Stimson denied that the army is
oversize, noting that there are
100000 men who are injured or
sick in army hospitals, who must
be kept on a troop status until
everything possible has been done
for them.
He said that the effective size
of the army must be kept up 10

maintaining a full force grows ds
the war gains in intensity.
He also cited the fact that
$4,000 troops are being regularly
relieved and cannot be counted as
effective since they are on leave

The Calmay River, one to two

beachheads, and only formidable
water barrier north of the Agno,
was forced in the early hours of
the invasion along a broad front.
Despite the initial lack of re-
sistance, however, the Japanese
feverishly were rushing up troops,
armor and supplies from southern
Luzon under a deadly barrage of
bombs. shells and bullets from
American carrier and land-based
planes.
Whole columns of vehicles were
blasted into flaming wreckage
and at least three of the onemy's
main bridges north of Manila
were knocked out. American air
craft roamed the skies unchal-
lenged.
Organized and bitter resistance,
bad weather or other such factors

maximum of $35 for veterans with
three dependents--the figure origi-

Kilgore-Murray bill.
BREAK FOR VETS
international News Service
learned that the bill would elimi-
nate the authority now given the
veterans administrator to dis
qualify ex-servicemen from jobless
benefits for leaving suitable work
without good cause
The length of time man must
have served in the armed forces
to be eligible for 50 weeks of
unemployment compensation also
would be reduced by the measure.
9O-DAY SERVICE
AS the law now stands. a vet
eran must have served nine and
one-half months to be eligible for
jobless benefits. The proposed
measure. il was learned, will slash
this to go days.
The proposed measure would
bring unemployment compensa-
ton for former GIS under uniform
federal regulation. Under the
present law, the regulations are
left 20 the states.
The legislation is expected TO be
the opening move IN a drive 10 re-
vive the main features of the
Murray-Kilgore bill which was
smothered by the last Congress.

tacking the hush hush" foreign

demanding reaffirnation Of At
lanUc Charter principles, Senator
Nandenberg (R) Of Michigan TO-
Gay proposed a plan 10 halt Soviet
AGRA G izem ent and lay
the groundwork for postwar peace
and Allied unity.
TO meet the claim Of Russia
that her oXpanSioniSt moves in
Europe were due TO fear of a
future German attack. Nanden-

dent, regardless of how the Dunn

develops. Nandenberg added
TEMPORARY PACTS
Repeatedly urging honest cam
dor from the President regarding
foreign policy, Vandenberg de-
manded that unilateral decisions
made in the face of military need
should be considered temporary
and subject TO final revision by
any postwar peace organization.
He continued:
I'VE need honest candor even

mote suggestion OF appease-

REASON UNDERPLAYED

Because BritonS are rightly
proud of the brilliant, contro-
verSial and personally spectacular
Montgomery the British press
certainly underplayed the reason
for the shifting of the American
forces north of the Ardennes
salient TO his, command.
They leftfhe impression that
American eeheralship had failed,
and-so Menty had TO take over.
For instance, the Daily Mail said
in a banner line that "Montgom-
cry Foresaw Attack" and added
that che took command several
days before this was confirmed in
highest quarters" and asserted
his leadership.

Of counterthruSts Dec. Is and the

TANKS CLEARING CITY

The smashing German setback
came as AXIS resistance inside the
capital showed signs of cracking
up for the first time since Soviet
troops StorTned into the city more
than two weeks ago.
Riding roughshod over the Nazi
street barricades, Russian tanks
and rifemen cleared the enemy
from another 1000 blocks,
rounded up more than 1900 ex-
hausted Germans and HungarianS
and established control of the
greater part of Pest, on the east
bank of the Danube.

PSYCHIC DECISION

From SHAEF where Eisen-
hover rules came an order 10
send the 10lst Division to Bas-
togne. From Bradley came what
has been called the psychic"
decision 10 send the Seventh
Armored Division 10 hold ST. With
and keep the enemy spearheads
separated
Montgomery began 10 look TO
his rear and took excellent pre-
cautions to protect the Meuse
River, which rings the Ardennes
like moat He brought up
troops, reconnoitered the Meuse
bridges in the American lines, and
guaranteed that the river line
would hold.
But TO the British press which
thinks Monty foresaw the attack
any more than Eisenhower or
Bradley. il should be pointed out
that the marshal was able TO take
his measures so adequately be-
cause he was preparing for some
thing else that had nothing TO do
with the ArdenneS when Won
RundStedt struck.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1945-01-12

Marshal Montgomery had his
say, Gen. Bradley followed suit,
and now with Gen. Eisenhower
side of Il brought out, the entire
picture emerges in clear focus.
The three worked smoothly and
effectively in the crisis. Each saw
his Job, and did il.
''Eisenhower's Allied team
never worked better" said a
high British officer who cannot
be quoted by name.
BUSY WITH WAR
Being busy with the war and
king Allied teamwork for
granted, SHAEF, from Eisenhower
down, neglected the public by not
announcing the command changes
or even the simple reason that
made them inevitable-the split
ting Of the Allied front that put
the First and Ninth armies out
of the reach of Bradley.
Now it can be said officially
that SHAEF is taking steps to
make certain that so-called secur-
ity in the future does not lead 10
serious political assures.
The test of this new policy will
be the handling of the situation
when the commands of Montgom-
cry and Bradley are readjusted,
giving the First Army back TO the
chief of the Twelfth Army Group.

ON BRADLEY'S ORDER

AS the flanks held, Gen. Patton
rushed an army from the Saar
through Luxembourg and Belgium
on Bradley's order.
BY Dec. 10, Bfadley no longer
had any land communication with
Gen. Hodges of the First Army.
But Bradley was IN touch with
Eisenhower. OF Montgomery's
moving in at the instant decision
of all concerned, il can be revealed
that a senior staff officer at
SHAEF said he udied up the
northern battlefield in II hours
a bit Of high praise. He stabilized
the northern flank while prepar-
ING tho attack now crushing the
salient.
Meanwhile Bradley's decisions
were paying off at ST. With, and
on Dec. p Patton made gains
along a 25-mile stretch of the
southern flank.

"Ill get you started just as

There is a possibility that the
japanese may declare Manila an
open city as Macarthur did in
December, 194l. but it appears
remote at the moment
Even should the Japanese issue
an ope n city declaration, the
American command might tind it

the American gesture in 1871.
