British Premier
And President
Speed TO Cairo
Leaders Renew Parleys
In Egypt, Believed
Relating to InvasiOns

CAIRO, Dec. 6. tUP)-President
Roosevelt, described as elated and
confident that the Tehran confer
ence with Premier Joseph Stain
had shortened the war, began SER
les of new conferences with Prime
Minister Winston Churchill and
other leaders Immediately upon
their return from Iran.
There appeared little doubt that
they were following up the Tehran
decisions with specific action. The
range of discussions among the
Allied leaders was as broad as the
world.
While the communiques have
failed to mention any specific areas
such as Finland, Poland, the Bal
kans or the Dardanelles, there was
no question that the talks, which
are continuing, dealt with such spe-
cific areas.
SPECULATION RIPE
Speculation regarding the nature
of possible action centered on the
military phase, particularly the
statement in the Tehran communi-
que about attacks upon Germany
from the, east, south, and west. 4
The attack from the east already
was developed fully. The attack
from the west is still to come
presumably on a date set By the
three Allied leaders in Iran. The
attack from the south thus far has
been confined to Italy. Any expan-
sion from the south inevitably would
include the Balkans, where Turk
ish participation would be most
helpful.
CITES TURKEY MOVES
cThe German news agency DNB
in a broadcast in London quoted
the Turkish newspaper TENN as
SAYING that President Inonu of
Turkey had gone to Cairo to confer
with Mr.. Roosevelt and Churchill
mot merely as a gesture of friend
ship but because talks occurred at
Cairo dealing with the most i'm
oortant problems of the present and
postwar period interesting the fate
OF the world and of Turkey" The
newspaper was quoted further as
saying that the Turkish nation was
determined not to be dragged into
adventures as long as Turkish vital
interests were not involved The
German Transocean news agency
SAID Inonu was accompanied by
Foreign Minister human Menemen-
cioglu, Marshal Chakmak, and the
British and American ambassadors.
The original conferences among
President Roosevelt, Prime Minis
ter Churchill, and Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek were held at the
Mena house, hotel situated al
most at the base of the pyramids
and long famous among tourists.

LONDON, Dec. 6. (UP)-Premier
Josef Stalin's 325-mile trip beyond
the borders of Russia to Tehran
may not have represented much
mileage compared with the thou
sands travelled by his fellow con-
ferees, President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill, but it
shattered tradition of 81 years.
Not since 1912 had Russias
man of steel" left his country. He
travelled in that year to Crakow,
then a part of Austria, to meet Nj
colai Lenin, the Russian revolution
ary leader.
The dispatches from Tehran did
not tell how Stain travelled to his
historic meeting with the two lead
erS of the western world. He may
have made the journey in special
car carrying no identifying marks
and containing two guard rooms
as well as kitchen, double bedroom
and study. He has used such a
car great deal since coming to
power.
Despite the infrequence of his
departures from the country, Stain
is very nearly as much of widely
travelled man" as either of his two
conferees-but his travels contrast
widely from theirs. Roosevelt, the
son of wealthy parents, toured
Europe in luxury while a young
man, visited the battlefronts of
France while assistant secretary of
the navy in World War 1, and has
made many swings around the
United States since becoming presi-
dent. Churchill, likewise able to
visit widely because of his family
fortune, made an adventuresome
trip to South Africa as a war COR

Housing is at a premium in I'M

Monday morning when sixteen Of

The reason for the sudden de-

Fifth Army Advances
On Road to Rome
Despite Heavy Rain

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, AL
giers, Dec. 6. (UP)-American troops
of the Fifth army have captured
three more heights in the Mount
Maggiore peaks dominating the
main road to Rome, Allied head
quarters announced Monday, as the
Germans threw strong forces into
heavy battles trying to stall the
Allied offensive in Italy.
Fighting in country so rugged
that planes had to parachute sup
plies to the ground forces, the
Americans gained new positions
from which they were threatening
to break into the flat Liri valley and
storm northward toward Casino.
West of Venafro, not far from
the main fighting front in the Fifth
army sector, the Germans threw in
a desperate counterattack but were
beaten back with heavy losses while
the Eighth army on the Adriatic
advanced to the Moro river, only
two miles from Oronto.
A new regiment of German panzer
grenadiers was thrown into action
to oppose Gen. Sir. Bernard L.
Montgomery's Eighth army, front
reports said, adding that battles all
along the line were growing fiercer.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's
communique said, however, that the
advance was continuing on both
flanks despite the stiffened resist
ance.
Rain still was falling on the
Fifth army mountain front, where
American and British forces were
cleaning out German pockets by
passed when they pushed through
the mountains behind heavy artil-
lery bombardments.

