'U. s. Has New
 Secret Arms

Washington, Nov. 29 - (U.P) - Rear Admiral w. H. P. Blandy, chief of navy ordnance, said today that the Navy has developed new secret weapons which will rank as high or higher than the German radio controlled bomb and the &C., custic- -homing torpedo when the story can be told"
 At press conference on the eve of his departure for a sea com mand, Blandy said that "one or two of our developments will be called 'romances of science"
 "One development now in use was once proclaimed impossible by for eign scientists" he continued.
 Hundreds of new developments are still in progress-some are re- finements, others will be revolution ary in character"
 Blandy said the Japanese have some good weapons but none of them are of a revolutionary char acter."
 He stressed the importance of keeping knowledge of the secret weapons from the enemy at this time, but promised that they would be revealed to the public when and if any of them were captured by the Axis powers.

Home Fires' Losses High

Boston, Nov. 29-(UP)-Serious home front fires are delaying the European invasion timetables, Gen. eral Manager Percy Bugbee of the National Fire Protection Associa- tion said today.
 Americans were saddened by the record loss of 60 bombers in the Schweinfurt raid" he said, yet we have just been informed of an ac- cumulated loss of the equivalent of 1000 light bombers lost in a mid- western factory fire last year"
 Bugbee pointed to the costly fire which kept the Normandie out of United Nations service for two years, an dto the $250,000 blaze which warped and twisted tracks in the busy Philadelphia railroad station.
 "A fire in a large flour milling plant on the Pacific Coast resulted in the loss of enough bread rations for an army of 50O.0O0 men for an entire year. he added. "These are only representative wartime fire losses, the re-occurrnc of any on of which, might sriously affct our invasion timetable as the zero hour for attack approaches"

SoIons Widen Patton Probe

Washington, Nov. 28-(UP)-The Senate Military Affairs Committee considering Lieut.. Gen. George s Patton's nomination to permanent rank of Major General, will try to find out this week whether Patton has been involved in other incidents such as the one in which he slap ped a shell-Shocked soldier in Sicily.
 Sen. Ebert D. Thomas, D., Utah. ranging Democratic member of the committee, revealed that the com. mittee would study Uatton's record before deciding on his promotion The major document before the committee is Gen. Dwight D. Eisen. howers report on the Sicilian in. cident.
 There are signs that committes would like to accept Eisenhower'' version and close the matter, but Thomas said there were three questions to which the committee feels it should have answers:
 1. Whether Patton ever has been involved in similar incidents.
 2. Whether similar conduct may be the reason for the abrupt trans fer of other general officers from one command to another without explanation.
 3. What was the war depart. ment's reason for the first Allie4 headquarters statement on the Pat ton case which was tantamount e denial of facts acknowledged thg next day.

Flyers Raid Chieures And Gernnar1y Berlin Gets Rest
lU. s. Signal Corps Photo from NEA Telephoto)

London, Nov. 29.-(UP)-Marau- der medium bomberS of the United States Eighth Air Force raided the German airfield at Chievres in south Belgium near Mons today after British Mosquitoes struck at vest ern Germany by night.
 Spitfire fighters escorted the Marauders attacking Chievres near the French border.
 Berlin had it's second straight night of respite from bombing, giv- ing the battered city a chance to put out the fires that had burned for more than a week.
 The speedy twin-engined Mos quitoes picked up the Allied air offensive against Germany as fog grounded the RAF bomber con- mand's -engined heavyweights for the second straight night. All returned safely, as did other bomb- CTS engaged in routine mine-lay- ing operations.
 Large Formations
 Large formations of Allied day light bombers swept across the southeast coast at intervals for an hour this morning to put the offen- Sive back on an around the clock basis. Targets were not disclosed immediately.
 The daylight raiders later were identified as medium bombers op- erating in deteriorating weather. A number of Allied fighters also crossed the English Channel.
 Reports from Europe indicated the Germans finally had controlled huge confiagrations kindled during the RATS record nine-day offensive against Berlin and were turning to the mammoth task of restoring transportation, water supplies and gas and electricity services.
 The Berlin correspondent Of the Zurich newspaper Die Tat said res cue squads, including German troops and Italian war prisoners. were excavating in the twisted and charred wreckage of office buildings and dwellings for thousands of per- sons buried alive.
 Hundreds, many of them half suffocated and wounded, were res cued alive and rushed to hospitals and to first aid tents erected in the

uu T&i High Droft 2 Call For Jan.

Washington, Nov. 29-(UP)-Ear- Her prospects for a drop in induc- tion rates after the first of the year were blasted over the weekend with revelation that the War and Navy departments have certified a Jan- uary draft call of about 25O,000 men the highest monthly quota since last June and about twice as high as the War Manpower commission had anticipated.
 War department officials told con- gress during the debate on the father draft bill last September that the Army expected to reach tis peak strength of 7,70O,000 men on Jan. l and that thereafter their only need would be replacements. The Navy is not scheduled to reach its peak until mid-1944.
 Lagging enlistment of WAVES and WACS was given as major reason for the high January quota. Officials admitted that their recruit ing campaigns for women had been disappointing. Another factor was the failure of braft boards, uncer- tain about the drafting of pre-Pearl Harbor fathers because of congress sional action, to meet October schedules.
 There was no authoritative esti- bate whether the expected curtail- ment of inductions can be started in February. Ofhcials said it de- pended upon the ability of draft boards to make up their October deficiencies in January and the fu- ture results of WAVE and WAC en- lstment campaigns.
 Draft boards fell about 3O,000 short of meeting their October quotas and the WAC recruiting drive, officials said, is running 53,- 900 behind schedule. The WAVE drive Is tagging about 44,000.

