Hicks Escapes With Cuts
As Shell Kills 4 in Attack
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 25.—George
Hicks, chief correspondent of the
Blue network in the European the
ater of operations, said in a broad
cast yesterday that four men were
killed and that he and other news
men narrowly escaped death when
the front of a house was blown in
during a German bombing and
strafing attack Saturday.
Mr. Hicks said he received a small
cut on the left cheek and other
scratches and that debris fell across
the back of James Cassidy, another
radio correspondent.
The identity of the victims was
not given.
Correspondents and soldiers were
in the house on a road leading to
the Stavelot-Bastogne sector, he
said.

way. Heavy fighting raged near
Rambrouch. 5 miles to the east
inside Luxembourg.
Sixteen miles due north of the
capital of the duchy American lines
were advanced.
(A possible 9-mile advance was
indicated, since on Friday the
Americans had been operating in
the area of Mersch, 7 miles
southeast of Grosbous.)
Gains were made in an area 8
miles west and northwest of Die
kirch, or about 18 to 19 miles above
the city of Luxembourg.
Yet another American force ham
mered on east of Diekirch. appar
ently around Berdorf, 17 miles
northeast of the city of Luxembourg
and less than a mile and a half
from the German border.
Supreme headquarters disclosed
last night that the German drive
virtually had been stalled for 48
hours up to late Saturday. The only
reported German gain anywhere
along the offensive front carried
only about a mile to the vicinity of
Rosieres, 8 miles southwest of
Bastogne.
Enemy troop6 were in the hilly
heart of the Ardennes Forest, where
tank and mechanized movement are
difficult except along the main
roads.
West of St. Vith an American
force held its ridge line wedge
which has kept the enemy's Stave
lot salient divided from the big
Bastogne wedge to the south.
In the Stavelot sector, on the
north flank 12 miles northwest of St.
Vith, there were heavy exchanges
of artillery fire. The Germans
landed more parachute troop* Fri
day night in areas north and north
west of Stavelot. Supreme head
quarters disclosed that Saturday's
announcement that the Americans
had lost Stavelot was in error, al
though there had been seesaw
fighting at the outskirts.
