CHURCHILL PASSES
PNEUMONIA CRISIS
Continued from Page One)

There was still some uneaslness
here over the fact that the bulletin
cited "some irregularity of pulse.
This was because it has been noted
Churchill is being attended by
heart specialist in his present ILL
ness somewhere in the Middle East
although he required only his reg
ular physicians during his previous
attack of pneumonia in London last
February.
Churchill had been under tremen-
dous strain, increased by his trips
to Washington, Moscow, Quebec,
Teheran and Cairo. and he is a
driving worker whose exertions
might well exhaust younger
heart.
However, it now was hoped that,
barring a relapse, he would be con-
valescent by Christmas and able
to return from the Middle East
within a few weeks, contrary to
earlier reports which indicated the
prime minister might be forced to
remain away several months.
The spirit of optimism prevailing
in London stemmed not only from
the clinical reports of the improve
ment in his condition, but also from
word that the 69-year-old cabinet
chief had been able to read impor-
tant war dispatches.
With Mrs. Churchill at his bed
side at secret location somewhere
in the Middle East, it was said he
insisted on keeping in touch with
the latest developments on the Rus
sian, Italian and far Pacific battle
fronts and had given a strict order
that his illness should not inter-
fere with or delay war plans agreed
upon Teheran and Cairo.

FOREIGN POLICY
PLANS OPPOSED
Move To Bring Democrats,
COP Together Mark
ed For Failure
BY JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 th' -
Back stage moves to bring demo
Gratis and republicans together on
an identical foreign policy plans
that would remove the issue from
the 1914 presidential campaign
were marked for failure today by
congressional members of both
parties.
Some political leaders have been
talking about incorporating in
both platforms a unified statement
somewhat similar to the senate's
declaration. after the Moscow con-
ference, for post war international
peace cooperation.
But the practical minded office
holders in congress generally think
that. while it might be possible for
the democrats and republicans to
get together on ideas and language,
the probability of any such action
is extremely remote.
Senator Taft (R-Ohio), voicing
what seemed to be typical repub-
lican view, said that while he would
like to see an identical statement
adopted, he realized there were
many physical obstacles barring
the way. He mentioned among
these the likelihood that the re-
publican convention would meet
first and adopt its platform with
out any democratic action having
been taken on the foreign policy
question.
There could be no means, he
said, of the republicans having as
surance that the democrats would
follow in their footsteps, even if
leaders agreed in advance on the
wording of statement.
Agreeing with this analysis, Sen
ator Lucas D-IlD said that while
the objective of removing the is
sue from the campaign was worth
while, he believed it impossible of
attainment.
''Whatever agreements might be
reached in advance, they could be
overturned by the delegates at the
convention he said. Even the
change of one word might make
all the difference in the world in a
plank of that kind
Senator Ball (R-Minn), one of
the leaders in the fight for a strong
statement for post war collabora-
ton with other nations, said he
thought the republican platform
would have to be much more
specific on foreign affairs than that
of the democrats to remove any
suspicion that the party clings to
isolationism.

CONGRESS SIDETRACKS
TISSUES UNTIL 1914

numbering over 10000 900, also was
proposed by the Civil Service COM
mission in a report submitted to
congress by President Roosevelt.
The commission suggested that
employees dropped from the fed
eral payroll after the war be given
three months salary in addition
to accrued annual leave, or that
they be accorded unemployment
compensation, computed on the
basis of industrial workers, for 26
| weeks.
Late in the day, congress voted
$500, 900, 900 to tide government de-
partments over through mid-sum-
| mer, but it refused a senate at
tempt to give the lawmakers
tight rein on all war spending.
Acting on recommendations of
senate and house conferees, the
two houses struck out an amend
AAANAAe ~ OClldlOI NIChtlldI H.
Tenn which would have outlawed
the budget bureaus practice of
holding unspent Army and Navy
appropriations in reserve.
Mcclellan said the amendment
would have forbidden government
departments from spending money
on projects without specific ap-
proval of congress. He said it
would have made impossible such
undertakings as the Army's con-
troversial Canol oil development in
Canada. Opponents of the change
said it might have interfered with
military operations.

house originally voted $1,000, 900
and the senate tried unsuccessfully
to push the total to $97 500, 900.

The Japanese campaign to capture

excellent account Of itself in the
campaign, Chennault declared.
Zone morning over Changteh Chin
