200,000 Wanted
For War Work
To Speed Victory
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 (UP)—The White
House, in a move timed with the great new
* Allied offensive in Europe, today pressed a
desperate home front drive for 200,000 “able
bodied men, willing to do hard work” to assure
Allied troops enough munitions to carry them to
Berlin.
Scarcely an hour after Gen. Eisenhower
started six Allied armies totaling 1,500,000 men
into the Reich, War Mobilization Director
Byrnes issued a blunt warning that unless the
manpower is found to spur lagging war pro
grams, he would halt all recently resumed
civilian production.
“Much of the manpower trouble is due to the
mistaken belief on the part of some people that
the war is about over/’. Byrnes said. “Two
hundred thousand additional able-bodied men,
willing to do hard work, could break the bottle
neck in the critical programs and shorten the
war.”
Byrnes directed the heads of the army,
navy, maritime commission. War Manpower
Commission, and War Production Board, to
make immediate investigations and then hold a
joint conference to plan a concerted attack on
the bottlenecks.
Gen. Eisenhower will broadcast from his
headquarters in Europe an urgent appeal at
3:30 p. m. (EWT) Sunday for the production
of more artillery 7 and artillery ammunition, the
war department announced.
(The war department announced that 1,000 soldiers
will be released from active service to help relieve critical
manpower shortages in foundries and forge shops produc
ing heavy artillery, artillery ammunition, tanks and
trucks, INS reported.
(The department said this step had been made neces
sary by the failure of efforts to recruit additional workers
from civilian sources.)

a Christmas bonus, it was re
vealed today.
Chairman William P. Edmonson
said stocks were being accumu
lated and that distillers had made
commitments sufficient to carry
out the plan.
“But we cannot announce
definitely that there will be a
bonus until the additional

PROMISED PLENTY
The chairman and Commis
sioners Felix H. H. Flynn and
Theodore I. Fry have contacted
every distiller doing business in
i Michigan and have been promised
(larger quantities for the holidays.
The action of the federal govern
ment in allowing manufacture of 1
i spirits during January was a
major selling point. Fry explained.
Gen. Louis A. Kunzig, general
manager for the commission, ;ias
also been pressing distillery rep
resentatives to release more
whisky and has taken steps for
the bonus distribution.
Yesterday he notified all state
store managers that from now on
they would receive increased
shipments.
“But you arc to *el! only your

Judge Miller
Blasts Track
In Suit Ruling
By CHARLES CRELLIV
The $51,000,000 Detroit
race track business was
branded illegal today by Cir
cuit Judge Miller in an opin
ion which held that since the
state receives a share of the
money bet at the track it is a
partner in a criminal enter
prise.
Declaring that the legislative
act of 1933 which permits the
track to operate is “unconstitu
tional," Judge Miller declared:
“The whole system is *o in
consistent, hypocritical and il
logical as to amount to a public
disgrace.”
BARNS BASIS OF SUIT
Judge Miller issued the opinion
in a suit filed by Attys. Arnold F.
Zeleznik and George Day in behalf
of property owners on State Fair
avenue, who objected to construc
tion of new horse bams on the
Fair Grounds.
Although he denied the tem
porary injunction. Judge Miller
held that the case should be tried
on its merits.
If the final decision N In accord
with the opinion, and if it is up
held by the state supreme court,
the track will he compelled to
close permanently.
PLAN TO APPEAL
Assistant Attorney General Ben
H. Cole, who argued the case be
fore Judge Miller, said:
“We most assuredly will ap
peal thin case to the supreme
court aa soon as the court order
la filed. The aarne legislation
has been enacted in other atatea
and held to valid.
“Of courae in Michigan it will
depend on what the supreme
court thlnka of the Legislature’s
power to pass auch a law.”
“The atate ia now engaged in
a bualneaa which it has declared
criminal and ia constantly pun
ishing,” the judge declared.
Pointing out that the Detroit
Racing Association, a private firm
which operates the track under
supervision of the state racing
commission, receives about 10*2
per cent of every dollar bet, Mil
ler added:

7 Armies Hit
Toward Rhine
SUPREME HQ., AEF, Nov. 17 (INS)— Already
1(> miles inside heavily defended German territory*
the United States First Army ripped and tore a
steel-tipped salient through the dense Hurtgen
Forest today, capturing a dozen towns along the
approaches to Cologne and the Rhine.
Spearheading a gigantic seven-army Allied offensive
aimed at crushing all enemy resistance in the Rhineland, the
First Army reached a point six miles from the populous
German city of Duren which guards the low-lying plains
l>efore Cologne.
Gressenich, eight and a half miles east of Aachen and
the same distance west-southwest of Duren, was scooped up
in the monumental drive which saw some 1,500,000 Allied
troops and 500,000 hard-pressed German soldiers in combat
on a front of 450 miles from Holland to the Jura mountains
of central France.
Duren, virtually midway be
tween Aachen and Cologne, com
mands the main highways into the
latter city from the south and is
one of the most important com
munication centers serving that
area of the Siegfried Line.
RHINE, 28 MILES
The First Army stands within
less than 28 miles of the Rhine.
Lee Carson, International News
Service staff correspondent with
that army, reported that enemy
positions were bombarded with
12,200 tons of explosives in prepa
ration for the drive.
Allied heavy bombers hung up a
record by dropping 10.000 tons in
four hours on the Nazis; artillery
pieces hurled 1,000 tons of shells
at them during the night and
blasted them with 20 tons a min
ute for one hour before the in
fantry jump-off. this dispatch said.
By contrast, enemy activity was
slight.
ADMITS BREAKTHROUGH
(Capt. Ludwig Sertorius. Nazi
Transocean agency military
analyst, admitted the First
Army has ripped a hole in the
German lines east of Stolberg,
eight miles east of Aaachen.
(The great late autumn of*
fensive of the Allies, which be
gan with the attack by the
Third Army in Lorraine Nov. 8,
now has entered It* second
phase,” Sertorius asserted.
(BBC, heard by CBS, re
ported the First Army has cap
tured Stolberg.)
The gigantic bid to demolish
the German armies of the Rhine
land and crash through to Co
logne, Bonn and Dusseldorf in
overwhelming strength rocked the
home soil of the Reich in a mighty
drive which enabled Gen. Eisen
hower to report “excellent prog
ress.”
1,500,000 ON MOVE
An estimated 1,500,000 Allied
troops were on the move—a
crushing superiority of three to
one over the defending Germans
—and gains of six miles and cap
ture of many towns within the
enemy’s defense perimeter were
recorded as the great offensive
roared into its second day.
