Allied Error Spurred
Reich, Goebbe|s SAYS
RY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. 5.-German Prop
aganda Minister GoebbelS yesterday
boasted in his first 1945 article in
Das Reich that Germany had sur
vived her hour of greatest trial.
and that one factor had been the
disastrous mistake committed by
the Allies of making public their
plans for destroying US
These plans have been distrib-
uted widely in Germany and every
German at the fronts carries then
with him as his war catechism," said
the article, as broadcast by Berlin
I'VE might lose all our belongings
we might lose our lives, but we will
never lose sight of this deadly dan
ger" he declared.
Goebbels credited German morale
thus spurred and Hitler's leader
ship with the Change in the war
situation which surprised the AL
lies"
Much sorrow and pain are in
store for u.s. he concluded Noun
tains of difficulties must be over
come. But we must under no cir
cumstances repeat the mistake of
our enemy-namely underestimate
the opponent."

Increasing Casualties
May Require Drafting
OF Nurses, Kirk Says

Increasing American casualties
have forced the Army to abandon
it's policy of sending all sick and
wounded soldiers returned from
overseas to hospitals near their
homes, and may make it necessary
to draft nurses, according to Maj.
Gen. Norman r. Kirk, Army sur
geon general.
Gen. Kirk reported that 10000 sick
and wounded soldiers were brought
back to the United States in De-
cember, four times as many as in
July.
He cited this increase in announc-
ing that it now is impossible to send
all returning patients to Army hos
pitals near their homes, as the Army
had tried to do in the past.
Appeals Go Unheeded.
Gen. Kirk commented on sugges-
tions that the critical Army nurse
shortage be relieved through con-
gressional action to draft nurses az
a meeting of hospital and public
health board members in New York
City last night.
1T looks as if this will be neces-
sary to meet the immediate need
for nurses he said.
He cited these factors as indicat-
ing need for a nurse draft:
A personal appeal was made to
| 27 900 nurses listed by the War
ManpoWer Commission as available
for duty. Only 760 answers were
received and of this number 227
nurses were obtained.
Eleven general hospital units were
sent overseas without nurses in De-
cember.
Treatment First Consideration.
In Percy Jones General Hospital,
Battle Creek, Mich, there were IS
Army nurses to care for 3,699 pa
tients, a ratio of l to 43.
In regard to placement Of sick
and wounded soldiers returning to
this country, Gen. Kirk said the
main issues. in order of Importance.
now are:
l. Where can the soldier get the
best treatment for his particular
case.
2 What hospitals offering special
lied treatment have facilities for adj
ditional patients.
3. What suitable and available
hospital is nearest the soldier S
home.

Longchamps, 3 miles north of Bas-
togne and Champs, miles northwest
of Bastogne. Despite the assaults,
the Americans scored a gain of a
mile around Gerimont, near Tlllet,
west of Bastogne.
Marshal Montgomery'S attack In
the Marche area at the northwest
ern tip of the enemy salient has
reached the village of Waha, Field
Reporter Roger D. Greene said in an
Associated Press dispatch today
Waha is south of Marche.
Other British units attacked the
Germans on the outskirts of newly
captured Bure and Wavreille, south
of Rochefort at the western end of
the salient.

Army has been driven off German
soil, villages changed hands time

Just gone on the offensive, were
rushed to the front at the first sign
of danger to Liege when Won Rund-
stedt launched his offensive and
backstopped American lines until
yesterday.
Six Allied and German armies thus
are now definitely committed to the
grinding battle being fought in drift
ing snow, fog and miserable terrain
some of the worst fighting con-
ditions of the war-and the Allied
assault on the German north flank
has been broadened to IS miles.
Escape Gap Reduced.
With slow, steady gains on the
north side of the salient, Gen
Hodges forces have whitfield down
the German escape gap between
Bastogne and Grandmenil to scarce
ly II miles.
Moving up under terrible condi-
tions in which tanks stalled on icy
slopes and slithered downhill, tear
ing out the telephone communica-
tions at the sides of the roads, Gen.
Hodges men had plowed forward
as much as 31a miles for their
maximum gain on front which ex-
tended from Beffe, 8 miles east of
Marche, to Bergeval, 4 miles south
west of Stavelot.
The Germans fought mainly from
frozen foxholes and solid positions,
while the doughboys slogged across
icy fields and roads made more
perilous by snow-covered mines.
Blizzard Abates.
The blizzard which YESTERDAY
blinded their assault had abated, but
it was replaced by fog, low gray
clouds and biting cold.
The latest shift in fighting on the
7th Army front put the Americans
in control of Meisenthal, IL miles

By the Associated Press.


