FDR SAYS NO SINGLE MAN
 TO CONTROL
President Refuses to Name Head of Production
 in Current Fight

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Argu- ments among some government of ficials over who are the bosses of the nations War Production have been stilled at least temporarily by the Presidents assertion that no individual is in high command among the present administrators.
 He told newsmen yesterday at a press conference that they must work together to solve the problems of production and allocation of materials and scheduling of produc- ton.
 Further, he declared, all the of ficials concerned with these prob lems are supposed to agree.
 If they don't, he added, he will put them in a room and tell them to do so.
 Commenting on the current con- flicting reports over who has the final word in production allocations, the President observed that those who say there is a single man in control over all War Production factors are doodle drawing.
 Government sources have predict ed that Donald Nelson's appoint nent of his Vice. Chairman. Charles Watson, as top man over aircraft production might lead to a show down in the conflict between the WIPE and military services over the control of munitions production.
 AS matters are going, they said, the clash might be expected to de- termine whether Nelson or the mili- tary authorities have final say on the war economy.
 Nelson had arranged an appoint ment with President Roosevelt for today

Gen. 0'Connor's Grew Has Made Roughinq It
 In Yukon Impossible

Brig. Gen. James O'Connor and his men have just about made the old idea of roughing it in the Yu- kon an impossibility. The men of the Northwest Service Command really know how to do things.
 More than 200 dignitaries, cor respondents, photographers an d other guests from the United States and Canada swarmed last week by plane, rail and road to attend the opening ceremonies of the Alcan Highway and were almost as as founded by the way the Northwest Service Command set up house. keeping for them as they were by the new overland supply route which they had come to see.
 O'Connor and his excellent staff had expected hardly more than a hundred guests. And when the mob irrived, you should have seen the Generals men building barracks.
 They Really Move
 If you thought that his men quilt the highway in short order, you should have been one of those who saw the barracks go up. The guests moved into one end Of 8 building right on the heels of car )enters, plumbers and electricians. By the time you'd been taken to our room, had turned around hree times, lit a cigarette and de- ,ided to go out and watch the work, you'd find that the hammer ng had ceased, you were living in l completed barracks complete with oil heat, showers, electric tights and room service.

 Battlefront dispatches from Sta lingrad said that the Soviets are rolling back the Nazi wedge to the volga and are clearing another avenue of supply.

Battle Raging af Close Quarters : Enemy
 Raided, Sfrafed

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Aus tralia, Nov 25.-Bitter close quarter fighting rages throughout the Buna and Coma district today as the trapped Japs struggle desperately to defend a steadily narrowing area.
 Nearly every type of Allied plane strafed and bombed the enemy posi- tions yesterday.in support of ground troops which are closing with the Nippons on 12-mile strip of battle field.
 Airmen with Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur's command made more than 100 trips across the battle area, and others made raids as far off as the Jap plane bases at Timor and Lac, New Ireland.
 A communique says that heavy fighting by land and air rages throughout the positions" near Buna and Coma.
 The Allied airmen came in to strike unchallenged after the severe mauling which they gave the Japs last Saturday.
 The Allies found 100 Jap bodies when they entered the village of Coma, and many more wounded and dead Nippons were scattered along the beach. ~afs
