news Of the conference as the
best sign to date OF increasingly
friendly relations among the
three powers.
(The Soviet radio carried only
the bare announcement, in 4
Tass dispatch from Teheran, that
the meeting had been held, and
the broadcasts made no COM
ment on it. But Immediately the
conference became the main
topic of conversation everywhere
in Moscow
Axis Readies Defense.
Axis propaganda continued its ef-
forts to prepare defense for what
ever result might ensue from the
conference, and the chance that Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill might
follow up by seeing the President Of
Turkey caught the enemy's atten-
ton.
In dispatch dated from Istanbul
the Berlin radio said President Ino-
nu and Foreign Minister human
Nenemencioglu had left Ankara to
meet Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Church.
i'll.
The Berlin radio also reported
all telephone communications in
Turkey had been interrupted and
suggested that this might have some
connection with the conference, al
though the purported cause of ces-
Sation was storm and minor earth
quake.
The Stockholm newspaper It'd
ningen printed dispatch from its
Budapest correspondent saying the
Turkish government had ordered all
Turkish students to leave Germany
Immediately.
Commons States Debate.
Recently there have been indica-
tons that Turkey might be plan
ming to enter the war on the side
of the Allies and in any case she
would be concerned in whatever
plans the Big Three may have made
for the Balkans.
A full report by Mr.. Churchill on
the conferences is expected to be
made to the House OF Commons at
an early date and two days have
been planned for debate on the dis
closures.
The appointment of Ambassador
John G. Winant to represent the
United States on the European Adj
visory Commission, planned recently
in conferences at Moscow, was an
nounced today in Washington. Two
American diplomatic experts on

keystone Club Renews Plea
To Defer Auto Inspections

The advisory board of Keystone
Automobile Club yesterday reiter-
ated its recommendation that COM
pulsory inspection of automobiles in
the District be suspended until
after the war.
o. T. King, acting secretary of
the Keystone board of directors.
wrote to G. NJ. Thornett, secretary
of the board OF District Commits
sioners disagreeing with the Com
missioners' position that such an
inspection could not be waived be-
cause it was made mandatory by
law.
Mr.. King said Keystone feels that
use of the word may" in the law
gives the Commissioners the right
to waive the inspection Besides
conserving gasoline and rubber, Mr..
King wrote. the suspension OF in
spections would release mechanics
employed at inspection stations for
service in private garages.

Conference
Continued From First Page

President Ismet Inonu of Turkey
had left to meet Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Churchill, perhaps at Cairo.
Those who beam Allied propa-
ganda from London to Europe we're
inclined to consider their efforts
dulled by the delay in making the
results of the conference public,
since widespread leaks and specula-
ton took away the element of sur
prise.
Some feared that the impact of
the communicate when it is an
nounced would be weakened since
the Germans already had a propa-
ganda commemorative we'll under
way in anticipation of an Allied
psychological offensive.
Speculation Rift.
While this formal announcement
still was awaited, speculation was
rife on what the decisions might be.
These guesses covered the proba-
bllity that the Big Three had agreed
upon a master plan for a great in
Vaslon of Europe and an Allied mil
ltary leader to command it, a con-
certed program in the Balkans, and
such political problems as measures
to deprive Germany of the power of
aggression after the war ends.
1t was evident that great
breadth of subjects had been COW
cred in the meeting. The Moscow
announcement last night said that
all three leaders were accompanied
by their highest military and diplo-
matte advisors. The British En-
oassy at Moscow stated that both the
British and American Ambassadors
to the Soviet Union had attended
along with their military missions.

