Mrs. Parsons in- tends to fly south tomorrow to at tend the wedding.
 It had been originally planned that the couple be wed in Juneau this coming spring, when Capt Mclean expected to be here on leave.

Clear Weather
 Aids Push On .Luzon Plain
Sixth Army Rolling South ward Down Plain To-
 ward Manila
By c. YATES MCDANIEL
 and
 JAMES HUTCHINSON GA. F. War Correspondents)

GEN. MacARTHUR'S H EAD- QUARTERS, LJzON, Jan. 17--One week after landing at Lingayen Gulf, a powerful American spear head. which was more than one- third of the way to Manila Mon day, is still rolling southward in dry, clear weather down the broad central Luzon Plain.
 The drive was virtually checked on land and in the air. however, on the left flank where the first Japanese counter-attack of the in- vasion was reported in the stub bornly held Pozorrubio sector Sun day.
 Gen. MacArthur's communique said the blow was repulsed.
 Conservatively worded official statements located the deepest American penetration as on the center of three main north-south highways, 45 miles from Lingayea and 83 miles from Manila. The Tank column which reached Cami- ling, 30 miles south of Lingayen Sunday, is reported officially to be working it's way southward, but the depth of the advance is not pin-pointed. Field reports said these troops are progressing against noth- ing stronger than an occasional harassing patrol.
 Japs Off Balance
 Gen. MacArthur's communique gave no details of the intensity of the Japanese counter but violent enemy reaction appeared overdue several days as Sixth Army blows kept the Japanese off bal ance.
 Heaviest fighting of the entire front has been underway in the Pozorrubio sector where rapid gains were scored Sunday as the battlefront widened. East and west around the Lingayen Gulf U. s. troops drove a series of strategic wedges across the main highways of Luzons Central Plain while pa trols pushed ahead on the center highway east of Moncade, 10 miles southeast of captured Bayambang.

HANF0RD HAS BILLS
 TO BE INTRODUCED

Representative elect Fred Han ford, Mayor of Wrangell, is one of the few legislators tipping hand as to what legislation he will carry in his pocket to the coming Sev- enteenth Legislature, the opening guns of which will be fired Monday.
 Hanford comes committed from his home town with $10,000 sea- wall plan for Wrangell, complete with park benches and appropriate lights.
 He also brings a tangled legal question by declaring a hope the Legislature can raise fishermen's license fees to provide funds for hospitalization benefits similar to those enjoyed by seamen in the Mer- chant Marine.

IKE BEGINS
 NEW DRIVES
 ON GERMANS

PARIS, Jan. 17-Bayonet wield- ing Britons of the Second Army in drive on the Dutch village of Dieteren, between the Maas and Roer Rivers, B miles above Aachen. have made advances of up to 1000 yards in a resumption of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's winter of- fensive.
 The rested British soldiers crossed the little Roode River in two places and pushed steadily on over glassy roads and snow-drifted farmland to the fringes of Germany.
 This attack is aimed at straight ening the Allied line to the upper Roer whose west bank is held by the U. S. Ninth Army from Linnich to Schmidt.
 Reducing Belgian Bulge
 The U. s. First Army is further reducing the Belgian bulge and has driven to within five miles of St. With, the last major road center in the German-held salient.
 Inside Germany to the south, an undisclosed number of enemy troops have been trapped or cap- tured near Butzdorf by Third Army tanks.
 Advance over Icy Ground
 The Britishers progressed in their advance today through thick ground haze over icy terrain. The offensive began with massive ar tillery barrage, Field Marshal Montgomery's trademark, and ap- parently caught the Germans nap ping.
 Tommies captured at least one bridge over the Roode intact as they advanced in ghost-like white capes through relatively soft spot in German defenses.
 Not only are artillery forces en- gagged in final stage battle for the Belgian Bulge which is now reduced to about one-fourth it's original size.
 Powerful Nazi Attacks
 North of Haguenau Forest, the U. s. Seventh Army withstood three days of increasingly powerful Ger man attacks against the village of Hatten, slowly beating the Nazis back across the Rhine. Three-fourths of Hatten is in AL lied hands with flame throwers and tanks sending some 2,200 Germans reeling across the Rhine to the other fourth of Hatten.
 The German stand north of ! Strasbourg is under a two-way attack by Gen. Patch's troops for the first time, it was also revealed today.
 i Gen. Hodges troops also cap- tured Vielsalm, nine miles west of St With, as von Rundstedt at tempted strenuously to halt his re- treat from the bulge Vielsalm, a town of 3,900 population, was en- tered week ago by. the 82nd In- fantry Division. A week-long battle flared along the Salm River and about the ruined castle of Salm nearby.