Committee Attacks OPA

Washington, Nov. 29 - U.P) - A special house committee charged today that the Office of Price Ad- ministration and other executive agencies had used the subsidy pro- gram, lend-1ease act and needs ot the armed forces as 8 "subterfuge to impose legislation upon the country which congress had failed or refused to enact"
 In the third interim report in its investigation of excess use of au- thority by the executive branch, the committee, headed by Representa- tive Howard Smith. D., Va, center ed it's attack on the OPA.

Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin
 Begin Meetings, Rumor Says

London, November 29. - (UP) - Travellers reaching Lisbon reported there today that President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill had been in Cairo for several days and that Premier Josef Stalin was on the way to meet them. A Lisbon dispatch quoting the travellers said Stalin now is in Teheran and would proceed to Egypt for a meet ing at which he, MT. Roose- welt and Churchill would formulate Ge m a nd ds for the immediate unconditional surrender of Germany.
 (The Lisbon dispatch relayed through the British censorship was the most fortnight report so far of the many circulated regarding a Roosevelt -Stalin- Churchill meeting. Others have be enlargely of Axis origin, obviously not dependable and of a propaganda natureo
 The United Press report from Lisbon regarding the purported con- ference did not identify the travel CTS or say where they came from. It mentioned both Cairo and Alex andria as possible meeting places of the Allied Big Three.
 An earlier Nazi broadcast heard in Stockholm said the three already are proceeding with the momentous conference.
 Though the broadcast said the conference was being held at an "undefined place." other reports reaching Stockholm suggested the Big Three" were meetirE in North Africa.
 Eduard Benes. president of the Czech exile government, also was participating at Stalin's express wish, the German radio said, while the London Daily Mail reported ru- mors circulating that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and person representing Germany in some ca pacity not yet clear may turn up."
 Coinciding with the widespread speculation over the Roosevelt Churchill -Stalin meeting was a new outcropping of German peace feeler reports, including Nazi mission to the Vatican.
 The Stockholm newspaper Svenska Dagbladet quoted Swiss sources for rrlmors that President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill had left their countries to meet Premier Stalin probably in North Africa"

LAND, SEA AND AIR PUSH END
 LULU IN ITALY

Allied Headquarters, AL giers, November 29. - (UP) = British Eighth Army Forces have smashed into the Adriatic anchor of the German winter line in Italy, it was announced today as an increase in land, sea and air action indicated the Hull in the battle toward Rome was ended.
 The Nazis used flame throwing tanks for the first time in Italy in a futile attempt to stop Gen. Sir Bernard l.. Montgomery's veterans, who plunged forward with aid of an earth shaking artillery and aer- ial bombardment.
 In the first lunge, 8 foothold in the enemy'S line was gained near Castelfrentano, just inland from the Adriatic, and other Eighth Army troops threw second bridgehead a. cross the Sangro rivev near Archi, 14 miles inland.
 A conmurique said the British, Indian and New Zealand forces were making good progress in heavy fighting.
 As the British struck in early morning darkness yesterday, Amer ican forces forged 8 slight gain ill high ground on the Fifth Army sector and Allied boynbers ranged north to Trieste to cut the Aus tria. Italy railroad.
 Warship's Aid Attack
 On Saturday British WarshipS bonlbarded the enemy's rear lines in the Gulf of Gaeta on the west coast the second time in six days and the previous two days other surface ves- sels sheled German positions on the Adriatic.
 Failing to stop the Eghth's attack with regular tanks and special flame -throwers, the Germans sent 40 planes in four waves at the as- Sault forces but each wave was in- tercepted, forced to jettison it's bombs and turned back with losses.
 Germans defending the eastern anchor of the winter line were 1den- tified as from the 65th division. Prisoners included Poles as well as troops pressed into service from Lorraine.
 After the new Sangro crossing in- land from the broad bridgehead won last week, the British lost ground to Nazi counter attack but regained it, plus additional areas. This crossing threatened lateral highway behind the enemy line.
 The Allies passed to the attack as improving weather relieved the

Nations Talk Nozi Status

Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 29.- (UP)-The United Nations today were determined to reduce postwar Germany to a complete state of powerlessness as trade, military and political factor in world affars.
 The temper of delegates to this conference, plotting relief operations for liberated Europe, made clear that they were determined that they were determined that Ger many's power will be destroyed when peace finally comes
 The latest expression of the will of Germanys ne;ghbors came yes terday whne P. A. Kerstens, Nether- lands, Economic Minister and UNRRA delegate told a news con- ference that negotiations were al- ready under way in London to. par tition Germany'S industrial and trade facilities
 Kerstens said the Netherlands government already has arranged with Czechcoslovakia for an -ex change of trade information on what eahc country might buy from or sell to the other after the war.
 Kerstens, emphasizing that he was not putting forth the views of his government but was speaking in 8 personal capacity, said that similar talks were going on with Poland and that he hoped the United States also would join the general clearing house of information on postwar trade activities.
 Germany should be deprived of the industrial capacity on which she has built her military machine" i" Kerstens said. "She must be pre- vented from exercising the economic methods of penetration she has used in the past"
 Norwegian Ambassador Wilhelm Munthe De Morgenstierne told a new conference that Germany must
