Illness"
Prime Minister Churchill
rallied against his second at
tack of lobar pneumonia in
10 months, and Mrs. Churchill
left England to join him in the
Middle East during his ill"ess
and cOnvalescence."
Churchilrs change for the
better-the second announced
officially in the past "a hours
came as anxious friends
throughout the world awaited
the climax of his illness and
offered special prayers for the
recovery of the 69-year-old war
leader.
'The improvement in the
prime minister's general con-
dition was maintained" said
bulletin issued at No. 10
Downing Street signed by
three staff physicians who are
in constant attendance some
where in the Middle East
where Churchill was stricken
nearly a week ago.
The statement added there
was no spread in the patch OF
pneumonia in the Prime MIMI
ter's left lung which develop
ed in the wake of his strenu-
Gus conferences with President
Roosevelt, Premier Joseph Sta
lin, Generalissimo Chang Kali
shek and Ismet Inonu, presid-
ent of Turkey.
In addition to the alar'' over
the danger from pneumonia to
a man of ChurchilPs years,
there had been considerable
worry over the fact that the
heart specialist Brigadier
Evan Bedford was in attend
ance as we'll as ChurchilPs per-
sonal physician, Lord Moran,
and 1t. r. j. v. Pulvertaft, a
penicillin expert.
Britons were assured, how
ever, that both Parliament and
the country would be told
frankly if the Prime Minister'S
illness took grave turn.

intensified their efforts to check
the relentless advance OF the
Eighth Army along the Adriatlc
coast. Besides bringing mountain
troops from Russia, the enemy
threw more and more tanks and
flame-throwers into the struggle.
Every effort by the Germans
however, failed to jar Gen. Sir
Bernard L. Montgomery's Cana
dians, New Zealanders and In
dams loose rom their hold onthe
Orsogna-Orton a highway running
in from the coast. Two enemy
counterattacks there were repulsed
with heavy losses, headquarters

1t. Gen. Mark w. Clark's Fifth
Army captured more important
hill positions and beat back a Ger
man counterattack west Of Vena-
fro. Clark's forces assaulted the
Nazi bastion of San Pietro, which
guards the road to Rome, and ran
into fierce hand-to-hand fighting.
San Pietro is seven miles from the
main German stronghold of Cas-
slno, northwest of Mignano.

SAMMY BAUCH SETS
new TEAM RECORD
Passes Washington Red
skins For Second Con-
secutive Season

CHICAGO, Dec. 15-(SpeciaD-
For the second consecutive season
Sammy Baugh has passed the
Washington Redskins to a new
National Football league team
record, it was revealed today with
release of final statistics.
The Redskins, in completing 10y
of 254 attempts, set up a new
efficiency mark of SAT for more
than $50 attempts, surprising the
record of .533 they established IN
1912 when they completed 1877 out
of 257 attempts. Their present per-
centage will stand as the record,
since next weeks divisional play
off is not counted in statistics Tor
the season.
New York's hard charging line,
which has hammered the Red
skins into defeat twice in the las.
ten days, kept the Giants
well up among the outstanding
defensive units Of the league, but
having to face Baugh on consecu-
tive Sundays has not helped their
record against passes. The New
Workers. opponents have complet-
ed 50 per cent of their passes for
1924 yards and sixteen touchd owns,
just twice as many touchdoWns
as the line has surrendered on
the ground.
Opponents have averaged only
2.8 yards per rush against the
Giant line. Only Phil-Pitt's' husky
forwards have a better record.
They limited opposing ball car
riers to 2.5 yards per rush. BY
way of establishing its right to
be c1assed with the best lines in
football, the Giant forwards have
gotten their backs off to an aver
age Of 81 yards gained per rush.
Only the Bears with 3.9 and Phil
Pitt with 3.8 have better records.
The Giants have been most sue
cessful in the first period, scor-
ing 62 of their ITO points in that
session, while they have been most
vulnerable in the fourth. Oppo-
rents have piled up 81 of their
1865 points in the last quarter.
Washington, with 70 points, is the
most dangerous in the third and,
like the Giants, most likely to
be scored upon in the fourth.

Christmas shopping flourished
as usual and the post office, wrap

doing a record business. Shlpyard
officials said Friday night that
operations at the shipyard which
had to be carried on outside were
still hindered due to the ice on
the materials making working con-
ditions hazardous. These condl-
tons cannot be improved until the
ice melts; therefore, it may be
several days before shipyard &C

The engineering department OF
the city Friday spread three tons
of calcium chloride at intersec-
tons to hasten the melting o, ice

resume similar operations Satur-
day morning in an attempt to
clear streets Of hazards, Engineer
Loughlin said Friday evening.

available men and several addi-
tional laborers in the engineering
department are being kept busy on
the problem, City Manager A. {.

four of them are on call.
The President arrived in Wash

On impromptu reception for con-

He had successive conferences
with diplomats representing Brit

and Egypt-all nations which fig
ured in one way or another in his
conferences abroad. Secretary of
State Hull was a luncheon visitor
and cabinet meeting followed.
Apparently not at all tired by
his 36-day trip, the President gaily
asked the reporters whether any
thing happened around here while
he was gone and INDUCED in other
ouips.
He would like to tell about his
method of travel, he said, but
didn't want any trouble with the
Army and Navy and all he could
say was that he went to Teheran

When he got to Teheran,. he. re-

embassy. That night he got word
from Stain of a German plot. The
Soviet Marshall pleaded with him
to 60 down to the Russian en-
bassy, so the next morning he
went there to stay.

BATTERY ICLICKS
TO WIN in FINAL
Davis Battery Wins In Last
Quarter; Running For
League Honors

CAMP DAVIS, Dec. II. - Last
nights basketball winners need
ed strong second halt performan-
ces to upset their foemen in Farms
worth Hall. In the opener Btry l.,
after leading 1917 at the half and
only 12-11 at the three-quarter
mark, clicked for nine points in
the final period while holding the
Post Detachment to a lone foul.
The Pip triumph enabled Btry I
to stay in the running for league
honors.
Baskets by Byrd, Rose, and
Chase together with foul shots by
the latter two provided the win
ming margin. Clark dropped in five
points for the Post Detachment
aggregation but failed to get need
ed support in the scoring depart
ment.
A close encounter between the
235th and oath BINS. was broken
wide open in the third quarter
when Miles and Johnson tailed
three bakets each to give the 235th
23-1O advantage. From that point
the pace settlers had no difficulty
in easing to 31-14 decision.
The 235th revealed a well-knit
defense after intermission and held
the losers to a pair of field goals
and two penalty losses in the see
ond half. Meanwhile their offense
was not neglected either as neat
passing paved the way for under
meath the basket lapups. Miles,
johnson, Scott, and Sasser worked
well together for the 235th while
Watts was best for the 234th.

 Further educational programs are being launched under department of Agriculture approval to combat such figures as: 150,O00,000 pounds of beef wasted annually due to bruiSing and rough handling; 15,- 000,000 sutures lost to the Army medical corps through nodular worm damage to sheep; 2,000,000 hogs killed by cholera last year, enough to feed 100000 for year; hides to keep 2000000 soldiers in shoes for a year, damaged by grubs in cattle skins.