THIRD FLEET ROvES CHINA
 COAST AREAS
By LIEF ERICKSON "A. F. War Correspondent)

UNITED STATES PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUARTERS, PEARL HARBOR, Jan. 16--tDelayed) -Ad- miral William A. Halsey's free-rov- ing Third Fleet wound up week of the most audacious naval opera tions of the war by sending carrier planes, Saturday, Sunday and Mon- day, up and down more than 35[ miles of the China Coast, destroy ing or damaging more than 100000 tons of Japanese shipping and heavily smashing such choice tar gets as Canton and Hong Kong against amazingly puny enemy air opposition, suggesting that the Japanese air force has its hands full over its own homeland.
 In the Philippines, carrier planes ruled the skies, as they did over French Indo-China's shores on January II, and over Formosa on January B. Formosa, once consid- cred formidable target by itself
  was attacked on Saturday. on Sun day and on Monday, at the same time other carrier planes were sinking oil tankers and bombing the Royal Navy docks in Hongkone harbor. with the Canton raids dat ing back to the January 8 assault on Formbsa.
 Admiral Halsey's planes now have accounted for we'll over 30O,000 tons of enemy shipping, including sev- eral escort type warships, and have downed more than 250 Japanese planes. The latter figure is low be- cause so few planes have been en- countered.

The Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tLt. Col Robert S.. Allen now on active service with the Army)

WASHINGTON--W House ad- visers staged a quiet campaign last week to put Mayor Fiorello La Guardia across as the new Secre- tary of Labor.
 So far the President has been unable to find the right-or willing person to step into Miss Perkins shoes and "the madame" is in- tent on leaving. Some of the Presi- dents friends, therefore, think La Guardia is not only a natural, but could be persuaded to take what is the most thankless job in the Cabinet.
 The labor post is being hard to fill because possible appointees will have to step into the middle of the hot CIO-AFL row, in which they are sure to offend one side or the other. La Guardia, however, is used to stepping on peoples toes, doesn't care how many people he offends, and will ride roughshod over any group he thinks is wrong
 Moreover, the Little Flowers po- litical prospects as Mayor of New York for a fourth term are not bright. The Republicans, and nominally he is one, say they won't nominate him again. The Demo- crats, toward whom he leans na- tionally, oppose him locally. La Guardias popular following is just as large as ever, but he will have tough time being reelected if nominated.
 So you may find the fiery Fio- rello coming back to his old haunts where he once served as one of the most efficient hard-hitting Representatives ever elected to Congress.

To Marshall Hall
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION

-
silver Spring intermediate School.
AS closing party for school the
eighth grade went to Marshall Hall
on the boat. We left early one
Saturday and went by streetcar to
the pier. Not long after we were
all settled in our places the whistle
blew and we were on.
We sailed merrily In the breezes
for several hours and soon stopped
at Mount Vernon for picnic lunch.
Again we picked up our things
and boarded the ship. 1t took only
a short time to get to Marshall
Hall. OF course, this time there
was q mad rush to get on the
boat. Every one parted and began
riding the many things and stop
ping for soft drinks, ice cream and
candy.
About $50 the whistle blew
again. On the way home we got
caught in q terrible sleet storm. 1t
soon let up, however, and we ar
rived home safe. Although very
tired, every one agreed that the
trip was swell.

Insect Hunting Can Become
A Fascinating Summer Hobby
Bv Carol e.. Hall

ing boards are used for them, and
the wings spread out so that they
may be clearly seen.
Although insects may be found the
year around, in this hemisphere the
peak Of the insect season Is from
midsummer to the first frost in the
autumn. Insect hunting Is there
fore an ideal outdoor hobby.
There are many books and PAM
phlets available ON the subject OF
insects. Your public library has a
list Of them. Governmental agencies,
either State or national, can furnish
you much information about them.
Once you are started on this fasci-
mating pastime there will be no
limit to reading about insects.
Insects Almost Human.
All manner Of activities are car
ried on by insects-that makes their
study all the more interesting. For
instance, there are the insect arti-
sans-masons, carpenters, potters,
wood engravers, crafts of all types.
There are insect lions. wolves
ogres. Then there are the water in,
sects and their strange ways-the
boatmen, swimmers. fishermen, pi-
rates, whirligigs and what-have-you.
Don't forget the insects that carry
|ianterns--the firefiies. Also the in
teresting members of the grasshop-
mar and cricket families. As for ants
and bees, lifetime could be spent
on the study of their interesting
ways. For beauty you can concen-
trate on the gorgeous butterflies and
moths.
Every species has It's own set OF
living habits and behaviors. No two
of them are alike. Truly the study
of the worlds largest family can be
an exciting adventure.