A Flag For Billy
The Ell Centre Chamber of Com
inerce sent Billy Shultz a Bruin
flag Monday morning SO that Billy,
Robert Knudsen, and Fred Haflin-
ger will not have to be ashamed
when they see no California flag
in the USO in Norman, Okla.
I'VE appreciate the loyalty Of
these Ell Centro boys and are glad
to supply them with flag for the
USO," Secretary Ben Herring said
Monday. Those boys are in the
navy doing their duty for their
country. They are just as loyal to
their home state of California. 1t is
boys like these which make our
country and our state the great
ones that they are. 1t is good to
know we can do something for these
boys"

forts. Several people wanted to
send Billy Bruin flag but the

man rear services"
U. S. Aided Situation.
The fact that we have been able
to supply Russia with many thou
sands of our best tactical aircraft
helps explain that crucial mastery,
True, the Russians have produced
some excellent airplanes themselves,
but the Allied contribution provided
the large margin of superiority
the balance Of power, to use a po-
litical phrase-that clinched their
control of the skies.
In sense Russia is the bene-
flciary of mistaken military think
ing on our part. Because we Wis
uallzed the war we were going to
fight as an old-fashioned surface
struggle between great armies and
navies, our aeronautical industry
was geared primarily for the pro-
duction of great masses Of small
tactical airplanes to assist such sur
face actions. When war started, 1t
became apparent that there was
no work for our vast output OF tao
tical aircraft. There were no ma
jor land fronts on which this great
mass of accessory airplanes could
be used.
Russia's entry into the struggle on
our side, however, offered vital en-
ployment for these planes. Germany
and Russia are on the same CONT
nent, without any water barriers,
and tie struggle has been one for
occupation and possession of terri
tory. That sort CT war called for
huge arm es, which in turn required
huge quantities of precisely the kind
of auxiliary aviation we could most
readily spare. Our strategic mis-
carriage, it may be said, thus served
to bolster Russia's surface war.
British Build Bomber Force.
After the Battle of Britain, the
British grasped the decisive posi-
bilities of strategic bombing and be-
gan construction Of a great bombing
force which by 1912 undertook the
assault on German industries on a
large scale. American participation
at that time was very slight, as we

Russia is the one battle arena
where vast ground operations on
the orthodox mile-by-mile pattern
have been under way Because of
the paucity of detailed informs ton
about the aviation phase of those
operations, the role Of air power
has remained badly blurred. Yet
1t is possible to show that even on
the great Russian frcnt United Ma
tions aerial superiority has tcen,
directly and indirectly, a decisive
force.
Clear-cut Soviet aerial control
undoubtedly has been a major ele-
ment in shaping the magnificent
Russian victories. Had the Ger

I'VE finally understood that the SUBJ

Even in purely land warfare in
Russia, 1t thus appears, victory
must be credited In large part to
United Nations superiority in the
air all over the face of the globe.
Without the Allied contribution Of
auxiliary airplanes, without our
strategic bombardment of Germany,
without the aerial offensive against
the U-boat menace, Russia's chances
of licking the invaders would have
been greatly, perhaps fatally, under

did not really swing into full pro-
duction Of heavy bombers until that
year. As late as February, 1912,
1t should be recalled, we were still
giving battleships, tanks and even
trucks higher priorities than the
four-engine bomber. But with the
growing realization that the CONT
nent could not be invaded until
Germany was sufficiently softened
from the air, American strategy was
revised and construction Of heavy
bombers increased. AS a result, we
were able recently to undertake
direct bombardment of Germany
and German-held industries on a
scale comparable TO the British.
Thus the United Nations have
been taking part in the Russian &C
ton In two ways. On the one
hand we were providing aircraft Co
strengthen the aviation umbrella
over the Russian battlefront without
which the Germans could never have
been defeated. On the other, we
were reducing Hitler's airpower
through the destruction of It's in
dustrial sources, lines Of commune
cation and supply. In other words,
we were raising Russia's air poten-
tial and simultaneously lowering
Germans air potential. Without in
any way detracting from the amaz-
ing skill and heroism of the Red
Army, fairness to the common effort
requires that this two-way squeeze
be recognized and accorded its due
share in the Russian triumphs.
