the fact that persons
deemed morally unfit have been ex-
cluded from the armed services.
Many returning veterans have a
heightened sense of the value of
order and security. They will be a
stabilizing force
The director believes also that
probation officers will be aided bv
their war experience and will gain
an understanding "of the sensibil-
tiles OF their comrades in the war
which should help greatly toward
1udicious treatment of those who
become offenders"
"All in all there is ground for
serious thought. but not for alarm
in the prospect in reference to crime
after the war" he concluded.
In the past fiscal year. Mr.. Chand-
ler reported. there was a slight in
crease in the number of civil cases
flled. due to the growth in Gov
ernment litigation. notably in the
field of price control and ration
ing New cases totaled 38.499
Criminal actions jumped from 36,-
588 to 39,62l. war offenses being re-
sponsible principally for the growth
There were 6.798 civil cases started
