Assault on Aschcn Serves Warning To Germans on Fate of Reich Cities (Continued From Page 1) 24 hour ultimatum to surrender the city. At exactly noon the Yanks be gan hurling a terrible weight of heavy shells and aerial might against the ancient city of Char lemagne.

Eight inch 155. millimeter Long Toms and 105 millimeter Howitzers unloosed a thunderous assault. The Cacophony signaled that the assault on Aachen had begun and served as a warning to the rest of Germany that their cities will be destroyed if they are turned into fortresses. Divebombers roared out of the sky and dumped their explosives about the enemy hiding cel lars and the rubble of buildings battered by previous shelling and bombing. Not all the German troops in' side Aachen wanted to stay and fight to the death as their Fuehrer had ordered.

Before noon more than 100 slipped through their own lines. They said many more wanted to accept the ultimatum, but their officers would not let them. At dawn the Yanks saw hun' dreds of white sheets hanging from Aachen windows obviously placed by civilians who defied Nazi orders for evacuation of all towns in this area. If he accepted the ultimatum, the German commander of Aachen was to send a representative un der a flag of truce to the railway on the outskirts of the city and arrange the surrender. The en emy was to pass through the line in groups of 50, leaving weapons behind.

Lookouts kept a watch on the pre arranged meeting place. Sev eral times it appeared as though the garrison might be surrendering when German soldiers neared the spot, but they were only trying to escape and bore no message. At 10.50 a. m. no one had ap peared.

Automatically the plans for battering 'Aachen by artillery and air began to take shape. Noon was set for the opening of the ar tillery barrage. Extra ammunition had been issued to the gun crews. They stood in readiness Dive bombers were alerted and within a few minutes were wing' ing toward Aachen. down.

U. S. Commander Waits On a ridgetop before Aachen we waited at a command post for word from the forward unit which was to receive the surrender if the enemy capitulated. No correspondents were per mitted to visit that advance unit, "We do not want anything to happen which might prevent the surrender," an officer explained it mere is any unusual move ment, the enemy might get sus picious, and there might be hitch. We want to give them every possible chance and then what happens after that is their own responsibility." The hands of an old erandfa ther clock in one room ticked off the minutes.

Artillery kept fir ing, not into Aachen but north east oi tne city against enemy troops forming up for a counter' attack against Crucifix Hill. Planes circled overhead. The hands of the clock reached 10.50 and moved on. A high ranking officer came to the doorway of the command post, and shook his head. "Yesterday we told the Ger mans in Aachen to surrender or we would destroy their city." he said.

his morning they de cided to let us do it. The officers refuse to surrender. Now we have to break the will of the officers, "This ultimatum is not without its mixed blessings. We got a lot of prisoners. Each one of them was carrying a copy of the leaflets we dropped.

There were about 100 in one group who came out of their pillboxes and that is a lot of men when they are inside pillboxes. It saves us the trouble of digging them out." in a cage nearby were 19 pris' oners taken out of Aachen. A Nazi lieutenant was sleeping off tne eilects of a spree which re suited when all troops inside Aachen yesterday were issued whisky and wine rations one bottle of whisky to three men. and a bottle of wine for each two men. Many of their comrades wanted to surrender without fighting for Aachen, the captives said, but the omcers threatened to shoot any who did not stand and light.

The Aachen garrison has SS officers commanding troops to keep them at their posts. Near noon the bedsheets hang ing from windows began to disappear. Evidently the Nazis were forcing civilians to take them Exchangites Hear Talk Dr. Chester A. Good, city dentist, spoke on 'The South American Way" at a meeting of the Exchange Club of Harrisburg in the Harrisburger Hotel today.

Stolen Child Home (Continued From Pare 1) tion, police said the Identification Bureau had reported the print of one finger found in the King home corresponded with one of Mrs. Smith's prints. Wencel said Smith told him his wife said last June she was ex pecting a baby. "Later that month" quoted Smith as saying, "My wife said she wanted to her mother in Metropolis. I didn't think it advisable for her to travel, but she told me she had consult ed with her physician and he said it would be all right.

