S. Seventh Fleet then entered the bey while to the east the Sixth Army siesed Calumpit and crowed the Pampeaga River, 28 roed milee from Manila. Fleet entrance into the good an chorage and repair baae on the frin ges of Manila Bay followed unimped ed occupation of Grande Island, Subic's "Little Cofiegidor." U. S. Guns Recaptured. American guns which were defend ing Grande Island when it fell to the Japanese in 1942 were recaptured. Olongapo was -dotted with dugouts and pillboxes—all abandoned. The surge of the Sixth into Calum pit, in an advance of 18 mUee south ward down Pampanga province, car ried motorized units of "the 14th Army Corps safely .through a narrow stretch of land compressed between two swamps. Beyond, the plains open wide to Manila with no good defense for the Nipponese in between. While the Yapks of Lt-Gen. Rob ert Eichelberger thus advanced more than 20 milee from Monday's beach heads on the Zamhales coast to win Olongapo, Sixth Army columns roll ed 10 miles southwest of San Fer nando toward a juncture with the Eighth which would seal off Bataan peninsula The two Army elements are push ing toward each other along a wind ing road of 60 miles from the Zam bales coast to San Fernando. Other Eighth Army units landed on Grande Island at the entrance of Subic Bay, whose waters give, the U. S. Seventh Fleet a fine base on the very fringes of Manila Bay. Closer To Bagnio. The Americans were on the move in all sectors. They cleaned out enemy pocket* at Fort Stotsenburg. They punched closer to the summer capital of Baguio to the north. They seized highway junctions near the foothills of the Sierra Madre range flanking the Luzon plains on the east, thus severing enemy routes of retreat Seizure of Olangapo gave the Americans a dry dock and extensive ship repair facilities. At Calumpit, scene of a gallant stand by Americans and Filipinos at the start of the war, the Ameri cans secured bridges spanning the P am pang* River. General Douglas MacArthur, an nounced these gains in his com munique today, said the Americans who seized Grande Island and Olongapo "an now using this ex cellent anchorage, and the develop ments of a naval base is already un der way." Sixth Army Yanks advancing to ward the Bataan peninsula from cap tured San Fernando have taken the town of Lubao in a 10 mite advance. In the northern sector near Lin gayen Gulf where the Sirth Army landed Jan. 9, Americans have cap tured Udiac, road (junction some IB miles south of Baguio. American bombers pounded the Ca pita naval base in Manila Bay with 67 tons of bombs, causing heavy explosions and firea.

Makes 828 Pounds Of Lfot Peg Acre It w*8 no accident that D. D. Wilk inson won.the Scotland County five acre cotton contest with. 1,210 pounds of lint per acre, says Enos Blair, Ex tension agronomist at State College. Wilkinson began building up the soil of hia farm in 1937 with a four year ratio*, the turning under of cover crop*, and the use of better fertilizers. Hia rotation waa two years of cotton and corn or truck crops followed by two years of small grains and soybeans, with- the beans combined and. the. lea?** and stalks turned under. In 1938. Wilkinson averaged 232 potinds of lint per acre as compared with 878 pounds per acre last year on a crop of 77 acres. Yields of other crops have just about doubled. For cotton Wilkinson ha* fertilised with 500 pounds of 4-9-5 per acre or some similar grade but he now top dresses with 150 pounds of nitrate at soda and 50 pounds of muriate of potash per acre where he formerly used only 100 pounds of soda. He gives his grain 800 pounds of 3^12-6 at planting and a topdresser of 100 pounds of nitrate of soda and 50 pounds of muriate of. potash per acre. A unique feature of the Wilkinson farm of 225 cultivated acres is that most of the work is done by two large tractors, according to Blair. This inciudee preparation, planting, culti vation, and combining. There are only two mulas on the farm and they have little to do. Bailey Is Informed Of Voters Attitude Telegrams, signed by le&diing Dem ocrats of Pitt county, were dispatch ed to North Carolina Senator Josiah W. Bailey, who is among leaders in the fight against Henry A. Wallace's confirmation as Secretary of Com merce and Federal Loan Administra^ tor,' today. Wires throughout the State have been busy for the last few days sending expressions of the vot ers, some of which have been publish ed in .the dailies and state in no un certain terms just what the senders feel regarding Bailey's opposition. The message, signed by a number of Farmville Democrats, headed by Dr. Paul E. Jonea, Chairman of the Pitt t^unty Democratic Executive Committee, follows: "As Democrats of Pitt County, we strongly oppose your action, as o representative, in the fight against the confirmation of a faithful Demo crat, Henry Wallace, as Secretary of Commons; "We consider Henry Wallace, friend of tits farmer and the avenge American, and as opposed to the self ishness and greed of some of the big financiers." iHORACE MOORE IN STATES Mr. and Mrs. B.

