Dear Miss Wakefield:

Dear Miss Wakefield:
My problem seems to be so simple
and yet when / try to fathom what
to do about solving it, I'm at q
complete loss.
1t all started harmlessly and never
did dream that anything like this
would develop.
You see, I'm married to a serv-
iceman. My husband has been
overseas for the past three years,
and now I've received word that he
Is on his way home. But that isn't
my problem. YOu see while he was
away I met another man. In fact
We got to be quite good friends and
have kept steady company for the
last year.
told him that 1 was married and
that my husband was overseas. It
didn't seem to matter at all to him
and / didn't see at the time how
it could make any difference any
way.
When I finally told Pete chats
his name) that my husband was
coming home he seemed to take it
for granted that / would ask for a
divorce. I had never meant that
our affair should 60 this far, be-
cause / love my husband dearly and
although 1 only thought of Pete
with the affection given a very good
friend he afforded me happiness
during this last year.
Pete thinks that I love him and
that / will get a divorce and marry
him. How can / make him under
stand that / never really cared for
him and that 1 want to stay with
my husband and make him happy?
MRS. T. ]. X.
Dear Mrs. T. j. K.
You've certainly gotten yourself
into a messy kettle of fish. Your
real problem is not with Pete, the
man you've chased around with this
past year. but with your own hus-
band who has been fighting war
overseas.
AS for Pete, you'd better call off
that Illicit affair post haste. You'll
have to make him understand by
telling him the truth; that you've
just been using him as sucker bait
to satisfy your own selfish desires.
Tell him you didn't have the moral
strength to go it alone these months
while your own dear husband was
away. Tell him you have no faith
full love for him, but it is just I'M
faithfulness toward your own mate.
Nothing more will be necessary
He'll understand you're not the girl
for him and will surely go quietly
out of your life.
Then, Mrs. T. j. K, your troubles
will really begin. For soon, you will
come face to face with the man
who has been counting the months,
days, hours till he could hold you
in his arms again. There's nothing
much can tell you that will ease
the hurt that will be his when he
finds out how untrue you have
been. Yes, he will find out; they
always do. If you don't have the

.Nozis Push
 Fifth Back

Rome, Feb. IS - (U.P.) - Ger man pressure in the Ligurian coast al area forced the withdrawal of Fifth Army tropS from positions on the southern slope of Mount Can- ala, headquarters said today.
 The positions were ones which the fifth had held prior to it's recent push which was thrown back with no net gains.
 There were clashes with German infiltration parties in several other areas of the coastal sector.
 While patrol clashes continued along other sections, American planes and artillery bombed and shelled several enemy installations north of Bologna. Considerable smoke was observed in the target area.
 The Germans attempted a break through at the the right flank in the vicinity of Monte Calderaro but were driven back by mortar fire. An- other enemy group was driven from the northwest slope of FrasSineto by machine gun fire.
 Several clashes occurred and one enemy patrol was captured near Monte Cere southeast of Bologna.
 The Eighth Army front in the Adriatic coastal sector remained quiet but northeast of Cotignola, l3 miles northwest of Faenza, patrols clashed with enemy units. To the southwest, mortars, tank guns and machine guns engaged German working parties along the Senio river,

Von Riper Irritoted

Trenton, N. J., Feb. l6-(UP)- The fued between Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City Attorney General Walter D. Van Riper who fles been investigating gambling charges in Hague's north Jersey stronghold was pointed up today by indictment of Van Riper on federal black marketing charges. Van Riper charged that Hague inspired the in- dictments.
 Van Riper, a Republican appointee was indicted as an individual and as head of the Imperial Serv Sta tions, Inc, owner of a gasoline sta- ton at west Orange which l. under lease to John Phaml, Orange. The attorney general is charged with permitting the corporation a n d Pramy to have unlawful possession of inventory coupons, stolen cou- pons, and counterfeit coupons and sale of gasoline at 90 to 60 cents gallon.
 Van Riper also $ under federal grand jury investigation at Newark for allegedly "kiting" checks in his personal bank account.
 Tn a letter to Ha ue, released to the press, Van Riper charged that the Jersey city mayor "has directed all the resources of his organization and his association with the federal administration to delve Alto every phase of my priva life in an en- deavor to distract me from the per- formance of my official duties"
 Hague is vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

