highway to four and half miles by
crossing it at third point, two
miles south of Howell, and fighting
into Brusberg and Huscheid, which
are almost mile east Of the high
way north of Hovel.
The smashing drive of twin col
umns Of the 4th Armored division
of Patton's Army was masked by
a security blackout. Berlin assert
ed it had crossed the Maize river In
the area of Mad Kreuznach and in
Dictated it was raising havoc in the
rear of the Germans Saar Basin
line.

Seventh Army, gaining up to two
miles and capturing six towns,
hammered a half miles through the
Siegfried line Notifications east OF
Saarbruecken and captured Om-
mersheim, less than so miles from
Patton's tanks racing to take the
Saar basin from the rear.
The baths :ozz this rich industrial
basin west of the Rhine appeared
to have reached the mopping-up
stage with lightning speed. The
German collapse before Patton's
acmor in the north left little if any
hope for the Germans fighting from
the Siegfried defenses in the south,
if they should, hold off their Sew
enth Army attackers, will be taken
from the rear by the Third.
The enemy's situation III the
Remagen bridgehead also was des-
perate, according to front dis
patches which said Field Marshal
Walther Won Model had taken per-
sonal command Of German forces
there and had issued orders to hold
under all circumstances.
During the past "a hours events
have taken place on the western
front amounting to an American
success which cannot be belittled,"
declared the Nazi Commentator
Walter Plato in an unusually frank
estimate of German disaster in the
Saar and the Remagen bridgehead.

Late front dispatches disclosed
that the 10th and 18th armored di-
visions were racing south, parallel
with the 4th to trap the remnants
of two German armies against
the Rhine and between the tank
columns and the U. S. Seventh
Army.
Third Army headquarters said
the forces taking part in the
drive were being revealed so the
Germans would know the strength
of the avalanche bearing down
upon them from the north and
perhaps give up in the face OF
hopeless odds.
The 4th division reached the
Maize river, almost hallway to a

the 18th captured Wurrich and

Third Army headquarters made
note of the fact that Patton's COM

since it was formed in France.
Third Army headquarters stress
ed that tank losses in the drive
south were less than half those sui
fered by the Germans despite the
fact that the Americans were the
purcuers. It was said that Ameri-
can losses were mostly anti-tank
weapons, while the Germans were
losing their armor to the swift
Shermans which overlook them

total of 74,819.
OF that number, 47,478 we're as
signed to duty with the Army and

58,977. Of the original applicants,
1892 we're rejected by the Army

1892 reflections or 81 per cent.
From the Army, 6,641 were separ-
ated and 1866 from the Navy,
total Of 1926 or IA per cent.
Separations from service were
due to physical disabilities, getting
married and various other reasons.
Following marked upswing in
enllstments in the first days of j an
uary 1945, more nurses applied for
service with the Armed Forces IN
the first week after the Presidents
call Tor selective service legisla-
ton for nurses than during the
whole previous two months.
Until about two years ago,
nurse marrying while in the ANC
was compelled to resign. This reg
ulatlon has been lifted and a mar

If married after entering, may re.

Married nurses are not accept

REVISE ESTIMATE
 ON STORM SEWERS
Project to Cost City $lO7,- 0OO; Original Figures
 Place at $45,O0O

Construction of storm and sani- tary sewers in the Macarthur Drive area will cost approximately $l07,- 900 instead of the originally esti- mated $45 1000 it was disclosed by the city engineers to the Board of Works last ngiht. The board has agreed to ask the Board of Finance to set up $26,000 for the storm sew CTS and $8l,000 for the sanitary sewers.
 The revised estimate came as surprise to members of the board and City Budget Director Arnold E., Flrlong. The city authorities had already used the lower estimate as yard-stick in estimating postwar operational costs.
 The city has already applied for priorities to construct the sewers immediately as conditions in that area have proven unsanitary.
 Street Superintendent Herbert Scott-Smith last night disclosed to the board the final plans for con- struction of brick buildings at the city yards.
 City Engineer Charles Root asked requested permission to seek bids for plumbing in the City Hall.
 Major J. Peter Costigan said in a letter to the board that the con- dition of the retaining wall at the western end of Alma street is dan- gerous. He pointed out that chil- dren play in the area and that the wall may give way at any time.
 The matter was referred to the street committee and the super intendent of streets who will have the power to take any steps that are necessary.
 The Tapken-Tufts Manufacturing Company in letter to the board requested that hydrant be install led on Huntingdon avenue, near Cumberland Drive. It was said that the present hydrants in the section are 1,500 feet apart, and the near est hydrant is about $50 feet from the factory.
 This condition is a hazard ac- cording to the New England Fire Rating Association, the letter said. Five hundred feet was cited as the maximum distance hydrant should be located from a plant and still be considered within the safety zone. The request was referred to the superintendent of streets with power to act.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-05-16

The traffic stanchion at Water town avenue and Robbins street is not hazardous and under reasonable conditions of driving it does not interfere with safety of travel, Will liam c. Hansen of New Haven, as- sistant secretary of the State Traf- fic Commission, stated in superior court today.
 Detailed and lengthy testimony by the state official opened yester- day afternoon and continued this morning as the City of Waterbury started its defense in the $110, 1000 civil action brought against it by Paul s,ld Bessie DeLahunta and Ed win and Doris MacKeever, all of Stratford.
 Judge John A. Cornell and jury of Il women and one man are sit- ting at the trial, based on injuries sustained by the four plaintiffs March 22, 1942, when their car struck the traffic signaling device. Discussed Permit On cross-exam.nation by Attorney J. Warren Upson, counsel for the plaintiffs, MT. Hansen said today that he talked with Police Superin- tendent William J. Roach in 1888 before the permit for installation of the stanchion was issued.
 The witness admitted the minutes of the State Traffic Commission do not show it took action in regard to the permit. He said, however, that the installation was thoroughly discussed and his superior ruled on the application. No information on the specific location of the device was given in the application, he stated in response to query from Attorney Upson.
 A state traffic safety manual, which was offered as an exhibit was presented to the witness, who said the manual did not make provision for the particular type of installa- tion involved in the litigation. At that point Judge Cornell inquired if the regulations in the manual ex- cluded installations of other types than those mentioned, and counsel for the defense replied they could find no provision which would in- dicate that.
 On further cross-examination MT. Hansen admitted that at the time the permit was issued he did not have knowledge as to how high the light signaling would be located nor whether it would be located at the side or center of the pavement He also testified in detail as to provi- sions in the manual on installation of the trafflc light.
 On re-examination by Corpora tion Counsel Maurice T. Healey, MT. Hansen said that sufficient facts were obtained before. the permit was issued. He denied that the issuance was based on "guess-work" a phrase MT. Upson had used.
 Fell Asleep!
 Among the witnesses called yes- terday afternoon was City Select man Stanley Voket, who testified his car struck the stanchion in

March, 1941. He said he was un- conscious for more than a half an hour and sustained neck and chest injuries. Asked for the cause of the accident he replied he fell asleep at the wheel. He was not cross examined.
 John DeCorpo, assistant city clerk, was asked to identif two volumes of records of the board of police commissioners. The plaintiffs coun- sel indicated the records were pre- sented to show "the lack of a par ticular thing. The defendants coun- sel then stipulated on the lack, agreeing that there was no formal vote made by the commissioners on installation of the traffic stanch- ion and that no formal record was made of 1t.
