Dresden lay 68 miles or less
ahead of the southern arm of ko-

while the Germans said the north

miles of Berlin.
In between lay an ill-def.ned
pocket or pockets of bypassed
towns, including surrounded Clio

circled.
Importance of the drive through

Fail To Dent Allied
Wedge !"

PARIS, Feb. 14.--(P-While ale
most 5000 Allied warplanes batter
ed German installations from the
Siegfried Line to the Russian front
today, British and Canadian forces
lunged nearer Hitler's industrlally
vital Ruhr Valley against resistance
that began to slacken after a week
of steady pressure.
The Canadians advanced all
along the front of their powerful
wedge which is inflexibly turning
the flank of German divisions hold
ing the northern end of the Sleg-
fried Line and the Rhine plain
They pushed to points northeast
of Kleve, four miles southeast OF
Kleve, cleared the Kleve forest
three miles north of Goch and
established a second bridgehead
over the Niers river, west of Kes-
sci.
The German command hurled az
least four counterattackS against
the Canadian units driving east
ward, but they were officially de-
scribed as generally lighter than
previous coupterthrust and all
were repulsed, some with the aid
of Allied planes.
Allied vanguards, muddy and
tired from terrific effort of the past
week, stood and cheered as wave
upon wave of fighters and fighter
bomberS tore into the attacking
Nazis and magnificently-aimed ar
tillery sent sheets of steel through
the enemy's ranks.
Under this terrible assault, the
German infantry and armor broke,
and tonight apparently was pulling
back into prepared positions under
logged pressure by Montgomery
men.
For once the weather was aginst
the Germans. Brilliant, springlika
sunshine flooded the battle zone as
the enemy launched his counter
attacks, enabling Allied planes ia
take to the air in the greatest num-
bers since the Canadians opened
their push west of Kleve last week.
One Allied column was fighting
forward within a mile and half
of the heavily road center
C Goch, eight miles south of Kleve.
Goch already was outflanked by
the capture of Bedburg and Has.
self, twin towns east of Kleve.
Another road center, Calcar, was
the objective of other British troops
who neared Moyland, three miles
TO the northwest. Moyland is Ia
miles from the important RUBY
Valley city of Vessel.

French Election
Washington Post

Those who have been alarmed by what they feared was Communist drift in France should be treasured by the results of Frances cantona elections They make clear that the Communists are only just about holding their and in some regions, notably the Paris area where their strength always great, have begun to slip back somewhat
 The results of the bailoting not yet complete, and won't be far some days, since in about half of the 3028 cantons which votes cast candidates failed to secure a clear majority. In those cantons un-of elections will have to be held Elsewhere the greatest gathers were not the Communists but the Socialists As against Communist gains of 65 seats in the departmental councils, the Socialists gained l43 places. new party, the so-called MRP tPopular Republican Movement of whose leaders is Foreign Minister Bidault, emerged with 106 seats. On the ether hand the greatest losers were the Radical Socialists Cwho either radical socalistc) and such right-wing parties as the Republican Left and the Democratic Alliance.
 The elections revealed that despite the war, the habit of political atomizaon, with great variety of parties entering the lists, is still strong in France There IA recognizable groups parties presenting candidates in the cantona baoting. But even this fact does not begin tell the whole story of political dversificaton in Europe Within each of the parties CT groups many shades of difference to be recog nzed and fewer than go of the elected councillors ran as independents One important consequence of the elections may be strengthen General de Gaues hand since the parties that suffered the heaviest losses such the Radical Socialists have baen among the strongest critics of his referendum plan.