She left and a few days later I got a card from her. She said she had given birth to a four pound son. On July she came home without the baby." Smith went on to explain. Wen eel said, that his wife told him the child had been born prema turely, was in an incubator at Wesley Memorial Hospital in Chi cago and could not be moved. When Smith arrived home from his drugstore late Saturday night, Sept.

30, the child was there, and his wife explained that a relative had brought him from Chicago, wencel said. "The baby was very light and had blue eyes, Wencel quoted Smith, "But I didn't become sus' picious until I saw the kidnaping stories in the papers. Then I ques tionea my wite about it, but she told a plausible story." After a woman living in the same house with the Smiths re marked about the child's size for his age, Smith said he called the Chicago Hospital and found that his wife never had been a patient there. He was continuing his in vestigation, Smith told detectives, when the arrest was made. Co operation Urged (Continued From Pace 1) great material aid given by the united States.

Previously, in referring to the achievements of Allied statesmen in dafting the Dumbarton Oaks Security Plan, Stalin also had turned to Harriman and paid special compliment to Secretary ot state cordell Hull. Churchill was visibly moved by Stalin's acknowledgment of the British American war effort. "It is a sign of a great nation and a great man to be magnani mous and generous, the British Prime Minister said. "I have al ways thought, and I think now. that it was the Ked Army which clawed the guts out of the filthy Nazis.

Harriman, who spoke twice in response to Stalin's remarks, said the united States was not pre pared for war but that Japan had rendered a service by "throwing us into it. The banquet was attended by approximately 50 statesmen, dip lomats and military men. The guests were welcomed by G. I. Fomin, acting protocol chief of tha Foreign Commissariat, who ush ered each in turn to where Stalin and Foreign Commissar Vyache slav Molotov were waiting to ex tend greetings.

Stalin was clad In a light khaki uniform and wore no medals or decorations, but the star of a Soviet Marshal gleamed from each shoulder. Churchill wore a red tabbed colonel's uniform and a row of ribbons on his left breast. After a round of Martini cock tails, Stalin led the way to the banquet hall, where caviar and zakuski assorted cold Russian delicacies introduced the elabo rate meal. A toast to President Roosevelt was proposed by Molotov. Churchill and Stalin sat side by side.

When the guests retired to another room for coffee, the two continued taiKing. uuests re marked that rarely in Moscow history had such lavish expressions of Allied friendshiD been made. London, Oct. 11, (JFi The exile Polish government's Ministry of! Information said today that Prime Minister Stanislaw Mikolajczyk had been invited to join the conferences between Prime Minister Churchill and Marshal Stalin in Moscow. The invitation, extended also to Polish Foreign Minister Tadeusz Romer, tended to confirm belief that the long standing Soviet Polish dispute was a prime cause for Churchill's trip to the Russian capital.

It appeared here that Churchill had gained the first objective in an effort to end the dispute and mend a potential rift in Allied relations The cabinet of the exiled government, hurriedly summoned into special session, approved acceptance of the invitation "in principle," and it is probable that the peasant borne Premier and his Foreign Minister will start shortly on their second mission to Moscow The invitation, and the fact it was extended little more than 24 hours after Churchill and Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden had ar rived in the Russian capital, un derscored the importance whith Britain government attaches to the quick solution of the differ ence between Russia and Poland. It appeared obvious that Churchill had impressed upon Premier Stalin the necessity for taking time out from direction of Russia's far flung military efforts to help erase differences with Poland which have been seized upon by the in their propaganda campaign to split the Allies. Meanwhile, it was learned that the Polish government in London will stand squarely upon Mikola jczyk's memorandum to Moscow outlining his desire for long term friendship between Poland and Russia and sketching a proposed coalition government for establish ment after return to his homeland. Under the coalition plan, the new government would be made up of Poland five political parties including the Communist roarty which is the backbone of the Soviet sponsored National Libera tion Committee on a basis of equal representation. It would serve until a general election could be held.

C. Assault Opsns (Continued From Pace 1) Leopold canal, spearhead of the push from the south to knock the Germans from the Lower Schelde area. The Allies heavily bombarded the holdout port of Dunkerque on the French coast.

