crops essential to the war, until re-
placements are available for them.
Representatives from agricultural
districts fear the recent directive
will weaken the operation of that
law.
While the Military Affairs Com
mittee is seeking to perfect the
May-Bailey bill, designed to chan
mel deferred draft registrants from
nonessential jobs into war plants,
the House Agricultural Committee
also will meet in closed session to-
morrow morning to review the farm
labor problem. Chairman Flan-
nagan said his committee expects
to hear from War Food Admins
traitor Marvin Jones, Selective Serv-
ice Director Hershey and War Mo-
bilization Director Byrnes.
At the same time, the controversial
manpower problem may be brought
into the open on the floor of the
Senate this week, where several
members of the War Investigating
Committee are preparing to debate
the issue of whether nlanpower al
ready available in war plants is be-

Military Affairs Committee changed
the May-Bailey measure from a

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SUPREME ALLIED HEAD
QUARTERS, Paris, Jan. 20.-The
Russians sweeping ahead now even
tually will come up against solid
bstacles-the East Wall.
Little is known here about the
East Wall 1t runs from the Be-
hemian highlands to the Baltic
Sea and, in parts, runs along the
River Oder. It's construction is
said to be similar to the West Wall,
an almost endless series of pill
boxes and dragons teeth, but it
does not have the advantage of
such natural features as the West
Wall.
The Oder is not the Rhine. The
Oder runs mainly through fat
country and does not have hills
rising from its banks like the Rhine.
At the time the two walls We're
conceived, Hitler was extensively
minded toward the east and defen-
sively minded toward the west. The
West Wall was to hold back any
attack from the west while German
armies drove eastward
If he had held to his original plan,
he probably would have won the
war. If he had let the "phoney
war" drag on in the west, he might
have crushed Russia.
Since Hitler's eastern ideas were
offensive, it is likely that the East
Wall is not nearly so strong a bar
rier as the West Wall. But no one
here knows for certain.
There is practically no liaison be-
tween the western and the eastern
fronts. Two great hammers. are
slamming at Germany and,' al
though they have a common objec-
tive, the destruction of the Reich,
neither hammer knows much about
what the other is doing.
At least, not much is known here
about the Russians. High officials
at supreme headquarters learned
about the opening of the Russian
offensive when they read about it
i'm newspapers. 1t may be that the
Soviets are better informed about us

Yanks Capture Pass
After15-MiIe March
Behind Nazi Line
BY EDWARD d. BALL,


BELGIUM, Jan. 20.-The battle of
Learned's Gulch is over, and Ameri-
can infantry, not supposed to be
such great shakes at snow fighting
has added one for the books.
Until two days ago Learned's
Gulch was an unnamed, 2-mile-long
defile. Germans were perched firmly
atop 5000-foot-long rise COM
manding it, and a 1st Division bat
talon under 1t. Col Henry G..
Learned was going nowhere trying
to get through.
Then Col. Learned had an idea.
He asked and received permission
from the 30th Division on his right
to swing around and pass through
its lines to hit the Germans from
the rear. At 2:30 am. yesterday
part of the battalion began 15-
mile swing. leaving a small force
to keep shooting and making enough
noise to prevent the Germans from
learning what was happening.
Made Forced March.
BY night, through marrow
chilling snowsterm, Col. Learned's
men made a forced march, going
by truck part of the way, and
trudged through drifts sometimes
chest deep up the side of the rise.
The Germans did not know what
hit them. Those not killed were
stunned, incredulous, and surren-
dered. Then the same battalion
went on and captured Montenau,
at the other end of the def1le.
Now the defile is down on 1st
Division records as Learned's Gulch.
This battalions exploit was
matched by another LIST Division
battalion under 1t. Col Henry
Horner, Doylestown, Pa.
Col. Horner's men had been
thrown back when they moved
down a road from the northwest
and tried to take Schoppen. north
east of Montenau According to
orthodox military tactics, this was
the only way to take Schoppen.
Traffic Stopped.
But Col. Horner thought up some
wheeling tactics, though there
was a raging blizzard which had
stopped all vehicularl traffic, even
couriers.
Before daybreak, in the worst
conditions that Americans ever
fought under on this front, Col.
Horner sent company commanded
by Capt. Carl E. Wolf, Waterford,
Conn, over ridge and around the
town to take it from the rear. 1t
was hazardous maneuver, storming
an enemy-garrisoned town in pitch
darkness.
But the Americans found the en-
tire enemy garrison sound asleep.
Col. Horner's men are campaign
ing to rename Schoppen "Horner's
Corners"
