1 Paris, Feb, 21. (AP) — Scots of
the Canadian army captured the
northern German fortress city of
Goch"/today while in the center of
the western front the American
Third army advanced up to five
miles in a broad sweep in the Mo-
selle valley toward the Rhine,
seizing 11 towns.
Lt. Gen. George S. Patton's
tanks and infantry thundered
forward through the Eifel moun-
tain on a 50-mile front. Van-
guards reached to within two
miles of the heavily fortified road
center of Saarb'urg, a'key to Ger-
man defenses along the Moselle.
' In the north, the last enemy sui-
cide squads were cleared from the
ruined road* center of Goch, once
a town of 13,500 and still the cen-
ter of eight military highways,
fc The Scots thrust on 600 yards
southwestward. Goch is eight
miles south ' of captured Kleve,
and 17 miles southeast of the
.. .Dutch, .city ofNljmegen, whence
the Canadian intensive started.
Beyond the once - bristling
town lies a small open plain in
which no fixed German fortifica-
tions have been noted.
British empire troops fighting
with. Gen. Henry Crerar's com-
mand gathered momentum and
drove- deeper into the center of,
\ German defenses in synchronized
thrusts through BuchhoR and
Jfalvorbuom, villages near be-
selged Calcar. - ' '
. Scottish troops seized the marsh-
land village of Buehholt and
pushed on toward the German
stronghold of Uodcm, only two
v and a half miles to the southeast.
# On Patton's southern flank, the
U. S. Seventh army pressed to
less than three mites of the ruin-
ed Saar district capital of Saar-
brucken, plunged across the Saar
river anew to capture the Ger-
man village of Kloin-Blittcrsdorf,
and struck into'the outskirts of
Forbuch, French rail center which
- almost joins Saarbrucken.
/ The British Second and Ameri-
can First and Ninth armies stood
In mighty 'strength along the re-
ceding Rocr river between the
Canadians and Patton's Third
{/ army. The Germans repeated that,
'■/ an offensive was imminent across
the Rocr toward the great cities
of the Rhine and the Ruhr val-
leys. - . 4
Patton 'finally got his armor
clanking up the Moselle valley to-
ward the Rhine after many days
of bitter fighting in the Siegfried
line and in floods caused by thaws
and freshets.
An armored division which
broke across the Moselle drove up
to five miles in the triangle form-
ed by the Saar and Moselle and
captured Orsoholz, Freudcnburg
and Kollesleucken. The same out-
fit cleared Kelstn and Korrig,
moving within two miles south-
west of the fortified road center
of Sanrburg, a key to German de-
fense)).
In a push five miles to the
north to a point three miles from |
the confluetice of the SCaar and i
Moselle, armored units formed a j
junction with a cavalry, outfit!
Avtiich cleared Wincheringen, a j
, mile inside qermany.
Tanks and self propelled guns i
also cleared Dittling, four miles
southwest of Saarburg, and cap- ;
tured Thorn, Kreuzwiller and j
Dilmar ■—- all in the area' seven!
miles or so southwest of Saar- j
bur- . - j
Patton's charging men captured |
1,000 prisoners in the Saar-Mo- \
selle triangle alone in fighting
yesterday. '

AIMA SRNPSON
CONFESSES TO
POISON MURDER
Confronted repeatedly withjthe
accusation . that she had caused
the death of her husband( Allen
A. Simpson, 58, who died at their
home at 717 Leopole February 3,
by giving him poison, Alma Simp-
Son, widow of .the dead man today
broke down and confessed, "Yes,
I finally made up my mind to do
it—I put carbolic acid in liquor
and gave it to him". She review-
ed the circumstance of her hus- 1
band dying about 5:30 o'clock'
Saturday evening, February 3.
About H o'clock, she informed a
neighbor of what had happened,
she said. The woman said she
decided two months ago to get rid
of her husband.
When Justice of the Peace J. P.
Swain and Deputy Sheriff Roy
Robinson appeared, she told them
that her husband had been drink-
ing heavily and that he had "just
died". Her word was accepted.
A near relative of the man was
said to have become suspicious of
the real cause of death and urged
an investigation. The confession
was made to County Attorney W.
P. Sexton, who filed a charge of
^nurdcr against her in Justice of
the Peace J. P. Swain's court. The
self - confessed murderer, aged a-
bout 45, showed little remorse or
emotion. She is being held in the
county jail pending an investiga-
tion by tho grand jury which is
now in session. V! 1
The body of Simpson, a ship-
yard worker, was shipped by the
Hanscom funeral home to Ruston,