George S. Patton's Third Army was fighting house to house in Maiziere Les Metz miles north of the French fortress city of Metz, east of Luneville, his men 'advanced about a mile. Positions were improving east of Epinal despite increased German cannon fire. Bridgehead Established A substantial bridgehead was reported established across the Moselotte River in the Le Thillot sector, where "heavy losses were inflicted on the enemy." The Longaeoutte and Gehan forests were largely mopp up. West of Belfort, where the American Seventh and French First Armies are striving to ne totiate the Belfort Gap between the Vosges and Alps, "progress has been made in the Champagney region," headquarters said.

The last Allied position was reported within eight miles of Belfort. Attention, however, centered largely on the dramatic climax aDDroachine at Aachen. During the 24 hours which the ultimatum ran. the Allied radio at Luxem' boure warned at intervals hour after hour that the defenders must make up their minds quickly, or see the city levelled. Duff Upholds Legality Of Dead Soldier Ballot Attorney General James Duff today issued an emphatic ruling upholding the legality of the vote cast by a soiaier wno may die after mailing it for counting at the November general election.

"Without any doubt whatso ever," Dun advised governor Martin, "a soldier having cast his vote under the Pennsylvania mili tary ballot law is entitled to have that vote counted, even if he happens to die before the time fixed by the act of assembly for counting soldier ballots. Governor Martin said in i statement making public the rul ing that he asked for it "to settle once and for all the controversy that has been raging for the past few days as to whether the ballot of a soldier who has died after it has been cast can be counted." Chief Justice Stone Has 72nd Birthdav Washington. Oct. 11, (fP) Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone, presid ing over a tribunal now tackling the first work of a potentially complicated new term, became 72 years old today.

His schedule called for spending the day on the bench and in con ferences with his Supreme Court colleagues. Indications are that he expected to serve indefinitely as head of the tribunal although he has been eligible to retire, at full pay of $20,500 annually, since Oct. 11, 1942. U. S.

Planes Blast Cologne, Coblenz London, Oct. 11, Military targets in the areas of Cologne and Coblenz, key supply points close behind the western front, were attacked today by American Flying Fortresses, escorted by long range Thunderbolts and Mustangs. The attack was carried out by a smaller force than usual, indicating hundreds of heavy bombers possibly were being held in reserve for the assault on Aachen The German radio reported formations of Allied bombers swing ing up across Austria from the south. Never Travel Alone, Nazis in Italy Told Rome, Oct. 11, (fP) The com mander of the German 5th Infan try Division in Italy has ordered his troops "never to ride or walk alone in patriot territory." Asserting that "German deserters arecreening patriots," the order added that Italian civilians had obtained German equipment, including uniforms.

"Do not doze off or sleep. Be on your guard. Trust nobody and shoot on me oraer said. The commander said a house garrisoned by Germans near Civ itella had been surrounded by a score of patriots, four of them armed and wearing German tropi' cal uniform helmets. The four, spealcing fluent German, over powered and dragged away two sentries.

Yesterday's communique on the Ryukyu raid said, "There was no damage to our surface ships and our plane losses were light.

Significantly in demonstrating how the American fleet can dis perse its units in strength, this blow fell one day after battleships spent all day Sunday blowing to bits the Japanese defenses on Marcus Island, more than 1500 miles east of the Ryukyus. In another communique last night, Namitz announced that 81st Division troops which invaded a tenth island in the Palaus Sunday completely secured it within 24 hours. It is the tiny island of Garakayo, to the north of the larger American holding of Pe leliu. The 10 islands and islets provide the Yanks with an ex panding base within 515 miles of the Philippines.

Douglas MacArthur an nounced today, fighter planes and patrol torpedo boats broke up an enemy attempt earlier this week to reinforce Japanese remnants holding out against American forces which landed September 15. Eighteen barges were sunk or damaged in the action. A few barges may have put some troops ashore but a spokesman said there was no cause for any concern about the American situation. In the detailed account of the Ryukyu attack, based on admit tedly "preliminary reports," Nim ltz said these results were achieved: Sunk a destroyer; a mine' sweeper; a submarine tender; two medium cargo ships; two small cargo ships; five coastal cargo ships.

"Pockets of resistance continued but by 10 a. m.

