Escape Route
To
Six-Mile Gap
Two Key Road Centers Ex-
pected To Fall To Re- i,
surgent Yanks Il

PARIS, Tuesday, Jan. o.
(UP)-The Germans began
retreating on a 30-mile Ar
dennes front Monday after
grinding pressure by the U.
S. First Army which captur-
ed nine more Belgian towns
and in synchronized advances
with the northbound Third
Army left the enemy only a
six mile wide corridor
through the bulge ripped by
thousands of American guns.
The First Army, in gains up to
two miles, drove within five miles
of the Houffalize-St. Hubert road
and the Third Army, gaining three
miles at some points during the
day, reached within one mile OF
that vital artery at point to the
southwest. Paradoxically, the two
armies still stood 10 miles apart
due to their separate routes OF
advance.
Two key road centers in the
bulge appeared on the verge Of
falling to me resurgent American
forces. Units Of the First Army's
82nd Airborne Division battled to
the edge of Vielsalm, seven miles
south of Stavelot, along the west
bank of the Salm river. Infantry
on the east flank of the Third Army
drove to the Wilt river just OPP
posite the Luxembourg junction OF
Wilt, 10 miles southeast of Bas-
togne.
In one of the most formidable
artillery displays in modern his
tory, the Third Army alone had
been battering away for IL days
at German positions and move
ments within the bulge with thou
sands of guns ranging from three
inches to eight inches in size. This
vast firepoWer was concentrated
on a 35-square-mile area between
Bastogne and Wiltz.
AS Marshal Won Rundstedts
greatest winter gamble backfired,
Seventh Army Yanks eased the
threat along the upper Rhine by
chopping off the northern end OF
the bridgehead above Strasbourg
and to the west cleared the vital
Haguenau-Saarbrucken road:
French troops stemmed an at
tack toward Strasbourg from the
Colmar pocket to the south after
il had penetrated within Is miles of
the Alsatian city while the enemy
bridgehead across the Mas IN
eastern Holland was disclosed to
have been long standing and not
new threat.
While a blizzard blotted out di-
rect air support on the Ardennes
front, the First Tactical Air Force
flew go flights in support OF Al
lied counter measures along the
Rhine near Strasbourg, infllctlng
telling blows on the two German
bridgeheads.

Joined the battle of the bulge to-

more than 900 American bombers
and fighters blasting enemy trans
portation targets from a point Il
miles northeast of Bastogne wes1
to Frankfurt on the Main.
Striking at a German traffic jam
in the bulge officially described
as the worst in this war, the aerial
heavyweights heaped destruction
on two targets near the German
frontier. third farther south just
across the Luxembourg border and
fourth within Is miles of Bas--
togne, the heart of the German
salient.
The days raids marked the first
time that American heavy bombers
from Britain had raided the Bel
gium-Luxembourg area in strength
although once before in a critical
phase of the battle some forma-
lions had struck equally close to
front line ground troops IN the
salient.
Other formations in the raiding
fleet of 700 heavyweights and zoo
esorting fighters smashed other
road and rail functions in Germany

Bastogne.
The raiders attacked in tenpera

were unopposed by the Luftwaffe,

so rough and thick that at times
during the flight they couldn't see

Admiral Ingram Tells Pub
lie Not To Become
Alarmed

AN EAST COAST PORT,
Jan. s. (UP) New York,
Washington, or other East
Coast cities may be subject
ed to German robot bomb
attacks within 80 to 60 days,
Admiral Jonas H. Ingram,
COMMUNICATIVE of the At
lantic Fleet, announced today.
I'VE know and feel that within
the next 30 to go days the Ger
mans will make some buzz bomb
attempts on New York or Washing
ton OF other coastal cities" he
said. LET 'em come. We are ready
to meet the situation. My sugges'
ton to the people of New York
and these coastal cities is not to
become alarmed. l want them to
know the Army and Navy are CO.
operating in every way possible
and have developed the best posi-
BILE defense.
II don't think there is anything
to worry too much about. They
might try to hit the Empire State,
may kill a few people and cause
some damage. But they won't be
able to launch more than 10 or IL
robot bombs"
The Navy Department in Wash
ington tonight commented Indirect
ly on Admiral Migrants remarks
by referring to a statement issued
last November which said that
it was entirely possible but not
very probable that the enemy
would resort to such long-distance
attacks. Admiral Ernest j. King,
naval commander-in-chief, also had
termed robot bomb attacks pos
siblebut not probable
In its November statement, the
Navy had said:
cit is extremely doubtful that
such attacks could entirely elude
allied sea and air patrols. Reason
able measures are in force to pro-
tect the country. However, as mas
previously been stated with respect
to the possibility of sporadic enc
my air attacks on our shores, 1T
is impossible to insure that such
an attack will be completely frus-
trated."
The Eastern Defense Command
of the Army refused to comment
on the warning, but it was learned
that Civil Defense authorities all
along the coast were warned OF
the possibility of robot bomb at

