War ‘Situation Last Night

By KIRKE L. SIMPSON (Associated Press War Analyot)

British air-borne forces, slenderly linked as yct with Field Marshal Montgomery’: ground armies in Holland, appeared to have still only a precarious toe-hold in the Arnhem-Emmerich gateway to the north German plain, but the Arnhem salient of which they form the apex is significantly widening at its base.

It seemed obvious that Moutgoine y was bent on gaining elbow room within which to mass sufficient power for quick and decisive exploitation of the break-through to out-flank the Siegfried Line when it corms-and completely confident that it would come soon.