Oct. 10 these had been overcome and consolidation in the town and on the hills over looking the port was completed." Mopping up operations con tinued around the town of Gjashdle. Attack Kailyards Both air and naval operations were reported in connection with the Allied campaign to wipe out the last enemy units in the whole of the Balkans. Balkan Air Force Beaufighters with Mustang escort attacked barracks and railyards at Kriz, in Yugoslavia 30 miles southeast of Zagreb. The escort shot down a Dornier 217 and two single engined biplanes.

At Senj, on the Dalmatian coast southeast of Fiume, an enemy ship was left afire when Beaufighters hit it with 25 rockets. The naval command announced that the British destroyer H. M. S.

Oct. II. 1944 Russians Launch (Continued From Page 1) ensive was expected. The thrust past Lomza (in Northern Poland) is directed toward Allenstein and Danzig, and the thrust from Memel is toward Tilsit and Ko nigsberg," capital of East Prussia and a city of 368,000. The New Russian drives were located north of Warsaw and south of Roznan, which lies near the Narew River, northeast of the rubbled Polish capital.

The Ger mans acknowledged local breaches which they said were "cleared or liquidated." Taurage lies on the Jura River 20 miles from Tilsit on the road between that city and besieged Riga, capital of Latvia. It is in an area where fnpm three to five tierman divisions were snanereo and threatened with entrapment, on the basis of Moscow reports By Eddy Gilmore Moscow, Oct. 11, (IP) Russian troops fought within seven miles of Memel and 15 of the East Prus sian rail center of Tilsit today after slashing to the Baltic Sea above the port, cutting land routes for up to 150,000 Germans still in 1 1 1 salvia ana jjiuiuama. Yet another death trap was be ing fashioned in a Soviet drive southeast of Memel, which Hitler annexed to East Prussia early in 1939 from Lithuania. Advancing along the last 50 miles separating them from the sea south of Memel, the Russians swept along the Niemen river in a lightning move which appeared likely to cut off from three to five enemy divisions between Taurage and Kirisches Haff.

Ten German divisions, totalling perhaps 150,000 Nazis, were trapped yesterday in a Latvian pocket north of Memel when Gen Ivan C. Bagramian's battering ram overran the Baltic beaches, 15 miles above the besieged and shell rocked port. At Riga, advance armored units were reported probing the city's outer defenses in repeated strikes. Bagramians offensive, which already has mauled and crippled six German divisions, compressed the remnants of ten other di visions into a pocKet between Liepaja and Riga, with no escape except the sea. More than 300 towns and vil lages were reported captured north and southwest of Memel as the Russians advanced, including Kretinga, a large railway station 12 miles northeast ot the port.

Darbenai and Lenkimai, seven and 10 miles from the sea north east of Memel. also fell. The So viet forces crashed through to the Lithuanian Baltic coast at Pal anga. Ring Tightened The siege ring also was drawn tighter around Riga with occupa tion of 60 places, including Stopini, only seven miles from the port. Meanwhile, on the Yugoslav Hungarian front, one Soviet column was reported fighting in the outskirts of the Hungarian citv of Debrecen, a communica' tions hub controlling international routes to Czechoslovakia, Poland and Romania.

There were no new reports on the offensive aimed at Budapest. (The Germans have placed the nearest Russian force at bzoinoK, 50 miles from the Hungarian capi tal.) Combined Soviet and Yugoslav partisan forces advanced toward Belgrade, cutting the Nis BeL grade railway and highway route with capture of VehKo fiana, miles southeast of the capital, Several cities along the Morava v. si i iiTi river between Belgrade and wis also fell to the combined forces, Tilsit Shelled Red Army forces southeast of Memel were less than 18 miles from the German communications center of Tilsit, in East Prussia, and eight miles from East Prussia's northern frontier. Only 48 miles of the Niemen river the Ger mans' defense line along tne en tire north of East Prussia re mained in Nazi hands. (A Moscow dispatch received in London by Reuters, British news agency, said Red Army artillery had begun shelling pf Til sit with heavy batteries brought to advanced positions on the Memel front.) The Army newspaper Red Star reported Soviet tank forces pushing down two highways toward Memel one leading into the port from the north from captured Palange, and the other the Memel Tilsit highway north of the Nie men.