Hard Coal Shortage
To Continue THROUGH
Winter, |ckes Warns


said last night there is no pos
sibility of meeting requirements
for hard coal this winter, and
that "a lot of anthracite users
are going to have to substitute
bituminous coal, and all of them
are going to have to do a real
Job of conservation" If the short
fuel supply is to last.
He added the belief that every
body can keep warm If they will
cooperate and we don't run into
any further trouble" Mr.. Ickes'
statement was contained in a re-
port showing that the mines turned
out record Thanksgiving week
production of $780, 900 tons of BIZ
luminous coal, only slightly under
the previous weeks 16-year record.
While noting that the Thanks
giving week anthracite output was
1851 300 tons, a gain of $4,000 tons
over the week before, Mr.. Ickes
cautioned that hard coal produc-
ton shows no indication of meeting
winters requirements.
Appropriation Approved.
Coal production is now headed
In the right direction, thanks to the
new wage agreement covering Gov
eminent operations" Mr.. Ickes said.
but we are long way from hav-
ing an adequate wartime fuel sup
ply"
Meanwhile, the Senate Appropri-
atoms Committee yesterday ap-
proved special s2,6Oo,O0O supple
mental appropriation to finance the
setting up of ALLEGATION centers in
IS cities to divert coal for critical
needs.
Mr.. Ickes had outlined in a let
ter to Senate Appropriation SUBJ
committee the plan to allocate coal
supplies this winter to help offset
what he termed a fuel crisis un-
paralleled in the history of our
country" He asked for $3.50, 900 to
finance the plan.
In his letter to the subcommittee
Mr.. Ickes said October and early
November strikes had cut coal pro-
duction 100000 tons on top of
production loss of 100000 tons in
earlier work stoppages.
This further loss at this time
necessitates an almost thorough
going ALLEGATION of COAL" he said,
adding that critical needs can be
met only by such diversions and
ALLEGATIONS and the thorough under
standing by consumers of the need
for every possible conservation"
To Act Locally.
Mr.. 1ekes said the situation re-
CURED creation of the ALLEGATION
agencies throughout the production
fields and in consuming areas. These
offices, he added, would alleviate
supply shortages by direct and local
action where possible"
The Office of Price Administra-
ton outlined procedure which soft
coal producers with high-cost mines
may follow to obtain quick adjust
ments beyond the new ceiling prices
set on general basis.
A general price increase has been
authorized to Offset wage boosts
granted to miners under the con-
tract between the United Mine
Workers and Mr.. Ickes.
Yesterdays action allowing for
adjustments was taken, OPA said ,
so that production from the more
expensive mines may not be i'm
peded by inadequate returns due to
established maximum prices"

of the Norwegian Church Council
convened this week by Premier Vid-
kun Quisling in place Of the Nor
wegian Bishops Congress, which
before the occupation, was the lead
ing church meeting of the year.
The church department of the
government warned against the
policy of disnissing too many
clergymen, pointing out that the de-
partment would not be able to fill
the posts of the elected clergymen.
The message also emphasized that
wholesale dismissal of clergymen
would lead to the closing of large
number of churches and that this
development, in turn, would cause
a propaganda wave rolling far over
Norway's borders" 1t was promised,
however, that the church depart
ment would protect Quisling clergy
men and would give them church
posts as the opportunity presented
itself.
The appeal against an extreme
policy towards uncompromising
churchmen was issued in the face
of a growing demand in Quisling
circles for the removal of all dis
loyal" clergymen from their congre-
cation, which means the great ma
jority of Norwegian pastors who
have defied Quisling.
Pressure for dismissal of the cler-
eymen comes as result OF the
anti-Quisling message issued by the
Provisional Church Council, which
was read in more than 1000
churches on January II. The mes
sage asserted that the Norwegian
church is still in the fight" against
Hitlerism. described the sufferings
and hardships forced on the church
during the past year and called upon
congregations to stand firm"
It was expected the church coun-
ellis message would be the chief
topic at the meeting of Quisling's
bishops and other church officials
this week. Quisling himself was
scheduled to preside at the meeting.
Danish Resistance Grows.
IN nearby Denmark, growing anti
Nazi feeling in church circles was
also reported this week.
The newly appointed bishop of
ths diocese of -Falster, at
whose ordination the King and the
Crown Prince were present, recently
warned Danish Christians in a pas
toral letter to be prepared for pos
sible martyrdom.
I'VE do not know what the future
holds In store for our church and
our people" he said. you have
not yet been asked to lay down
your lives in resistance to sin. But
In our time, as we'll as in antiquity,
the church has it's martyrs. Recent
years have taught us to stand to-
gether as Danes; let us also stand
