PARIS, March 18— (AR)
—The First Army has thrown
a pontoon bridge across the
Rhine to its Remagen bridge-
head and has driven to a point
lesa than two miles from the
six-lane autqbahn linking the
Ruhr with Frankfurt on the
Main, a bridgehead dispatch
announced tonight.
"The doughboys are slowly en-
larging thelf bridgehead against
•tiff opposition and numerous coun-
terattacks," said the dispatch from
Dun Whitehead of the Associated
Press. - - - ,
New gains widened the bridgehead
to nearly six miles st points along
its 11-mile breach in the German
Rhine line The Germans estimat-
ed that from 80,000 to 70,000 Pint
Army troops were in the critical
area—A maximum increase since
yesterday of 30,000 Americana.
Hundreds of rocket firing planes
were reported assisting the attack-
ing infantry.
Lieut.-Gen Courtney H. Hodges'
troops captured a hill north of
Hoenningen. 18 miles northwest of
Coblenz, at the south end of the
Cross-Rhine salient.

wholly unfounded" a labor charge
that industry is trying to use the

"Speaking as an official of Gen-

The charge against management

WASHINGTON, March U.—<45-
j A very large force of Superfortress-
es rained incendiary bombs on
NEA strategic industrial targets in Osaka
today
. A 20th Air Force announcement
of the raid, second on the city, de-
scribed it as similar to the strike
over the week-end against Nagoya
and Tokyo.
This suggested that upwards of
300 B-29s from Saipan, Tinian and
Guam in the Marianas took part
In tiie attacks on Tokyo and Na-
gova the big bombers kindled fires
that laid waste miles of the two
cities
The 20th Air Force said that fur-
ther details on the strike against
Osaka would be given out as soon as