German forces being compressed into the triangle formed by Me mel, a tiny strip of southwestern Lithuania and the Niemen north of Tilsit included a large number of tankmen and crews of self propelled guns, who have lost their weapons. Badly battered infan' try forces also were believed in the newly developing pocket Red Air Force bombers and fighters attacked German shipping at Memel and Riga, with low flying Stormoviks joining the assaults on transports and warships in both harbors. Other air craft bombed and strafed convoys and individual vessels off the coast from north of Memel to Konigsberg. Osmena Quits Capital; On Way to Philippines Washington, Oct. 11, P) President Sergio Osmena of the Philippine government in exile has left Washington, presumably to be ready for a quick return to his homeland once General Douglas MacArthur's troops begin the promised liberation of the island commonwealth.

His departure follows closely that of Brig. Gen. Carlos Romulo, Philippine resident commissioner who told Congress September 21 he was leaving "on what I trust is my way back to the Philip pines." The 61 year old Osmena moved up from the vice presidency of the exiled government after the death in August of President Manuel L. Quezon. The two left Corregidor by submarine on Feb ruary 20, 1942, as the invading Japanese closed in.

Osmena was forced to leave his wife and 10 children behind in the islands. 17 STOCKS New York, Oct. 11, (IP) Noon stocks: Air Reduction 40 Al Chem and Dye .1504 Am Can 90 Am and For Pow Am Rad and St Am Smelt and Am Tel and Tel Am Tob Anaconda Cop Atch and Atl Refining Bald Loco Ct Bait and Ohio 4y, 12 i 414 .163 68 .27 63 29 23 8tt Bendix Aviat 44 Beth Steel 63 'i Boeing Airplane 15 Borden Co 33 Briggs Mfg 39 Budd Mfg 11 Ches and Ohio 46 Chrysler Corp 92 Colum and El 4 Coml Solvents 16 Cons Edison 24 Cont Can 40 Curtiss Wright 6 Del Lack and West 7i Douglas Aircraft 69 Du Pont de 155 El Auto Lite 45y8 Gen Elec 28 Gen Foods 42 Gen Motors 63 Gen Refract 22 Vfe Greyhound Corp 22 Harb Walker 18 111 Central LL 62 Int Harvester 79 Int Nick Can 30 Int Tel and Tel 17V2 Johns Manville 100 12 Kennecott Cop 35V4 Kresge 25 Lehigh Val Coal 2 Leh Val 5 Libby McN and 72 Loews Inc 65 Montgom Warjd 53 Nat Biscuit 23 Nat Dairy Prod 25 Nat Distillers 35 Nat Pow and Lt 6 Central 18 North Amer Co 19 14 Northern Pacific 16 14 Packard Motor 5 Param Pictures 26 Penn 29 Pub Svc 1714 Pullman 46 Pure Oil 15 Radio Corp of Am 10 Repub Steel 1910 Sears Roebuck 101 Socony Vacuum 12 Sperry Corp 27 14 Stand Brands 29 Stand Oil Cal 36 Stand Oil Ind 33 A stand Oil 5514 Studebaker Corp 18 Swift and Co 30 y4 Texas Co 45 United Aircraft 31 United Gas Imp 134' Rubber 50 Steel 58 Warner Bros Pict 13 West El and Mfg 107 Woolworth 44 Youngst Sh and 39 Local Retail Markets Appes. pec 202So Apples, bushel $2.002.50 Apples, dried, quart 30e Bananas, pound 13c Beans, green, Vt peck 1020c Beans, lima, green, pint 40c Beets, bunch 10c Blackberries, box unmian Butter, creamery, pound 4850c Cocoanut, pound 7580e Cabbage, head 520c Cantaloupes, apiece 20S840e Carrots, bunch joe Cauliflower, apiece 30(S)50e Celery, stalk 1015e Cherries, box 25e Corn, dozen AnmKn Cucumbers, apiece sjffilOc Currants, quart box 25c Eggs, dozen 35fJ52o Eggplant, apiece JO 30c Endive, peck i .0 Grapes, pound 3545e Grapefruit, apiece 1015e Huckleberries, box 45a Kale.
