Swiss Disappointed
Over News of Talks
AT Casab|anca
More Concrete Settlement
Of Allied Peuce Aims
Had Been Expected
BY PAUL GHALI.
Foreign Correspondent OF The Star
and Chicago Daily News.


BERN, Jan. 27.--There is only one
topic of conversation among diplo-
matte, political and military observ-
ers here today--the Allied confer
ence in Casa blanca.
The first reaction to the official
communique published in the late
editions Of the Swiss press this
morning was slight disappointment.
This Is explained by the fact that all
reports reaching here yesterday
from Allied capitals led observers
to expect far more sensational
announcement
Among other things more con-
crete statement Of Allied peace aims
had been expected and eagerly
awaited-a fact which indicates
how much this continent would
welcome an elaboration of the At
lantic Charter.
French Angle Interesting.
French circles naturally are main
ly interested in the conversations
between Gen. Henri Giraud and
Gen. Charles de Gaulle. The accord
reached by the two generals, they
say, will do much to reassure the
opposition elements in France who
were almost despairing of the end
less North Africa political intrigues
Joseph Stains failure to attend
the conference also is the subject OF
lively comment. Although most OBJ
servers accept the official explana-
ton given in the communique. it is
asked why the Russian premier die
not send representative.
One thing seems absolutely GER
tain: Russia's absence will give NaZt
propaganda a rare opportunity to
play up It's favorite theme of the diff
ferences between Russia and her
allies,
Jap Involvement Cited.
Military experts point out that
Stain could not have put his name
to a communique announcing total
prosecution of the war against ia
pan as we'll as Germany and Italy,
nor could ne very well have taken
part in the discussion of offensive
plans which included Japan within
their orbit.
1t also Is generally believed here
that the conferences were not by
any means confined to military sub
Jects despite the galaxy of military
experts present.
In this connection much attention
is paid a rather sensational Ameri-
can agency dispatch from Algiers
limiting that italian, Spanish, Fin
nish and Turkish personalities took
part in the conferences. Some for
eign circles here remain convinced
that separate peace treaties with
Finland and Italy are in the cards.

had been mapped.
British Press Comment.
The Daily Mail interpreted the
communique as implying that tire
menedous events are on the move and
may break in the near future"
The Laborite Daily Herald said:
8" Two countries are too prominent
in the communique to satisfy those
of us who hoped that, as a result
! Of the conference machinery for un-
| interrupted collaboration between
/ the western and eastern Allies was
set up and in motion"
Said the News Chronicle:
People are bound to ask why it
! is necessary for the heads of the
United States and British govern
ments to take the very real risks
! involved in visiting North Africa
in order to discuss strategic plans
for 1943"
The Daily Express, however, re-
called the Roosevelt Churchill
meetings more than a year ago,
! and said: Great results and great
victories followed these meetings
Yet mightier issues depend upon
the Casablanca meeting We have
reached the end Of the beginning
The Times said:
Allied leadership Travelled far
indeed from those frantic expe-
/ dents of desperate men which oc-
cupied the last moments of the
Supreme War Council in Paris. Now
the men of Casablanca are able to
prepare their plans with authority
knowing it is in their power to
dictate to the enemy the pattern
Of the coming war"
The Manchester Guardian de-
clared The reports encourage con-
fldence They suggest closer CO.
operation among the principal Allies
than We have yet had. The
subjects OF discussion were compre-
hensive"
Timing Called Perfect.
The timing Of the conferences was
perfect, observers pointed out, COM
ing when Hitler's propagandists
were striking a gloomy note to pre-
pare the German people for set
backs IN Russia and eXhorting them
to show the courage displayed by
the Russians and British.
While the British people, going
ahead with the fourth year of war
were given a new glow of confidence
by the spectacular meeting, there
was no belief in informed quarter,
that the war was coming TO an easy
and victorious conclusion in the
early future
They pointed out that Hitter still

still is far from settled, with {
bloody and bitter fight impending
there.
Il was further emphasized that j
took five months to prepare tn
landing IN North Africa after tn
plans were made and there va
/ little reason to believe that a mucl
more difficult campaign on the con

Tunisia. That he said would not
happen.
Mr. Churchill described the con-
ference here as the most important
and successful war parley he ever
had attended and asserted the re-
suits would be seen soon.
He said the Allied landings in
North Africa had altered the entire
strategy of the war, emphas sized
that nothing had ever come between
him and the President in their
friendship and said the Allies now
had an initiative they never would
relinquish.

