CHIEF OF STAFF VISITS PACIFIC WAR FR0NT5
Meeting with .MdeArihur and HdIsey Stirs
 Speculation
tBy Associated Press

Gen. George c. Marshall, Army Chief of Staff. has completed series of visits to Pacific lines and conferences with leaders of the anti Japanese offensives.
 The announcement was made after Gen. Marshalls return to the main- land and stirred speculation of new momentous blows.
 The reports came from Gen. Mac Arthur and Adm. Halsey's head quarters in Honolulu of the gen. erals visit on his return from the Cairo and Teheran conferences by transport plane. It was his first meeting with Gen MacArthur since the outbreak of the war.
 The two met at an advanced headquarters island north of New Guinea on December Is, the day the Americans landed on New Britain. Aboard combat plane, Gen. Mar shall flew forward to the base where Gen. Macarthur and his aides were directing the New Britain offensive.
 The visits are interpreted ill Washington. as meaning that Gen. Marshall is carrying details of the high strategy as it is unlikely that he would have undertaken the haz- ardous Pacific flights merely for an inspection.

Depends on Whether '0ut- side Influences Play
 ed Part in Coup

LA PAZ, Bolivia, Dec. 22.-The desire for effective cooperation" between the United States and Bol- ivia in an early settlement of nego- tiations concerning tin and quinine was expressed by the Minister of the new government, Maj. Gualberto Villarroel and Minister of Economy Gusavo Chacon, who said:
 T believe that effective coopera- tion ought to exist between the United States and Bolivia within the shortest time possible, and we should face matters left pending by the laxness of the former govern ment, inclding tin and quinine, in the interest of both countries. These matters should not be further post poned."
 The Villarroes government turned it's attention to retributive measures in what they described as last De- cember's "Catave massacre" when 19 were killed and 35 injured when troops fired on striking tin mine workers.
 , The government announced a de- cree providing indemnities for the victims and said that measures aimed at determining the culpabil- ity for the shooting will follow.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-For the first time step toward stream- lining Congress has been taken which the folks on Capitol Hill think has a chance of getting some where.
 It's the Maloney- -Monroney bill, simultaneously introduced in the Senate by Senator Francis Maloney, of Connecticut, and in the House by Rep. A. S. Mike Monroney of Oklahoma.
 Briefly it would establish an ab- solutely bipartisan committee ethree Democrats and three Republicans from each side of the Capitol to study ways and means and sug- gest legislation for overhauling the creaky congressional machinery. Broadly, the objectives would be to whittle the unwieldy committee sys- tenn into an effective legislative in- strument and to establish a better working relationship between Con- gress and the executive depart ments and bureaus.

WASHINGTON, Dec. P. - New complications are added to the rail- road crisis as leaders of Is non- operating railroad unions, number ing more than million workers, set December 30, at o'clock in the morning as the time for the begin ming of nationwide strike.
 The operating brotherhoods, re- presenting 350,00O workers have al- ready called a strike for the same date.

The W ashingto Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON fx.,or Robert .. Allen on active dntyo

