Inauguration To Be Brief
By MERRIMAN SMITH

Washington, Jan. l9 -- (U.P0 --- The White House today was like tine office of ticket broker intimate ly involved with Broadway hit.
 Almost everybody who works in .he executive mansion was being bombarded with last minute re- quests for tickets to President Roosevelts fourth inauguration to- morrow.
 Judging by the invariable response to these requests, the president Is surrounded by no-men and no-wo- men.
 They turned down literally thou sands of ticket bids. This years in- auguration, unlike the gaudy affairs of the past, Is going to be as simple and brief as possible,
 MT. Roosevelt feels that this is no time for costly spectacle that would draw swarms of spectators to the capital and further strain al- ready overburdeneded war transpor- tation facilities. So only about 1000 persons received invitations to stand in the back yard of the White House and watch the ceremony.
 The plans call for simple swear ing-in ceremony on the south por- tlco of the White House, starting at noon Saturday and lasting no more than l5 or 20 minutes. The President will try to keep his iraurgural ad- dress to 800 words.

 Tn an exclusive interview pub lLshed i'll the New Bedford stan dard Times, Admiral Yarnell also was quoted as predicting:
 That 1t may take six months to year to defeat Germany.
 That before the war k over, the Germans may fire rocket bombs from submarines at some of the larger coastal cities. These bomb- ings would be of little value to the enemy" he said. They should, however, arouse the home front"

 Retired for the third time last Monday after AS years naval service, the 69-year-old admiral was inter. viewed at his Newport. R. l., home.
 Rated as one of the best informed authorities on Japan. the admiral commended tEe present strategy of U. s. forces 'island-hopping" in the Pacific as "a necessary and lm- portant requirement. in our eventual plan to lay Japan low"
 "Island-hoppine is necessary be- cause we've got to have bases be- hind the lines" Admiral Yarnell was quoted. we've got to get the Philippines and we've got to get to China. Manila Bay will be a boon for us. There is no possibility of taking a fleet up to the door of Japan now.

By LISLE SHOEMAKER


 Headquarters, 2lSt Bomber Com mand, Guam, Jan, l9- CUP)-(Vis Navy Radio)-A strong force of U s. SuperfortreSseS hit the important KaWasaki aircraft plant at AkaShi on Japan's main island of Honshu today in an effort to destroy this hitherto untouched factory
 B-29 bombardiers, armed with extraordinarily clear photographs of the factory-l0 miles west of Kobe bombed the target in almost perfect weather
 Returning pilots said large eXplo- Sions ard fires were seen and that the Superforts bombed from a con- siderably lower altitude than usual rom an upwind direction,
 This indicated that Brig. Gen. Haywood g. HansellS pilots were engaged in an all-out effort to knock out the factory which is known tt produce single and twin-en2insd fighters as well as other aircraft.
 Pilots reported that fighter oppo Stion was slight to medium witk faR slight to moderate indicat' ing that the Japanese may have been as surprised by the attack or this new target as they were by the first Superfort raid on Tokyo.
 Early reports indicated no B-29 were lest on the raid
 The KawaSaEi plant is one of th most modern of Japan's plan S Pictures taken yesterday by a By on reconnaissance clearly showed aI airfield adjacent to the plant, lead. ing to the belief that the plane were flown to the war fronts.
 The photographs showed smaller buildings, which conceivably coul house engine and parts manufac turing equipment, besides the barn Ike structures where the Japanese fighter planes were assembled

 Strongly endorsed by President Roosevelt, the nurse draft bill was introduced with Army and Navy ap- proval as the most effective means of getting the 10000 new nurses needed to insure the best treatment for wounded American Servicemen.
 Committee Chairman Andrew J. May. D., Ky, said that as soon as Kirk completed his testimony the committee would return to its work Of attempting to write q Il that would force men between Is and 45 years, including 4-F'S into essential industry if and when they were needed
 The nurse bill would provide for the registration Of all registered nurses between the ages of l8 and 45, and make them available for in- duction under the same procedures followed in drafting men into the armed forces.
 The bill would not affect volun- tary recruitment ol qualified women into the Army and Navy Nurse Corps, but would give selectiye sery- Ice authority to induct others as they were needed
 May told reporters at the close of Q short committee session late yeS- terday that progress was being made and that he hoped the committee would be able to approve a bill by tonight,

