 The salesman told me that Q child could run the movie pro- jector. knew I should have bought one that Q man could run. The audience was Q little sur. prised when the first scene showed Q sandy strip with Q camel coming ct them tall first. So was until found out that Instead of Alaska, I was showing my African trip backward.
 When the picture finally start- cd, everyone sat glued to his chair but SlSinnay Ennis. He's 30 thin even the ironbound stickum I use wouldn't hold him in place. ,.,..,
 Most of the scenes were of me walking, me riding, me skiing, and Twas afraid the audience was getting Q little tired. so I showed them scenes of me lying down.

SECTION OF NILA IS
 ABLAzE
Business Section Fired by Trapped Japanese
 Garrison

MANILA, Feb. 6.-The business district of Manila was in flames Monday night as trapped Japanese soldiers put the torch to the Escolita district.
 The Manila Fire Department is doing its best to halt the spread of the flames but there is no water pressure and the firemen are about helpless The Japanese blew up the water pumping stations several days ago.
 The Escolita is Manila's main business street on the north side of the Pasig River. In pre-War days it had such structures as the Heacock Department Store, Hamilton Browns Store and and many other inn posing buildings.
 The trapped Japanese are "tok- en" garrison left in the city and they are fighting with savage futility to break the tightening American cordon. They left fires and ex- plosions behind them as they fell back steadily in the constructing death trap of American doughboys suppored by armor, that is bearing relentlessly down on the enemy.

EXTREMELY HEAVY RAIDS
 HIT NAzIS
Sky-train, 25O Miles Long, Bombs Targets in
 Three Ciiies

LONDON, Feb. = Some 2,200 American planes staged one of the greatest raids of the war on Ger many today attacking Leipzig, Madgeburg and c h m itz, the latter less than 30 miles from the Czechoslovakian border.
 More than 1900 Forrresses and Liberators flew in long sky train, broken into two sections.
 Leipzig is 85 miles southwest of Berlin, where it is possible that the Nazis fleeing the capital have gone. Industrial Chemnitz is 40 miles farther southeast. Madgeburg is TO miles west and south of Berlin. Several other towns in central Germany were also appar- ently hit.
 A preliminary announcement said about $50 Mustangs and Thunder bolts aided the bombers in reach ing the industrial and communica- tions targets. They flew escort on the day raids which were followed by night Mosquito attacks on Berlin, where delayed action bombs were planted during Saturdays huge Fortress raid. They are still exploding.

FC( klloeaiions Given Report; Many Changes
 In Present Standards
Bu C. E. BUTTERFIELD

NEW YORK, Feb 6.-On the face of the Federal Communications Commission report on air alloca- tions, those advocates of postwar television based on present stand- ards rather than a switch to higher frequencies have won a point, at least in the early stages.
 On the other hand, frequency mcdulation didn't fare so well. It is to be moved to higher frequencies
 BuA on top of these develop ments, the walkie-talkie of the war is to he given a chance to do a peacetime job, railroad radio gets recognition as another new service So does the rural radio telephone for isolated communities.
 Tentative Ailocations
 These, it would seem, are the ba- sic high spots in the preliminary report of the EGG just announced as tentatively allocating radio ser vices in the spectrum from 25,00O ot 3O,00O,0O0 kilocycles, or 25 to 5000 megacycles.
 In pointing out that the report is not final, with a further hearing set for February IA for oral arguments or objections, the commission stress es that most of the proposed allo- cations cannot be made until equip- ment and manpower are available for the necessary mechanical shifts. Thus it labels them a "preview of Americas postwar radio spectrum.
 It was the television situation that had created the most attention prl- marily due to the position taken by the Columbia Broadcosting System which last spring started advocating high definition and full color pie lures on higher frequencies, where the required wider bands would be available before full public intro duction. The aother side, which in cluded the National Broadcasting Company, insisted television was ready to go."
 Compromise Reached
 Tn settling this question, at least for now, the commission did make some changes, yet gave certain recognition to the CBS position. It assigned six .television channels, be- tween A to 84 megacycles, moving the lower side of the band back to it's former position. and cutting off the upper end Present assignments range from 50 to 108 megacycles.
 Six other channels are provided in the space from 180 to 216 mega cycles. This, it was explained, gives television the same six channels it has had below 225 megacycles, but does reduce the grand total from l8 to 12 within that range. Each chan mel is six megacycles wide.
 To ultra high frequency assign ments, the commission assigned 480

 It was the first concrete disclos- ure in Allied quarters that they are in session. Citrine made the state ment at the opening session of the British Trades Union Congress.
 A French telegraph agency said the leaders were comforting at -Sochi Q port on the Black Sea, 20 miles above the border of Stalins home province of Georgia.