Sunback Dresses
Are Practical

Sunback dresses have set new
record in popularity. The interest
shown in them this summer has
been very genuine and sincere, in
that women are approaching more
and more the value of sun rays as
health giving. The fact that the sum
back dress is in almost every event
accompanied with either a matching
or contrast bolero, or some other
type of short easily removable
jacket, adds to it's practically.
Wearing the jacket, one has per-
feet costume for general wear
throughout the active hours of the
day. AS an outgrowth of this trend,
take note of the sunback-halter
styling given to a type of new
blouses that are making converse
ton this season. You'll find these
modish submitting blouses comfort
able to wear with jacket, skirt or
Stacks suits and they have an ad-
vantage over the dickey in that the
jacket can be removed.

CHATTERER HAS SUCH A
DREADFUL DAY

CHATTERER the Red Squirrel
~ was feeling quite like himself
he felt that he had gotten the best OF
Sammy Jay the day before. To be
sure, he had had to get corn for
Sammy, but he had not had to 60 to
Farmer Browns corncrib for it, and
he knew that it was the fur OF see
ing him take that risk that Sammy
wanted more than he did the corn.
He felt that he had been smarter
than Sammy, and the feeling made
him quite like his old self.

Revitalize Room

Color contrasts relieve the bare
feeling of an underfurnished room.
If pictures or furniture are lacking
for one side of the room, try in
stalling six-foot color panel on that
wall Select color which will &C.
centuate the color dominant in a
piece of furniture in the other side
of the room. Also, architectural
features can be accented by color
panels. If the dining room is not
a separate room from the living, it
can be made to appear as such, by
the clever installation Of panels to
seemingly divide the room.

was boaster, and probably always
will be. So he whisked in and out
of the old stone wall and said this
over and over while he waited for
Sammy Jay to appear. He had not
gone over to Farmer Browns corn
crib this morning for his breakfast,
because he felt sure that Sammy
would come and send him for corn,
and he knew that he would have to
go. But he meant to go down to
his own storehouse in the hollow
rail on the edge of the cornfield, and
he could eat his fill there. So he
scampered about and wished that
Sammy would hurry up. for he was
hungry.
At last Sammy came, and just as
Chatterer expected, he demanded
the corn that Chatterer had prom
ised to get for him whenever he
should ask for it. Right away
Chatterer started for the cornfield,
running along the fences. He al
ways did like to run along fences,
and though it was long way down
there he didn't mind, for the run
made him feel fine. AS he ran he
kept chuckling to himself to think
how smart he had been to think of
that storehouse and a way to keep
his promise to Sammy Jay without
running any risk to himself. He
was whisking along the fence on the
edge of the cornfield and had al
most reached the hollow rail where

once more.
''Chickaro and Chickaree
Who is there as smart
He didn't finish. Instead, his
tongue seemed to stick to the roof of
his mouth and his little black eyes
looked as il they would pop out of
his head. Sitting on post close to
the hollow rail was straight black
form watching him with cruel, hun
gry-looking eyes. 1t was Roughleg
the Hawk! Chatterer gave little
gasp of fright. He whirled around
and started back along the fence
as fast as he could make his legs 60.
Instantly Roughleg spread his great
wings and sailed after him. Chat
terer hadn't gone the length of two
rails before Roughleg was over him.
With his great cruel claws spread
wide he suddenly swooped down.
Chatterer lodged to the underside
of the rail just in time, the very
nick Of time! Roughleg screamed
with disappointment, and that
scream had such fierce sound that
Chatterer shivered all over.
How he ever got back to the OLD
Orchard he hardly knew himself.
Ever so many times he just man.
aged to dodge those great claws.
But he did get there at last, out of
breath and tired and frightened.
There sat Sammy Jay waiting for
his corn. He pretended to be very
angry because Chatterer had none
and threatened to go straight to the
Green Forest and tell Shadow the
Weasel where Chatterer was living.
There was nothing for Chatterer to
do but to 60 over to the corncrib
as soon as he had rested little.
''It's been a dreadful day, a per-
fectly dreadful day." said Chatterer
to himself as he curled up in bed
for the night. II wonder-I wonder
how old Roughleg happened to be
sitting on that fence post this morn
ing" But Sammy Jay didn't Won
