Study Aid to
War Veterans
By PAUL BOLTON
Austin Correspondent
AUSTIN Dec. 21—A pre-legisla-
five poll of Texas legislators indi-
cares that the forthcoming session
of the legislature will concern It-
self to only a limited extent with
ex-servicemen. By far the majority
of legislators consider this is the
problem of the national govern-
ment. A typical expression- of this
view, taken in different words by
numerous other members who re-
plied to the questionnaire, was
that of Rep. S. J. Isaacks of El
Paso.
"The federal government
akia today and battled with bat-
tered Nail garrisons on the out-
skins of the strongholds of Kassa
and Rimaszombat.
Soviet columns last night were
on three sides of both these
heavily defended southeastern
Slovakian towns which control
highways and railways connect-
ing with direct routes to Brat-
islava, Vienna and Prague to
the west.
In advances up to five miles, a
communique said, the Russians cap-
tured 13 towns in the Rimaszombat
area in a drive aimed at the key
citadel of Losone, IT miles west-
ward chief of them was Tornala,
13 miles east of Rimaszombat and
a strongpoint of formidable enemy
defenses on the east bank of the
Slana river.
Latest reports had Soviet forces
puparing a climactic attack on the
Torysa river fortifications two miles
outside Kassa
Front reports said the great bat-
tle raging further to the west, north
of the Danube bend, was going fa-
vorably for Red army troops strug-
gling for other routes westward to-
ward Bratislava and Vienna.
The German high command
was reported throwing in large
numbers of reserves and new
air units in an effort to check
the Soviet push, which threat-
ened to spill out across the *
Danube and block escape routes
from beleaguered Budapest.
In 41 days, the war bulletin said,
the Russian Second Ukraine army
nas taken 41,244 prisoners in fight-
ing along the Hungarian-Slovak
border.

BOTH FOUND THEM WAITING—German fugitives from the Gestapo, having hidden in an
unused mine on the estate of German Diplomat Franz von Papen in defiance of an order
to evacuate their homes near Saarlautern, wait in their underground kitchen for a meal
being prepared in the background. They brought stoves and furniture from their homes.
The U. S. 90th division found them. (AP Wirephoto).

Abilenian’s Unit
doubtless has, or will make,
adequate plans for the return-
ing servicemen. That is a mat-
ter peculiarly within the prov-
ince of the general govern-
ment, and I do not believe that
the state of Texas should act in
the matter, except if our own
returning servicemen are not
adequately taken care of by the
federal government, that we
should make some adequate pro-
vision therefor.”
Those legislators who look upon
the veterans’ problem as at least
the state’s problem if the federal
government falls down on the job
promise to support (1) Legislation
giving the returning vet priorities
on jo’ts: and (2) to a limited ex-
tent, public works projects to guar-
antee availability of jobs. But most
of them are content with saying
that the state should “do some-
thing."
As a fair example, Rep. Ben H
Sharpe of Paris, points out that
the human element must be con-
sidered. A printed by trade Sharpe
told of some of the returning vet-
erans who applied for work in their
shop. When the nature of the job
was explained, the veterans them-
selves felt they wouldn’t be uP to
it. Of course when more normal
men are dismissed, they will be able
to fill the jobs that are available,
but at the same time. Sharpe says,
both the federal and state govern-
ments must begin thinking about
taking care of those whom the war
has made misfits.
A Robin Henderson, a new
member from Groesbeck, be-
lieves that a program of farm
to market roads would provide
many jobs for returning veter-
- ans, and he is one of the few
legislators replying who stated
flatly that he believed the state
should provide work for the vet-
erans.
Here are other typical replies:
’ Ready and willing to support any
legislation that will further com-
forts after they get home.” M. A.
Bundy of Wichita Falls.
"The state should spare not time
nor money to see that returning
boys and women have ample em-
ployment and medical care." C B.
Lightfoot of Timpson.
Believe Texas should have some
legislation giving the returning ser-
vice men priority on state jobs.”
Jake M Mabe of Eagle Pass.
"Am in favor of some state legis-
lation ..." Frank E. White of Grove-
ton.
"I would not say that the Federal
government has completely planned
for the return of the service men
but I think they will, and I think
they should and I do not think it is
SHAEF to Reveal
Lines Once Daily
SUPREME HEADQUARTERS
ALLIED EXPEDITIONARY
FORCES, Paris, Dee. 21—On—It
was announced officially last night
that hereafter positions of German
and Allied armies will be made
public once daily—after a suffici-
ent time lag to make sure the en-
emy will get ne benefit from the
information.
The decision was announced after
protests from almost all the Allied
world over recent suppression of
news concerning German gains en
the western front.
Supreme headquarters explained
the news blackout had been impos-
ed because of the fluid military sit-
uation and the belief by Allied
generals that information on troop
positions, even if it were days late,
might help the Germans.
It was indicated the time lag in
announcements henceforth prob-
ably would be between 34 and 48
hours.

Christmas Mail
Jams Postoffice
Ten thousand sacks of Christmas
mail had been sent from Abilene at
11:30 this morning and all indica-
tions are that this December's mail-
ing is the greatest in the history of
the postoffice. Postmaster O. A.
Hale said today.
"We are over the peak in dis-
patching such mail but we are
at the peak right now in receiv-
ing it. Special delivery gift par-
cels and letters will be delivered
Christmas Day. Whether or not
we deliver those same items
Sunday will depend on the
amount of help we have and
the amount of Christmas mail,"
the postmaster added.
Mails, Mr. Hale continued are
behind schedule and Christmas
packages will be distributed until
January probably, judging from the
dates on parcels received here.
Forty additional persons were em-
ployed to help during the Chritmas
rush, the same number as last year.
