Island

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, Sept. 25.-Gen.
Mark Clark's Fifth Army has fought
its way onto the hills looking down
on the plain leading to Naples in
a furious day and night offensive.
Supported by heavy artillery bar
ranges, the Americans battered
through German tank resistance
and drove past strong gun emplace-
ments.
In the air, Allied fighters shot
down 10 of the Germans huge jun
kers transports in another sweep at
the enemy's hard-pressed air evac-
uation movement from the island
of Corsica where French patriots,
regulars and American Rangers are
driving in on the tight evacuation
corner.
At least 10 more German air
transports were damaged in the
great air battle, The Royal Air
Force has laid a siege to the Ger
man-held tip of the island and is
trapping the Nazi air fleets just as
they were trapped in Tunisia and
Sicily.
The planes are crowded with
technicians and key men, with a
reported 100 men in each plane.
On the land front, Clark's men
struggled forward over a terrain so
difficult that pack mules are being
used extensively to carry guns and
ammunition, but footholds in the
mountain tops have been gained.
One spokesman said the troops
could watch our air forces knock

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.--Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull, Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden, and For
eign Commissar Molotov probably
will meet in Moscow soon to search
for an American British-Soyiet
agreement on war detectives and
postwar collaboration.
1t is possible that Secretary Hull's
delegation will include Joseph Har-
riman, because Hull and new Am
bassador william Standby conferred
today in Harriman's presence. Hull
interrupted the conference after 40
minutes to confer with the Presi-
rent, indicating an urgent decision
was being made.

Berle volunteered, never told any
one that he dig up the ruble quo
tations from the New York Times,
so later was taken to Paris as chief
of the Russian division of the AM
erican delegation.
Ever since, Berle has been an ex-
pert on Russia, and as such he has
been (until recent weeks an out
and-out Russian opponent.
The State Departments Russian
policy always was based upon the
old, last war thesis of building up
a series of buffer states against
Russia. Chief architect of this pol
icy was Berle, and it is toward him
that Secretary Hull usually has
turned during lengthy round table
State Department conferences when
the question swung to Russia.
1t was Berle who took hand in
stopping the shipment of oil refin-
ing machinery to Russia in the fall
of 1941 after the President had
approved.
Gen. James Burns, on July %,
1941, had submitted list of COM

Merry Go Round

major Robert 8. Allen on active duty)
This is the third in the series
of Drew Parsons articles on
the inside of the State Depart
ment, now holding the spotlight
almost more than any other
agency in WashingtOn.)

WASHINGT0N-Adolf Berle, Jr.,
Assistant Secretary of State, is an
other of the many monuments to
the fact that manor his wife
must have a private fortune if he
is to go places in American diplo-
macy.
Coupled with this necessary
wherewithal, Berle has one OF the
most brilliant minds in the Roose-
welt Administration, a generally
progressive approach, and an over
weening conceit. There is some
justification for this conceit. Berle
entered Harvard a gangling youth
of IA, still in knee-breecheS, grad
uated in law at 81. He has written
more weighty tones = on Liquid
Claims" Corporation Finance and
National Wealth"-than any other
Brain Truster.
Finally he is progressive enough,
according to the magazine New
Yorker, to have twin tubs in his
bathroom, so that he and Mrs.
Berle. both busy people, can have
time to converse while bathing. For
this, he has won the title OF Two
Bathtub Berle."
Mrs. Berle also is progressive
sometimes much to the consterna-
ton of the staid old State Depart
ment. 1t literally wrung its hands
over Mrs. Berle's proposal to lee
ture on birth control in the Cath
Ollie capital of Peru while her hus-
band was delegate to the Lima
Conference.
Mrs. Berle, the former Beatrice
Bishop. had to be progressive to
mary Adolf. She took her fortune
in her hands when she did so. Her
father disowned her and she was
given away at the wedding by her
uncle, Ambassador william P. Flet-
cher, former Chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee. Since
then, however, she has secured a
large share of the Bishop millions
and recently sold block of New
York real estate for $4,000, 600.

cessful defense battle, he said, and
successfully removed all the war
plants west and all military in