LONDON, Jan. 5.-Yugoslav
Partisan forces have crossed the
Austrian border and are menac-
ing a German arc between Klag-
enfurt and Graz, Marshal Tito
announced today.
In a broadcast communique heard
in London, Marshal Tito said the
Partisans had cut the Maribor-
Graz railway line in many places, .
apparently in the areas of Wildon,
Leibnitz and Ehrenhausen.
In addition, the announcement
said, the rail line from Maribor to
Dravograd, paralleling the border
just inside Yugoslavia, was de-
stroyed "over a long stretch" This
line crosses the border less than 10
miles west of Dravograd and leads
thence to Klagenfurt.
Graz lies 26 miles inside Austria
opposite the junction of the Yugo-
slav, Hungarian and Austrian bor-
ders. Klagenfurt, SO miles to the
southwest, is l3 miles from the
frontier.
| The Maribo-Gra railway has
been used by the Germans to sup
/ ply troops both in Northern Yugo-
slavia and on the opposite side OF
the Drava River in Hungary, where
the Russians have driven to within
less than so miles of the Austrian
frontier southwest of Lake Balaton
Maribor is a rail junction about
10 miles inside the Yugoslav border
Tito said other attacks were made
on the railway running between
Ljubljana and Jesenice, just inside
Yugoslavia parallel to the Italiar
frontier. A locomotive and severa
railway cars were destroyed there.

German roadblocks cleverly cam
ouflaged by the snow and manned
by troops wearing winter white uni
forms brought from the Russian

The cost of the battle, which Ber-
lin said was becoming the greatest
of the war, was shown by figures
from the fronts.
At Sd Army headquarters it was
estimated that the Germans had 900
tanks to start their offensive on De-
cember 16. The Sd Army claimed
to have destroyed 435 of these.

Germans Plane Total

Pilots Inferior
BY EDWARD KENNEDY.

SUPREME ALLIED HEADQUAR-
TIERS, PARIS, Jan. 5.-Germany
despite heavy losses, has more war
planes today than when the Allies
landed in Normandy, but her pilots
now are inadequately trained be-
cause of fuel shortages and are less
to be feared than the enemy's ter
rife antiaircraft gun defenses. high
American Air Force officers told cor
respondents yesterday.
Bad weather. plus the fact there
is only half as much daylight on the
western front now as on D day, pre-
vented adequate air reconnaissance
of German preparations for the
great offensive into Belgium and
Luxembourg last month, the air Of
flcers explained in general review
of the last year.
Attending the conference were
nine American air generals, includ-
ing 1t. Gen. Carl Spaatz. command
er of United States Strategic Air
Forces in Europe; 1t. Gen. James
L. OSClAOb1Cs NOllilllQlloCl Va IllC Otll
Air Force; Maj. Gen. Hoyt S. Van
denberg, commander of the 9th Air
Force. and Maj. Gen. Ralph Royce
commander of the 1st Tactical Air
Force.
Nazis Saved Craft.
BY outstanding their craft, the
officers said, the NaziS were able to
put more planes in the air in sup
port of Field Marshal Won Rund-
steot's offensive than at any time
since D day, and they agreed that
the enemy pilots showed an incli-
nation to fight But they said the
German flyers obviously were in
ferior in training and were no more
effective in combat than at the time
of their crushing defeats during the
summer.
One senior officer said improve
ments had been noted recently IN
Nazi air technique, indicating there
had been changes at the top of the
eriemy air command. The only
changes in American technique dur
ing the last year were made possible
by improved aircraft, he said.
American bombing through over
cast was declared to be four times
more accurate than year ago
Largely by this method, all rail
bridges except one leading into the
enemy's Belgian salient have been
destroyed, an officer said. This has
pushed Won RundStedt'S rallhead
back SO miles and has forced him to
rely largely on his motor transport
for supply.
