Public pressure appears to be
breaking through the 5talemate
that for many months has held up
congressional action on Perma-
nent FEPC,' said the National
Council for a Permanent FEPC
in a special message to it's affili-
ates released today.
Assurances of Republican lea-
dership in House and Senate that
efforts would be made to precipl.
tate floor action soon after the
turn of the year were revealed in
the message.
In the Senate the Council announ
ced, a group of Republican Sen
ators intends to undertake an ag-
gressive role to force the issue to
the floor of the Senate at the first
opportunity. TINS leadership group
includes Senators Wayne Morse,
Oregon; Joseph Ball. Mimi; Fl
Alexander Smith, N. j; Milton r.

Loss 10 Germans
BY the Associated Press.

Strongly fortified CoblenZ, at the
confluence of the Rhine and Moselle
Rivers, is one of the greatest prizes
yet reached on the western front
because of its command of highway,
rail and river traffic.
Another American Sd Army oc-
cupied the city of 58,322 from 1918
until January "a. 1923. when colors
finally were struck from the sullen
fortress of Ehrenbreitstein, which
overlooks Coblenz from across the
Rhine.
The strategic city is the capital of
Prussian Rhine Province. 1t lies
40 miles southeast of Cologne. Al
northwest of Mainz, rs from Lud-
wigshafen and Mannheim and 100
from Karlsruhe-all Rhine cities.
Romans Fortified City.
The Romans first fortified Co.
blenz. reputed to be the most beau
tiful city on the Rhine. 1t centers
great wine district. It's sprawling
rail yards handled $500 cars daily
before the bombers came; its river
port teemed with commerce.
The Rhine is from 900 to 1900
feet wide, and the Moselle is 900 to
900 feet across. Most of the city
lies on the Rhine's west bank, pro-
tected by the Moselle.
In the World War as now, the
French, American and British
troops were arrayed on the western
front from south to north. French
occupation headquarters were at
Mainz. The British used Cologne.
One of the American Junior off,
GERS at Coblenz in 1918 was Hugh
J. Gaffey, Austin, Tex. Gaffey now
is the handsome, white haired ma
ior general whose 4th Armored Divi-
sion cut the way for the break
through to Coblenz. The blue
eyed former cavalry officer was chief
OF staff to 1t. Gen. George S. Pat
ton. jr., of the Sd Army, in North
Africa and Sicily.
Rhineland Republic Collapsed.
The United States Sd Army which
occupied Coblenz in 1918 was
formed especially for the occupa-
tion and was commanded by Maj
Gen Henry T. Allen.
In October, 1923, separatists in
Coblenz proclaimed Rhineland
Republic and declared that they
had been recognized as de facto
government by the French high
commissioner. The movement col
lapsed in the following February.
Emperor Henry II gave the city
to the Archbishop of Trier in lois
and it remained under the Triel
archbishops until the close of the
18th century. Troops of the French
Revolutionary army took Coblenz in
1894 and in 1914 it was occupied by
the Russians. The Congress o1
Vienna assigned it to Prussia. Prince
Metternich, the Austrian statesman
was born in Coblenz in 1773.

A UNITED STATES 9TH AIR
FORCE FIELD IN GERMANY
Mar. IT. American airmen now
are attacking Germany from Amer
ican-built bases on German soil.
German territory east of the
Rhine is just a short jump now to
the swarms of fighters and fighter
bombers which ceaselessly are blast
ing German installations a few
yards to a few miles ahead of the
ground troops.
Getting the ground end of their
operations anchored on German soil
was an historic event for American
airmen and there was a short. breezy
ceremony on this damp. chilly field.
Aside from air force personnel,
the only witnesses were a few cor
respondents, two girls of a Red
Cross clubmobile and a half dozen
German civilians who leaned on
shovels. The Germans, paid and
reasonably contented employees of
the Americans, now are filling in
trenches they dug for the Nazis.
This is cherries, primative
spot but it has everything essential
for conducting intensive air at
tacks. Officers from the rank of
major general on down surveyed

hole in the wall and the Germans
came running out.
The German automatic mortar
is complicated machine.
1t. Pat Lynch of the l02nd Divi-
sion, whose father used to Judge
prize fights in New York CITY,
helped capture one which cost
lot OF American casualties before its
operator was silenced.
1T was in the upper story of a
house" 1t Lynch related. The
man who fired it sat on a regular
bicycle seat and operated levers to
control its aim and speed. Shells
came in from another room on
conveyor belt and the machine could
fire 120 shots a minute. It didn't
heat up either. because mortar shells
don't heat up barrels the way other
fire does.
That joker sat up there like
he was running a steam shovel in a
vacant lot off Times Square. 1t
cost a lot of men to get him out Of
there, too"
Enemy Machine Gun Fires Faster.
Many American automatic weap-
ons men feel that their machine
gun is superior to the Germans, al
though the enemy model fires twice
as fast, is water cooled, has an auto
matte search device and the gunner
can change barrels faster when
necessary.
One reason advanced for the su-
periority of German mines and
BOBBY traps is that, except for the
Ardennes breakthrough, the Ameri-
cans have been fighting an offensive
war and have not had to concentrate
on defensive methods.
1t is pretty well established here
that the German jet plane can run
away from anything we have in COM
bat in the skies. There is not time
enough left, however, for the Ger
mans to produce them in effective
quantity and another factor is that
the jets cannot fly in formation
But some of those they do have

WITH THE UNITED STATES
9TH ARMY, March 1.-THE Ameri-
can soldier on the western front
believes that the Germans have
many weapons besides tanks which
are superior to his own.
Next to the King Tiger tank in
performance comes the German 88-
millimeter gun, which is one of the
best in the war. In addition the
Germans have excellent bazookas,
automatic mortars, mines, BOBBY
traps and faster shooting machine
guns. They also have formidable
jet airplanes, buzz-bombs and
rocket weapons.
One reason for this is that the
Germans prepared for this war
many years before the American
factories were geared to war pro-
duction. German armor was wreck
ing Europe when the United States
decided to produce one modern
tank.

flattening out their dual purpose
anti-aircraft 88s and pummeling
the American Infantry positions
and knocking out two columns of
tanks.
Early Sherman tanks came over
seas equipped with 75-millimeter
gun and later with a 76 American
tank crews watched their shots
bounce off the Tiger tanks while
our Shermans might be wrecked by
one direct hit from an 88.
The German bazooka is bigger
and shoots a heavier charge than
the American.
