Accused Youths
Given Freedom
For Christmas

Five colored boys from 13 to II
years old believed by police to be
members of purse-snat tching gang
that has been operating in the
Northwest section for several
months were arrested yesterday but
were returned to their homes "for
Christmas"
1t. William T. Murphy, head of
the Police Juvenile Bureau, said the
boys are believed to have stolen at
least 40 women's purses containing
approximately $1,000. He said the
case was cleared up when a "13-
year-old vagabond" was picked up
Friday in the Northwest section
and revealed the identity of his
companions.
The boys are suspected of having
stolen six pocketbooks in an apart
ment at 2101 New Hampshire ave-
nue. NV, where Maj. Edward J.
Kelly, superintendent of police, lives,
police reported.
The gang usually operated singly,
meeting to divide the loot, it was
revealed 1t. Murphy said because

emily bad and can be Strengthened

their homes in time for Christmas,

north of Libramont, and % miles
southeast of Namur.
A front dispatch said that by
Friday morning the Germans also
had cut highway northeast of
Hotton, miles northeast of Marche
and % miles south of Liege. Heavy
fighting was reported between Hot
ton and Soy, 3 miles to the north
east.
Headquarters said there was con-
siderable enemy pressure south of
Marche on the highway to Laroche,
but there was no indication of a
continued retreat of American
troops.
The extent of the American coun-
terattacks north Of Arlon and
Mersch was not given, but it ap-
peared to be in the nature of a
large-scale operation, and front dis
patches said vapor trails of the sup
porting aircraft ranging the frosty
skies were as thick as plough fur

Base Of Salient Widened.
At the southeastern end of the
enemy's offensive bulge there was
no change in the situation. The
Americans still hold a stable line
In the Echternach sector, although
the Germans have widened the
base of their salient to Diekirch. 5
miles southwest of Ecrternach.
A dispatch from this area said the
American relief drive from the
south, if 1t makes any major ad-
vance, will menace the entire south
ern German flank. 1t said that al
though the war was a swift and
fluid one an early end of the war is
possible if Gen. Omar N. Bradley S
men can meet ana checkmate the
daring German thrusts.
Concentrations of enemy armor on
the northern flank in the Malmedy-
Stavelot area occurred after tank
tipped German attacks had been re-
pulsed east of Malmedy in the Fay
knoxville and Bullange areas as well
as in the Monschau region.
The Germans apparently are still
hoping to break through this flank
and reach the American supply

front. The hopes are becoming as

rationing, contending that spotty
distribution and shortages-actual
and potential-warranted such a
move.
VIA, which has jurisdiction as
to which commodities are rationed,
rejected the proposal each time it
was submitted. The dispute was
climaxed last month when OPA ap-
pealed to Sterilization Director Fred
M. Vinson, asking that he act as
arbitrator.
His decision, it was said, supports
the OPA virtually 100 per cent.
WAS arguments were that while
some commodities are in short sup
ply, there are substitutes available
in each case. In view of this, the
agency said, there should be as
little rationing as possible in order
to avert large food surpluses at the
end OF the war in Europe.
OPA's position was that, to pro-
vide for equitable distribution, prod
ducts should go back on the ration
list as soon as they become unavail-
| able in parts Of the country. It
argued that supplies of most point
free meat, particularly pork, have
! been extremely short since mid
summer.
OPA acknowledged that canned
vegetables were in good supply, but
said stocks were moving too rapidly,
indicating a shortage before the
start of the new pack year next
summer
One consideration, which appar-
emily tipped the scale in OPA's
favor, is the prospect that the war
in Europe may be drawn out as a
result of the German counteroffen-
sive. This would make it necessary
to ship more food to the armed
forces than was first calculated, and
at the same time reduce the like
lihood of an early home-front sur
plus.
Another factor contributing to
the decision was said to be WAS
latest estimate that the spring pig
crop will be 2 per cent under last
years, while the agency had called
on farmers for per cent increase.
The impending change will restore
point values to practically all utility
grades of beef and lamb the cheaper
cuts of pork, and probably to all
grades of veal. The top grades of

Nazi Radio Claims

LONDON, Dec. %. - German
broadcasts today trumpeted claims
that" Gen. Eisenhower had been
forced to drain manpower from his
entire western front In an effort to
halt Field Marshal Karl Won Rund-
stedt's offensive in the north.
While asserting that weakened
American forces were retreating to
the south, the tone Of the Berlin
broadcasts indicated Nazi propa-
gandists might be getting ready to
disclose the offensive had been
slowed or even halted.
One commentator after another
spoke of fierce battles" and of
throwing back repeated counter
attacks" The high commands COM
munique was headed by a paragraph
saying Our troops warded off
strong enemy relief attacks up to IA
times" in the Stavelot area.
THE American 3rd Army contin-
ued to evacuate its Saar bridgeheads
because Gen. Patton had to move
his forces to threatened areas on
the northern sector of the vast
'front.'" Transocean News Agency
said. German troops are hotly
pursuing the retreating Americans"
Withdrawal Claimed.
A later Transocean broadcast
claimed 1t. Gen. Alexander M.
Patchs 7th Army started to evac-
uate number of pillboxes on the
Alsace-Palatinate border" yesterday
Berlin claimed "the Americans
have withdrawn large numbers of
troops from the Aachen sector"
Both the NaZi radio and the Ger
man communique emphasized a
claim that the long surrounded gar
rison at st. Nazaire, on the coast
of the Bay of Biscay, had opened
an attack and occupied 80 square
kilometers 80 square miles of ter

attacking in a south-north direc-
ton, but in vain. The next few
days undoubtedly will see increased
attempts on the part of Gen. Eisen-
hover to transform his improvised
defense into a methodical counter
attack or counter offensive"
Fierce Fighting Admitted.
German commentators generally
claimed the fiercest fighting was
around Stavelot, on Marshal Won
Rundstedt's northern flank. Capt.
Sertorius reporting that Allied tank
attacks ARE carried out with sui
cidal tenacity."
The German communiQue said
that on both sides Of the Ourthe
River German forces were pursuing
dislodged American units.
Far to the south, the Germans
claimed the recapture of Dillingen,
on the Saar River, and announced
repeated crossings of the Saar in
Gen. Patton's territory.
The Nazis resorted to an old
trick of the 1910 blitzkrieg days,
oroadcasting what it claimed was a
report from Belgian radio, urg-
ing citizens to evacuate number of
cities. including the industrial CEN
