 Washington, Sept. 2. (UP)-Presi- dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister winston Churchill were believed to- day to be discussing the stand that the United States and Great Britain will take on vital political issues at a forthcoming conference of Anglo American Soviet foreign ministers.
 Such a three-power conference, first suggested by Churchill, was said to be in the arrangement stage. Reliable sources expected 1t to be soon, maybe within five or six weeks, and many believed it would be held in the United States.
 Churchill arrived at the White House last night for what was de- scribed as the concluding phase of talks begun at Quebec. The Quebec conference ended with discussion of political and postwar problems fac- ing the Anglo-American nations.
 Most observers agreed that solu. ton of virtually all of those prob- lens depend upon Anglo-AmericaI1- Soviet agreement-not just paper treaties-on basic international is. sues. They see no possibility of 6 lasting peace without honest under standing among the three powers and elimination of the doubts about each other that in the past have kept them from joint action.

Allied Headquarters, North Africa, Sept. 2. (UP)-Allied bomberS ham, mered the Aversa railroad center 10 miles north of Naples last night, sealing the bottleneck from the yards to the main line with single 4,000- pound blockbuster, after dirty weather kept daylight raiders away from Central Italy for the first time in two months.
 British and Canadian Wellingtons took over the sustained assault on Italian communications centers. They strung heavy bombs across the 24 track and sidings of the Aversa yards, kindly fires visible many miles as they flew homeward.
 The weather grounded Maj. Gen. James H. Doolittle's strategic air force, but light and medium bomb CTS were able to carry out @ series of attacks on railways and other transport on the toe of the Italian boot.
 All the. bombs dropped by the flying fortress on Pisa Monday were revealed to have found their mark, causing no damage to the famous leaning tower which ils five miles from the bombed railroad yards, air fields and aircraft factory.

Boston, September 9. - (UP) - New England faced its most critical gasoline shortage since last June to- day as waning supplies threatened to curtail or even halt truck ship ment of foods, bus transportation of war workers and harvesting.
 Many filling stations in Greater Boston reported empty tanks as result of increased driving due to the lifting of the pleasure driving ban. It was expected that many more stations would run out of fuel today.
 In Washington Secretary of the Interior Harld L. Ickes said that at the present. rate of consumption the whole nation faces the prospect of running out of gasoline and in the east 1t may be only @ matter of days"
 State emergency Conservator Thomas P. Sullivan said that SO far as 1t could be determined there IS no relief on the way. There will be no additional fuel this week, he said, snd 1t is doubtful if there will be any next week.
 The inventory of gasoline on hand in New England stood ct 554,000 barrels last week, which is said to be the lowest since June. This was 6 decrease of more than 60,000 barrels from the previous week.

(BY UNITED PREss)

WdSIAlLlSLOLlS 0SPtSLLlDeE 4e = (UP) = A powerful U. 8. Naval task force, spearheadT ed by carriers, was on the loose in the Central Pacific today, daring the Japanese home fleet to come out and fight.
 It already has struck from the air and sea against Mar GUS Island, important enemy outpost guarding the south eastern approaches to Tokyo. It may be that it previously had blasted other Japanese held bases and that otheK enemy strongholds are due for a pasting before the task force returns home. But there will be no details until 1t is safe for the American force to break radio silence.
 The attack on Marcus itself was not considered of paramount sig nificance, because the island was not the source of any trouble to present American holdings in the Pacific. However, neither could the assault
 be considered an eccentric oper- ation," one undertaken primarily to harrass the enemy without any ef- feet on over-ell strategy. Admiral Ernest J. King, conmander-in-chief of the U. s. Fleet, made 1t clear if 6 recent interview that every move undertaken in the Pacific is part of a coordinated plan,

SesAVSA . AS1U SwSAA SVAAGoRVAA1CAS
 Allied headquarters, Southwest Pacific, Sept. D. (UP)-American forces in an advance of nearly e mile toward Salamaua have cut off small Japanese force bitterly de- lending the rugged approaches to the New Guinea coastal base, a spokesman announced today.
 It was the first American gain from positions south of the Sala- maua airfield in several weeks and occurred Sunday and Monday as Australian troops closing in from the west increased the pressure on the enemy.
 Gen. Douglas MacArthur's spokes- man said the American troops drove approximately three-fourths of mile to reach Scout Ridge, practi- cally surrounding a Japanese force still holding out on the inland eX- treme of Roosevelt Ridge. He said the Japanese were widely scattered through the mountains from two to four miles from Salamaua airdroine and were deeply entrenched trying to slave off the Allies.
 There were no new reports from the Allied forces on Kila Ridge commanding the useless Salamaua airdrome about mile from the base itself.
 The communique listed Allied losses as a Liberator and five fighters in an air fight Monday over Bougainville in the northern Solomons where 36 of about 60 en- emy planes were shot down in a running battle after a raid on Jap anese bases. The fight had been re-

 Stockholm, Sept. 2=(UP)-The newspaper Aftonbladet said today that new disturbances and sabotage have broken out in Copenhagen and elsewhere in Denmark, but reliable sources reported that German mili- tary authorities generally have stifled resistance through the ruth less use of arms.
 A large Danish factory was blown up yesterday. 1000 persons were killed or wounded in Copenhagen and 450 were slain at Svendborg, Aaftonbladet said. However, most observers believed the casualty fig ures, if true, covered the entire per- iod from the time martial law was proclaimed last weekend.
 Meat, bread and fuel are scarce in Denmark as result of German re- quisitions and transportation restric- tions, the newspaper added.
 The possibility that a Danish ref ugee government will be formed, possibly in London under the Dan- ish patriot Christian Moeller, was pointed up by the resignation of I. c. w. Kruse, Danish minister to Stockholm, and the principal mem bers of his staff because the new situation in their homeland pre- vents the king from fulfilling his constitutional functions"
 Way Open for Kruse
 However, Kruse's statement indi- cated that he resigned only as rep resentattve of the Danish foreign of- flee, but still considered himself the royal Danish representative in Stockholm. Danish circles said his action left the way open for him to contact refugee government.
 There also was a possibility that the Germans would attempt to re-

 London, Sept. D. (UP)-Prime Minister Churchill's boost for the restoration of the Jugoslav and Greek monarchies caused specula- ton among exiled governments to- day on whether 1t may foreshadow similar expressions from the Allies on postwar regimes.