The W ashington Merry -Go Round

tery, Commander at Banana River, Fla, had useo Navy planes on various junkets to arrange for an adrnirals' Clam Bake" on the British island of Cat Cay.
 Capt. Slattery is anxious to have enlisted men remain in the Navy and recently suppressed an issue of the base newspaper Banana Peel ings" because it contained opinions by men and junior officers against remaining in the Navy.
 It now develops that Capt. Stat tery has other reasons besides air plane pleasure-ride for liking the Navy. He also has had the use of an athletic specialist as a glorified nursemaid to take care of his chil- dren.
 Athletic specialists are generally used for rehabilitating veterans who have suffered loss of legs or arms. But Capt. Slattery used 2-c Athletic Specialist Robert Beal to take care of his two sons all sum- mer. Now that school has started, athlete Beal works only half-time.
 However. he is on call by the captain either morning or after noon which means that he is prac- tically on full time call. Beal has at his disposal a pickup truck on which he has No. l priority. Also at the chiidren's disposal are the facilities of the boat house and the rifle range where the athletic specialist takes them shooting
 If other Navy men could get similar privileges perhaps they'd stay in the Navy too.

INDEPENDENCE CITY HALL

President Truman's home town, Independence, Mo, was quite elated over the recent report that it's post office is eligible to be modernized and enlarged through the expendi- ture of S390,000, if Congress ap- proves requested Sl93, 100000 for government buildings. But that isn't the main thing Independence is hoping for.
 Actually, Independence wants a new post office. Such a grant would solve two problems-one for Edgar c. Hinde, Postmaster, who wants adequate facilities to handle the postal business he says has tripled during the past few years. The other problem is some place to house the towns city administra- tion.
 What Mayor Roger T. Sermon and the city fathers need is new city hall. For some time, therefore, Mayor Sermon has had his eye on the old post office building as a city hall And the mayor, who several years ago bolted the old Pendergast machine to organize his own Democratic Party in rural Jackson County, usually gets what he wants.

nounced that he would resign, but hasn't fixed definite date.
 AS a result, every time letter bearing Chandier's frank on the outside arrives at Governor Willis office, it is bounced upon and im- mediately opened. Happy has sent a lot of less important mail to the Governor, and apparently gets a lot of fun over this suspense. For the other day he sent Governor Willis a letter, and on the outside of the envelope he wrote: This is not it."
 However, the date has now been fixed. Turbulent, happy go lucky A. B. Chandler, who caused Roose- welt to make IT rear-platform speeches through the length and breadth of Kentucky to prevent him from defeating Dear Alben" Barkley in 1888, and who caused all sorts of New Deal money to flood the state to aid Barkley, will resign from the seat which he once coveted, effective Oct, 3l, 1945.
 CONGRESS ABSENTEEISM
 Most Washington visitors are anxious to see Congress in session. However, the majority come away scratching their heads, wondering how Congress gets anything done at all
 The other day, two hours after the session got underway, the gall leries of the House of Representa- tives were moderately crowded However the floor was as devoid of Congressmen as Speaker Ray burns head is barren of hair.
 Rayburn, seated in the presiding officers chair, seemed little ashamed of the poor attendance. Out of 435 members of the House, exactly five were in the chamber, three Republicans and two Demo- crats. One of the Democrats was

VETERAN EXPENDITURES

Ours is rich country undenably. Yet rich as it is it cannot thrive if most of it's people taxed lavshy to support smaller groups of the population We can well afford to pay all the taxes needed to maintain public services. But paying subsidies to population groups is a costly business.
 We are going to face similar problem in respect to outlays for war veterans if not careful in shaping policy Obviously, we must take good care of wounded in service and others suffering in consequence of their military service. We must take better care of them than have done thus far
 But we cannot afford to be lavish in giving assistance to veterans simply because they vet erans This is particularly true because the numbers of veterans will be large. During World War this country mobilized total of 47l9172 men That many were the uniform of of the armed services.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 29

