 Tracing the Apostolic succession to the present, Bishop Brady de- clared:
 Today is another pentecost for Edward Francis Ryan, parish priest of the archdiocese of Boston. To- day he is marked in the admonition of St. Paul, Take heed to yourself and to the whole flock. wherein the Holy Spirit hath placed you bishop. to rule the church of God which He hath purchased with His own blood. Once again the Holy Spirit has touched an apostle with it's die vine fire and. rejuvenated and in- spired he is to go forth that men may know Jesus Christ and Him crucifid, that they may know the peace of God in the Kingdom of God"

 The raid was the first in strength this year by the Saipan-based 2lst bomber command under Brig. Gen. Haywood s. Hansell, Jr However, a single B-9 on weather strike bombed Tokyo early on New Years Day morning.
 The War Department said com- munique would be issued or today's raid when operational reports had been received from Saipan.

 A lone Japanese plane struck struck back at Saipan Tuesday, but failed to cause damage. It was the eight raid on Saipan since the Su- perfortresseS began operations from that Marianas Island.

 Congressional leaders likewise en- dOrSed the Byrnes proposals but hoped find further suggestions in President Rooseyelt's annual mes- sage on the state of the nation.
 It was reported authoritatiVely that the Byrnes report would pro- vide the basis for large part of the Presidents message.
 Senate Democratic Leader Alben W. Barkley, Of Kentucky, who cons ferred with MT. Roosevelt yesterday, declined to discuss the administra- tion's legislative program for the 79th Congress until after the read ing of the Presidents message.
 Even in the absence of detailed legislative proposals, however, the congressional response to the Byrnes report generally was agree- ment that something should be done to tighten manp0Wer controls.
 Chairman Clifton A. Woodrum D., Va, of the House postwar mili- tary policy committee said: We've got to get our manpoWer situation strengthened out" He said there was "a whole lot to be said" in favor of requiring 4-Fs to serve in essential jobs,
 Rep. Paul J. Kilday, D.. Tex, member of the house military af- fairs committee. said that persons not physically qualified for military service should be required to sup. port the war effort in some other capacity.
 Sen. Homer Ferguson, R., Mich, agreed after checking selectiye service figures showing that only 36 out of every 100 selectees screen- ed during November were taken into the armed forces.
 Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, di- rector of selective service, told Fer- guson that 'neurosis extreme" was the biggest single cause for rejec- tions.
 These November figures are alarming" Ferguson commented. Maybe if we start putting some of these nervous people into jobs that can be done by s0-cailed nervous

Army front that German conveys were rushing troops and equipment down to the St. Hubert area, indi- eating they intended to anchor the southwestern end of their line on that town.
 German tanks and mechanical infantry units were thrown reck- lessly into spreading battle north and west of Bastogne yesterday and American self propelled artillery and Dive-bambers teamed up in two-way bombardment that filtered the surrounding roads with the wreckage of enemy arInor.
 Almost 5000 American heavy and medium bombers, fighter -bombers and figsters joined in the Ardennes battle and in the Saar Valley fight ing yesterday, smashing scores Of German communications lines, des- troying supply dumps and knock ing out 62 Nazi tanks and armored vehicles.
 The LuftWaffe made on attempt to interfere with the American tactical assault, but a realitively Dttldll LII AIGIIIldA bombed and starfed the Third Arml lines around Bastogne.
 There were no major changes on the Luxembourg line held by the Third Army southeast of Bastogne TOT OF the northern flank of the Salient. United Press War Cores pondent Ronald ClaI:. reported from the latter sector, ht wever, that the First Army sent patrols forward some 2,000 yads s,uth of Monschau to form screen before the main lines
 Foe Gains 2 Miles
 On the Saar-Rhineland front, the Germans maintained strong pres sure on the American lines along a 50-mile arc from SarreguemineS eastward to the Rhine river at Berg. The Germans forced a crossing of the Blies river at Bliesbruck, three miles west of Sarreguemines and won gains of as -l.uch as two miles through American outposts below Bitche, IT miles to the east. The German counter thrust below Bitche carved out a wedge five to six miles wide extending south and sol.ti' east of that enemy-heId town but latest reports said it had been slowed or stopped at all points
 Some German units inflltrated in- tG Philippsbourg. Dambach and Baerenthal, 6h to 9M miles south southeast of Bitcha, but they were mopped up quickly.
 The Germans were punching out of densely-W0oded areas all along the front, apparently probing for a weak spot in the American lines, but thus far appeared to be meeting onlr limited success End headquart- CTS spokesmen said the attacks still wer, -arded as diversionary jahs,

