Warns Against
 Phony Jap Peace

Adm. William F. Halsey, com- mander of the U. s. Third Fleet. was quoted in an NEG broadcast from the western Pacific today as warming the American people to be on guard against a "phony" Japanese offer of a compromise peace.
 NEG correspondent John Cooper, in a pooled broadcast from one O.: the warships in Halsey's fleet, said the admiral believed Japan's mili- tary and industrial leaders now real- ize that defeat is inevitable and may soon try to negotiate a peace that would permit them to prepare for another war.
 '"The only thing we have to be afraid of is any wekening on the part of some Americans which might let them listen to such an offer" :" Halsey was quoted as saying.

"But he didn't. Wait'I I see him. I'll dunk his head in the oil stump.
 David's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Almeric Bourabnnais, were too hap py at his safety to think much about the other boy, they said.
 BourbannaiS, who received shrap- mel wounds in his back at the bat tie of Tarawa, was releaced from a Long Beach naval hospital to aid the search.
 q just had to sit nere and wait, mostly" he said, because of my injuries"
 Frantic Week
 "It was a frantic week." said his mother. Mrs. Bourbonnais, with David and two other children, Elaine, 2, and James, 10, have been residing in the Los Cerritos trailer camp, a housing area for Navy families and workers at nearby navy projects, while her husband awaited an operation at the navy hospital.
 David said he couldn't remember much about his ordeal after the first few days.
 T slept most of the time," he said. And when I'd hear someone walking by, I'd pound and kick on the door hoping they'd hear me. None of them did until that man found me"
 Neighbors thought his cries were those of child being chastized until Robert w. Brooks, resident of a nearby trailer, traced them to the tiny storage compartment where he found David who was shivering in only pair of light weight coveralls in the chill, damp trunk.
 He got enough oxy ln through cracks around the two foot-square trunk door to keep alive, and drank the rain drops seeping through the openings.
 Healthy Body
 But it was his own healthy body which made it possible for him to survive, physicians said.
 "Tm glad we always kept nm overfed," Mrs. Bourbonnais ex- claimed.
 Juvenile authorities said they were questioning all the children in the trailer camp and adjacent housing project. but that so lar they had not found the playmate who locked David in the trunk.
 David's father said he felt the boy must have intended to return and release Davld, but forgot.
 He's probably scared to tell any, body, now" he said.

 Patton's forces were fighting 1n the worst weather of the European invasion. Snow and rain fell along most of the front and low, cold ground haze prevented air support and limited visibility to mile or less.
 Enemy Confused
 United Press War Correspondent Robert Richards reported from the Third Army front that Patton's armor now was advancing at such speed southeast of Metz that it has disorganized and prevented a coun- ter-attack which had been planned carefully by German panzer groups.
 German artillery now opposing the Third Army is horse-drawn, Richards said, and the enemy often has been forced to withdraw his guns long before the Americans act- ually were upon them in order to escape.
 ''The enemy's situation apparently again is becoming slightly confused Richards said.
 Along the entire Third Army front from Luxembourg to the Chateau Salins area, 1,211 prisoners were cap- tured yesterday. Marshal Johannes Blaskowitz, formerly in charge of the German armies in southern France, was said to have been shift ed to command Nazi forces facing the Third Army.
 Farther south, the American Seventh Army made small advances west of St. Die and east of Bruyeres capturing four villages. The remainder of the front was quiet.
