1t. Gen. Patton. in q stirring
tribute to the troops of his Third
Army. said his men had nothing
but victory in their record.
In New Years order of the
day dated Dec. 81. Gen Patton
said:
From the bloody corridor of
Avranches to Brest, thence
across France to the Saar, over
the Saar into Germany and
now on to Bastogne, your rec
ord has been one of continuous
victory"
Battling in what German broad
casts have called an about drive,
thousands of Yank troops and
tanks we're locked in bitter fight
ing with the Germans around
Bastogne.
WOULD SHUT SALIENT
The evident strategy of Gen.
Eisenhower and Allied leaders in
the field is to Join north and
south forces along the Arlon-Liege
road and thus break the back of
the shrinking German salient.
To harden the offensive from
the south, famed Third Army
troops, under 1t. Gen. Patton,
fought into places as much as
four miles east and II miles west
of Bastogne. apparently the
pivotal jumping off spot for the
American drive. The NaZi cor
ridor north of Bastogne was under
American artillery fire.
AT its deepest penetration into
the underbelly of the German
bulge. Patton's tanks and troops
carved out a corridor eight miles
wide.
YIELD, NAZI ADMIT
German broadcasts admitted
Nazi troops in the Bastogne Sec
tor had yielded to massed ar
mored forces" of the ThirdaArmy,
but claimed the Americans had
failed to achieve the desired
break-through 10 Houffalize." The
Germans reported that about
eight American divisions were
masSed for action west Of Bas-
togne.

DAMAGE ADMITTED

The Washington announcement
merely said that the raid had
taken place. The japanese an
nouncement from imperial head
quarters was transmitted by the
Domei agency and reported by
the FEC.
The japanese communique ad-
mltted d m age to important
enemy industrial plants at Nagoya
and Hamamatsu by ''incendiary
bombs. " The enemy claimed that
II B-29s were shot down and D
damaged. The Japs usually make
such false claims.
FIRST I945 BLOW
Today's attack was the first
major blow against the japanese
homeland in the new year. The
last big attack against the Japs
was carried out a week ago when
a medium force of Saipan-based
B-29s scored at least Il bomb hits
on the sprawling Musashima
plant.
Another Japanese report said
about 10 B-29s" had raided
southern Mindanao in the Philip
pines Saturday.

Located on the first floor OF City

there to be used in an emergency.
Lots of heartache and other kinds
of aches would be saved if that
policy were followed in other &C
tivities-a margin of time, of goods,
of morale. Think of the calamities
that befall those who squander all
their money-nothing saved to tide
them over the unexpected expense;
of the dead and mutilated on your
highways because there was not
enough space left to turn in before
the coming car crashed headon-no
margin of safety.
In the realm of character it is
equally disastrous. In the critical
hour when temptation doomed
large; when deep encouragement
held forth, there being no deposit
of religious training, no excess
of honesty, integrity, nothing worth
while to draw on. the inevitable
happened. You can't prepare for
a crisis when it's on, you can only
meet it. You can't gather honey
in the winter, you can only use
what you have garnered when the
flowers were in bloom. You can't
take another boat il the last one
is gone.
There is a tide in the affairs
Of men
When taken at the flood leads on
to fortune;
Omitted all the voyage of their
life
Is bound in shadows and in mis-
cries"

The City and County have agreed
to place the New Hanover bureau
of Identification under the super
vision of the office of Sheriff e..
David Jones, eliminating the pos
sibilitv of the fingerprint bureau
becoming City department, 1t
was revealed yesterday by Addison
Hewlett, chairman OF Board OF
County Commissioners.
.0This action will not change the
financial status or place OF loca-
ton of the bureau, but probably
will REQUIRE an amendment to- the
present legislation, MIR. Hewlett
explained.
The a mic b lie agreement
reached on the identification bu-
reau's future operation was the
first settlement of two legislative
issues that have reached contro.
versial stages between the City and
County governments. The County
had objected to the proposal to
bring the office headed by Supt.
Harry E. Fales under City admin
istration.
At the direction Of the City Coun.
Gil and Board of County commits
sioners last July, the bureau Of
Identification was placed under the
supervision of the County chairman
and Mayor for this fiscal year.
The law had provided that Fales'
department be responsible jointly
to the City and County govern
