Officer Charges
GI Point Delay

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25 CUP)
The war department was asked
today 10 investigate reports that
field commanders have delayed
awarding combat stars 10 prevent
soldiers from having enough
points for discharge.
The inquiry was requested by
Senator Johnson. Cd, of Colo
RADIO, Of the Senate military af-
fairs committee. who forwarded
10 the department a letter from
an air force intelligence officer
in the Pacific.
The officers letter said that
while the battle stars were au-
thorized by general orders issued
IN Washington, they were not
awarded until approved by the
theater commanders. This. nc
said, sometimes had been delayed
months.
1T is all very simple" he
wrote. "SOme low pe.s,.s, l.
doubtedly hangovers from Axis
affiliates, have indicated a belief
that possibly some theater com
manders weren't willing to he
prompt In the issuance Of such
orders because II would mean
more experienced men going
home"

all men are equal in death In adjacent plot, we
have buried 54S7 German soldiers, and their graves

No. who is head of operations and who has done more
to make this place worthy of the men who lie here

The American dead here have found many sponsors

have adopted their graves and taking care of them
We have book in which they register their names

already has been filled with many thousands of names

adopt Gen Pattons grave but understand that Grand
Duchess Charlotte and her family will make point of
adopting the grave of this who made their country
free again.

goodwill and justice-and not
through armed power-will world

blasted from the air, the floods
swept over the land and finally

Then Patton closed in on Dieuze
and pushed threatening southern
prong OF great pincer movement
toward the Saar, some 40 miles
southeast of Metz.
North OF Metz another encircl-
ing arm went over the Mozelle in
the Thionville area and pushed

From these strong tentacles

IMPROBABLE RING

Patton's method was to mass
srtillery fire of heavy calibers,
plus heavy air bombardment, on
all forts of a group, and then.
when the defenders sought cover,
take the group forts one at a
time by lessening his own fire on
that fort and adding its hail of

It's supply lines. Patton pleaded
for ammunition, gasoline, replace

ahead. The Germans, left alone,
might make a stand behind the
MoScl!e River, backed aS-it- was
by the 43 forts of the citadel of
Metz, and beyond that the re-
versed French Maginot line and
then the German Siegfried line.
LACK OF SUPPLIES
Patton needed 1000 tons of all
types of supply daily to push on.
Instead OF that ALLEGATION daily,
Patton was told he could have
Z. .eee- tons -ReefetfHify= he called
his staff together and told them
that, pending a build up of sup
plies, Third Army would at least
have TO 60 on the defensive.
But IL will be an aggressive

I'VE will push forward, at. n
walk, on the ground, instead of

metal to the barrage on the
others.
Twenty-Five of the IS outer
forts fell under this plan-at a
cost of less than half of one bat
talon in casualties.
The inner 15 forts were far
harder TO crack They were COM
pletely underground, with steel,
concrete and eafthen cover % 80
so feet thick overhead and 80 10
81 feet in the walls.
Through the overhead covers
were elevator pillboXes, mounting
so caliber machine guns, anti
tank guns and even 88 millimeter
field pieces. These ran up above
ground, fired on attacking troops
and again dropped down out OF
sight.
All Is Of the inner ring of forts
were connected by underground
passageways.
s-YEAR SUPPLY
All had artesian wells inside for
water supply and had ammunition
and food for three-year siege
The troops were specially trained
fortress battalions.
A German major was captured
from one of these forts. He was
taken on tour of Third Army
units surrounding the Metz area.
He was shown on a map how
many men were there, how many
guns, how hopeless the situation
was.
GERMAN SENT BACK
Then the major was sent back
to his fort, to report the facts and
urge his commander TO surrender.
He came back, within 4S hours,
reporting that the garrison of his
fort would like TO surrender but
that if they surrendered the Ges-
tapo, in the German home areas
would toroture the relatives of the
defenders. The forts, he said,
would have to be taken by assault.
He was promised that his fort
would be taken by combined
ground and air assault"-but was
warned that when the assault
came the German defenders
would do well to fire into the air,
If they fired at all.
Assault capture" of u of the
Is inner forts of Metz cost less
than a company of American cas-
ualties.
The three inner and three
outer forts that fought fanati-
cally on, however, were not finally
reduced until Dec. 13.
STORY KEPT SECRET
The story of the assault" cap
ture OF the other forts was held a
secret. however, until after the
end of the war, on May 8, 1945.
This is the first time the story
has been publicly told.
After Metz. Third Army swept

Maginot Line TO the Saar River.
