FDR Backs Bank PIon

 The United States should act promptly upon the plan for the in- ternational bank, which will make or guarantee sound loans for the foreign currency requirements of important reconstruction and de- velopment projects in member coun- tries," he said.
 The international Stabilization fund plan contemplate 5000, ,000,- 900 fund $2,000, 100000 of it would be put up by the United States. No new money would need to be appropriated, however, since. the treasury has that much in its present Stabilizatlon fund and could simply transfer 1t to the interna. tional fund.
 The bank would be set up with $0,- 100,000,000 capital. The United States would subscribe $3,175 ,000,- 900 of 1t. Legislation is needed to permit this country's subscription of the bank capital and to author ize Its participation in the stabiliz- ation fund.
 MT. Roosevelt also told congress that other economic measures will have to be dealt with in the near future. He cited the reduction of trade barriers by international agree ment; repeal of the Johnson Act which prohibits loans to foreign countries that are in default on their debts; control of cartels and the orderly marketing of world sliT- pluses; revision of the export-import bank set-up, and broadening and strengthening of the trade agree mentS act.
 There has been considerable op- position to the bank and fund both in this country and in Great Bri- tain, especially from such sources as the American Bankers Association. A heated battle was expected in con gress over MT. Roosevelt's request for enabling legislation.

 of the city, small groups of enemy troops, some of them equipped with mortars and artillery, were holed up behind street barricades and in ruined buildings under heavy at- tack from all sides.
 The First Cavalry forced the Pa- sig river in amphibious tanks early Saturday morning, crossing just be- yond the capitals eastern outskirts. Advancing rapidly southward, the Americans reached Nielsen Airfield mile southeast of the city limits and just north of Fort Mckinley.
 A few hours later, second arm- ored spearhead crossed the r;ver a half-mile to the west, near the San- ta Ana race track quickly mopped up Japanese resistance in the area and pushed westward to join up with the 37th.
 The 37th Divisions advanced spearheads already were more than mile south of the Pasig at some points and their right wing was re- ported moving against the main Japanese strongpoint behind the massive stone walls of the intra- muros on the waterfront.
 Elements of the U. s. 11th Air borne Division, meanwhile, were moving up along the shores of Manila Bay into the Japanese rear. By Saturday night they were re- ported north of Baclaran, two miles south of the city limits and about the same distance southwest of Fort Mckinley.
 Other units of the 11th Airborne were still locked in bloody strug- gle for Nichols Field, five miles south of Manila, where a strong Japanese force had been cut of from the main garrison inside the capital The Americans captured ten eight-inch guns and two SiX-inch guns in the area Saturday after a hard fight.
 Almost 70 miles north of Manila, Spearheads of the Sixth Armored Division were well on their way to cutting Luzon in two with dash overland to the islands east coast. Two columns advanced well beyond Laur and Bongabon and were re- ported 20 miles or less from their objectives Baler and Dingalan Bays.
 Northwest of the capital, other American forces continued their methodical destruction of the Japa- nese units trapped in the foothills of the Zambales Mountains overlook ing Fort Stotsenburg. The Japanese were Well-entrenched in network of rock caves. and the Americans were using airpoWer and artillery to the utmost in order to keep down casualties.
 (Japanese broadcaSts recorded by FCC monitors in New York assert ed that the Americans have lost more than 30000 men in tho month old battle for Luzon, half of them killed, against Japanese losses of $500 killed or wounded. Last week, however, Tokyo placed the American losses at about 200 men)
 The hopelessness of the Japanese position was pointed up by the American air forces complete dom- nation of the battle zone. Strong forces of Liberator bombers hit Cor regidor Island on Friday, and more than 70 attack bombers worked over the southern shores of Bataal pen- insula on the same day, bombing and strafing the enemy without op- position.
 American PIT boats ranged north of Lingayen Gulf to sink 20 coastal craft near San Fernando and La Union.

1t is suggested, do not regard us as entirely security minded. In the first year or so of our participation in the war the Russians wouldn't tell us anything. That situation be- ! gan to improve after the Teeran conference.
 The American attitude apparently has been that any reasonable ef- fort should be made to reassure a good ally. Some time ago 1t was proposed that an Anglo Russian American military committee be es- abolished in Moscow. The Rus sians accepted in principle but the committee was not immediately or ganized. It Is understood that Soviet Union oficials were willing to work with Maj. Gen. John R. Deane, chief of the American military mission.
 But they objected to the head of the British mission, on grounds un- stated here. It had been hinted to London that he should be supplant- ed by some other individual.
 Phil Ault of the London bureau of the United Press reported on Feb. 8 that the big three conference was believed to have plan for n Anglo Russian American military board to oversee final details of Germany's military defeat.
 If, as has been reported here. the big three has decided instead to make Russia member of the combined chiefs of staff that is pretty obvious notice to the world that Germany is expected to fold in few short weeks.
 Barring the early collapse of Ger many which would enable Russia to turn her full attention toward the Japanese. it is believed Stalin would not desire actual membership on the chiefs of staff here. Even if Germany folded tomorrow months would be required for Russia to reverse the direction of her war machine to bear on the Japanese.
 During the turn around Russia's Asiatlc area and, especially, her Pacific maritime provinces would be vulnerable to Japanese attack. Whether Japan would interpret Russian participation in the staff set-up here as a hostile act is, of course, question only Tokyo can answer.
 There have been appeals from several nations for membership on the combined chiefs of staff The Dutch and French were insistent at one time. Our officials have felt that a two-nation set-up of that kind worked best, that with three or more member nations the con- bined chiefs might become more of a debating society than an ac- tion group.
 There also was fear that with three-nation organization there would be tendency for any two of the participants to gang up on the other to force military decisions. As it is now the chiefs bang the the table and speak their minds vigorously but wind up, usually, with unanimous plans for licking the Germans and the Japanese.
 Adm. William D. Leahy, chief of staff to the President, is senior American member of the combined stan. The senior British member is Gen. Sir Henry Maitland Wilson.

