WASHINGTON, Dec. II CUP)-
President Roosevelt returned to the
White House today from his Cairo
and Tehran conferences and was
given a loud welcome by virtually
every important figure in the gov
ernment
The first thing Mr. roosevelt did
after shaking hands with countless
old friends was to hold quick con-
ference with his congressional lead
ers and inform them that he will
not be able to report directly to
congress on his trip until he de-
livers his annual state of the Union
Message in early January.
The President did indicate, how
ever, to the congressional leaders
that he would devote some of his
Christmas Eve address to a discus
sion of his conferences.
Mr.. Roosevelt'S first opportunity
to discuss his overseas trip and war
conferences publicly will come Fri
day afternoon at l pm. tPWT),
when he will hold his first press
and radio conference since Novem-
Eer 9.

Bari, 7uruwo

WASHINGTON Dec. II CUP) =
Congressional concern over recent
military losses was underscored Fri
day with disclosure that the senate's
Truman committee is investigating
the costly Nazi bombing of the
italian port of Bari and the high
cost of capturing Tarawa in the
Gilberts.
The Truman committee reported
ly was investigating solely from the
point of supply and performance of
war materiel and is avoiding
scrupulously anything that could
be construed as second-guessing in
military strategy. What the COM
mittee wants to know, itTwas en-
phasized, is whether more or better
materiel could have forestalled such
events as Bari and Tarawa.
The Bari attack, which cost II
Allied ships and 1000 casualties and
was described as the most severe
blow to Allied shipping since Pearl
Harbor, was expected to prompt
further conferences with General
II, Fl. Arnold, chief of the army air
forces.
1T seems to raise a question of
what we are doing with all the air.
planes we are producing-9,O00 in
a month and $4,000 in year-and
how effective they are" said one
committee member.
The Bari attack reportedly was so
successful because it came as a
complete surprise to vital Mediter-
ranean port from which all air
support had been moved northward,
closer to the fighting lines.

Friday the Red Cross reported, as
a railroad official said he could not
explain why the wreck could not
have been averted in the 40 min
utes between the derailment of one
train and the arrival of the other.
The Red Cross said its latest
breakdown from the scene of the
accident was that Al of the dead

ilians, and that 10 bodies were
known to be still in two cars.
The known toll had been increas-
ed to 70 only short time |efore,
when the body of an unidentified
civilian was removed from twisted
railroad car, and searchers later
reported that two cars each con-
tanned five bodies.
TRIED TO FLAG TRAIT!

of the Atlantic Coast Line, reveal
ing that Frank Belknap, engineer
of the northbound train had sur

of the stalled train had tried to

VALLEY SHIPS FIRST CARS
OF LETTUCE IN SEASON

The lettuce season officially open
ed this week. Two cars of lettuce
were shipped from BraWley mark
ing the start of the season which
is expected to reach its peak the
latter part of January.
One car was consigned to San
Francisco and the other to Twin
Falls, Idaho.
At the time of planting a greater
lettuce season than last year was
anticipated due to the fact that
2,657 more acres were planted. Re-
planting, however, may cut down
both the yield and acreages to be
harvested.
Last year 5000 cars valued at
100000 were shipped out of the
valley. With the possible additional
acreages this year this peak may
be surpassed.

Allied fighters and anti-aircraft
guns successfully repelled each air

Tex, had seized the entire Arawe