WASHINGTON When popular hard-working Ed Stettinius came III as Under Secretary of State, 1t was expected that he would soon "orh miracles of efficiency.
 Ed had been trained in big busi- ness from the ground up. His fath- er was with J. P. Morgan. He nm self went into the U. s. Steel Cor poration, quickly became it's heao Previously, he had been an execu- five of General Motors, also a d. rector of North American Aviation General Aviation, IVA, and west ern Air Express.
 So it was expected that Ed would oil up the creaking old machinery of diplomacy and make 1t prance down Pennsylvania Avenue.
 Ed has now labored nightly ana brought forth his first great revoiu- tion Frankly, it is mouse.
 One of the things for which the State Department has long been famous is its array of Negro mes- sengers sitting in the corridors out side the executive offices. These gentlemen are among the elite or Washington's colored community. One was once Teddy Roosevelts coachman. Another fought With Cordell Hull in the Spanish-Amerl- can War. Many are lawyers and have probably sneaked in little reading of the law while not ush- ering ambassadors in to see the Secretary of State or distributing coded messages from Cairo and Teheran.
 A messenger sat at a table Just outside the door of the Secretary of State, the Under-Secretary, ana each Assistant Secretary. But now Ed Stettinius, as his first great move to streamline the State De- partment, has taken these tables out of State Department corridors
 Instead of sitting just outside the door of each executive in oroei to open the door for distinguisneo visitors, the messengers now si' in what was once the mems iaVa- tory. The room has been revampeo but even so, there is great indigna- tion among the colored messengers From their privileged status as es- corts to ambassadors and Cablne' members, they are relegated to re- lative oblivion.
 AS far as efficiency goes, Il doesn't matter one way or thf other-though it does look prettier State Department officials are nov wondering what the next grea move of "Streamlined" Stettiniu. will be.

N CIV Plan Offered by
 Brotherhood
Railway Unions Draft An- other Proposal 10 Sub-
 mil 10 Roosevelt

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Leaders of the five railroad operating broth erhoods today completed the draft of a counter proposal to settle a wage dispute and avert strike called for December 30.
 These brotherhoods originally asked a minimum increase of three dollars a day. This was reduced 10 sixty-four cents in the counter pro- posal, but added demands for paid vacations and overtime after 40 hours for yardmen away from home and expenses for roadmen.
 The overtime plan adds three dol lars and ninety one cents to the top bracket yardmen, who estimate away from home expenses average as high as twenty-five dollars a month.
 Plans were made to submit the new proposal, on basis of settle ment, to President Roosevelt, as mediator of the dispute as soor as the White House will receive the delegation.
 Fifteen other brotherhoods, re- presenting more than million non- operating rail employees joined tht operating Unions in calling strike on December 30, but up until early this afternoon there was no govern ment intervention in the "non-ope ating" case.

(By Associated Press)

The Russian Baltic Army, surging forward unchecked have advanced another five miles and now stard only IS miles from the Nazi fort ress city of vitebsk, Reuters re- ported from Moscow.
 The encirclement of the city be- came hourly more imminent, and thus, this thrust and the compan- ion drive toward the important rail junction at Polotsk 60 miles west threatened the stability of the en- tire German line defending the Bal tic states.
 A Russian communique earlier re- ported the forces of Gen. Bagra- milan are within 20 miles of Vitebsk. From the north through captured Gribali and less than 25 miles away to the east his troops, storming down from Nevel yesterday, blasted their way through a 50-mile gap deep into the German defenses, capturing more than 100 villages and leaving 1,600 Germans dead in their wake.
 At the extreme southern end of the 800-mile long battle front meanwhile, Russian armies liqu:- dated the Nazi bridgehead on the south bank of the Dniepcr River opposite Kherson near the rivers mouth, and dispatches said full scale attack against the city itself is expected momentarily.

WANT FACTS

WASHINGTON, Dec. g. The United States government, confront ed with the question of the recogni- tion of the new government of Bolivia wants to know if any ''out- side influence unfriendly to the Allied cause" had any part in the coup which overthrow the Pen aranda regime.
 This was made plain when Sec- retary of State Cordell Hull was asked to define his attitude toward recognition of the new government Hull said. Considerations of the se- curity of this hemisphere and the war effort of the United Nations must have the first importance in any matter of this or similar char acter, and included in the revelant considerations is the question ot whether outside influence unfriend- ly to the Allied cause played any part"

 Nearly every member of the House and Senate has recognized this state of affairs, but every ef- fort to improve it has been tossed into the discard by Congressional leaders who are afraid reorganiza- tion would hack off the privileges and prestige they enjoy now.
 For example, what members of the Military and Naval Affairs Committees would be willing to see their present rickety box cars made over into tear-drop six-seaters in which only few of them could ride?