This is not an important day in planetary government. It is auspic- ious for finishing business projects or negotiations. Final Windups of war contracts are under good dir ection of the stars.
 HEART AND HOME
 In the home, work relating to re- pairs or refurnishing should be successful under this configuration Plans for the future are under a promising sway College girls should specialize in vocations most women will now follow wage-earning careers after marriage.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Records of the war just ended will show large savings of workers who received good wages The seers predict that there will be much lighter relief load due to unemploy- ment than experts estimated.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 In the greatest era of world his- tory the United States finds itself the strongest power on the globe and must accept gigantic responsibilities. Those who criticize the Government for it's generosity to nations most ravaged by long conflict are blinded by corrupting selfishness, the seers warn.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Transatlantic and tranSpacific travel will continue to be heavy as thousands of American civilians are sent to Europe and Asia. Our tech- nical and professional experts will contribute greatly to the rapid re- covery of devastated countries. China may suffer from a cholera epidemic Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of perplexing changes. Novel occupations will be profitable.
 Children born on this day will be affectionate and attractive, but pos itive to the point of stubbornness They will have unusual talents. Copyright 1945)

And that about per cent of the whole popula- tion
 During War II something like 15OO0OOO men and women have been mobilized in all That is about Il
 per cent of the total population the first 20 years following World War I the taxpayers of the United States paid $7,57262l 751 ill cash benefits alone, to veterans of that The cost is rising. This year veteran expenditures will come approximately to S2,607 100000.
 We should try to give generous help to those who have suffered handicaps of permanent or con- tinung nature. We should also help returning vet erans to make up the education they have missed and to get reestablished in life. But we should take care to avoid subsidzing such Any other policy will entail disastrous and wholly needless burden

WHY MEN LEAVE NAVY

Worried about the failure of men and officers. to remain in the Navy, Secretary of the Navy Forrestal recently put out an order to Naval separation centers to interview the next 100 reserve officers who came up for discharge. The result showed bitter resentment en the part of reserve officers against the An napolis clique Here are some in- terviews quoted verbatim:
 '9The only reason I would join the Navy again would be if I were starving"
 Its mighty late for the Navy to try to sell itself to reservists."
 T think the officers of the regu- lar Navy are grasping, pushing and self-centered"
 'sThe attitude of the majority of Annapolis officers to reseryists is that they are to be endured only for the time being"
 "Tbe Annapolis grads should cast aside their childish attitude"
 Perhaps the bitterest comment came from a reserve officer who in civilian life had been a profess sor at the University of North Carolina When interviewed by the discharge officer as to what he thought of the Navy, he replied :: [ "One skipper, a regular Navy officer, was drunk and missed his ship. I was forced to take the ship into battle Was anything done to him? No He was an Annapolis graduate

Benefic aspects rule today but there are certain adverse planetary influences. Labor may face diverse problems.
 HEART AND HOME
 Women are well directed today which should bring them serenity and confidence. Their greatest in- terest is in the home and they should avoid public gatherings, ex- cept those for religious observance. Girls should remember that many returning servicemen have gllmpsed the spiritual when in danger and that they will respond to serious thinkers.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 As this month ends there should be optimism in the business world. Speedy reconversion will prove that fears of serious unemployment prob iems are unfounded There are DOT tents of later increase in the num- Der fo jobless. The good fortune of the United States will continue. i
 NATIONAL ISSUES ar
 The Communistic bugaboo will frighten a few Americans but while radical ideas will be prevalent the stars presage unchanging adherence to free competition and individual effort. A certain amount of Gov iernment cooperation will be neces-- sary but there will be no dictator ship.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Russia, which has kept it's pacts with the United Nations, will demon- strate a postwar realism that as sures absolute loyalty to peace terms This nation, which has sustained heavy losses will need gen. erous aid this winter.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of many bless ings, chiefly good health. They should be successful in the next few months.
 Children born on this day will re- quire wise training; they will ex- pect the most of life and may be given to constant demands.

In a far corner, another Republican sat whispering with Senator White of Maine, COP leader, who had come over from the Senate for a visit. The other Republican and the other Democrat sat reading the afternoon papers.