S. First and Third army smashed across the Germ bonder in rain and slash at four new placet today, widened the Aach breach in Hie Siegfried Line by two additional miles and overran at lea a dozen more towns, some of them inside Germany. Pushing a full-scale offensive along a 40-mile section of the Westwall, the power of the American twin-drive carried th® troops of Lt Gen. George S. Patton, Jr., andTt Gen. Courtney H. Hodges as much as 5,000 yards further east. The front extends all the way from the Aachen breach along the Boer River to the Welchen hausen bridgehead along the Our River. Americans Advance. As heavy U. S. artillery and armor were poured against the western face of the Siegfried Line, American troops under tfce French army com mand in southern Alsace drove east ■nd south in their maneuver to en tirele Cotmar, the last major un liberated city at France. French forces captured Witten tieim, northwest of lfulhouae, against extremely heavy German opposition, and the trootfs besiegiing Colmar punched, a serious blow into Nasis iefending: the metropolitan pocket by iominaMng the main highway which ■onnect# Colmar with the Rhine River bridge at - Breisach in new encircle ment advances. The American Seventh and Ninth Army sectors' remained compara tively quiet, but on the northern flank of the long Western Front, Zanadirfn and British troops mop ped up the last remaining German Anita which were holding out among the numerous dikes on the Maas Is land bridgehead north of Tilburg, Holland. Air Forces Grounded. All Allied supporting air forces were grounded today hy a heavy overcast and a steady drizzle which, combined with the rising tempera tures, quickly turned recently fallen mow into ground-soaking slush. German opposition to the First and Third Army drives, stiffened perceptibly but remained sporadic in some sectors as the First drove three miles east of Honschau in Germany and crossed the narrow upper reaches of the Roer. Farther north the Roar remains a formid able barrier. Tanks supported the American infantry in this advance German artillery fire was noticeably lack ing, ami the only spot of hard re sistance in the sector was in the Keeteruch area five and one-half miles northeast of Monschau. — 78th Takes Prisoners. A steady stream of German prison ers poured oat of pillboxes, the U. S. 78th Division alone reporting more than 500 taken. Gaining three miles, the First In fantry Division plunged across the German border a half mile from Udenbrath, which is in the Sieg fried Line, while the 82nd Airborne eroesed in a shorter forward move ment esst of Lanzersth, getting with in a mile of the main Siegfried bar rier against stout opposition that in cluded tanks.

Five-Acre Cotton Contest Suggestions A number of important points should be taken into consideration by those farmers who enroll in the state five-acre cotton contest and attempt to produce from M to 15 bales of cotton on 5 acres, say Extension agronomists at State College. The very best land Aould be select ed—land that is well drained, has a high moisture holding capacity, and is capable of usiiig a relatively large amount of fertilizer to advantage. The agronomists suggest that the area be carefully examined to see that it haa no weak spots in it, as this will po)l down the total yields. Land that has had good cover crops tamed under is especially suitable for the contest In addition to the use of good seed,, the agronomists emphasize the im portance of having a relatively large number of stalks of cotton to the acre. In previous cotton contorts some prise winning growers have used three-foot rows with, * . *» * stalks in the hill and the hills about 8 to 12 inches apati. Prize winner* have also used Uberal amounts at fertilizer at planting and relatively.. ^ amounts in accordance with the abili ty of the land to utilise the fertilizer, v Whene large amounts of fertiliser are used at planting; the agronomists suggest that the fertilizer be applied about 10 day* before planting or with » side-placement machine, so Oat the stand of cotton will not he damaged. In the eontsito in the put, most of the prize winning groww* have topdressed just after chopping and have made only one application ci - - . . Final Rites Are Held For Mrs. R. E.

"The people keep silent and there by manifest their longing for peace, no matter what the price," this ob server said in.a leading Der Bund article on Germany. "They have found their weapon silence — in refusing longer to ac cept official declarations and 'pep talks.' "The people thus express their will, their longing; their goai and their [hope. The people are silent They .are keeping closed lips —until the day when the last cannon is find, when they again can make their voices heard." The writer said revolt in Germany is possible, that weapons am avail able and that the July 20 abortive revolt against Hitler proved this. He said small groups, little known abroad, seek by propaganda and by sabotage of industry to overthrow the Hitler regime.
