 With U. s. Forces on Western Front, Dec. 28.-(UP)-American Army officials announced today that Nazi SS guardSmen shot down in cold blood a United States lieuten- ant and four Doughboys captured west of Bastogne and then stomped their faces with hobnailed boots.
 Disclosing another authenticated case of the Germans murdering their prisoners, authorities said the report had been verified, and tailed with the announced policy of the eS elite guard in this campaign.
 The only survivor of the ruthless slaughter was wounded badly, but managed to crawl a tortunsD mile and a half to the American lines.
 The six-man patrol was sur- rounded and forced to surrender on the night of Dec. IT in the area west of Bastogne, Belgian trans port center where an American force was encircled and now has been relieved.
 The survivor was marked for death With ms companions aICer tneir Ger man captors had questioned them perfunctorily. A hall of bullets rFumpled them to the ground.
 Riddied with bullets, the survivor played dead while the Germans ground their hobnails Into the faces Of the Americans and kicked them mercilessly. He told his story through bleeding and purple lips while doctors worked over him.
 Choking back cries of pain the Oouehboy waited until the 0er- mans had finiahed their gory task and left. Then he dragged 1iis punetured and battered body back Eo friendly territory.