LIBERATION OF MANILA
 PROCLAIMED
MaeArthur Issues Staie. meni-Strike for Kill
 Is Now Underway
By c. YATES MCDANIEL CAP War CoryespondenD

MANILA, Feb 6-Manila, Am erica's bright jewel of the Orient, is reconquered.
 Gen. Douglas MacArthur official ly proclaimed liberation of Manila as three Yank columns from north, south and east, struck for the kill against any Japanese left in the city.
 Macarthur said: Complete de- struction" of the enemy is immin- ent and freedom has come to 800 prisoners of war, including 55 civilian internees at the filthy torture -chambered Bilibid peniten- tiary. They were liberated from the vermin-infested prison by the Thirty Seventh Division of Yanks and this made a total of about $500 when added to the others who were liberated at Santo Tomas by the First Cavalry Division.
 It is asserted m any American prisoners, capable of still doing manual labor, have been sent by ship to toll or torture in Japan
 Japan is our final goal" Gen. MacArthur said in a statement of ficially announcing the reconquest of Manila, the city the Japanese occupied on January 2, 1942, after it was proclaimed an "open city"
 The doom of any lingering Nip poneSe was sealed when the Eleventh Airborne Division of the Eighth Army which earlier seized Tagaytay Ridge by paratroop &C., tion, rolled 35 miles, entering Ma nila from the south.
 The First Cavalry made the first entry Saturday night from the east and was followed by the Thirty Seventh from the north.
 The wording of MacAIthi4''s statement is interpreted as a bid for continuing command of the campaign against Japan proper and a move to spike the rumors that the Philippines will be the end of the road. The liberation proclamation made it clear that a lightning cleanup is to be expected.
 Johnny Doughboy has thus won Manila back just 28 days after the landing on Lingayen Gulf and 6J days after the original landing on Leyte.

SPEEDING DRIVER
 KILLS PET SpANIEl

Yesterday evening at 5:30 o'clock a truck speeding up Star Hill, above Kennedy Street, struck and killed the pet golden cocker spaniel dog, "Fuddie-Duddie" of MT. and Mrs. Ed ward Peyton. The Peytons had been building a fence this past week to keep the dog off the street, but that fence is of no use now.
 The driver admitted he did not see the dog, and many people on the hill wonder why just dogs and not children, playing on the street, are not run down and killed too.
 Mrs. Peyton urges drivers not to speed up the hill it may be child instead of a dog.

February 3, 1945 Governor o. Max Gardner,
 Shelby, North Carolina,
 Dear Governor:
 We were talking last week about Henry Wallace And since you as an old friend have been so patient and generous in defending me in the past. I thought I owed you a further explanation of my ideas on Henry Wallace.
 We were remarking that Wallace was politically inept. He has been presiding over the Senate for four long years. Usually when a Senator or anyone close to the Senate comes up for confirmation for an admin istrative appointment, he IS con- firmed by exclamation, regardless of his political views, regardless o1 committee hearings, and regardless of research into his past.
 The Senate would have confirmed Jack Garner for the dual job ol Loan Administrator and Secretary of Commerce without any heslta- tion whatsoever. Also Charlie Curtis though neither was banker nOl businessman. They were skilled however, at poker and smokefilled- room politics, and they would have been confirmed.
 Henry Wallace, on the other hand, has hardly made more thar half a dozen close friends in foul years of presiding over the Senate He has no private refrigerator. He does not even smoke. When Sen ators dropped in to see him he was timid and shy and talked about foreign affairs and preclusive buy ing or seed corn. He just lacked the aptitude for winning close friends and influencing Senators.
 Woodrow Wilson and Wallace
 But sometimes I wonder whether in the broader sense Wallace hasn't been a very smart politician. For while lacking friends in the Senate he has won millions throughout the nation. AS you remarked, his devo- tion to principle, his austerity his inability to compromise is so much like another great man the Senate rebuffed-Woodrow Wilson.
 As the world looks back on Woodrow Wilson's fight over the League of Nations, it is generally recognized that that battle was the turning point toward new war And what I am afraid of is that the current Senate fight over Henry Wallace Gin which. he has already lost more than 50 per cent

LONDON, Feb. = The Berlin radio declared the Russian troops have thrown three bridgeheads across the Oder River, last natural barrier east of Berlin.
 At the same time, the Nazi com mand announced the loss of Stei- nau, 40 miles southeast of the Reich capital. to Soviet troops flashing out in new offensive in Silesia.
 This afternoons broadcast from Berlin said Red Army Marshal Zhukov's men established two more bridgeheads south of Frankfurt in the frontal assault on Berlin. The crossing, 35 miles northeast of Berlin in the area northwest of Kustrin, was announced earlier. ,
 The Berlin radio said one of the latest crossings was at F'ursten- berg, on the Oder's west bank, IA miles southeast of Frankfurt and AT miles southeast of Berlin.
 Third Crossing
 Soviet units won the third bridgehead about three miles south of Furstenberg.
 The German broadcast declared "a temporary" crossing was made between Frankfurt and Kustrin on line 38 to 40 miles from Berlin, but this crossing was wiped out.
 Meanwhile, Red Army siege guns battered the Germans across the smoke-shrouded Oder River on a 73-mile front.
 The Moscow dispatches today in- dicated important news" might soon be announced from that sector.
 The Moscow radio has kept silent for days on the activities of Mar shal Konev's First Ukranian Army in Silesia, but Berlin told of heavy attacks and push from Steinau, 32 miles northwest of Breslau, carrying flanking threats both to Breslau and Berlin.
 Not Confirmed
 The Moscow broadcast pointed out that the new bridgeheads across the Oder River to the north also outflanked Frankfurt and Kus- trin. However, Moscow has not of ficially confirmed the establishment of the bridgeheads,
 Russian troops captured Zellin. 32 miles from Berlin on the Oder banks northwest of Kustrin, and seized Damyorst, suburb of Frank furt, further to the. south.
 The glow of battle is plainly visible in the Reich capital, pris- oners told the Russians.
