GERMANS STRIKE
In northeast France the Ger
mans, checked short of break
through at every point they have
hit in the last nine days, Tuesday
struck at four widely separated
points on the Sixth army group
front.
"A front dispatch said they appar-
tntly hoped to feel out weak spot,
but failed. 1t reported that the Ger
mans were attacking in the Rim
ling area east of Sarreguemines,
north of Lemberg on the west side
of the Bitche bulge, north of the
Haguenau forest in the vicinity of
Obserroeden, and south of Stras-
bourg along the Rhine-Rhone canal.
There are indications that the
Germans are beginning to move out
of the Ardennes bulge slowly by
fighting a delaying action, and that
they may take up positions along a
ridge south of Houffalize as soon
as they have cleared their armored
units from the bulge" a dispatch
from Lieutenant General Courtney
Hodges First army headquarters,
said.
While Hodges armor battled the
German tanks three miles north
east of Ia Roche 0thar First army
forces were closing on the key town
for a frontal assault. Vielle, ham
let one mile north of La Roche, fell
to a U. S. column spearing straight

now on sick leave at his home here,
it was learned today.
Lieutenant General George S. Pat

that he goes to Walter Reed gen.
eral hospital for treatment from
time to time.
The date on which Sylvester was
relieved was not disclosed. On Nov.

Gets Bill to
Care for Employment

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan.
9. (UP)'-A bill appropriate
ing $40,O00,O00 in state funds
for relief of expected post
war unemployment was in
troduced in the state l'egisla-
ture Tuesday in line with a
recommendation by Cover
nor Earl Warren.
The unemployment relief bill was
introduced as assembly Democrats
complained in effect that the gov
ernor had stolen state and national
Democratic party policies in advo-
eating a broad program of social
legislation.
The $4O,OOO,OOO relief fund would
be taken out of the state surplus,
and, according to Warren, can be
spared without jeopardizing his plan
to maintain state taxes at their
present reduced rates.
WHEN AN EMERGENCY
The money could be spent when
and if the governor proclai1ns the
existence of state of emergency
due to widespread unemployment
throughout the state"
Authors of the bill are Assembly
man Thomas Maloney (R) and AL
bert Wollenberg (R) both San
Francisco, and Gardner johnson
tR0 Berkeley.
The Democrats still plan to in
troduce and support very con-
structive series of bills for govern
mental reorganization, including
measures for a new independent
auditing agency and new depart
ment of revenue for collection of all
state taxes, party leacers said.
Meanwhile, the general legisla-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. CUP)-
The house military affairs commit
tee displayed "get tough" attitude
Tuescay as it prepared for early
action on work or fight" legiSla-
tion.
Chairman Andrew j. May CD
Kentucky, announced that hearings
would begin Wednesday on his bill
to force 4-F draft registrants into
war jobs or armed service units
Administration advisers were re-
ported to have conferred at the
White House to agree on express
sions of views before the committee
MIGHT INCLUDE NURSES
May said his measure might be
amended to provide for the nurse
draft proposed by President Roose-
welt. The committee, he said, is
expecting report from Army Sur
geon General Norman T. Kirk on
whether the army has any objec-
tions.
After the committee considers his
bill, May said, it may turn to the
request for a national service act
made by Mr.. Roosevelt along with
his recommendation from legisla-
tion dealing with nurses and 4-Fs.
The chairman observed that COM
mittee members, particularly the
10 who recently toured European
battlefronts. were getting tough"
in their approach to manpower
problems.
The work or fight" bill would
subject all men between 18 and As,
who leave essential jobs without
CRAFT board permission or who work
at non-essential jobs, to induction
in special army service units. They
would, however, be ineligible for
veterans benefits. Similar measures
have been introduced in the SEN

war in Europe continuing for an
other 18 months.
POSTWAR PLANS
This budget message contained a
pre- view of Mr. Roosevelt's post
war demobilization and employment
plans. They EVIDENTLY contemplate
reduction of annual government ex-
penditures to $50, COO 100000 through
the dernobilization period and, ulti-
mately, to $25 5,O0O, ,OO0, 900 where they
would level off.
He said that as demobilizatiOn
accelerates after the war there may
be 60,000,0OC men and women to be
employed"
"Manifestly," Mr.. Roosevelt said
full employment in peace time
can he assured only when the re-
duction in war demand is approx
mately offset by additional peace
time demand from the millions of
consumers, businesses, farmers, and
by federal, state and local govern
mentS.
THAT means that consumers eX-
penditures and business investments
must increase by about SO per cent,
measured in constant prices, above
the level of the year 1889 if full
employment is to be provided by
private enterprise"
To that emo he proposed post
war overhaul of the wartime tax
structure ITO stimulate consumers
demand and promote business in
vestment.

Spending, revenue and deficit es-
Inmates were all down in this budget

to reintroduce his resolution call
ing for a 10-man senate committee
to investigate the U. S. defeat at

Der, the resolution was pigeonholed
by the military affairs committee.
Ferguson told the United Press
that he hopes to introduce the res
olution again within the next few
days."
II haven't forgotten about it," he
said. 'I still think the American
people have every right to know
the facts surrounding the 1941 nav

only way they cam get the facts is

The resolution would direct the
president of the senate to appoint
10-man committee to have full
and complete investigation" of the
facts surrounding the attack. The
committee would report to the SEN

would recommend any legislation it
found to be necessary.

THE DUMBARTON OAKS
PLAN and the coming confer
ence at San Francisco on April
rs were the topics discussed by
Rosemary Scott of the history
department of Mount Clemens
High school at the meeting Of
Westminster League at Mrs.
George Hargreaves' home last
evening.
Miss Scott delineated the prob
lens that each of the various del
egates to the April Is conference
may bring forth; disputes that
may arise; and the possible view
point of France, Russia, the
smaller overrun natl ons and
Latin America.
ORIGINAL PLAN
Pointing out that nations must
work together on common prob
ems, the speaker explained that
the conference is to be open to
delegates of all peace-loving
nations. She outlined the plan
proposed at Dumbarton Oaks,
under which the Security Coun-
Gil was to consist of one represen-
tative from the United States,
Great Britain, the Soviet Union,
China and one other nation, pos
slbly France, as permanent men,
bers, plus one representative
from each of six member states
chosen for two-year terms by
the General Assembly. This
council was to meet continuously
to settle any threats Of peace.
But, as Miss Scott stated, some
of the nations are already asking
for more than one permanent
representative. This Is to be dis
cussed at San Francisco. The
delegates from the United States
she listed as Former Secretary of
