Cor the whole of Congress for that

Gone now, by defeat at the polls
are Sen Harry F. Ashurst of Ari-

for years; and Sen. George w
Norris, of Nebraska, whose for

There is not even any one in
the Senate now with the frenzied
vitriol of young Sen. Rush Holt OF
West Virginia. In other words, the
GA. gallery appeal in Congress
these days is almost nil.
But one of the oratorical greats
did return to the Senate floor the
other day to make what many
consider one of the greatest
speeches of his career. 1t was the
aging Sen. Hiram johnson of Cal

ed, Put in Minor Role

WASHINGTON, Dec. MEM
bers OF Congress hailed the three
power Cairo pact as guaranteeing
an integrated offensive to crush
Japan and put her in a minor role
in the New World.
Senator Lister Hill, Alabama,
Democrat whip. summed up the
view point, asserting the Cairo de-
claration means the defeat of Japan
and absolute determination she will
not be in position again to bring
the scourge of war on innocent
people
The only rift in the solid applause
over the agreement by both Repub-
licans and Democrats is the question
of how far Chang Kai Shek will be
able TO bring about a settlement of
the complex problems Of the Orient.

Indications are more defined than
ever, however, that the main deci-
sion was that the U. S., Britain
and China should mount an about
assault against Germany before
throwing the full power against the
Japs there.
1t is believed the Allied Com

GLOBE TAKEN
UP AT CAIRO
Military Discussions In
voIyed All War Fronts
Including Japan

The United States and Great
Britain have agreed as to details
of a new invasion of Europe and
perhaps discussed to strike from the
Balkans. This is the report from
good authority regarding the epic
tripower conference held at Cairo
where with China, there was pledged
unrelenting war to thrash Japan to
unconditional surrender ana tear
away the whole Empire she has won
during the SO years of conquest.
There is a feeling in Cairo that
big developments will come from the
five-day meeting of Roosevelt, Chur-
chill and Chang Kai Shek who left
Cairo last Friday for unannounced
destinations after completing talks.

Pressure on Japan
For Japan, the three war leaders
Roosevelt, Churchill and Chang
promised "unrelenting pressure by

will strip Japan of all her Empire

IN UKRAINE

(By Associated Press

Terrible tank battles churned in
decisively in the mud and slush OF
the western Ukraine as the Ger
mans. reinforced by eight mechan-
lied divisions sought to break the
Russian stranglehold on their COM
munications.
The British radio broadcast a
Moscow dispatch reporting a Ger
man counterattack four miles from
the Dnieper bend rail junction OF
Anamenka Yesterday the Berlin
radio reorted that Russian attacks
southwest of Kremenchug had been
intensified, but that Soviet bat
talon which broke through near
Cherkassy was wiped out.
The enemy communique said there
that heavy fighting was continuing
west of Krichev on the Smolensk
highway.
Both sides are employing an ever
larger number of tanks in the bulge
west of Kiev and huge mobile guns
larger than tanks are appearing
in increasing numbers. These are
often used tread to tread with tanks
in hard fighting in the forest and
spotted country where the Nazis
have regained some sectors on the
Leningrad- Odessa Railway
The Germans have apparently pill
ed up a superiority of numbers both
of men and tanks west of Kiev, but
the Soviets are working night and
day to remedy the situation by
funneling reserves across the Dniep-
er River bridges.

and Chang Kai Shek left Cairo for
Teheran. capital city OF iran, there
to meet Stain in the biggest United
Nations conference of the present
war.
Berlin hroadcasts said this con-
ference In Teheran is already
underway.
Secrccy--Precauti0n
In an extraordinary atmosphere
Of secrecy and precaution, the three
leaders Of the United States, Great
Britain and China, met from No
vember % through Novmeber 20,
surrounded by the highest military,
supply and political advisers and
departed at least three days before
the news was given to the public.
The communique issued at the
close OF the meeting said the con-
ference agreed upon plan OF mill
tary operation against Japan which
will bring unreienting pressure
against the brutal enemy by seq,
land and air. and drive Japan back
into her home islands.
In Guarded Zone
The conferences were held in a
strictly guarded zone which restric-
tons even yet will permit only to
be described as in North Africa
Thousands of soldiers and secret
agents guarded the principals
Newspapers correspondents were
not permitted to see single prin-
cipal in the drama and the only
news given out was by four nom
journalistic observers.
The leaders of the three powers
outlined this specific four point pro-
gram regarding Japan:
Four Point Program
First = Japan must disgorge all
islands she has seized in the Pa
cific since the beginning of the first
World War in 1914. This would in
clude Marshall, Caroline and Mar
lana archipelagoes
Second--Manchuria and Formosa.
the Pescadores and all other terri
tories taken from China must be
restored to her
Third-Korea is to be made free
and independent in due course"
Fourth-Japan must be expelled
from "ail other territories which she
has taken by violence and greed"
This would cover all lands she has
seized since Pearl Harbor. the Phil
ippines, Wake, Guam, Hongkong.
Malaga, Burma. The Netherlands
East Indies and French Indo- China.

The W ashington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
fxa,or Robert 3. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON-The color of the
OPA is changing so fast that even
washington officials can hardly
recognize it. Administrator Chester
Bowles has picked up the organiza-
ton, as if it we're a garment, dipped
it in several changes of chlorinated
water, and wrung it out. If pink
was one of the colors Of the OPA
before, it has disappeared entirely.
One of the men who personify
the change is Frank E. Marsh, for
mer regional administrator for the
West Coast, who has now become
a close assistant to Bowles in Wash
ington. When the two men first
met. Marsh sold himself on his
personality, and Bowles apparently
signed him up before learning his
complete record on the West Coast.
That record includes:
/. Opposition to consumer parti-
cipation in OPA enforcement. When
OPA officials worked out program
of enlisting volunteers from. each
neighborhood to serve as price
panel assistants, Marsh blocked the
program.
2. Union batting within his own
organization. When members OF his
own staff joined the Federal work
ers' union, Marsh called them In
for questioning. He always said,
I'm not against unions, but I'm
against Reds" However, he made
it clear that union membership
especially CLIO membership = was
urwelcome.
s. Firing officials who worked for
rigid enforcement, especially in
rent control. He fired Barbara
Armstrong, area rent attorney for
the San Francisco Bay area, who
had an excellent rent enforcement
record; and John McTernan, chief
regional enforcement attorney.
The action in both these cases
was strongly resisted by Tom En-
erson, OPA administrator in charge
Of enforcement. 1t is understood
that, if Emerson had had then the
full powers which he has today, he
would have blocked Marsh's action
In both cases.
