Marshall Silent On Call For

Measure

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-
(AP)-With DIRECTORS still

sors of an 18-45 labor draft
TODAY sought to enlist agrl-

monv that it should aid farm

The timetable which had called
for House military Commute ap-
proval today was thrown over
board.
Another call for help-to General

in an effort to get specific Army
approval for the particular meas

been stated fully, and was re-em-

He did not, however, specifically
mention the pending measure in a

Today's testimony came from
Marvin Jones, War Food Admins
traitor, who endorsed the pending
May bill for coercive action against

Before calling in Jones, the COM

Allies Pick Up Winter Of.
fensive Cut Short By
The Enemy

PARIS, Friday, Jan. 10. -
! CAPITALIZED armies picked
up their winter offensive
Thursday where it was inter-
rupted by the Ardennes cam
paign and struck for the heart
of the Reich on a 115-mile
front, paced by British armor
in a new invasion of the
Rhineland, while the U. S.
Third Army launched a pow
erful attack in Luxembourg
pointed at Germany's Coblenz.
Another Third Army column
struck mile farther through the
Moselle Valley on Reich soil east
of Luxembourg despite strong
counter-attacks that temporarily
won back the town of Butzdofe.
1t. Gen. George S. Patton's Army
was closing on the Reich along a
35-mile front, fresh from its tri-
umphs in the Ardennes pocket and

new divisions.

new attack from just north OF Dutch

another was beating north between
the Mas and the frontier, extend
ing its gains in a thre-day drive
to four miles. Five towns were
seized in the latter drive, which
had hewn a deep wedge into the
German salient jutting into Hol-
land at Roermond.
Patton's Fourth and Fifth Infan-
try divisions launched the Third
Army's new attack, throwing six
bridgeheads across the Sure river
on either side of Diekirch, three
miles from the German border, in
advances of two miles along a TO-
mile stretch of the river.
The right flank of this drive took
the Third Army to the German
border near Hoesdorf, five miles
east of Diekirch. Other forces cap
tured the Luxembourg border city
of Rosport only six miles northwest
of the big German base at Trier.
Infantry battled into Diekirck itself
as well as the fortified town Of
Bettendorf, three miles to the east.
Two detachments Ct British COM
mandos crossed the eastern
Schelde estuary and raided Zierik-
see on Schouwen island in western
Holland and brought back prisoners
in a possible prelude to still other
offensive moves on the long-stabl-
liked Dutch flank.

drew into its last phase with U. S.

pie for public office.
Through years of research the
Institute for Straight Thinking has
analyZed many persons. AS a result
of this research ii has found a new
psychological law which shows one
how to judge and how to handle diff
ferent types of people. This law is
so simple that you do not have to be
a skilled technician or employ COM
plicated tests to arrive at judgments
which are sound in most instances.
Simply stated, the law says that
when a person is confronted with
a problem, the intelligence of his ac.
ton is dependent on three primary
factors: %
Il. Ability to solve the problem.
"2. Desire TO solve it.
"3 Capacity for handling the
human relations involved"
Using these three main points
ability, desire, and human relations
we can group all people into only
seven types, because there are only
seven combinations of three factors.
l. The "a" type-Strong on abil-
ity; weak on desire and human rela-
tions. l have a good friend, talented
advertising artist. When you walk
into his office, he never even looks
up. He has told me that every time
he works on an advertisement, he
feels that he's wasting his talents;
that he'd like TO do some great paint
ings, but he can't make living at it.
He's considered hard to handle and
he floats from one job to another.
l work well with this artist, be-
cause l know he belongs to this "a"
