4 { london s.s Oct Al rss~slf k t1ss.-- "A three-pronged Allied offensive against Japanese .seapower and sup- ply lines in southeast Asia was fore- cast by London military observers today, and the Tokyo radio reported that British patrols already have crossed the Indian border into vest ern Burma.
 The Tokyo broadcast said about 250 British Indian troops forded a river into Burma at dawn Friday and were engaged immediately by Japanese troops.
 There was no confirmation of this account from Allied sources, but 1t was pointed out that the Monsoon season in Burma is nearing an end an dthat British reconnaissance ac- tivity along the frontier could be expected to precede any large -scale invasion. It also was suggested that the Allies might feint at enemy lines in Burma. M
 Tokyo asserted that the British patrol has been surrounded and that Japanese troops have killed 60 of its officers and men.
 The alleged action coincided with the arrival of Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten in lew Delhi, India, to establish his headquarters as AL

Bomb Wrecks Naples House

Naples, Italy, Oct. 10.-(UP)-A two-ton German time bomb blew up another Naples building today, kill ing an estimated 50 persons and in- turing 50 more.
 The explosives had been left in an underground passage under the building that in ancient times was a sewer and escaped detection when the building was inspected by the Allies.
 The initial explosion touched of American explosives which had been stored in the building.
 The building disintergrated and concrete fragments rained on the neighborhood.
 Lieut.. Gen. Mark w. Clark, coin- mander of the Fifth Army, inspected the scene few minutes latter.
 Only last week, several hundred persons were killed when Nazi time bomb exploded in the Naples post ofEice shortly after it had been re-opened to the public. Several other buildings have been wrecked by time-bomhs.

 The per capita debt of the United States and possessions he said, to- day stands at $935 and our appro- priations for the last fiscal year for war purposes alone aggregated scr ,OOO, ,O00, 900. Britain's per capita debt today Is $l64." He said he ob- tained his data from the library of Congress.
 Ellender estimated the total Rus siar. debt at $i0.020. 900, 900 and the Axis debt at $0l, ,615, ,200, 600.
 .:s::Great Britain is spending $l0,- OOO. .0O0, 900 this year for war expen- ditures," he said. We are spending in lend-lease alone $l .25O, 100000 a month"
 Ellender said the British should not assume that Uncle Sam is go- ing to do all the work and furnish all the materials needed"
 He urged that lend-lease aid in part be made conditional on our AL lies supplying without cost rubber. tin, nickel and other essential raw materials which this country lacks.

 London, October Il. - (UP) - The Allied aerial of- fensive apparently went into a temporary lull last night due to weather, but a dozen German cities still sr1lould- cred from raids during the previous 72 hours and high sources said the battle to Sof- ten Germany for eventual invasion had been joined.
 Inclnent weather was be- lieved to have grounded Bri- tain's great four-engined bombers, though mine-laying operations and nuisance raids presumably were carried out. :, American Flying Fort resses rounded out one of the heaviest around-the-cloc air onslaughts of the war yester- day with a triple blow at Axis Europe, hitting railway iil-- stallations at Munster, and Coesfeld, 20 miles apart, in Germany and the Enchade airfield in southeast Holland.
 The Actresses and their escort of tnunderbolts shot down i02 inter- cepting enemy fighters to boost their toll for the past six weeks to over 800. American four-engined bombers alone were credited with destroying 53i German fighters in the first 10 days of this month.

E. y ManUilIe Co. Recognizes The CIO

An agreement between the CIO, as representatives of the shop ern- ployes, and the ofticiaIs of the D. J. Manville Go, and recognizing the union as the bargaining agent for the employees in ali future negotia- tions, was signed Saturday morning when Rowley w. Phillips, president of the company appeared in Water bury and placed his signature on the contract as representative Of the heads of the concern.
 MT. Phillips, former local broker, had previously stated last week that he would be in the city within few days but could not be definite be- cause of illness. rziS appearance Saturday was somewhat expected as the meeting was previously sched- uled for that time, and it was known that Mrs. Mary Dewey of the local War Manpower Commission and other officials met with the heads of the E. J. Manville Co.,, in New York city last Friday.
 It was reported that MT. Phil- lips, when querited at the meeting by one of the union representatives as to the future plans of the com- pany, stated that 1t was obvious that he would not be signing such an agreement if 1t was planned to dis pose of the concern. Nothing fur- ther was stated on the matter at the time.
 It is believed that Patrick O'Neill, national representative of the c. I. O. Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers union, signed for the union at the meeting after pointing out to MT. Phillips that about 95 per cent of the shop employees had already signed with the c. I. O. requesting the union act as their representa-

Jusos Bottle NeorSusok

London, Oct. ll--(UP)-Jugoslav sources reported today that a battle of mounting scale and intensity is raging between Partisan forces and Germans around the Adriatic sea- port of Eusak, and that the Nazi troops are being forced to give ground in some sectors.
 A communiuue broadcast from Partisan headquarters claimed the guerrilla fighters were on the offen- sive along the railway line from the coast to Zagreb and German gar- rison has been surrounded in the town of Ogulin, 35 miles southeast of Susak.
 Closer to Susak, it said, fighting is increasing in ferocity and the Germans have been forced at some points to retreat"
 Heavy fighting also was reported raging on. the Istrian peninsula where the Partisans were attempt ing to win the vital railway lines leading northward from Trieste and Plume.
 The Partisans claimed new suc- cesses in the fighting in northern and central Jugoslavia, asserting their forces had cut the railroad lines leading north and west from Zagreb and had occupied u town of Bijeljina, SO miles west of Bell grade.
 A United Press dispatch from Cairo quoted four Jugoslav soldiers who arrived recently in the Middle East that the Partisan forces in clude only about 10000 trained troops, compared with between 15O.- GOO and l8O,000 men in Gen. Draja- Mikhailovitch's patriot army. The latter could muster 3O0,O0O troops if they could be armed, it was said.
 The Partisans, however, were said to be a highly organized and disci- plined force, built around a small but energetic leftist committee.
