speaking, the Older such manu-

are historically. The real test,
however, is not age, but whether

NaZi Armies On Defensive
 In The West

PARIS - German armies were thrown on the defensive from the Holland panhandle to lower LuXem- bourg as British troops captured Hongen. three miles inside the Reich. and the U. s. Third Army took the border town of Rosport. six miles from heavily gunned Trier. Between those forces the U. & First Army troops blocked the four miles north Of Stvit, key road chain through which von Rund- stedt first struck at Belgium through the snowy Ardennes noun tains.
 In northeast France the Ameri- can Seventh Army lost it's toeholds in Herrlisheim and Sessenheim, Il and 16 miles north of Strasbourg, but captured Auenheim and Leuter- helm below Hatten in the area where the Maginot line closes up to the Rhine.
 Rundstedt is trying to catch his balance between Luxembourg and Holland where the American and British attacks gained up to two miles in the slushy snow and of a thrust by three Allied armies in the north and center which might burst at any moment into a full force onslaught endangering Ger many from the west as the Rus sians endangered her from the east
 The German command managed to get a few pummeled tanks and guns of his Fifth and Sixth panzer armies back out of the smashed Ar dennes bulge, but these constituted his only known mobile reserve. Most units needed refitting, and the reserve couldn't be used before Dus- seldorf, Styit and Trier.
 At the same time the German radio said the Allies have opened a broad offensive on the southern flank of the Belgian salient be tween Wiltz and Wallendorf.

New Housing Units
 May Be Built Here

Making a survey of Alaska towns to discover the need for release of critical materials for civilian hOus- ing. George W. Coplen, regional representative of tn national housing agency, was in Wrangell early this week Meeting with civic leaders at a special session at the Fire Hall, MT Coplen explained that due to the prolongation of the European war, a tightening of re- strictions is necessary, but that some civilian housing is possible where really needed. He said that Gov. Ernest Gruening had recom- mended a survey of Wrangell, and that after looking over the situa- tion and talking with the mayor and other townspeople, he would recommend that 10 or 12 units be authorized at a maximum cost of s750O each.
 James Nolan, president of the WrangeIl Chamber of Commerce. who presided at the meeting, point ed out that all dwellings are Occu- pied at the present time. when the . towns population is less than iu l the summer during the fishing sea- 1 son, and that the situation was so acute last summer that people were forced to buy to secure hous- ing. Also it was noted that each year it is difficult for teachers to find suitable residence.
 MT. Coplen said prospective builders must be found before the materials can be released, and Leo Mccormack agreed to take applica- tions of those interested in builG- ing new homes, and to furnish any information desired Financi n g could be done under FILA or by local investment.
 Present at the meeting were Mayor F. G. Hanford, Jim Nolan, Fred Cunningham, George Gunder- son, H. B. Thornquist, Chet Steear Bill Eastaugh, the Rev. Ben F Judd Jr., Mrs. Ann DeLong, MT Mccormack, and Mir. Coplen. The latter left by plane for Ketchikan to continue his survey. He will re turn to Juneau, then to Fairbanks land Anchorage.
