 Then the committeeman jumped on him. Rep. Brent Spence of Ken lucky. the chairman, said he didn't like the idea of appointing a spe- cial OPA-man for houses. Rep. Paul Brown of Georgia said what we need is more lumber and fewer lawns.
 Rep. Patman said yes. but when people pay S16.000 for 5000 houses and builders cheat 'em all over the lot, good czar is the only answer. The czar even could subsidize the lumber mills, he said

 By Genera! George C. Marshall
Biennioi Report of the Chief Of Sto of the U Army Io43 to I94s, 10 the Secretary of Wor

ed General Eisenhower, was the widespread disillusionment ensu- ing from the failure to seize any really important objective and the realization that this offensive for which every effort had been brought to bear and on which such great hopes were pinned, had in no sense achieved anything de- cisive."
 In mid January the Second British Army launched an attack in the Sittard area and within a fortnight reached the Roer Valley, 10 miles inside the Reich. Re- grouping of the Allied armies for further offensive action proceeded during January.
 In an effort to divert the pun ish,ng blows from his forces with drawing from the Ardennes, the enemy attacked in the Bavarian Palatinate. Here there was ground to give, and the U. s. Seventh Army withdrew to the Maginot defenseS west of the Rhine. per- hitting the detachment of divi- sions for the heavy fighting in the Bulge.
 Closing the Rhine
 On 20 January the First French Army launched an attack in the southern Alsace to destroy the eneinys forces in the Colmar poe ket and clear the west bank of the Rhine. The operation involved a drive through Colmar by the Am erican XXI Corps, commanded by Maj Gen. F. w. Milburl, and si- multaneouS attacks by forces of the First French Army under Gen. eral de Tassigny from the Null house area. The climax of the battle was night assault on the bridgehead town of Neuf -BriSach by infantry of the U. s. 3rd Divi- sion using assault boats and scaling ladders on the meats and walls Of the fortified town, very much after the fashion of medieAal battles. After this aggressive action, the German position in the Alsace rap idly deteriorater and by February the Allies held loosely defended line along the west bank of the Rhine from StraSbourg to the Swiss border, freeing troops for use in other sectors. The. offensive in the AlSace cost the Germans more than 25,000 men.
 pocket and the seizure of the Roer
 The reduction of the Colmar River dams to the north in the vicinity of Schmidt were both nec- essary preludes to clearing the enemy from the west bank of the Rhine and a full-scale drive into the heart of Germany The U. s. First Army now attacked toward Schmidt while the Third Army threw its weight against the Se!g- fried Line in the Prum- -Trier area. By 10 February the First Army had obtained control of the Erft and the Schwammenauel dams, and the following day had cleared the entire west bank of the Roer. Although failing to prevent the flooding of the Roer Valley, this action forced the Germans to re- lease the waters at time when our operations would not be en- dangered, thus removing the most serious threat to General Eisen- hower's plan for the invasion of northern Germany.

Housing Czar Proposal Batted Around by SoLons


 Things are tough for everybody but Kermit, who won't be reading this anyhow. So we come automatic ally to Congress, now trying to get roofs over the heads of the voters before the voters turn you-know- who into the cold. The outlook is bleak.
 FavOrs Housing Czar
 First scheme before the Banking committee was that of Rep. Wright Patman of Texas to appoint a hous- ing czar, who'd make the builders build small houses instead of $100, ,- 900 night clubs.
 The youngish-looking Patman with pinkish second chin and a well-tailored suit, did all right with his prepared statement until he got to a pesky word, spelled c-e-r-a- m-i--c-s. He couldn't pronounce it; this, he said, was because he got it out of book and was unfamiliar with 1t. Ceramics, MT. Congress

Second Term At Junior College Set
 New Haven School
 Offers New Courses
 For Returning Vets

The New Haven Y. M. c. A. Jun for College, in order to meet the needs of veterans who have returned to civilian life since the opening of the school year, will offer beginning courses during the second term which commences on January 2.
 The need for this deviation from normal schedule became apparent when 5l veterans applied for admis- sion to the College between October 8 and November g. By the time the January term commences, 100 vet- erans are expected to be awaiting admission.
 Instead of deferring the entrance of these students until April, at which time beginning courses are o1- fered ordinarily, or of starting these veterans in second term classes, the College administration decided to offer seven first term courses, en- abIing veterans to enter programs in business, engineering, or manage ment. These special offerings 1n- clude three courses in mathematics two in English, one in accounting and one in industrial organization and management. Three of these are pre-college courses designed to fa- cilitate the entrance of students n- to standard college divisions.
 Although this special opening IS being scheduled primarily for vet eranS, other registrations will be ac- cepted until December 10. Students who are interested in beginning in January should write the College, l5 Prospect Street, New Haven, Con- necticut, or telephone 7-3131, Ex- tension 532, for an appointment be- fore December 10. Entrance exam nations will be give non the eVe- nings of December Il and 13.

