German breakfasts reported sew

The Third Army broke across the
Sure river and reached the out

east Of Bastogne, broadening the
base of the relief corridor to the
city and threatening to outflang
German forces attacking that life
line from the east.
Another force broadened the cor

driving up to positions northwest
of Sainlex. three and a half miles
northwest of Sure and five and a

Third ran into tough resistance

SOCIAL SECURITY VS..
BUREAUCRACY

The Wagner Murray -Dingell bill,
broadening social security to provide
not only old-age pensions and unem-
ployment benefits but also hospitali-
zation and medical attention, is arous-
ing some right powerful opposition.
Though supported by the American
Federation of Labor, with the convic-
tion that such law will be of immeas-
urable benefit to wage earners and
to the nation, the first gun was fired
against it by physicians, in the belief
that it would deprive members of the
medical profession of some of their
prerogatives. The American Medical
Association has not openly opposed 1t
but physicians have been organized and
solicited for funds to defeat this bill.
AS a matter of fact, and this had
been proved in other countries, where
such a plan has been in operation for
years, members of the profession real
ly benefit by it's operation, because it
provides many of them with incomes
not otherwise available. And it also

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

1t is truly world news, of concern
and interest in many nations, that the
American maritime industry, though
beset with serious shortages of ex-
perienced seamen and officers to man
its merchant ships supplying all bat
tlefronts, cleared it's decks at an in
dustry-wide conference in Washing
ton, and agreed on program which
will help solve it's manpower prob
lens.
Edward Macauley, War Shipping
Administration deputy administrator,
in summing up the conference between
unions, ship operator association rep
resentatives, and officials of Army
Transportation Service, Navy, Coast
Guard, War Manpower Commission,
Selective Service and immigration
and Naturalization Service, reported
the proposals which received general
Endorsement by the conference were:
Extension of union and operator Of
flee hours when necessary, particular
ly during the holiday season; freer
exchange of information as to man.
power resources between unions, COM
panies and the VISA Recruitment and
Manning Organization; agreement by
unions and operators to provide ma
chinery for settling "beefs" immedi-
ately upon termination of the voyage;
full publicity on contribution of the
merchant marine to the war.
Macauley emphasized to the con-
erence the necessity for closer COOP
Grafton and coordination. "Unless ship
operating companies and unions CO.
operate and coordinate their activities
more closely, we may have serious
difficulties in manning American flag
vessels during the holiday season." he
declared
The deputy administrator pointed to
the fact that the experience seamen
in active merchant service should be
given more credit for the splendid
