mother is the chief cook and menu

her special holiday to take over
kitchen duty and treat her as an
honored guest at breakfast, lunch
and dinner. And invite some of her
special friends into at least one
festive meal.
Whether you plan to serve
guest dinner to some of her cronies,
or just celebrate with the family, it's
an easy matter to make luscious
dessert tarts and serve them with
spiced froth, made of caffeinless

Attorney John F. Tobin, defense lawyer for Thomas Amico, 59, of 37 Laval Street, one of four local men served with warrants by the city yesterday for failure to pay old-age taxes, today filed a motion in city court demand ing specific charges by the city in the case of his client.
 A continuance of three weeks for filing charges was granted to At- torney Tobin by City Court Judge Charles Summa.

 In the case of William Alfhauser, 34, 45l North street, father of i've children, the jurist ruled that City Tax Collector Humbert Mangini, who was present In court, offer the opportunity to the defendant to file petition for abatement.

 The case, as presented by Attor- ncy Tobin was of unusual interest and was attended by various city officials, inasmuch as such action by the city is rare.

DREAKTHROUGH
 BID AIMED AT GERMAN BASIN
BY BRUCE w. MUNN

Paris, March Is. - (UP)-' American tanks and infan- trymen struck eastward from their Rhine bridgehead with in a half-mile of the Rhine Ruhr Berlin superhighway today in a powerful bid for a breakthrough into the ex- posed southern flank of the Ruhr basin.
 German military spokes- men said the Americans had thrown five full divisions, perhaps 75,0O0 men, into dhe Remagen salient in an at tempt to smash the Nazi front east of the Rhine.
 Heavily-cenSored field dispatches said the Germans were throwing strong armored achievements into the battle in desperate attempt to contain the U. s. First Army drive, But the Nazis were being ham, mered slowly back across the broad superhighway that forms the main lateral line of supply and commtlni- cation for the German armies east of the Rhine.
 An unconflrmed Brussels radio re- port said the Yanks already were astride the highway at an undls- closed point five to eight miles east of the river.
 Light Opposition More than 25 miles to the south west, It. Gen. George s. Pattons American Third Army broke across the Mosel river in force and thrust eastward toward the Rhine against surprisingly light opposition.
 Pattons' men were less than three miles from the Rhine at point about eight miles southwest or CoblenZ.
 Other Third Army forces rammed across the northern corner of Ger many's Saar province on a broad front that carried nine miles or more east of Saarburg.
 Simultaneously, American SeV- enth Army forces on the southern fringe of the industrial Saar basin opened up with limited offensive that pushed the Germans back across the Saar river on an eight (Continued on Page 4

Film Strike  Award Party

Hollywood, March 6-(UP)--The motion picture industry strike en- tered its fourth day today with the makers of celloloid drama hoping 1t wouldn't spoil tonight's Star-stud- ded academy award presentations.
 Whether the conference of stu- dio unions would carry It's fight to filmdom's annual blowout was almost as big problem to pro- ducers as how to make movies without crews. Union leaders said they didn't know If the Chinese theater, scene of the presentations, would be picketed or not.
 Work on the few pictures which producers were struggling to com plete despite the strike was helped today by the decision of l,700 mem bers of the International Alliance of Theatrical Workers to ignore picket lines and report to work.
 The strike was called by the con- ference of studio unions to force recognition of It's painters local as the bargaining agency for 78 set designers. The IATSE also claimed jurisdiction over the set designers Both unions arc affiliates of the

FULL BRITISH
 PUSH AGAINST
 LAPS ASSURED
BY PHIL AULT

London, March Is. - (UP) - Prime Minister Churchill said today that victory in Europe may come before the end of summer Cor even Sooner".
 The quickening progress of the war means Germany will be forced into unconditional surrender or "beaten to the ground in chaos and ruin," he told the annual confer ence of the conservative party.
 Churchill's prediction that the war in Europe may end within six months coincided with a wave of optimism throughout Britain and on the western front.
 One front dispatch said reliable military sources believed peace possible within six weeks. A former Berlin correspondent now in Stock holm wrote that Adolf Hitler early this month had made peace feeler through Sweden to the United States and Britain, but had been rejected.
 Churchill promised an Intense British war effort against Japan.
 No mood of war wearinesS must prevent us from doing our duty to the last inch and to the last min ute," he said. ,.
 "rhe scale of war against Japan is not limited by manpower. That will be readily forthcoming. It IS limited by shipping md other means of transport over vast ocean spaces and through steaming jun gles."
