WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—
(AP)—With objectors still

sors of an 18-45 labor draft
today sought to enlist agri
cultural backing with testi
mony that it should aid farm
labor.

Another call for help—to General;'

Marvin Jones, War Food Adminis
trator, who endorsed the pending
May bill for coercive action against
men 18 to 45 who won't stay on

aid farmers.
Before calling in Jones, the com
mittee through Chairman May <D

an oral invitation to the Army
Chief of Staff to give his views.
May and other committee mem

Eecause of the pressure of other
business—"Because he has a full

southwest of the Philippines sum

iisclosed today.
In a communique covering ac
ion through Wednesday, Gen.
Douglas MacArthur announced that
_,t. Gen. Walter Kreuger’s forces
n the outskirts of Rosario were en
:our.tering strong resistance. Amer
can cruisers and destroyers helped
hem progress by bombarding the
own which is a little over five
niles east of the Lingayen Gulf
:oasr at Damortis, Tuesday.
Broadening their pressure on the
Japanese around Baguio, the Amer
cans also were moving up the
nngayen Gulf east coast toward
igoo, 16 miles west of Baguio.!
igoo was a landing point for Japa
lese invasion forces on December
2. 1941.
Below Rosario, Kreuger's men
tere fanning out swiftly over the
lighways which connect the moun-|
tair.s around Baguio with the cen
tral Luzon plain. Gen. MacArthur
announced the capture of the road
junction of Urdaneta. and said the
American grip was tightening on
the highway which runs south from
Baguio.
Urdaneta lies on the north-south
highway connecting Manila with
Baguio—already cut both below
and above Urdaneta—and on east
west roads connecting the beach
head town of Dagupan with Nativi
dad, San Quintin and Umingan in
the interior.
If the Japanese wish to move
any considerable forces against
American troops moving south to
ward Manila, they would need these j
highways to get them out of the
mountains to the north where they
now are seeking cover.
Japanese forces made several
counter-attacks against American
troops along the road toward Po
201-rubio, nine airline miles north
of Urdaneta. but were beaten off.
Although the ground gains re

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.— UP) —
rhe heavy fighting along the West
ern Front during December cost
American ground forces 74,788
casualties, boosting total losses on
hat front since D-Day to 332,912.
Secretary of War Stimson, re
pasing the figures today at his
lews conference, said the Decem
>er losses included most of the
2,554 casualties previously report
ed during the first three weeks
lecember 15 to January 7—of the
lig German counter offensive in
he Ardennes.
Against these American losses,
itimson estimated German casu
lties for the month at 110,000 to
30,000, including 50,000 taken pris
>ner by the Allies.
The December casualties on

"An indication of the severity of

Most of the latter, Stimson said,
are presumed to be prisoners.^
This division, which the Ger

and which already has returned
to action, made ‘‘a gallant stand’
at the center of the German drive

“It was the contribution of men

Army Court Martial Set
For Captured Saboteurs \
NEW YORK, Jan. 18.— (UP) —I
The Army received two Nazi sabo-|
teurs from the Federal Bureau of
Investigation tonight and will try
them before a military commission
on a charge of violating "the law of
war.” The penalty upon conviction
is death, life imprisonment, or any
lesser penalty the commission
deems fitting.
Military Police of the Second Ser
vice Command received custody of
William Curtis Colepaugh, native
born American citizen, and Erich
Gimpel, a German national, at

the military commission which
will try the two men who were land
ed in Frenchmen’s Bay of the
Maine coast by a German sub
marine and were arrested a month
later by FBI agents in New York.
The date of their trial will be
announced after the commission
has met and organized. It will de
termine whether the trial will be
open to public and press. Eight
Nazi spies and saboteurs previously
landed on the American coast by
submarine and rounded up by the
FBI also were tried by a military
commission. Six were electrocu