 Numerous DOgfights
 Numerous dogfig IS probably sWirled over Tokyo, but the carrier planes were attacking in such force that they were expected to win and maintain temporary aerial suprem' acy over the capital.
 Admiral Chester w. NimitZ, com- mander of the Pacific fleet, an- nounced the raid in a jubilant com. munique from his advance head quarters on Guam, 1900 miles south east of Tokyo.
 It marked the second time that American planes have taken off from carriers to bomb Tokyo. On April 18, 1942, the then It. Col James Dolittle led force of 16 twin engined Mitchell bombers off the carrier Hornet for the first raid in history on Tokyo. the worlds third largest city.
 But on that occasion, the planes all were Army bonbers and took off while the Hornet still was 800 miles from the shores of Japan. Today, MitScher's carriers are standing 3OO miles or less from Tokyo itself.
 In between the two carrier-based raids, American Army Superfort' resses had taken over the assault on the enemy homeland. They have hit Tokyo in strength eight times since last November and only yes- terday bombed the Mitsubisni air. craft factory at Nagoya. 160 miles west of Tokyo, without loss.
 Despite the bold American. chal- lenge, there appeared little prospect that the Japanse fleet would come out to fight. More likely, naval ex- perts said, such warships as were In and around Tokyo Bay would head for open sea in an effort to get out

Thy seized high ground inside the Siegfried line about mile south east of Cruchten, eight miles north west of Echternach against heavy rifle and machine gun fire.
 Sharp but local fighting also flared up on the Saar sector of the U. s. Seventh Army front where the 44th Infantry division drove forward more than mile on e i've mile line to recapture Rimling. eight miles east of Sarreguemines. The action was regarded primarily as a line-straightening operation, however.

 "As long as I could see it the Japs made no effort to take any body off or to pick up any of the prisoners in the water.
 "The only ones I know of who got away were the four who later joined me.
 "A life boat from the torpedoes ship drifted to us and we climbed in. There were Robert s. Overbeck of Baltimore (then a civilian but now a second lieutenant in the army); M-Sgt.

 The waves of planes attacking Tokyo may have caught a major portion of the surviving Japanese fleet in Tokyo Bay, either at the big port of Yokohama or in the Yokosuka naval base, 10 and 20 miles respectively south of the ca pital.
 Japanese imperial headquarters reported that the planes bombed the Tokyo area from a. m. to 4 D. m. G p. m. Thursday to 3 a. m. today, ewt) in waves, concentrating mainly on airfields.
 Supplementary enemy broadcasts said the raids extended from To- kyo along the Boso Peninsula, on which Yokohama and Yokosuka are situated, into adjacent Shizucka prefecture. At least four main formations participated, with two of them comprising 300 planes each, Tokyo said.
 Tokyo said military installations" Possibly including the Yokosuka naval base itself-and transport fla cilitieS were attacked on the Boso Peninsula.
 The enemy Domei Agency said the airfields attacked were those from which Japanese fighters have been taking off to intercept BPS superfortresses. Several dozen air. fields altogether surround Tokyo. It was believed likely that the carrier planes also bombed enemy aircraft factories and other install lationS.
 We can see what the enemy is aiming at-namely the destruction of our air force," one Japanese broadcast said.
 The first bombers appeared over the Tokyo area about 8. m. in two waves of 300 planes each, the ene- my account said. One attacked until g a. m., the second until S:3O a. III. A third wave struck from 12:3O D. m. to ,l:30 p. m., and a fourth followed, finally breaking off the attack at 4 D m, 1t was said
 The simultaneous attacks under the command of Admiral Raymond A. Spruance. commander of the fifth fleet, represented the most daring foray in the history of the American Navy. as well as a defiant challenge to the Japanese fleet to come out and fight in it's home waters.
 In the armada attacking Tokyo was the greatest carrier force the world ever has seen, plus fast bat tleships, cruisers and destroyers. II includes most of the 20 combat car riers known to be in commission.

 South of Pillar the Americans were pushing into rugged, mountainous terrain only 16 miles from the south ern tip of the peninsula and about l8 miles from Corregidor.
 Corregidor, guarding the entrance to Manila Bay, was rocking contin- uously to the blast of American bombs in a nonstop bombardment that clearly pointed to an imminent amphibious attack on the island.
 A force of B-24 LiberatorS heaped another 112 tons of bombs on the Rock Fortress Wednesday without drawing an answering shot from the islands gun batteries. Headquar ters observers warned, however, that "The Rock is not likely to be an "eaSy mark" for an American land- ing, since the Japanese are well en- trenched there and probably have plenty of big guns emplaced deep in the island caves, out of reach Of our bombs.
 Swarms of American attack planes were supporting the drive down Ba- taan, Barrelling overhead in front of the advancing ground troops to bomb and strafe the fleeing Jap anese at will.
 Inside Manila, however, the ad- vance was going ahead more slowly, with the heaviest fighting centered around Fort Mckinley. on the southeastern outskirts of the city, and on the eastern and southern approaches to the old walled city on the Manila waterfront.
 The Japanese in both pockets were being whittled down steadily, but they were fighting hard and ruthlessly, burning everything ln the wake of their retreat and slaughtering Filipino civilians inside their lines. One strong enemy group barricaded themselves inside the Philippine general hospital while the Tanks closed in from three sides firing cautiously to avoid injury to a number of Americans believed to be in the building.
 Captured Japanese documents re- vealed that the enemy had been tricked completely by the American landing at Lingayen Gulf, no miles north of Manila. apparently having expected the main attack to come in the Batangas area to the south.
