Couple Injured
When AirpIane
Hits Oil Derrick

Mr.. and Mrs. A. G. Webb. ranch
ers living seven miles northwest of
Brawley, were in a critical condition
in a Brawley hospital Friday from
injuries suffered in an airplane
crash three miles south of BraWley
late Thursday.
One wing of duck-herding plane
in which they were travelling struck
the top of a 135-foot oil derrick,
overturned and crashed into the
water in a reservoir or sump near
by. Workmen at the Amarado COM
pany derrick assisted in getting the
injured couple out of the wreckage
CT the plane. ..
Their physician said they were in
critical condition. suffering from
multiple injuries. Penicillin was
rushed to them shortly before noon
Friday.
j. R. Brakefield, owner of the
crashed plane, said he talked to
Webb after the accident and Webb
told him he saw some ducks near
the oil derrick and went to get them.
The crew at the derrick said the
plane had circled the area several
times before the crash. Webb, en-
ploye of the Carberry busting COM
pany, had been assisting Brakefield
in herding ducks by plane, driving
them from the fields to Salton sea
to prevent them from destroying
crops. Webb was understood to have
completed an afternoon run and
gone to his ranch to get his wife.
The accident occurred after they
left the ranch, presumably headed
back to the airfield in Brawley.

Russians Stop
Nazi anks in
Danube Battles

MOSCOW, Jan. 5. (UP)-Out-
numbered Russian troops Friday
fought off a powerful German tank
army striking down from the DAN
ube against their siege lines around
Budapest, where tens of thousands
OF Nazis were being cut to pieces
in the bloodiest street battle of the
war.
Going all-Cut in their attempt to
rescue the trapped Budapest garri-
son, the Germans hurled wave upon
wave of armor and infantry against
the Soviet defenseS some 80 miles
northwest of the capital in their
first big counter offensive in the
eastern front in more than year
ONSLAUGHT HALTED
The German Cnslaught, after
gaining as much as six miles along
the south bank of the Danube Tues
day and Wednesday. broke against
stubborn Russian resistance Thurs
day and field dispatches said the
Nazis had been halted all along the
attack front.
Elements of six Nazi tank divi-
sions and many infantry divisions
spearheaded the assault and both
sides were reported pouring REIN
fcrcements into the battle Friday.
Thousands of Germans were
killed in the fighting at an undis-
closed point southeast of Komarno
Thursday and Soviet ground and air
forces destroyed almost 100 Nazi
tanks.
SLAUGHTER CONTINUES
Inside Budapest, meanwhile, Red
army forces carried into the 18th
straight day their battle of ami
hilation AGAINST the survivors of
some 10000 Axis troops originally
left in the city.
After nine desperate sorties that
were thrown back with bloody losses,
the garrison appeared to have aban-
doned its attempts to break out of
the capital and was digging in for
a last-ditch stand in the two main
citadels.

Americans Hail
Demise Of
Two.DoIIar Bill

Once again Americans can flash
their rolls" when they cross the
border into Mexico, and now the
"unlucky" So bill can hide out.
From now on currency in denomi-
nations of $40 and under may be
taken across the border. Restrictions
still apply to $50 bills and on up.
Announcement Thursday in the
Imperial Valley Press and in Fri
days Morning Post that currency
restrictions had been lifted at the
border was the signal for loud huz-
zas from those who found the money
changing business quite irking, and
by the same token money changers
are looking for new green fields.
The three-year 'drouth" ended
when the government decided. there
was no more danger of smuggling
currency looted by the Axis from
subjugated countries through the
Mexico channel.
And sc the reign Cf the 'shin
plasters" is ended.
Residents of the Imperial and
Mexicali valleys declared the lifting
of the ban will put crimp" in
the money changing business which
was declared to have reached an al
most big business status since the
reign of the So bill. The lifting of
restrictions also is expected to boost
trade along the United States
Mexican border.
The necessity of changing all
money into silver or 50 bills was
considered a nuisance by many per-
sons. 1t did not bother others, how
ever, because it was possible to
change money into So bills in sew
eral places along the border.
Customs officials warned the pub
lie Friday that the lifting of re-
strictions does not mean that there
will be any lessening of the strict
censorship against articles, mer-
chandise, documents and papers be-
ing carried back and forth across
the international boundary.

STATESMEN LOST PEACE
"Ihe warriors of World war No.
l cid not lose the war;" he declared,
''but the statesmen lost the peace
and We have another war on our
hands as a result"
He backed up his demand that
the fighting men write the peace
by pointing out that the American
Legion has potential membership
of between forty and fifty million
men and women. a block of votes