Yanks, Reds
Praised For
War Efforts
Enemies Warned Of Untold
Suffering If They Con
tinue War
LONDON, Jan. 18.—(UP)
—Terming the great Arden
nes battle an “ever-famous
American victory . .. likely to
shorten this war’’ and praising
the punctuality of the Red
Army, Prime Minister Chur
chill today dramatically de
manded the immediate, un
conditional surrender of Ger
T^nv and Japan.
Speaking on behalf of the Unit
Bu ..auons in the first direct sur
-err’er demand by any “Big Three”
leader, Churchiil told Germany
and Japan:
“If you surrender now, nothing .
you will have to endure after the i
var will be comparable to what
you otherwise are going to suffer
luring the year 1945.”
_»,e surrender demand was the
unexpected climax of a two-hour
speech in Parliament in which ,
Bhurchill painted a highly optimis- ]
ic picture of the military situation ,
around the world, lavishly pra#
:d American military accomplish
ments, disclosed that on the Wes- '
;ern Front the American war ef- ‘
'ort is more than double that of ’
Britain and told the world the j |
'Big Three” military alliance was '
stronger than it ever had been. :
3n the political side Churchill ad- 1
nitted minor “misunderstandings ■
and difficulties” among the Allies, J
.vhich he hoped the coming con- 1
erence would erase, reiterated
Britain's determination to establish
an orderly democratc government •
a Greece, pledged ■ ”ioit to Mar
shal Tito in Yugoi-uvia even if i
:his means abandoning King Peter, ,
and dashed Italy’s hopes of be- .
coming an equal member of the .
United Nations.
Churcnill borrowed from Lin
coln's Gettysburg address to state
lis government’s position concern
ing Greece, Yugoslavia and Italy.
“We have one principle about
liberated ’ountries or repentant
satellites.” he said. “1 will s.tate it
in the broadest, most familiar
terms: ‘Government of the people.
oy the people, for the people’ set
rp on the basis of free and univer
sal suffrage election with secrecy
of the ballot and no intimidation.”
He gave the Germans and Jap
anese the alternative of untold
igony or honorable but uncondi
tional surrender to the humanitar- :
an impulses of the conquering Al- i
ies.
The surrender demand undoubt
edly was made after consultation

24 JAP VESSELS
BAGGED BY SUBS
Five Tankers Included
With Destroyer And
Escort Ships
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. ——
American submarines have slash
ed a big new gap in the Japanese
fighting fleet sea supply lines, the
Navy announced today.
A communique disclosed that
undersea raiders ranging deep in
to Pacific and Far Eastern waters
had bagged an additional 24 ene
my vessels including four combat
ant ships.
Significant was the inclusion in
the toll of five tankers—two large,
two medium and one small — a
category in which the enemy has
been short for some time and
where the pinch of attrition hurts
most.
The tanker shortage has been
considered a major factor in the
timidity of the Japanse fleet, due
to the difficulty of replenishing
fuel supplies to the men of war at
sea.
Today’s announcement brought
to a total of 94 the number of
Japanse fleet tankers which have
fallen victims to American subma
rines.
The combatant vessels claimed
in today’s announcement included
a destroyer and three escort ves
sels. Others in addition to the tank
ers. were a large cargo transport,
a medium cargo transport, eight
medium cargo vessels, a medium
transport and four small cargo
vessels.
Submarine warfare overall has
accounted for 103 combatant ships
sunk, including 13 cruisers, 45 de
stroyers, three tenders and 40 mis
cellaneous, and 855 noncombatant
ships for a grand total of 958 of
all types.

Unconfirmed Reports Say
Konev’s Forces Across
Reich Line
LONDON, Friday, Jan. 18.
— (UP) — Red Army troops
have reached the border of
German Silesia, Berlin said
last night, although Moscow
placed the onrushing Soviet
forces 11 miles from the
Reich. The Russians announc
ed also that other Soviet
forces had clamped a huge
pincer on Lodz, second city of
Poland.
Unconfirmed reports said that
fast-moving tank spearheads of
Marshal Ivan S. Konev’s First
Ukranian Army, which has cover
ed more than one-quarter of the
distance to Berlin in the first week
of the Red Army’s paralyzing win
ter offensive, already had invad
ed Germany.
The Soviet High Command, how
ever, reported only that Konev’s
forces had captured Szarlejza, 11
miles from the border and 85 miles
from the great German city of
Breslau. The Russians were 256
miles southeast of Berlin.
Konev’s army also drove to with

man Silesian basin.
Simultaneously, other Russian
troops northwest of Warsaw smash
ed toward Danzig and the south
ern borders of East Prussia along
a 51-mile front, driving to within
15 miles of Germany’s easternmost
province. Another Red army was
reported advancing into East Prus

LONDON, Jan. 18 —(UP)— The
Soviet-endorsed Lublin provisional
government of Poland already ha*
