Germans Quit
st. Hubert In
Quick Retreat
Most OF Enemy Apparent
ly Shifted To East
Side OF Bulge

PARIS, Thursday. Jan. II.
(AP)-The western end of
the Germans Ardennes sail
ent-carved out in their cost
ly December counteroffen-
sive-appeared today to be
caving under Allied pressure
from three sides.
There were indications that
German Field Marshal Won
Rundstedt already had shift
ed most of his forces to the
eastern end of the wedge in
Belgium.
The Germans acknowledged quit
ting st. Hubert, southwestern an
Choir town of the salient. Although
his report was without Allied con-
firmation, the German radio said
St. Hubert, IA miles west of Bas-
togne, was evacuated before the
Americana entered it.
La Roche, another communica-
tons hub on the north side of the
salient, was being mopped up rap
idly after having been by-passed
by American armor and infantry
in general advance, and front
line correspondents said the main
German force had abandoned that
town as well as others on the north
and west.
Another reverse for the Germans
was an advance by the American
Seventh Army to the south where
the Germans began counterattack ok
ing when it was apparent that their
Belgian offensive had begged down.
The Americans pushed ahead
mile in a sector seven miles
southwest of Saarbrucken, field
dispatch said.
Won Rundstedt appeared to have
effected an orderly withdrawal in
the Belgian bulge under cove: of
the same foul weather that shroud-
ed the mid December westward
plunge of his armies and deprived
the Allies of support of their tao
teal airforces.
The U. S. First and Third Ar
mics, now less than nine miles
apart at the waist of the salient
after day of battering advances
through ice and snow, thus faced
the prospect of finding the pocket
empty when they eventually come
together north of Bastogne.
More than 1000 American heavy
bombers pounded at the rear OF
the Withdrawing enemy, lombard
ing bridges, road functions, air
fields at the base of the bulge.
Some of the Nazi airfields had
been constructed in recent weeks
for close support of Won Rund-
stedt's drive. Only 300 fighters es-
corted the big ships in their daring
attack
After 80 hours of violent armo1ed
battle, American forces swept
through the fiercely defended
road junction of Samree on t h
northern flank of the salient and
drove on more than a mile south
ward.

4W1th1n a mile ana quarter OF
fKomarom, Moscow announced last
night.
Rail traffic out of Kormarom,
strategic railroad and communica-
tons center on the Danube 40
miles northwest of Budapest, al
ready has been blocked by Red
Army artillery, dispatches from
the Soviet capital said.
The Soviet forward surge in Blu
dapest also has resulted in the
capture of practically all the in
dustrial eastern suburb, the COM
munique broadcast from Moscow
said.
A thousand blocks of buildings,
almost half as many as Soviet
storm troops had gained in two
previous weeks of fighting, were
taken Wednesday, and the Soviet
command early today stated that
many factories, quantities of mill
tary equipment and thousands of
prisoners also were captured. The
Russians now control $500 of Blu
dapest's estimated 4,500 blocks.
Fresh motorized corps were
thrown against the Nazi relief ex-
petition which has been battering
at Russian lines Is miles west and
northwest of Budapest or eight
days in an attempt to break
through to the beleaguered city.
The supplemental communique
said q more German tanks had
been destroyed and 1000 of the
enemy killed in this area Wednes-
day. Thus, the Nazi command has
sacrificed 625 tanks and more than
14,7O0 men in trying to reach its
trapped garrison in Budapest, ac-
cording to Russian accounts.

GENERAL MacARTHUR'S
HEADQUARTERS, LUZON,
Thursday, Jan. 11.-(AP)-
Under the impetus of Tues
day mornings power-packed
landing, American troops by
midday Wednesday had carv-
ed out a Luzon beachhead Is
miles wide and an average of
four miles deep, still finding
little or no opposition. They
captured four key towns and
an airstrip less than 100
miles north of Manila.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur com.
munique today, the second issued
from his Luzon headquarters, ans
nounced the four separate beachs
heads along Lingayen Gulf had
been consolidated in the first "a
hours of almost ploodless invasion
from San Fabian to Lingayen.
Macarthur said the enemy
completely deceived" by the
landing at his rear, was bringing
up reinforcements from the south
ern part of the island. This pres
aged an early opening of the real
battle for Luzon.
Three key rail and highway
bridges at Calumpit, Is miles
northwest of Manila, were de-
stroyed in the aerial blasting Of
all Luzon in support of the inva-
sion.
1t was around Calumpit in the
dark days of late 1941 that Mac
Arthur's American and Filipino
forces fought a bitter delaying ac-
ton. This prevented the Japanese,
who had landed at Antimonan on
the east coast, from plunging
straight toward Manila before the
American commander had time to
pull in his advanced scattered
forces in the converging with
draWal that ended on Bataan PEI

(AP)-Draft quotas will rise

Patterson informed h e House

At the same time, War Mobi1i-
cation Director Byrnes repeatedly
was winding up series OF con-
ferences with top war officials to
revise the list of essential indus
tries so as to protect the most i'm

roads.
In turn. some 40 members Of the
