While the Americans are strik-

commanded by Field Marshall
Montgomery, today are plunging

The American Third Army
was reported by Radio Stock

Nuremberg, and if that is the
case, then it has advanced almost
100 miles since yesterday. While
there was no confirmation of that
report at headquarters, it was
pointed out that it was possible
for armored divisions, meet

Irish Laws Ignore
Official Language


DUBLIN, Ire, March 27.-Erse
is one of the official languages of
the Oireachtas (parliamenD, and
Prime Minister de Valera's gov
eminent has been trying to popu-
larize its use, but not one of 22l
bills introduced during the years
1888 to 1914 was in the language.
English was invariably used in
the bills which were signed by
the president in that. language.
No bill in Erse may be presented
for signature unless it has been
passed by both houses in that
language.
One problem is that there is no
authoritative decision on the Erse
equivalents of terms which have
acquired a special legal signifi-
canoe in English. Proposals for
legislation in this regard have
been under consideration for some
time.
When the president signs a bill
in only one of the official Ian
guages, an official translation is
issued in the other language; but
since this translation has not been
passed by both houses and is not
signed by the president it has not
the force of law.

ability 10 liquidate a substan-
tial volume of outstanding
