US. Air Power
 Worries Japs

Washington, Dec. g - (U.P) - An amazingly frank Tokyo broad cast admitting Japan's long lines were being ''wedged" led today to the belief that the enemy may be planning limited withdrawals from far Southern Pacific outposts such as Bougainville because of Allied air supremacy.
 (The German Agency DNB said Premier Hideki Tojo had called & conference of Japanese leaders for December g fin view of the gray ity of tn present situation")
 '"The Allied air strength is so great that our troops fighting in the South Pacific, after having been subjected to enemy air bomb ings, look about and say in sur prise, where have the Japanese planes gone?" the broadcast said
 ". The enemy cuts wedge into our positions and sets up an airfield. Then the enemy sends out planes, wave after wave, to cut of our supplies"
 The report of the broadcast came ill Chungking dispatch which said It. was picked up by Chinese min istry of information listeners last Sunday.
 The broadcast was addressed for reference to JapaneSe military au- thorities in occupied territories and thus could be considered an off, cial military viewpoint expressed by the enemy

OPA to Probe Prices Here

Investigators of the state OPA wila arrive in Waterbury next week to conduct 8 survey of local price schedules and to check complaints on irregularities which are said to be mounting in large numbers heres it was learned today. Although per- iodic visits have been made by 6 representative of the state office to this city the studies have not been overall or extensive and it Is re- ported a large staff of government wol kers will conduct the investiga- tion planned for next week.
 The first study is expected to bo made Monday and will cover various types of retail establishments, in- cluding liquor stores. restaurants. grocery markets, and clothing shops. It is believed shoe-repairing prices. on which there have been wide- spread complaints, also may be viewed during the visit which Is eK- pected to extend for several days.
 Complaints made by local residents and general dissatisfaction with the enforcement program are believed to have stirred up state authorities into planning the coming drive. AL though no official report has been made it is understood similar studies will be made throughout the state and discoveries of noncompliance with the OPA regulations wills lead to legal action.
 Although most of the complaints here are handled by the price panel of the local ration board, 1t is be- lieved the state office may give .aA. uitional aid in penalizing violatose who may be discovered next week.

Washington, Dec. g. (UP)- Spokesmen for the American wom- an, whose job 1t is to adjust the family budget to meet increases in food prices, organized a march on Congress today to oppose the strong arm bloc drive to kill the admin istration's food subsidy program.
 Aroused by administration warn ings that passage of subsidy ban would bring an immediate rise in their grocery bills, the women di- rected their invasion at both sides of congress, armed with protests at any action that would bring a fur ther rise in the cost of living.
 T have always hoped for an issue to unite the women of America and here 1t is," commented Rep. Mary T Norton, D., N. J., who said she had received thousands of letters and telegramS protesting the move to kill subsidies.
 In the senate, the women took to the banking committee appeals for defeat of the house-approved measure to end food subsidies after Dec. 31. And in the House, they con- gregated ct an emergency confer

Turk Stand
 Unchanged

London, Dec. 9.-(UP)-TurK1sf relations with America, Britain and Russia were strengthened consider ably at the Cairo conference. For eign Minister Nrrman Menemencio- glu reported today from Ankara but apparently he ruled out the likelihood of Turkey entering the war at once.
 Turkish advices quoted Menemen- cioglu as expressing deep satlstac- ton with the conference, at the same time proclaiming Turkeys at- titude as unchanged.
 A statement by the foreign minis ter after his return from Cairo made it evident that President Roosevelt and. rPime Minister Win ston Churchill had not convinced the Turks that full scale Turkish belligerency would aid the Allies ef- i fectively at this time.
 Menemencioglu affirmed without qualification that no agreements were signed at Cairo. But he said all military and diplomatic matters were examined thoroughly, to the greatest satisfaction" of the Turk ish delegation headed by Presiden' Ismet Inonu.

With Fifth Army, Italy, Decem- Der 8 = (U.PD - Yankee dough- boys refused to budge today before screaming, bayonet- yielding Ger man troops trying vainly to drive them from rocky heights they had won in the toughest mountain fighting in American history.
 Four times within the past "A hours the Germans have counter attacked in one sector on Mount Maggiore, yelling battle cries at the top of their lungs as they scrambled forward, tossed grenades and charged up for hand-to-hand fights:
 Four times the Americans denied them an inch of ground and exact ed heavy losses from their ranks Despite that, the Nazis still were bringing up endorsements, hoping to cling to some sections of the mountain after having lost Mount Camino to the south.
 On another sector of Mount Mag giore, the battle was over and American patrols were clearing out snipers-most of them dead because they shot until they were killed.
 Testimony of the courage of the doughboys in the battle fought in these cloud hung heights and rocky steeps came from the American brigadier general who directed the laborious push over Maggiore and its subsidiary, mount Difensa, some of which was scaled by rope ladder.
 'They are doughboy victories" he said, ''surpasSing any mountain fighting In American military his