Enemy Claims
Hint OF Great
Fight In Area
Allies Silent On Story OF
A Division Already
Landed

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 8.
(AP)--A japanese broadcast
recorded by NBC and Blue
Network tonight said "ene-
nv forces which have invad-
ed Lingayen Gulf are esti-
mated to number one dlvl-
sion" leaving unclear wheth-
or these troops were put
ashore there or were mere
ly aboard a convoy offshore.
NBC after playing back the re-
cording said the two possible
meanings could be read into the
report. In its original dispatch NBC
INTERPRETED the broadcast to mean
an actual landing had taken place.
Some doubt was evidenced upon
the playback, and further attempts
TO monitor Tokyo were unsuccess-
ful due to atmospheric conditions.
Allied sources have not con-
firmed the report
Neither network recording specl-
fed exact landing spots.
This report, strongly suggesting
the big showdown fight for the
Philippines is on in full fury, fol-
lowed enemy broadcasts of the
past few days that $50 American
transports were moving toward
Luzon Island behind 10 Warships
which dueled for two days with
Lingayen shore batteries.
Gen. Douglas MacArthurs latest
communique told of aerial assaults
on central and southwest Luzon, in
GLIDING the Manila sector but
made no mention of air attacks on
the Lingayen scene, where the
japanese originally invaded the
Philippines.
A landing in the Lingayen Gulf
area would put MacArthur's men
anywhere from 10 to $50 miles
north of Manila in country suited
for mechanical warfare.

somewhere around $4,000 or more.

CIO Body To Back
Peacetime Draft

Madison, Wis. QLNS).-The So
called left-wing of the Congress of
Industrial Organizations in this state
has issued a statement advocating
peacetime military conscription.
Their position is contrary to that
of the Wisconsin State Federation of
Labor. George Haberman, federation
president, indicated his opposition
when he signed statement of a
Wisconsin Committee Opposed to
Peacetime Conscription.
Lining up with the Communist Po-
litical Association of Wisconsin, the
Wisconsin State Industrial Union
Council, CIO state labor body, said
that it "voted faith in compulsory
military training after war because
such training as part of nation
firmly treading democratic paths
would be an asset to strengthening
democratic channels and maintaining
peace and could not be termed die
tatorial measure"
Leaders of the United Automobile
Workers and other CIO organizations

tion here pointed out, have organized

Pathology


The pathological picture of sill
COSTS in men engaged in the ceramic
industry is somewhat different from
that in hard rock miners. Due to eX-
posure to high concentrations of dust
containing high percentages of silica
of varying degrees Of solubility and
very small particle size, these men
are subject to relatively rapid type
of silicosis, which sets up an acute
inflammation Of the lung substance,
especially in the walls of the air sacs.
The percentage of immature LESSONS
is very high. Large conglomerate
areas are found in the upper lobes Of
the older workers. These are mas
sive LESSONS of fibrosis in the pa
renchyma of the lung itself or in the
pleura. AS the deep lymphatic struc-
lures of the lungs become blocked,
the dust cells laden with silica mi
CRATE to the pleura and it is not un-
common to find a pleural membrane
which has a thickness of one-quarter
to half an inch and is entirely fixed
to the inner chest wall by adhesions.
The massive LESSONS found in the
upper lobes in our series Of cases are
not present in the simple silicosis Of
the hard rock miners of Ontario. Due
to the efficient dust control at On
tario mines, the overwhelming con-.
centrations of silica dust have been
reduced to such am extent as to pro
hibit the formation of these large
fibrotic areas.
Autopsy studies reveal that, in
Pennsylvania, it is not uncommon for
workman to die of simple silicosis
Active tuberculosis was found in
80 per cent of our autopsies. Since
the presence of tuberculosis in mass
surveys is low, we anticipate low
ering of our autopsy incidence as the
number of these studies increases.
Symptoms
In our first series of cases we
treated SO men. A survey of these
revealed the following symptoms:
() Cough Found in all workmen
with disability. 1t was present at all
times of the day, but particularly in
the early morning and at night, and
was aggravated by exercise.
(2) Shortness Of Breath-Present
in all workmen.
CD Tightness in Chest-Found in
all workmen with disability and was
aggravated by exercise. Pain in the |
chest was present in a small percent