RUSSIAN ASSAULT TEAMS DRIVEi house
AND CITY hall
BRIEFS
OF BRANDENBURG PROVINCE
>♦ «<«
By William L. Ryan, Associated
Press War Editor
Russian assault teams ol infan-
try* tanks and mobile guns drove
doggedly westward in the wooded
hills of, Berlin's Brandenburg
province Against strong German
positions at Guben and Foist. The
tempo of Marshal Ivan S. Konev's
drive has slackened somewhat, but
there was a general impression
in Moscow that his present blows
were building a springboard for a
new push on the Nazi capital.
In Italy American troops at-
tacking over forbidding mountain
terrain captured Monte Belvedere
and- fought vicious German oppo-
sition for heights west of the Pis-
tola - Bologna highway. The Ger-
mans had held 3,500-foot Monte
Belvedere since they captured it
last Nov. 29.
In Yugoslavia Marshal Tito's
liberation army captured Zvor-
nik, important road center 75"
miles southwest of Belgrade, and
destroyed parts of 'the German
22nd division in several days of
bitter fighting. °
More than 1,200 RAF planes, m
the ninth straight day of -Allied
bombing, assaulted Dortmund,
Dusscldorf, Berlin and other reich
targets'during the night. From
Italy U. S. 12th air force lighter-
bombers made their first attack
of the war yesterday on and near
Berchtcsgaden, Hitler's mountain
retreat which may be his last
hiding place.
'German radios broadcast a rap-
id stream of Warnings thi;> morn-
ing, indicating renewed daylight

sive which has seon some 10,000

yards. -—■

DRIVES SEEN
By the Ascociated Press
Little Joo Goebbels, Heir Hit-
ler's bull - voiced propaganda
minister, has been complaining
that the Allies have ganged up
on the reich and says Germany
could win hands oown if it could
take oh Its enemies singly.
The last time 1 saw Joe he was
spell - binding 50,000 people iri
an outdoor meeting in Berlin, just
before Munich, it wasn't much
impressed with his line ok double-
talk at the time — though he put
on a good show —- but it must be
admitted he has something now.
The Allies not only have gauged,
but as I sec it tney re giving a re-
markable display of military uni-
ty.
Allied activities on both east-
ern .and western fronts point to
early intensification of the big
squeeze on Hltlcrdori). One of the
most satisfactory aspects of this
is" that it represents a full part-
nership and concerted action. The
big three are going In for the kill
together.
Now barring a great emergency
the western allies wouldn't be at-
tempting an all - out offensive at
this time. As I (Jointed out yes-
terday, this is the season when
the Rhineland weather is at its
worst — aiidthat's mighty bad.
The vital work of the tactical air-
force frequently (s suspended for
days because of dense fog or rain
--•it Is largely halted today, for
instance. The terrain ejther is a
see of mud or Is undfjrfwattr. The
Allied troops — Cadadlang, kilted
Scotsmen, Britons, Frepch. Yanks
—have had to fight'in mufj. and
water to their waists at times, and
Actually MK'o had to use amphib-
ious equipment in some places
which normally are high and dry.
Despite all this General Eisen-
hower has kept on attacking and
Improving his positions in prep-
aration for the big push, instead
of waiting for decent weather with
the beginning of April, only a fe^w
weeks away. The full weight'of
our armies is needed on the west-
ern front to complement the Red
drive.
Rdndstedt may try to. withdraw
across the Rhine rather than make
a stand orv. the Cologne plain.
Transference of the main battle
line to tile east fide of the Rhine
might produce some sensational
developments. The greet Allied
air - borne army likely would be
brought into action, for instance.
Then there's another possibility, if
the Germans are able to stand off
the Allied advance and .hang onto
northern Germany This is an
Allied amphibious invasion of the
German coast from the North sea
—in the bremta or Hahbur'g area.
-Non - jury matters only will be
handled in district court here for
the remainder of the week, the

Twenty thousand dollars was^set
, as the goal by Ihe Orange swim-
' iriing pool finance committee in
its drive to raise funds for down
payment on the proposed city
swimming pood. Tnis committee
and the mayor's swlmrplng pool

orities also \yele Ironed out dur-
ing the meeting.
When the goal of $20,000 is
ranched, It will be turned over to

Everyone knows Ihe great need
for a swimming pool in the indus-
trial center. Each year children
drown iii the nearby bayous be-
cause of the lack of. adequate
swimming facilities in Orange
county. A swimmldg pool has
been recommended by President

ed war areas and the federal se-
curity agency to help stabilize es-
sential labor and otter wholeaome
rocrealion to the war workers and
their children.
