Bick explained, ''we're able TO
give our new troops practice In
killing them. Usually a couple
or green boys are sent out With
four oldtimers who look after
them.
They see that the green
horns get good cover and then
they flush n few Japs from cover +.
for them. The system worked
out exceIlentiy."
Another interesting yarn re-
lated by Bick involved air force
ground crewmen who gave in
fantrymen food for a chance "a
kill Japs.

@An infantry squad leader would
mako a deal with an air force
ground crewman, who doesn't
get TO see the Japs much. The
infantry boys would take the air
force boy out into the jungle
and flush Jap for him 10

crewman would give the infan-
trymen steaks.

First Army Tanks Drive
A Mile Inside CoL0e1,e

OF the city doomed up through the
battle haze.
The veteran 104th Division swept
through the western suburban
towns of Weiden, Widdersdorf and
Lovernich and then drove on east
into the city on the main highway
from Dueren.
The Eighth Infantry was NOV
ing in on the 104th south flank
and the attackers were met by
antitank guns and high-velocity
antiaircraft guns, depressed to
meet the ground assault.
On the north, troops were fight
ing in the edge of Cologne's rail-
way yards, among the greatest in
Europe, and were striking for the
west bank of the Rhine Just nortl
of the city.
Hodges troops were on the at
tack along a front of more than
SIS miles, with Cologne roughly
in the center.
The north wing was driving a
GeIIldu 1OrCe OF Undetermined
size back against the bridgeless
Rhine between Dusseldorf and
Cologne.
The Americans were on the
Rhine at Grimlinghausen, just
south of Dusseldorf, and at Wor-
ringen, nine miles farther south.
The German hold on the Rhine
between these points was three
miles wide or less.
On the south flank, the A1neri-
cans captured Euskirchen, city
Of 1850 with a network of three
railways and eight highways
through which the Germans fun
neled troops and tanks for the
Ardennes breakthrough.
East of Euskirchen, other forces
were less than 10 miles from the
Rhine transit city of Bonn after
forging across the Erft river and
capturing Grosvernich.
To the southwest, troops cap
tured Gemuend, an eastern anchor
of the Siegfried Line on the Roer
river front.

Mrs. Roosevelt Receives
Canadian Mink Coat AS A
Gift To Women OF u. S.

NEW YORK, March S. up -
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, as a
representative of call the women
in the United States" was pre-
sented today with a mink coat
by the Quebec Fur Breeds Co.
operative Association.
The coat was described by DR..
J. E. La Forest, president of the
association, as having been made
from the first crop of Quebec
government crested mink under
a new trade alliance with a New
York fur house.
''This gift l accept as a symbol
because we know peace will be
founded on economic cooperation
and this, between two countries
which have long been friendly,
seems to me symbolic of what
we hope will happen all over the
world and will bring us a happier
world in which to live in the fu-
ture," Mrs. Roosevelt said.

however, when one column cap
tured Malacanan and another
drove into Santo Tomas and Bill
bid prisons.
The Japanese recovered quickly
and these two forces became
strong isolated pockets within the
still strong enemy-held city.
The Japanese then began their
orgy of madness while American
troops within the city were pin
ned down and unable to help. As
internees within Santo Tomas
celebrated their freedom with
choked emotions, patrols outside
the camp fought chattering ma
chinegun battles. At Bilibid, a
half mile distant, war prisoners
and Baguio internees watched
mortar SHELLS fall within the 2ris-
on. The Malacanan garrison was
raked by artillery.
Throughout Manila that night
and many succeeding days, jap
anese demolitions ripped through
bridges and buildings and bloodied
the sky with flames. Chinese and
Filipino civilians ran screaming
into the streets to escape the
flames, then fell in bloody death
before japanese machineguns.
Sweaty, bearded infantrymen
sloughed into Manila February 4,
fighting all along the way against
Japanese barricaded in homes
and pillboxes.
Advance columns Of the main
body of the First Cavalry roared
past Grace Park February 5
against heavy fire from positions
in cemeteries and long-range guns
in Intra.nuros, and aboard sunken
ships in the bay.
The battle lost for the Japanese
for the moment, American col
umns hit the outskirts, but it was
a long, slow road to the Pasig
river through Japanese nests and
past charred ruins of the bust
ness section, and adjacent jumb-
led residential areas. Japanese
intentions were underlined, how
ever, by the fact that some Of
the worst slums northward of the
river escaped damage but not
one main American style building
was spared.
About a week after the initial
occupation, Eleventh Airborne
forces reached the vicinity of
Nichols Field. They joined ele-
ments of the First Cavalry in a
bitter drive against japanese pill
boxes around the airfield.
These forces pushed onward to-
ward the Manila Hotel, the main
piers, and the seward edge of
Intranuros. They compressed the
Japanese back into the rat trap
of the walled city which Yank
artillery was pounding ceaseless-
ly. In the center, 37th Division
infantry1nen also were closing the
trap, fighting through the blasted

Pressing the japanese into the
northern end of the small, black
island, the Fourth and Fifth Ma
rine Divisions edged forward on
the east and west TANKS, respec-
lively. The Fourth eliminated one
strong center of resistance.
Lindsley's field disptach said the
northern terrain minimized the use
of tanks. He reported the Nippon
csc were being routed from caves
and pillboxes with grenades and
flame throWers.
Dogs also were used to hunt
down the enemy. The Third Ma
rine War Dog platoon went ashore
Sunday and within a short time
the sharpnosed CANNES had flush
ed their first victim from a cave.
The main Japanese force now
is in the most rugged portion of

gulches and gullies which make
good defensive positions. The Japa-
nese are taking full advantage of
them.

merous Germans and Spanish,
even some conaborationist French,
while numbering uncounted num-

Rich and poor sought sanctuary
in the Philippine General hos
pital, then waited in misery
through the week-long artillery

gunned all who left the fortified
building. Others, in de la Sale

mad afternoon. Women were
raped and bayonetted.
Women and children were

hostages in Intramuros who were
forced to parade in the open after

rage in an evident attempt to dis
suade the Yanks from firing.
Tight-lipped Doughboys, untrain-
