 London, January 8.-CUP) - The Red Army siege west and northwest of Buda- pest buckled dangerously to- day under a pile-driver Ger man attack that carried van guards of a Nazi relief army within IS miles of the be- leaguered city.
 Spending men and armor recklessly in an eleventh hour bid to rescue the rem nantS of some 80,000 Axis troops holding out inside Budapest, the Germans slug ged their way almost into artillery range of the capital in the face of terrific casual ties and a growing threat to their left flank north of the Danube.
 One NaI column recaptured the Danube crossing town of Eszter- Eon1, l9 miles northwest of Budapest and almost halfway back from Komarno, where the counter-of- mensive began last Monday.
 At the same time, second srnorrd sr"a~hAe@ farther to the eepa carrie ix-day, 22-milc ag'Taa-f Cp iiy kirts of Bicske, E uttss .zae;N of U capital, and be" teg 9olni E ir Russian strong" llolG.
 Late dispatches said furious fight ang was in progress at Bicke and south of EsztergoIn, where out numbered Soviet armored and artil' lery forces ground the Nazi ad- vances to temporary halt last night.
 Red Army dive bombers and artil- Iery took terrific toll of the Panzer SpearheadS, knocking out 88 tanks Saturday and 69 more Sunday, run ming the enemy's losses to more than 300 tanks since the start of the week-old counter offensive. In ad- dition, more than l 400 NaziS were killed yesterday in the fighting west of the capital.
 Meanwhile, a grave threat to the Germans left flank was developing in the north, where powerful units of the Second Ukrainian army broke out of their narrow bridgehead on the west bank of the Kron river and advanced 12 miles to take Madar, II miles northeast of Kom- arno. Capture of Komarno would lop off one of the main supply and communications centers of the Nazi relief army moving on Budapest.
 Inside Budapest itself, the battle

New York Or Washington
 Buzz Bomb Attack Likely
(Army Radiotelephoto from NEA Telephoto)

An East Coast Port, Jan. 8-(UP) Admiral Jonas II. Ingram, Oom- mander r-in-chief of the Atlantic Fleet, said today that 1t was pos sible and probable that New York City or Washington will be hit by Buzz bombs within the next 90 or 60 days
 Ingram said Admiral Ernest J. King, naval commander in chief of the U. s. Fleet, concurred with him in the possibility and probability" of the attack and that Admiral King had approved today's warn- ing
 Ingram said he would take charge of coastal defenses of New York and Washington and tlat he had moved plenty of forces" to take every possible precaution against the attack.
 He said the bombs would come in one of three ways:
 CD Surface ship;
 @ Submarine;
 (0 Long range planes.
 Tie Sdlu JEe DOlupS WOulu INOp~ ably be smaller than the V-one or V-two launched against Great Brit ain. He said the greatest danger to expect was from fires, and that the bombs were not expected to serious ly damage any large buildings.
 He warned against panic which he said could increase the damage.
 The next alert will be the real Mccoy" he said.
 The danger area, he said, was in a 300 mile arc from which either New York or Washington could be hit. He said the Germans had 300 submarines "at least in the At lantic and that the navy was pre- pared to keep them from coming clcse enough to fire, or to stop them before they fired very many bombs. He said six or eight subs would be needed to bomb New York.
 T consider that adequate meas" ures have been taken to protect New York and Washington he said.

For ModeI Planes

While other El Centrans talk
about recreation for juveniles, Har-
ry Hamerslough organized such a
program and is carrying it along
with increasing success.
Hamerslough is having gas mod
el airplane contest at the Imperial

which adult and youthful model
airplane enthusiasts may compete
for prizes.
Prizes will be given for the long
est flight on 20 second motor run
The first prize will be an OhlSson

SO cash, the third IS in cash, and
the BOBBY prize is secret. A special
prize viii be awarded for the best
looking plane. Models to compete
will be displayed at CTS Main street,
from July to July Z. Contestants
may sign up any time at that ad-
dress.
Asked how he happened to think
of the contest, Hamerslough said
someone had to provide recreation

would do his part. Since many adults
are enthusiastic about model air.

VULNERABLE SYSTEM
ON FOOD COUPONS

There probably is no system of ex-
change wherein specie or coin or cou-
pom necessary that is not proof against
forgery, counterfeiting or manipulation.
But the food rationing coupon system
plainly is peculiarly wide open for
crooks.
Theft has been easy. Counterfeiting
has been so extensive as to threaten the
entire plan, while other loopholes for
chiselers and cheaters have been appar-
ent and widely used from the start. Dis
covery of the circulation of millions of
counterfeit coupons in Los Angeles alone
is amazing. For some reason the same
conditions do not apply in Britain and
our system Of rationing is similar, in
fact, it is copied more or less from the
one used there since the war started.
1t is too late to change the whole Sc