 reluctance to leave Russia appar- ently ruled out a conference in or near this country.
 Congressional leaders said after leaving the White House yesterday that the president indicated to them he would meet sometime soon with Churchill and Stalin.
 Taking this as a cue, reporters put the matter up to the president at his afternoon news conference. He avoided straight answer, say ing instead that it depended or how one defined soon" and that he preferred to say anon"
 The president did. however. hint that the conference would be ciOaked in the same secrecy that covered the meetings in Casablan- ca, Cairo and Teheran. When re- porter asked if Secretary of State Edward R. StettiniuS, Jr., would at- tend, the president replied that re- D0rtefs would not know about that until after the principals meet.
 Mfr. Roosevelt then said there na- turaIly were differences among the three powers, some important and morne unimportant. A reporter ob- served that many people in this country were worried about these dlffesences as reported in the press.

 Censorship limited speculation on the German troops movements in side the pocket, but Spokesmen &C., knowledged the enemy activity was primarily defensive and that the Nazis obviously were preparing to meet some kind of Allied threat.
 GA compilation of headquarters and front dispatches suggested the Germans were anticipating the main assault to come from the north along the St. -Stayelot- Grandmenil Line, with Patton's Third Army at tack from the south serving as the anvil for the First Army hammerJ
 The mass movement of Germen reserves inside the pocket over shadoWed developments on the fighting fronts where Pattons troops were making steady but slow prog ressa round Bastogne and American Third and Seventh Army forces to the southeast were successfully con- taining heavy German counter-at- tacks on the Sara and Rhine Pal atinate lines.
 Fighting in bitterly cold weather against stiff resistance, Patton s forces expanded their wedge north and east of Bastogne by a mile or more and won equally limited gains on a l5-mile line extending west to St. Hubert.
 Dispatches from the Third Army front said Patton's troops had iib- erated l36 Belgian and Luxembourg towns since they began their coun- ter-drive on the nouthern flank on December 22.
 On their right flank, the Ameri- cans battled their way into Netfe, Mageret and Benonchamps, two to four miles east of Bastogne. and drove into the outskirts Of Ml- champs, four miles to the north- east.
 Some gains also were reported in the Lutrebois area three miles south of Bastogne, where German armored units that had been try ing to cut the Arlon- -BastOgne road were pushed back slightly.
 NaziS Stubborn
 German reiEforcements were re- ported moving into the Lutrebois sector and United Prses War Cor respondent Robert Richards report ed that the enemy appeared ready to stand and fight here regardless of he danger of being cut off by Patton's n0rthWard advance.
 Very heavy fighting was continu- ing around Lutrebois and German multi i-barrelled mortars- 'ereain- ing Meemiees' pounding Am- erican positions three miles farther south at Honyille.
 On the opposite side of the high way, partially-surgounded German units also were fighting hard in the Senon-Champs area two miles west Of Bastogne,
 Three miles northwest of Bast0gne, the Americans captured Mande st, Etienne on the highway to Marche, while other units made a general advance farther west to take Gerimont and clear the Bols Des Valteg. Bonnerue, Il miles west of Bastogne. also was captur- ed, while on their extreme left flank Pattons armored columns drove into the German stronghold of St. Hubert and then withdrew under heavy fire.

 The tremendous increase of taxes and the expenditures by our federal government to carry on the war make it essential that to relieve our situation We maintain our tax sched- uic where it is, continue to balance our budgets and lay aside evrey dollar tha tive can over and above our state expenditures to meet post war needs