 The German threat to Strasbourg has been building up slowly for sev- eral weeks.
 Today the Nazis rammed forward to establish a continuous line from the Maginot line positions north of the forest of Hagenau down to GambSheim, seven miles north of Strasbourg's city limits.
 In the process the Germans over an the Rhineside villages of Dal- unden, SCattmatten and Denglo- sheim.
 The Germans had three divisions cramming down on the Hagenau roadnet, including the 2lst Panzer utlQ UIlS SOtIl FdtlHeE 0iSldtltho uliS' 1t was estimated they have 10 to l2 divisions massed against It. Gen Alexander M. Patch's Seventh American Army between Gamsheim and Bitche.
 The Nazis were continuously re- inforcing the Gamsheim sector by use of pontoon bridges and ferries across the Rhine which were pro- tected from Allied air assault by steadily falling rain,
 Patton launched his veterans in a sudden thrust at selected points, in- cluding a six-mile front from Die klrch, IS miles due north of the Luxembourg capital, to the Luxem- bourg- German frontier due east of Dlekirch.
 The Americans Surged through Diekirch, leaving mopping-up par ties to deal with remnants of the Nazi garrison, slashed across the Sure river and rolled the Germans Up against the Our river which is the Luxembourg German border at that

Board Okuys HuIf Million In City Bills
by Math5s.

Approximately one-half million dollars in city expenditures were approved by the finance board yeS- terday at it's regular meeting.
 Of this amount $3645 was In vouchers comprised on end-of- the year Q944 bills owed by the city and made up in great measure by commitments of the school depart- ment for repairs, stock, etc, Insur- ance and general items also were included The remainder was com prised of $65,000 for the teachers payroll and $45 ,000 for general em- ployes salary. The citys l944 fis- cal year will close officially on Jan. 3l
 The board also approved recent suggestion of city budget director Arnold F. Furlong, reported here last week, that each department be committed to deposit all sums of money exceeding $l0 each day. However, receipts under $l0 may be accumulated for three week pe- riod after which they must be de- posted, even though not equaling the aforementioned amount.
 MT. Furlong pointed out that the city has been criticized by public auditors for not adhering to such q system, and has been told by the corporation counsel that such procedure Is within the jurisdiction of the finance board to rule upon rather than necessitating a charter change.
 The board transferred 5000 in the welfare department budget to cover the expense of four soldier burials and that of pauper. MT. Furlong said that the city will be reim- bursed by the state which under writes requests for aid from sur vivors of veterans.

Jap Forces Scaled of At Rosario
BY WILLIAM B. DICKINSON

General MacArthur's Headquar- terS, Luzon, January 10. -- tUP) -- American invasion troops seized almost complete control of Rosario In the northeast corner of their Luzon beachhead today, sealing off strong Japanese forces entrenched in the mountains around the Philip pine summer capital of Baguio, l4 miles away.
 Other American units maSsing strength on the central plains 37 miles south of the Lngayen Gulf were believed awaiting the fall of Rosario, five miles inland from the eastern rim of the gulf, before re- suming their frontal smash toward Manila.
 GA Japanese communique re- corded by the F'CC conceded that the Americans had awvanced as far as the Agno river, 20 miles south Of the Lingayen Gulf, but claimed Japanese counter attacks had halted an American advance two and a half miles inland from San Fabian in the northeastern sector.
 The capture of Rosario would eff fectively block the only practical highway along which Japanese troops in the Gaguio area to the northeast could mount counter attack against the eastern flank Of the American beachhead and en- danger the rear of spearheads point ed toward Manila.
 Strong Resistance
 Supported by the big guns of war ships in the Lingayen Gulf, Amer ican doughboys broke into the out skirts of Rosario Wednesday despite what General Douglas MacArthurs communique called strong enemy resistance"
 Field reports said the opposition came principally from artillery and mortar batteries. Little hand-to' hand skirmishing was reported. Only a few miles east of Rosario lies an excellent airstrip.
 Undaneta, road junction l9 miles south of Rosario, was captured by American units. while other troops fought in the outskirts of