Pearl Harbor, December g. - (UP) - Four of Japan's strong bases in the Marshalls lay in ruins today, victims along with two of her cruis- CTS and more than 72 planes of a powerful American fleet blasting open the island studded Sealanes to Tokyo with averaging bombs.
 Upwards of 300 U. S. aircraft launched from four or more car riers. Struck into the heart of the Japanese -mandated coral atolls Saturday - three days before the second anniversary of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor - to score one of the most brilliant victories ir two years of war in the central Pacific.
 Official reports from the fleet under Rear Admiral Charles A. Pownall to Pacific fleet headquarters showed:
 1. Laboriously built enemy de- fensive strong points on Waite atoll and on the islets of Kwajalein, Eb- eye and Roi in Kwapalein atoll - largest of the MarShalls 160 miles west of Wotje were turned to smoking rubbel.
 2. Seventy-tWo Japanese planes that fruftlessly attacked the great American fleet were shot down in ait combat and an undetermined number were destroyed on the ground.
 3. Two Japanese light cruisers were sunk in Kwajalein lagoon along with an oil tanker and three cargo vessels. A troop transport and two cargo transports were damaged at the same spot and one cargo trans port was damaged at Wotje. 4. American forces suffered only light plane losses and minor dam age to one ship from the Japanese aerial torpeoo and bomber attack. described officially as vigorous and prolonged.
 A spokesman at Admiral Chester w. Nimitz headquarters said Pow nails blow was planned so carefully that the raiding phase by dive and torpedo bonnbers carrying heavy loads of explosives lasted only 10 minutes, catching the Japanese by surprise in broad daylight starting at 8 a. m.

 BALKAN COUP

London, December 3. - (UP) - The Turkish-Bu garian border has been closed and Turkey has ord- cred a military state of alarm in the frontier zone, Swedish reports said today as the United Nations, Turkey and Germany maneuvered for a Balkans showdown.
 Stockholm dispatches indi. cated that the Balkans Situs ation was coming rapidly to a head in the wake of the Cairo and Tehran conferences, but Ankara and Cairo believed the inevitable Balkans ex~' plosions was months, ratheH than weeks or days, away.
 Only a German preventive ate, tack" on Turkey in an attempt to throw Allied plans of balance could provoke an immediate crisis, most sources here believed; though all agreed that the Balkans probably would be embroiled again in a full~l scale war before winter snows melts
 Among the flood of unconf1rme0 reports reaching Stockholm by di- verse routes were these:
 Marshal Erwin Rommel, Ger~ man commander in northern Italy, and the Balkans, has arrived at thQl Fuehrer's headquarters for cone ference with Adolf Hitler. 2.-New German reinforcemenGa have been rushed to the Bulgarian Turkish borders, Lemnos on th0 approaches to the Dardanelles, and the Bulgarian and Greek coasts of the Mediterranean, Aegean and Black Seas.
 3.-Premier Dobri Bojilov of Bul~ garia, which has Slavic ties with Russia despite her present donina- tion by Germany, held two special cabinet meetings, conferred with the regency council and met several high army officers after receiving the Turkish minister.
 4.-More than 100 Bulgartans marched through the streets of Bulgaria must withdraw from the Sofia carrying placards exclaimings war!"
 5.-Severa1 attachments of Bul~ garian troops mutinied and joined Greek and Jugoslav PartiSans.
 6.-The German gestapo and Bul- garian police arrested hundreds of Bulgarians as "oppositionists", but found thousands of others had left their homes before they arrived. Await Outcome Germany was reported awaitin@ the outcome of conference be- | tween her ambassador to Ankaras Baron Franz von Papen, and Pres ident Ismet Inonu before deciding definitely her future policy toward Turkey. Papen was expected to press Turkey for a guarantee she will not open the Dardanelles to the Allies.

 Recdptured

Chungking, Dec. 9-UP)-Chinese l troops drove back into the key high way city of Changteh in China's rice bowl' today, cleared the last Japanese from. the debris-cluttered streets at dawn and at last reports were pursuing the beaten enemy to the northeast.
 The re-capture of Changteh, only six days after it had fallen to the Japanese, was the biggest Chinese victory in recent months. Chinese troops, crossing the Yuan river southeast of Changteh broke into the eastern and western gates of the city, which fell to the Jap anese on Dec. after 15-day seige which cost them 10000 casualties. Mitchell bombers with fighter es- cort bombed the Japanese-held in- stallations of Changteh and the Tung Ting Lake area, dropping 60 per cent of their bombs in the tar get area less than 48 hours before the Chinese troops recaptured the city, a 14th airforce communique said'
 CnmeSe reCapCure O1 CnanSCeH lifted the immediate danger of a Japanese drive from the lake region toward either Changsha, capital of Human Province no miles to the southeast of Changteh, or Chung king, 300 miles west.
 After fall of the city to the Jap anese, the fighting shifted to the outskirts of the city. On Dec. 8, Chi nese forces routed Japanese forces on the south shore of Yuan river and paved the way for the recapture of the city
 The communique said that Chi nese forces were operating north of the Yuan river and were attacking Japanese troops northwest of Changteh where the latter were showing signs of weakening
