slated to be deputy commander in

The 43-year-old Briton. who will

the post. He now commands the
American forces in China, Burma

1t became known also that Ad-

post, speculation has mentioned 1t.
Gen. Mark w. Clark, now command

North Africa. Gen. Clark's achieve
ments as diplomat-soldier would
seem to make him a logical choice.
but working against this assign
ment is the fact that his present
command and rank are such that
a. job as deputy chief of staff to
Lord Louis would hardly be re-
garded AS promotion.
Lord Louis yesterday spent two
hours at the War Department. talk

Alexander Smith of Princeton, COP
State chairman and New jersey
member of the Republican National
Committee, said last night any post
war attempt by the United States
to make ourselves powerful enough
to beat the whole world single
handed would lead only to another
world race for armament and, ulti-
mately, TO more war.
Americas S future safety, Mr. Smith
said in a statement, is primarily
1.-THE safety that alone can come
from the spirit of unity and self
reliance within a nation. and intel
ligent, constructive and friendly re-
lations with the other nations of
the earth"
q THE greatest and possibly the
only real safety for America" the
COP chairman continued, "lies in a
recognition of the interdependence
of Independent nations and the
common purpose of cooperating
both to preserve the peace and to aid
the economic, social. political and
: spiritual welfare of all peoples"
Mr.. Smiths statement was issued
as comment on the foreign policy
f" program of his colleague in the Re-
publican National Committee, Clar-
ence B. Kelland of Arizona. He
said Mr.. Kelland's program. pre-
senting Zones of Safety" was "a

nouncement yesterday that Prime
Minister Churchill will 60 to WASH
ington next week resulted in specu-
lation that he will confer again
with President Roosevelt on political
questions involving the admins
trations of governments in liberated
countries.
One of the agreements announced
at the conferences which ended
Tuesday was that this question
would be taken up with representa-
tives of governments of conquered
countries.
The suggestion also has been
made that Mr.. Churchill and Presi-
dent Roosevelt would confer soon
with a representative of the Rus
sian government on the war and
postwar problems.
British Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden was mentioned during
the conferences as the Allied repre-
sentative to be sent to Moscow, and
the supplementary Washington
meeting may have been planned
to complete details for keeping Pre-
mier Stain fully informed on the
American and British plans.

Army to Shift 3O-Ton Engine
From Trailer to Rails for Show

Removal of Bottom locomotive
from f1atbed trailer to steel rails
on the Washington Monument
grounds will be accomplished with
out the aid of crane, Army officials
arranging the Army-Treasury Third
War Loan show there said today.
1t will be rolling, rather than
lifting operation, it was explained
by 1t. John j. Silva, assistant area
engineer in charge of installations.
The locomotive and overseas "wag-
ons' used in war zones by the
Army's Transportation Corps will
form spectacular feature of Back
the Attack" considering the effort
involved in making the exhibit pos
sible.
1T is known as a cribbing opera
tion," 1t. Silva said. The engine
will be hoisted by crane from a
fiatcar to flatbed trailer. which
will haul it to the Monument
grounds. The trailer and its 30-ton
cargo will be driven alongside the
rails. A rail leading to the ground
rail is attached. The engine Is then
gradually rolled onto the track
Through use of cables. the engine s
downward progress is controlled
The same procedure will be followed
with lowering the overseas boxcars
and other pieces of military rail-
way equipment"
Engineers may dismiss the feat
as being very simple, but to the
uninitiated the task of placing a
locomotive on the exhibition track is
not an everyday occurrence. and
officials in charge expect the job
will attract many spectators.
To Army officers who watched the
laying of rails yesterday, the cere-
mony was significant of the War
Departments d e e r m | n ton to
spare no effort in making Back
the Attack" a realistic show. The
equipment. such as is used overseas.
will be publicly displayed as unit
for the first time.
Some 1900 soldiers participating
in the show will be required to walk
to and from Hains Point and the
Monument grounds each day. In
this manner gasoline will be saved
officers emphasized. The show per-
sonnel will be housed at Hains Point.
AS the physical task of trans
forming the grounds into an ex-
hlbit site continues, thought also is
being given to the aesthetic side.
The stage facing the arena and the
Washington Monument not only is
being painted red, white and blue
and bedecked with flags and bunt-
ing, but also will provide the set
ting for two massive eagles. These
eagles, seen at the New York
Worlds Fair. will be regilded in a
gold color and mounted on special
platforms flanking the center of the

P).-American occupation of Bal

Bougainville as the only japanese
operating base in the Solomons and
dooms the enemy garrison of pos
s!bly 10000 men on Kolombangara

day.
The spokesman for Admiral Will
liam F. Halsey, il, commander of
South Pacific forces, said Bairoko
closed the book" on the 57-day New
Georgia campaign except for minor
operations.
1T was a most satisfying show"
he added. Our losses in personnel
and materiel were light, both COM
pared to the japanese losses and
what we had expected we would
have to pay"
He pointed to the fact that the
enemy is not putting up a fight
against the occupation of Vella
Lavella, another in the chain of
closely spaced Central Solomon
Islands. and said the Japanese cam
not do much there or at Kolom-
bangara unless they gain air and
sea superiority.

the Navy spokesman said "it may be
necessary for US eventually to go in

they are going to be starved out
Quoting the words of an unidentified

ship survivors and fivers who had
been shot down used them as a
refuge.
Many Japs Killed.
The japanese evacuated all but
stragglers from Bairoko over a
period of time, using small landing
boats at nighttime to sneak over to
Kolombangara.
Our small naval craft, chiefly P-1
boats, exacted a heavy toll running
into hundreds of Japanese among
those attempting to escape, and a
majority of the barges intercepted
were damaged or sunk
1t was indicated that when the
japanese realized the Americans
had brought up heavy artillery, they
decided not to make a stand in
their isolated position any longer.
Assuredly, United States artillery
from Bairoko will shell the Villa
airfleld as soon as possible, and
perhaps already is firing away at
the enemy base.
The Bairoko garrison originally
was unoff1cially estimated at 4OC
men but it may later have included
personnel from the Munda airport