when one arm of KoneV's break. through forces wheeled southward ir a scytile-like sweep west of the capital from the area of captured LiegnitZ.
 Earlier Russian reports said the Germans held 15-mile wide escape corridor westward out of Breslau between the Soviet held villages of Kanth and Kurtsch.
 A Pravda dispatch said an early thaw caused the Oder to rise several feet, flooding wide area of Konev'S theater. The high waters carried heavy blocks of ice which knocked down bridges and pontoon crossings
 Konev's vanguards, by Soviet ac- counts, were only little more than 30 miles from Dresden, whose cap- ture would anchor the Red Army's southern flank for frontal assault on Berlin. Nazi reports placed them even closer - "A miles east of Dres- den and 62 miles west of Breslau
 Black Out
 The Berlin front was blacked out for security reasons, but Russian forces northeast of the threatened capital toppled Deutsch Krone, one of the main strongholds on the ap- breaches to the big Baltic port of Stettin, 62 miles to the west
 Konev's powerful drive north of Breslau gave the Russians their sec ond and by far the largest an- nounced bridgehead across the Oder River Germany's primary defense line in the east.
 Striking across the Oder at Stei- nau, 140 miles southeast of Berlin and 60 miles northwest of BreSlau, the First Ukrainian Army in four days:
 1.-Cut four of Breslau's main communications links with Berlin and Central Germany, leaving the garrison only three circuitous rail- way escape lines and two highways.
 2.-Captured the industrial center of Liegnitz, a 12-way railway and highway center B miles west of Breslau, and more than 800 other Silesian cities, towns and villages.
 3.-Drove to within two miles southeast of Berlin and the main supply center for the last German bridgehead on the west bank of the Oder below the capital.
 The Germans threw huge forces of tanks and infantry into battle in . futile attempt to stem the Soviet onslaught, the most dangerous pe- netration of the Reich yet made by the First Ukrainian Army.
 The encirclement of BreSlau was brought to it's final stage with the capture of Kanth, 10 miles south- west of Breslau. Other First Army forces were at Kurtsch, IS miles southeast of Kanth and 12 miles south of Breslau.
 The Nazi garrison of Breslau was fighting desperately to slave off final defeat under orders to re- sist to the last man. The Soviet drive, however. already had cut railways running from Breslau to Berlin and to the industrial city of Waldenburg in the Sudeten rnoun- tains, a highway to Frankfurt Oder and a uper-highway to Ber- lin.
 The enemy is being subjected to unremitting blows from Soviet mo- bile tank formations and infantry and is suffering enormous losses" the Soviet high command reported in its midnight communique. "In one day alone So German tanks. 70 armored troop carriers and 120

 The $30,O00 issue of sewer bonds would be retired as follows: fifteen annual installments of $2O,0OO.
 The sewage system bonds of $1 100000 would be scheduled for retirement in this manner: $30,0O0 for the first five years; $80,000 an- nually for the next five years; $20,- 900 for the next four years; $142,- 900 in the last year.

 Front reports on the battle for the Roer dams said units of the American First Army held the north ern side of the main Schwammaneul dam with German troops still firmly dug in on the opposite side. Both armies held the dam under rife. and artillery fire and huge crater half way across the top cauSeway thus far had prevented an American crossing.

New York, Feb. 12.-UP)-The Army already knows whether Frank is going to be soldier and some time today, on train heading for Hollywood, the crooner should get the word.
 Sinatra's New Jersey draft boar expected an Army medical report on him today. They gave him per- mission to go to California to ap- pear in his weekly radio show and clean up his affairs, if necessary.
 The 118-pound candidate for a khaki uniform deniedm yesterday that he already knew how he stood with induction officials. He still carried a draft card classifying him 4F as a result of punctured ear drum-a defect revealed by an earlier examination.
 If the Army doesn't take me-" Sinatra said before he boarded a west-bound train, "I'll probably get there sooner. I'm going overseas. He planned to make a USO tour if the Army turned him down.
