Having foregone its biennial convention in 1943 because of travel restrictions, the association has not held a national convention since before the war, the last one being held in Cincinnati.

Ohio, in 19-11. Because of the unprecedented lapse of time since any official action has been taken on a national scale, the members of the AAUW board has decided that a convention must be held this year. An election of officers is long past due, and action on the legislative measures which the association will endorse in the next two critical years is considered essential, it was pointed out. To accomplish these and other convention functions without travel.

The nomination next goes to the senate floor, probably Thursday, for a vote on confirmation. Chairman Thomas Utah said the committee received only two written protests to the nomination, and that one of those was unsigned.

Also approved at the same session were the appointments pf 77 others nominated to be brigadier generals, three to be lieutenant generals and 22 to be major generals.

WP Lt. John W. Springer, first officer tried in the railway battalion black cases, was convicted today of conspiracy to defraud the U. S. government and sentenced to 35 years at hard labor and dishonorable discharge.

Springer denied at his court martial that he ever had received money from enlisted men who testified yesterday they had paid him proceeds from black market sales of looked cigarets. Springer said he had received 20 to 30 cartons of cigarets from enlisted men but told the court he never sold any of these. I used them for bribing Frencn-men to get jobs done," he said, explaining that "I found a cigaret here and there would pep the French up a bit." Most of Springer's testimony on direct examination was devoted to showing that he worked 16 to 18 hours a day, was overburdened with the technical tasks of a yard master and never had any time for other things. Springer gave his age as 43 and said he had been a railroader for 30 years. RED ARMY- (Continued from Page One) The bulletin said counter-attacks in lower Silesia had broken through to the Russian-surrounded garrison in Steinau on the Oder's west bank 32 miles northwest of Breslau, In East Prussia, it added, Germans fighting westward trying to break out from a Russian pocket reached the Elbing bridgehead after a 19-mile gain German naval forces were thrown into the defense of Konigsberg, East Prussian capital, and helped stem Soviet attacks, the Berlin communique said.

The Russians expect a main German stand at the Oder river in the Frankfurt sector, he added, and are pushing ahead eager for a showdown battle. Some of Zhukov's southern forces are striking toward the Oder in the Glogau region, on the flank of Marshal Ivan Konev's First Ukrainian army. Moscow remained silent on developments on Konev's front.

Front dispatches said Soviet troops in Germany had painted slogans "On to Berlin" and "Berlin This Way" on their tanks, trucks and gun carriers.

FIRST AMD- (Continued from Page One) six miles south of St. Vith were rlpared. Patton poured more ana more troops up to the border; his operation assumed aspects oi a large attack. The Allied line has been brought up to expositions from which the present limited scope thrusts might explode at any time into a iuii iorce onslaught, to tase advantage oi German pre-occupation with the Russians. Elements of a whoie division were thrown into the fresh invasion, a little more than a dozen miles from the Siegfried pivot of Prum.

Near by Stupbach in Belgium also was taken. Well to the north, the Germans were executing a iresn witnarawai from Holland toward the Russian front. Berlin said the Canadian army was heavily shelling their lines east oi the Hoiianascn Diep, wnicn courses 14 miles south of the great Dutch port cf Rotterdam. (Berlin said the British Second army was trying to force the Roer river 27 miles southwest of Dussel-dorf with major attacks.) The little German village of Wel-chenhausen is eight miles south of St. Vith and was taken against stubborn resistance.

The Third army already was across the narrow, shallow Our river and in the outer fringes of the Siegfried line, the main works of which are two to three miles east. The rugged terrain, deep snow and absence of east-west roads precluded any spectacular gains in that area. Twin attacks by the American Third and First armies drew up close to or into the fringes of the Siegfried line along 40 miles of the Ardennes front, where the Wehrmacht was sapped danger-1 ously thin to bolster its smashed eastern front. At two places, the Third army invaded Germany anew. Fairly heavy movements of Germans were spotted pulling back into the Reich from the Holland section east of the Iissel Meer (Zuyder Zee), and RAF Mosquitoes harassed the foe.

German withdrawals eastward from the threatened Ruhr, in progress most of last week, practically ceased. Allied air forces swooped over lines of withdrawal and inflicted heavy damage on the railway centers of Munster, Paderborn. Det-mund. Hamm and Cologne. Flights were in the worst possible weather.

The Canadian army, at least six divisions strong, is deployed in the extreme north of the western front along the Maas (Meuset river and within six miles of Kleve, terminus of the Siegfried line. It has been virtually inactive since capturing Antwerp, well rested and refitted. Should it strike to the Ijssel Meer. it would cut off such cities as Rotterdam. Amsterdam, the Hague, Haarlem and Utrecht.