Washington. Dec. B. UP) -M My old friend, Kermit the hermit. is the only American still ignoring the housing shortage. He takes his ease in a cave in the Hollywood Hills, reads philosophical books, and hob nobs with the movie cuties who sometimes ride his way.
 Lack Of caves has left everybody else in a mess. If you've got house, you're plagued by involuntary guests. If you're homeless, you take desperate steps.
 One gent set up a tent in front of Los Angeles Biltmore Hotel, which had turned him down. A wild-eyed high school teacher in up- state New York moved his wife into the classroom apartment where feminine students learned the art of bed-making.

Father 7in1n1inS M Broadcast Tonight
 Editor of Catholic Transcript Joins Alcoholics
 Anonymous Program Over NTIC at 7;30

Rev. James P. Timmins, editor Of The Catholic Transcript. and pastor of St. Bridget's parish in Manches- ter, will give his endorsement to the Alcoholics Anonymous organization over WTTC tonight (Wed) at 7:30 D. m. in the second of a series of programs designed to prove that there is hope for the alcoholic. His interest in A began two years ago when he saw "hopeless" drunk put on the road to reason and a new life through the A plan. Since that time, Father Timmins has recom- mended the A to men and women from all walks of life and from all religious faiths who have come to him with tragic stories of deSpond- ericy, despair, and misery caused by alcohol. Two men who were directed to the organization by Father Tim mins will also be on the program.
 The three ex-alcoholics who will give their actual case histories are members of the Manchester A or- ganization, and they will use the names of Edna Mac" and Phil"
 Edna" who once begged to be committed to the insane asylum so that she could get away from alco- hol, first heard of A over WTTC last February After having been drunk for a week, she got on bus and arrived in Hartford still under the influence of alcohol, with sole resources of one bus token and a dime. She telephoned the AA organ i5ation and hasn't had drink since that time.
 Phil" was a periodic drinker, and on the program he will tell how he tried to cure his addiction by eating a pound of chocolates every day. It wasn't successful cure, and "Phil' describes his drinking bouts as "a horrible nightmare" He will tell how he was finally persuaded to call Father Timmins, who recom- mended the A.
 "Mac," who was a destructive drunk, describes alcoholics as the living dead" and he also will tell about his many futile attempts to give up alcohol. Finally, in order to get his wife to give him one more

 TURN OF THE TIDE
 The tide of battle began to turn when the U. s. Third Army brought its full weight to bear on the southern flank of the' salient where General Patton stopped the advance of the German columns with available reserves and was attacking on a two-corps front oy 9 December with the III and XII Corps. This shift from an of- fensive across the Saar to gen. eral attack ln southern Luxem- bourg was a brilliant military &C., compNshment, including corps and army staff work of the highest order. Elements of the 5th Divi- sion which were fighting in the Saar bridgehead on the morning of 20 December moved 69 miles, and were in contact with the ene- my north Of the Sauer River by nightfall
 General Qevers 9th Army Group was required to assume re- sponsibtlity for the entire front from Saarbrucken south, adding over 25 miles to it's already ex- tended front. In order to defend this front adequately, full use was made in the Seventh Army of the infantry regiments of three divi- sions which were just arriving in the theater from the United States in advance of their division head quarters and supporting troops.
 The weather. ceased to favor the enemy between 23 and 26 Decem- ber. permitting our overwhelming tactical air forces to strike terrific blows at the German armor and supply columns On 26 December the 4th Armored Division relieved encircled Bastogne. The crisis had passed, for by this time the Ger man salient was being assaulted from the north, west and south. At the points of extreme penetration, the enemy had driven more than 50 miles into the American lines but he was unable to shake loose our valient units fighting desper- ately to hold the critical shoulders of the bulge. The depth of his ad- vance was accordingly limited and it was possible to interdict by ar tillery fire all the important supply roads for the leading troops at the tip of the salient.
 Bulge Fatal to Enemy
 The reduction of the Ardennes salient involved our First and Third Armies in heavy fighting under severe winter conditions, but pro- gress was steady and by the end of January the bulge was elimina- ted at a cost which later proved fatal to the enemy. In the single day of 9 January, the air force de- stroyed more than 4,l92 pieces of heavy equipment. including loco motives, rail cars, tanks, and motor and horSe-drawn vehicles.
 The Germans gained an initial tactical success and imposed a de- lay of about six weeks on the main Allied offensive in the north, but failed to seize their primary objec. tives of Liege and Namur. They lost 220,000 mer, including 10000 prisoners, and more than 1,40o tanks and assault guns. The opera ton was carried out by the Fifth and Sixth Panzer Armies supported by the Seventh Army, thus strip ping the Reich of all strategic re- serves and seriously depicting the resources required to meet the powerful Soviet offensive in Janu- ary.
