HAND-TO-HAND BATTLE: Yank Party of Two Smashes Through German Stronghold By The Associated Press FIFTH ARMY IN ITALY-There was this German strong point in a lit- tle two-street village in the Appenines at the entrance to the Bologne Road net, and it was giving the doughboys a tough time. So the Regimental Commander told Lt. Linnsey Wheeler to take a patrol out and find out about it. They crossed the Savena River, an icy stream alongside highway 65 in this area, and then inched their way over a snowcovered trail well into the enemy lines. Sentry Challenged Them When they got to within 50 yards of the group of buildings that made up the strongpoint they still hadn't been spotted. They had reached the corner of the first house when a German sentry challenged them. Wheeler answered Lt. Wig Lle Wins Medal of Honor Widow of War Hero To Receive Award Friday DETROIT, Feb. 14-The widow of Lt. Thomas W. Wigle, who was kill- ed in action in Italy last September. will be preseted the Congressional Medal of Honor, the nation'shighest award for heroism, here Friday. The presentation will be made by Maj. Gen. Russel B. Reynolds, com- manding general of the Sixth Service Command. Lt. Wigle, the citation for the award' says, volunteered to lead his platoon in an attack on Nazis established be- hind three parallel stone walls ter- racing the jagged hill of Monte Fras sino, a et stronghold of the Gothic Line. Lt. Wile brought his unit past the three walls, dashing ahead1 of his platoon to brave the fire of the enemy at each one, only to find the enemy barricaded in two stone houses that. commanded the slope. Charging the first house alone Lt. Wifle drove the Nazis out and fol- lowed them to the second house with- out waiting for support. His unit found him, fatally wounded, on the cellar stairs. The position was taken and 35 prisoners captured, the cita- tion says. Lt. Wigle was a violinist in civilian life, and had played with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra though he was never a member of it. He was grad- uate of Michigan State College and had studied violin in Salzburg, Ger- many. He was 35 years old at the time of his death. Psychiatrists To Discuss Vet Topics Tonight The problems of the returning vet- eran will be discussed by three doc- tors from the Neuropsychiatric Insti- tute at meetings scheduled for 8 p. m. today at the Tappan, Slosson, and Jones schools. Dr. Waggoner will be heard at Tap- pan school; Dr. Patterson at Slos- son school; and Dr. Himler at Jones with a burst from his tommygun and killed him. Then they had to work fast. Wheeler and Wilson formed an "assault force" of two and promptly "stormed" the building. As they passed by a window Wheeler heard a machine gun being loaded inside. He pushed his gun through the window, cut loose for a moment, then quickly raced around to the door and collided with a Nazi as he came out. Duel in the Doorway The German, a giant of a man, carried the machine gun cradled in his arms like a machine pistol, firing as he came through the door. For a brief moment there was a duel right there at the doorway. It cost the enemy his life. At that moment, un- noticedby Wheeler, another German gunner appeared in the doorway. Wilson hollered "duck" and began firing. The German fell wounded and was put away for keeps by Wheeler.. Another German soldier took up ai oosition outside the house and al- though he was firing at pointblank range, Wheeler rushed him because e realized the value of a live pris- 2ner for information purposes. He gave him a going over, took his gun away and had a prisoner. The German strong point offers less Trouble now.

Michigan Whisky Supply Shrinking) LANSING, Feb. 14-{IP)-Michi- gan's sources of whisky supply are shrinking, the State Liquor Control Commission said today. John P. Aaron, Commission chair- man, said he hoped this is a tempo- rary condition and added that there is no indication of immediate neces- sity to reduce liquor rationing quotas. The state's two largest supply sour- ces have served notice that they are reducing their allowances to Michi- gan by 20 per cent, and smaller sour- ces also are reducing their allotments to the state. Aaron said. A D V A N C E I N B E L G I U M Equipped with snow camouflage outfits, First Division soldiers advance in two lines on a narrow road near Faymonville, Belgium.