UPPER DARBY, Pa, June %

be some time before the ship is
available for civilian use. He said
it would cost considerably more

for landing aircraft under extreme

a CASE AGAINST
PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION

In June 23rd issue of Saturday Eve
4 ming Post appears an article captioned,
Ny Case Against Progressive Educa-
tion," which every Ell Centre parent will
find both interesting and educational.
In fact, every parent anywhere in the u.
e S. A. should read this comment by one
William Owen, Michigan school prin-
cipal, because what this teacher says
about modern education methods, may
confirm many hesitant parents sus
picions of the training his or her chill
i.dren are receiving.
Teacher Owen says in effect, that much
Of this modern progressive education is
pure bunk, and that the wise teacher is
turning back toward the olden methods
providing for proper discipline in school
room and student habits.
He condemns the REIMBURSEMENT of
control in the schoolroom, the practice
of promoting students whether their
scholastic application warrants it or not,
the development of classes of youths
living not as cooperative citizen groups,
but as individuals of unchecked selfish
interests" and producing youths who
disregard any kind of authority.
Those things with which Mr.. Owen
finds fault probably will be revealed as
the very things to which many a parent
also finds fault 1t is more difficult for
parents to define the issues because the
:average parent is not trained in child
educational methods. For them, Mr..
sOwen, indeed, words their case very well.
: 1t is to be hoped that what the author
terms swing toward more sensible edu-
.cational methods will prove factual,
.rapd and definite. Each year that
spasses with it's annual crop of children
,moving forward with poor foundations
Eof knowledge, educational habit, and per-
:sonal discipline means just that many
:.more persons needlessly being trained
snot to fit into twentieth century life but
TO "revert toward the savage state"

President Truman will go we'll pre-

Notice that it is the Big Three and not

If General de Gaulle of France ever

MOVING ARMIES BY RAIL

(Christian Science Monitor.)
1t is not an idle superlative which the
Office of Defense Transportation uses
when it says the transcontinental move
ment of the American armies, en- route
from Europe to the Pacific area, will be
the largest transportation job in history.
Fully three million men are to be brought
across the Atlantic, given furloughs, and
then moved by rail to Pacific ports.
The ODT warns that so per cent fewer
Pullman cars will be available for civil
ians for the ensuing 10 months after
August l. Despite the fact that nearly
half of the fleet Of approximately 5000
sleeping-cars even now is in military use,
plus the war-built "troop-sleepers,' mill
tary demands will require voluntary
"rationing' of travel. 1t is planned to
bring 100000 men into East Coast ports
each month. This means an average of
10000 day. At least $50 sleepers of
all types will be needed daily to move
them westward. If the cars consume
eight days for the round trip, 1000 sleep
ers must be in constant service until the
movement is completed
For eastern roads, the task will not be
too difficult, but as these trains con-
verge upon the six or eight western
roads, all but two of which are single
track, the problem- intensified by heavy
freight movements s-will become major
burden. But the railroads will do the
job. And civilians must help by keep
ing off the trains.

WAITING FOR ORDERS

Our hardest job now is waiting
to see what is going to become of
us and it may not happen for sew
eral weeks or we might find out
any day Our war lords hate to
free us regardless of an overload
of men. 1t looks bad fer an eager
general to be short of men. If
France, England, China, ard what
GIs we already have in the Pacific
can't handle the Japs there is
something wrong
THE Japs haven't the resources,
the slave labor, nor scientific fight
ing ability that the Germans had.
Politics is a strange thing, you
know. The kids just coming into
the army can handle this army OF
occupation easy enough and can
have good time during their years
training.
This notwithstanding thing is
quite joke and only to fine the
fellows and stick the change in
their pockets. 1 don't think the
government ever gees any of it.
What effect it has on civilians
hasn't been discovered yet. Haven't
received mail for several weeks but
it should catch me soon.

OPA Announces
Grape Ceilings
For Two States

WASHINGTON, June 90. CUP)-
The CPA has announced ceiling
prices for California juice grapes
and for Arizona and California ta-
BILE grapes.
The new prices, effective June "a,
will result in an average retail CELL
ing price of about 13 cents a pound
for table grapes. However, the retail
ceiling price of table grapes grown
in Riverside, Imperial County, or
the Borego valley area of San Diego
county, Calf, will be slightly high
er, OPA said.
The action means reduction in
ceiling prices for wine and brandy
made from California grapes, OPA
said.
FOR FIRST TIME
The order brought California
juice grapes under price control for
the first time. Arizona and Califor-
MIA table grapes, however, were sold
under price ceilings for a few
months last year.
The ceiling price for juice grapes
grown in California packed in lug
boxes with net weight of SO pounds
or more, were set at 50 lug, coun-
try shipping point, for the entire
season.
Table grapes grown in the three
California areas and in Arizona
were given price ceiling of $500 a
lug, minimum net weight "a pounds.
Table grapes grown elsewhere in
California received ceiling prices es-
tabliShed on seasonal basis to re-
fleet normal seasonal price patterns
and to allow for storage costs after
November 10, OPA said.
The ceilings for lugs with a net
weight of % pounds or over were:
i Beginning of season through Aug.
10, $2.40; Aug. IL to Nov 10, S1.65;
Nov. IL to Dec. 10, S190; Dec. II to
end of season, $22O.
Ceilings for sales of California
juice grapes delivered to wholesale
receiving points were So for a &C.
pound lug plus freight from Bakers
field, Calf, and protective service
allowances.

Ell Centro city councilmen are to be
commended upon their action in for

splaces.
The ordinance, proposed at recent

asage at an adjourned session next week,
Should go far to improve conditions. and
Ito guarantee the best possible protection
:for the public in the future 1t will hook
.up Ell Centro with other communities in
the county in a uniform system of pro-
.cedure and enforcement both as to pro-
sper protection for foods sold in the raw,
ssuch as vegetables and fruits, and as to
sthe physical fitness of all persons hand
ling these foods for sale.
:" Too much attention cannot be given
sanitation where food is concerned. Car
,tons, packages and cans have gone far
.to insure purity and cleanliness, but
there still is large part of food that
smust be handled in the bulk and it is
TO these items that the new regulations
.will give added protection.
|. Under the requirements for physical
examinations of food vendors, in mar
skets and eating places, another forward
.step in health measures will have been
,taken when the ordinance becomes effec-
tive