The Germans for several days have been talkine of the imminence of a Canadian attack, and indeed of a new general offensive in the west. Snow still was falling in H-degree cold on the western front this morning. Despite the terrific handicap of waist-deep drifts. General Eisenhower's front slowly was turning to the offensive. Allied Air forces hurled their destructive bomb weight into the balance yesterday with nearly 4.000 sorties.

The last 10 days of roadside slaughter have accounted for 5.000 vehicles destroyed and 4,500 tanks and armored vehicles ruined, and approximately 1.500 rail cars destroyed and 2.000 damaged. some 1.261 were disabled in the St. Vith area alone yesterday. Added to all that destruction was the paralyzing elfect cf yesterday's mighty air blows at 32 railvards along key lines back from the Rhine toward the eastern front. Lt.

Gen. George S. Patton's Third army broke the German Our river frontier defense at two places just north of Luxembourg. The doush-fcet waded icy water to their waists in crossing near Oberhausen and Peterskirche, 13 miles southwest of the Siegfried pivot of Prum. Oberhausen fell.

The Third army was close to or across the German frontier all the way from Saarlauthern to Oberhausen. To the north. Lt. Gen. Courtney H.

Hodges' First army advanced nearly two miles early today in the darkness fighting into Murrange. 15 miles northwest of Prum. Opposition was relatively light: the Germans were beating their way back into the Siegfried line. The first took 825 prisoners yesterday and expected a larger total today. The Seventh army in Alsace was snowbound for the third day.

At the northern end of the Colmar pocket below Strasbourg, the U. S. Third and 28th divisions, now fighting under French command, wedged within a half nile of the northeast outskirts of Colmar, home of the designer of the Statute of Liberty. The Third division stabbed within about three miles of the Rhine, and threatened to lop off a German salient north toward Strasbourg. The French were closing around Ce-nay from three sides at the south end of the Colmar pocket.

Fiftv German tanks have been destroyed in 10 days by the French alone." A dispatch from Field Marshal 1 4 1 6 1 1 S'SfTKiPPenedto be going that way on Allied Naval Force Active Off Holland SUPREME HEADQUARTERS ALLIED EXPEDITIONARY FORCE, Paris, Jan. 30. (JP) An Allied naval force is now engaged "in active though small scale operations against the enemy" among Dutch islands north of Walcheren. Adrn. Sir Harold M.

Burrough said today. The new Allied naval commander in chief added significantly of future operational possibilities: "The coasts of Germany and the remainder of western Europe still occupied by the enemy offer opportunities for the use of sea power, such as the assault on Walcheren. which turned the key to the port of Antwerp." Current operations in the North sea are commanded by Capt. A. F.

Puesley. who directed the assault upon Walcheren, which guarded the northern entrance to the Schelde Estuary leading to Antwerp. Numerous islands have been carved in southwest Holland by the rivers Rhine and Maas (Meuse) as they meet the sea. Most important of these still in enemy hands are Schouwen, Noord Beveland, Goeree, Tholen, Oorne Putten -and Tien Gemeten. Frequent German troop concentrations have been noted and raided on Schouwen.

The admiral gave no details on new operations except to say: "The navy, on this occasion it happens to be the British navy, is now busy among the islands north of Walcheren. You will have seen German claims to have repulsed attempted landings." "These claims are untrue, but I do not propose to inform the enemy of our objects. I can tell you that a naval force commanded bv Capt. A. F.

Pugsley is busilv engaged in active though small sale operations against the enemy." LEGISLATURE- (Continued from Page One) was laid over yesterday. The indicated action is on the method of determining the location of the home. The bill as passed by the house would determine the location of the institution by election. The house yesterday afternoon furrowed brows for over an hour as a committee of the whole while working on a complicated bill relating to use tax. The bill was approved for passage after a section which deleted exemptions for property used in interstate transportation was cut out.

Left in the bill was a section proposing repeal of use tax exemptions allowed for materials unobtainable in Wyoming. Materials used in pub lishing are so exempted now, among others. Mr. end Mrs. Fred Sfagner Lose Baby Daughter Catherine Anne Stagner, three-year, seven-month-old daughter of Mr.

S108SCVlT LOS ANGELES. Jan. 30. Col. James Roosevelt, the president's son, says that at the suggestion of a Pullman conductor he sent a telegram which railroad officials said resulted in a one hour and seven minute delay in the departure of a train from "Chicago.

The marine corps officer told reporters here that hp and his wife were returning from his father's in-auETuration on the Pennsylvania railroad's Manhattan Limited, bound for Chicago, when the wire was sent. "When we reached Crestline, O. Saturday, the Pullman conductor began making out a list of Dassen-gers going west of Chicago because we were running late," said Col.

Hopkins swung immediately into 1 1 busy program upon his arrival, con-' fernng first with U.

He refused to admit he even knew when or where the Big Three leaders of the Allies will meet. He also was non-committal on his own future plans and sidestepped questions about whom he intended to see ic Italy.
