Highway Patrol Stops
Arrests For 35-Mile
Speed Limit Violators

RALEIGH, Jan. Rehabilitation
j. T. Armstrong of the North
Carolina Highway Patrol, said to-
night that no arrests for speed
ing are being made by the Patrol
under the 35-mile-an-hour limit
established by former Governor
Broughton under Emergency War
Powers granted by the 1913 Act,
which expired when the 1915 AS
sembly convened.
The States speed limit reverted
to that of so miles an hour fixed
by a former statute. Revival of
the 35-mile an hour limit, along
with other emergency powers Civ
en- the Governor, is expected Mon
day night when the Legislature,
which has passed the Emergency
Powers Act, is expected to for
mally ratify the bill restoring
these powers to the Governor.
But, while State patrolmen are
making no arrest under the 35-
mile an hour speed limit, OPA are
still enforcing this limit in North
Carolina, and violators are sub
ject to disciplinary measures SUCH
as having their gas and tire ra-
tons taken away.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 -(P)-
President Roosevelt closed the
ledger tonight on three full terms
in the White House and, with grin
and quip, got ready for his
fourth Inauguration tomorrow at
noon.
While all was hubbub in the
White House for the momentous
occasion, the President himself
almost had to be disinterested-
his desk as usual piled high with
war problems.
Two weeks short of So years, Mr..
Roosevelt served up his famous
smile, however, as his attitude to-
ward what may be the toughest
four years of all. After all, he said
the first IL years are the hardest.
The war has turned this next
inaugural topsy-turvy. Instead of
big parades and ceremonies at
the capitol, it will be a quiet af-
fair on the porch of the White
House. There will be 5000 guests,
instead of the usual $4,000 or more
spectators. All but a handful will
stand on the lawn.
Even a good part of Mr.. Roose-
velt's immediate family will be I'M
able to get here. He was enroute
in the armed forces and only Ma
rine Col. James Roosevelt seemed
able to get here. He was enrout

indicted into Army labor battal-

Moscow Silent On Actual
Invasion of German
Silesia

LONDON, Saturday, Jan.
90 (UP) The Red Army
yesterday reached the border
of German Silesia 228 miles
southeast of Berlin, captured
the great Polish cities of
LODI, Krakow and Tarnow
and hammered 81 miles inside
East Prussia in one of two
offensives opened on the blaz-
ing Eastern Front.
Adding victory to victory, tn e
Red Army was forging a great
enlightenment of East Prussia, as
it approached within three miles
of the southern frontiers of the
Junker stronghold on a 6O-mile
front. simultaneously, the Red Ar
my opened another new offensive
in southern Poland, driving so
miles forward to within two miles
of the city of Nowy Sacz.
The Red Army's great drive to
the Silesian border 81 miles due
east of Breslau already has out
flanked the big German industrial
cities of Beuthen, Hindenburg and
GleiwitZ.
Berlin said that almost 5000, 1000
Soviet troops were on the march
along twisting 650-mile front
from East Prussia to Czechoslo-
vakia. In one of the greatest days
in the Red Army's history, Mar
shall Josef Stain issued five orders
of the day.
Five Soviet armies, carving out
gains up to 81 miles, seized 2,75O
towns and villages in East Prussia
and Poland and killed thousands
of enemy troops fleeing under the
lashing blows of Soviet planes,
which flew $4,000 sorties in the
last three days, Russian tanks, in
fantry, artillery and cavalry.
Every possible Nazi river and
railroad defense line was being
shattered and Russia's eight-day-
old offensive still was gathering
momentum.
The Moscow radio said: "Catas.
trophe has fallen on the German
armies in Poland. The entire East

Germans now"

Rosario, on the left flank OF

The enemy was entrenched
strongly in the area. One frontline

job would be as difficult as it was
at Peleliu in the Palaus.
To the southeast at Binalonan,
a small japanese tank unit was
destroyed as the Americans tight
ened their grip on the main Ma
nila-Baguio highway, now in Yank
hands at a half dozen places.
Binalonan, where two highways
intersect, was captured by the
Americans last Sunday.
A six-mile advance down t h e

Americans are moving from cap
