 Lieutenant Harold Christensen was that pilot, nice lad from Eagle Grove, Ia. He had nice crew too but I'm not giving their names because fighting men don't want to have 1t reported that they have emotions. But I have to tell you that every one of those three officers and six enlisted men was blubbering like a baby when they lifted Chris down from the nose and took him to the hospital, where he died a few hours later
 The crew lugged away its per- eonal equipment and left the big ship standing forlornly with the wounds shed earned over Schwein- furt. None of them had gone back since. Some day they hvae to go back to the plane, but not yet.
 Eyes That Stung
 Now they were up at the Officer's Club in their dirty, stained ops, slumped in chairs and trying to read with eyes that stung. One or two tried to play pool but gave it up. They'd offered their blood for Chris but now that was over.
 The RAF boys knew what they were going through. They'd been all through it and they knew it wasn't any use saying anything.
 Maybe that's it. Maybe there isn't any use my saying anything about it now-but I can't help remember ing 1t over all the recollections of blood. noise and battle-that forlorn old Fortress and those nine weep ing boys.

but sharp German counter attacks continuing necessarily on the Fifth's front.
 Effective Mortar Fire
 Fifth Army troops broke up one enemy concentration for a counter thrust with mortar fire before the Germans could get started west of Venafro.
 American forces drove the enemy from the slopes of Hills southwest of the important center of Mignano six miles southwest of Venafro, and captured Mount Rotondo and an other summit in the area.
 The advances put them only one and a half miles from Mignano Weather conditions were described as very severe" slowing down ac- tivity all along the line. especially in the Spiny AppennineS in central Italy where the cold of winter could be felt.
 But new spearheads were driven into the German lines. Crossing an- other bend of the curving Volturno river in the mountains, the Fifth took the town of Colli, six miles west of Isernia, and Monta Quilla, two miles south.
 The Eighth, closing in on the Sangro river, met only light resist ance. The Eighth's forces captured Rionero in five-mile advance, finding the village practically level ed by the Germans: Coccasicora, three miles east of Forli on a lateral road across the peninsula, and Cas- alanguida, three miles northwest of GisSi.
 Aerial reconnaissance pictures showed the Cruiser Quiento had been scuttled across the entrance to the harbor at Leghorn. biggest west coast port between Naples and Genoa near which American tor- pedo boats and similar craft have been ranging. A 330-foot merchant vessel lay at the bottom of the outer harbor. Four other vessels were blocking the southern harbor entrance.
 The Pescara quayside was wrecked by mines in obvious precaution against the port falling into Allied hands. The same operations were carried out at Naples and recent front reports indicated they also may be in progress at Gaeta, nine miles past the Fifth Army's front.
 A communique reported that the British destroyers Quilliam and Raider on Tuesday intercepted an enemy ferry laden with gasoline and ammunition south of Valona, on the Albania coast at the south ern end of the Adriatic sea, and sank it. Two of three escorting motor launches were sunk.
 Fighter bombers and fighters ranged over the battlefront, attack ing enemy bivouac areas, gun posi- tions, motor transport and radio centerS.

tack on Modane, the primary link in rail transport between occupied France and Italy. The air ministry, in its customery terms of reserve, said the attack appeared to have been well concentrated"
 Official reports from Algiers on the Bolzano raid said the fortresses damaged the southwest and north east approaches to the main railroad yards, as well as electric locomotive sheds. car shops and freight sheds. Much" rolling stock was destroyed, while reconnaissance pictures showed the lines up through the Brenner Pass were immobilized.
 Bridge Damaged
 A railroad bridge south of the Bol- zano yards was damaged, and direct hits made it temporarily useless Several fires broke out in the wake of the fortresses.
 Germany has been using the rail- way passing through western France and entering Italy just east of Mo- dane to pour troops and supplies in- to the Turin area and to ship Ital- ian-made arms back to the Reich. British mosquoto bombers joined in the nights offensive byb bombing western Germany for the seventh sartight night without loss. Other bombers laid mines in enemy waters.
 The British fighter command fol- lowed up yesterdays heavy assault on western France. Holland and Bel airfields and transport targets in northern France and shipping off the French coast. Two fighters were lost.
 MOdane Attack
 The attack on Modane was the first large-scale RAF night assault since a big force of four-engined bombers dropped 2,000 tons of bombs on Dusseldorf and Cologne on Nov 3.
 Modane is a key German commu- nications point for the defense oi southern France and northwestern Italy against invasion, for it controls the movement of troops along the main railway line between France and Italy.
 It previously was attacked heavily the night of Sept. l6, when the Mont Cenis tunnel was knocked out, and the new raid presumably wiped out all repair work. The only other rail- way between France and Italy runs along the Ligurian sea coast.
 More than 800 American and Brit. ish planes took part in yesterdays large-scale radis on harbors, ship. ping and airfields along 8 400-mils stretch of the coast of western Eur ope.
 London had an air raid alert last night when an unidentified plane flew over the city, drawing a briei burst of anti-aircraft fire. No bombl were dropped.

ation on general security "consti- tuted on the whole probably the most far reaching decision to which we came"
 This declaration covered the whole future of world security" he said.
 He reported that the European advisory committee agreed upon at the conference would be set up im- meciately in London with the duty of making joint recommendations to the three governments on any questions which the governments may refer to it.
 Limited tO Three
 Eden said the initial membership of the commission was limited to Russia, Britain and the United States because it was an acvisory and not an executive body. "The truth must be faced that it Is upon these thre powers prin- cipally that will lie the responsibil- ity for insuring that the war is fol- lowed by a lasting peace" he said
 If the three powers can agree, there is no problem that is not ca- pable of solution. If We do not agree together, there Is no international event which cannot become an ln- ternational problem"
 Eden's statement was construed as an answer to repeated demands py the French committee of National Liberation for representation on the advisory body.
 He said the Allied advisory coun- ell to deal with Italy, on which the French committee has representa- ton, was independent of the coun- cil in London.
 The Moscow conference had no difficulty in agreeing on declara- ton of policy for Italy, he said, ana If this machinery works well, ana I have every hope that it will. 1t can make a substantial contribu- ton to winning the war and, Still more, to winning the peace
 The discussions at Moscow, Eden said. were frank and exhaustive, "and there was no tendency on the part of any delegates to dodge any difficult or important issue raised"
 Every major European political problem was discussed, he said, in- dicating that the Polish border dis pute was studied.
 "I am not going to pretend for a moment that we agreed on every point" Eden said. Tt would be an international millennium and we are not near that yet. But we do know each others point of view on all , these subjects. ...
 "The Anglo -American-Soviet as sociation is based on firmest founda- tions-common interest. There IS the same strong interest in peace and in securing that no aggressor shall again break the peace"