 The time has come when we should take firm, positive steps for the prevention of mental illness of all kinds.
 Our whole educational program in Connecticut, both public and private must be organized to provide the facilities needed to furnish educa- tional opportunity and training for returnin veterans.
 The opportunity for education must be equal. This does not mean that everyone should have the same education, but everyone of oul youth must have the same oppor- tunity to acquire an education in of the danger of being cut off b5 keeping with his capabilities and desires.
 We are all particularly solicitous for the returning veteran. Like wise, in the interest of task we'll done and in the broader interest of the economic welfare of all Oi our citizens, we must be prepared to deal with employment in it! broadest aspects.
 The preservation of the natura beauties of t..e state and making them accessible for the use of all oi our people will do much to keel here in Connecticut he able, loya workers that are such a vital part Of our economic life.
 Winning a military victory ane planning for the postwar world art inseparable tasks.
 More than three centuries ago our forefathers created here il Connecticut a new form of govern mept, designed to protect lndiYi' dual human liberty and to perpetu ate equal opportunity under law They had faith that such a govern ment offered the best hope for hu' man progress and happiness. Dur ing the long, eventful, changing years since thatt ime, the people of Connecticut have held steadfast' ly to the same faith. They hayi built here, and helped to built across the continent, great ma tion which destiny has set up as | mighty bulwark against the force of despotism and evil. Today Il world rampant with passion prejudice and hate, we are fighting and working with eyer-increasini zeal to keep that faith alive. w are determined, with Gods help that the fires of freedom kindlet by our forefathers so long ago shal burn more brightly still.

Three years of wartime working and living must not make us callouS to the sacrifices that are daily be- ing made nor to the duties and obli- gationS and the great tasks that are yet ahead.
 We believe that social progress in the truest and fullest sense of the word can only be achieved by an increasing and expanding produc- tion brought about the intelligence, the initiative, the energy and the industry Of great free people.
 This expanding production in times of peace can create the wealth which, wisely and justly spread among all our people will support the best in social progress.
 In that same spirit we have ex- banded our production to meet the needs of war however, whenever and wherever we have been called upon to meet them. We will con- tinue in that spirit.
 We will never forget that our prime task today and until victory is won is the production of the ma terialS and weapons of war in what ever kind and quantity needed. When we keep our armed forces more than adequately supplied we cut down the priceless cost in l fife and suffering which a policy of too little and too late" always entails.
 We will keep ever before us this theme: The right weapons at the right time. at the right place and supplies in abundance.
 The friendly and whole -hearted cooperation of labor and manage ment and government in Conn. has given a new significance to the word industry. We nave really made it mean team work, unity of purpose and effort by labor and management and government.
 Connecticut has forged ahead in war production. When peace comes, she must forge ahead in peace pro- duction, too.
 Our most priceless asset today and in the future, as indeed it has been in the past, is our number of skilled and loyal working men and women, our able management, and our excellent plant facilities.
 The fruits of an increasing and expanding production must be spread justly among all our people
 We will face the future in the same spirit of unselfish cooperation that We have shown so admirably in these war days. If We do that, We need have no fear.
 The relationships between laboi and management have been excel. lent during these war years. l be. lleye that sound, workable Labor Relations Act will strengthen anG make permanent those excellent re. lations.
 Our Connecticut farmers have carried on and have done their full share and more in making Connec' ticut outstanding in war production
 We can keep our industries witf us so long as we can keep our people '"sItb us. To keep our people with us to always have a sufficient number of skilled and loyal working meT and women, and able and capable managers, We must strive to mak' Connecticut an even better place il which to kye and to work and t' raise our faknilies.
 We must continue our efforts tI secure better financial returns fol all our aricultural products, partic' ulaly milk, the price Of which hal Jagged far behind most an of m

beyond Bastogne ard strong units were not far behind.
 Along a line two to II miles west of Bastogne, the Third Army cap tured Senochamps, Mande, Geri- mont and Bonnerue. Patrols speared into St. Hubert but withdrew. The heaviest fighting west ot Bas- togne was around a hill between Bonnerue and Tiller. The Germans held the hill, but the doughboys gained half mile to it's right. putt ting them a quarter of a mile from Tillet.
 Armored elements in the vicinity of Harry, four miles east of Bas- togne, were reported fighting off heavy armored and infantry coun- terbloWs.
 Bad weather grounded the tac- tical air forces this morning. More than l,70O American bombers and fighters from Britain swarmed to the suppot of the ground armies, hitting transport centers scattered behind the battle lines from Bell gium to the Karlsruhe area of the upper Rhine.
 Heavily-censored field dispatches said an air of tension hung over the Ardennes as both sides braced for a major battle that could affect the duration of the war.
 Allied reconnaissance flyers re- ported a steady stream of German conveys jamming the roads in the center of the pocket, all moving out to the Hanks on which It Gen George s. Patton's U, s. Third Army and It. Gen. Courtney H Hodges First Army were gathering in increasing strength.
 American Third Army artillery opened rolling bombardment across the less than l5-mile corridor sail in German hands north of Bastogne, pounding every crossroads over which German troops and armor were moving.
