Tunlslan Air Struggle May Decide Final Outcome
 of War

washington, Dec. B. (up)--- The air struggle developing over TNlnisiN win determine air superiority In the Mediterranean area and possibly the whole European theater of war, Lieut., Gen. Henry II, Arnold said today.
 Arnold, commanding the army air forces, said American planes and personnel are going up against first. class air power for the first time in this war,
 The new American Lockheed P-Sa Pursuit ship now is engaging the best planes the Germans possess the Focke~Wulf ls4O and Messer. Schmitt i09-0-and in their initial trials the score is about even, Ar- mold said,
 In the struggle to determine which side shall be supreme in the air over the Mediterranean and Eprope, the Germans in North Africa "ere feverishly endeavoring to build up superiority before we can gather our strength" Arnold continued,
 At present." he said, 1t is touch and 90 as to who is the stronger, In some sections we are; in others they are"
 If we can continue to destroy the enemy plane for plane" he said, we will come out ahead, Our pro- duction is at least twice Axis pro- duction. They would have to destroy two for one to remain even"
 Arnold said the Germans ap- peared to be building up their North African strength by with drawing planes from Russia, to a lesser extent, from Europe.
 He said he believed American and British planes operating from Great Britain were pressing the Germans too hard at that area to make 1t feasible for the enemy to withdraw air power from that re- zion,
 Arnold said United States air forces had gained "at least equal- ity" in every theater of war except North Africa. He added that they had assumed the offensive every where"
 For the first time" Arnold said, i've have Q completely balanced air team in action. And for the first time We are up against real first class air power.
 We had had P-40s up against the Germans and Italians in the Egyptian theater and we have had bombers and fighters Up against the Germans in France and the Netherlands,
 "We have met the Jap zeros-- singly and in swarms-but in Africa we are up against the whole cross section of the German aerial might, and I can tell you we are looking forward to the results with great interest, for we believe that out of this will come the all-out air battles that must come to clear the Germans from the sky"

Washington. Dec, 8.-tUPl--Con- 5iona leaders held little hope tcdry that they would be able to get formol adjournment of Congress iris year. The best they expect Is se ies Of three day recesses during tho holiday weeks.

 any occa 'ons when a quorum oi .i be- the Senate and House is pres ant.
 Speaker Sam Rayburn D., Tex. said i've don't have a quorum i'll the :.ouse now and it is doubtful wheth- f we can muS,er one.
 The Senate is stumbling slowly
 oward disposition of three major 3,lls, two of which are conuoyer- ial.
 Of immediate interest i3 a new conference report--to be presented o the Senate today--on a bill against which Sens. Bennett C.. Clark. D. Mo. and Pat McCarran, O., Nev.. tilibustered for two days. The measure would provide for ap- )ointment of a three-man commits sion to pro-rate S40O00O00 worth of claims of Americans against the Mexican government.
 Clark emphasized that he was for the general purpose of the Dill, but objected to deletion by Senate House conferees of a provision which would permit future claims to be filed against Mexico for the expropriation of lands. As a result Chairman Tom Connally, D. Tex, of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee agreed to ask the Senate to reject the conference report, send the bill back to conference. and in sist that the conferees keep the Sem ate provision permitting the filing Of future claims.
 McCarran is interested in prevent ing Senate consideration Of another bill which would authorize sale of Treasury owned silver for use in the war effort at an average of DO cents per ounce. The existing statu- tory value of silver is si29, and Me Carran claims that 1t is illegal to sell silver for SO cents an ounce.

 IS CONFIDENT
Sees COP. President in I044; Willkie Loses Face

N0AAANAN MA&N8 1NNHAA &NNMa&NAfesANeAN@aNF
 st. Louis, Mo. Dec. 8 - (U. P)-- Harrison E. Spangler, Iowa lawyer and newly-elected chairman of the Republican National Committed, undertook his duties today with a confident statement that there is a trend against the Roosevelt admin isratlon which will elect a Repub- llcan president in i944 If 1t con~ tinues.
 He attributed last months Re- publican election gains to Ian acc emulation of 10 years of the New Deal--regimentation and interfer. ence with private enterprise"
 Spangler was elected as Q com promise candidate yesterday after Wendell L. Willkie put enough preS- sure on the committee to block Wer- ner w. Schroeder, Illinois National Committeeman. Willkie. who applied his pressure from New York, sus- pected Schroeder of isolationist tendencies and subservience to the Chicago Tribune. The New Yorker won that contest but made Q good 30 per cent of the committee more angry with him now than before.
 After two deadlocked ballots in which none of five candidates came up with majority, there was a general withdrawal in favor of Spangler and no little harmony in his unanimous election. But if Will kie gained any committee friends thereby, they were undiscovered,
 Senator Robert A. Taft, R. O, a leading anti-Willkie man, how ever, moved immediately to capital ize on the substantially harmonious committee situation by offering resolution which reafiirmed the partys policy to help the nation as- sist in post-war world rehabilitation, That had been the gist of resolu- tion which was adopted last April under pressure from Willkie and at the time, was resisted bitterly by Taft.
 The Senator's sponsorship of the more or less "interventionist" resolu- tion was judged here to have con- siderable political significance, par ticularly in allaying suspicion that the committee was divided on fund amental postwar questions.
 Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Dec. 8 - (UP)-Harrison Earl Spangler, new Republican National Chairman, is a successful lawyer and persistent, uncompromising fighter who has been active in public affairs since his school days.
 "He is a quiet man but hard worker and a determined cuSs when he goes after a cause" said one of his friends today.
 Spangler received his law degree from the University of Iowa in 1905 and became associated, after gradu- ation, with James W. Goode, whose congressional campaigns he man. aged.
 His association with Goode re- suited in his becoming County Re- publican Chairman and later, in 1880, State Committee Chairman. He has been member of the Re- publican executive committee since 1882 and was director ef the party's western headquarters at Chicago from 1895 to l936
 He is a close friend of former President Herbert Hoover, who, when in Iowa. spends much time at the Spangler home.
 Spangler bolted the party in the Bull Moose revolted in 1912, but his friends said he never has been as- sociated with party radicals"
