Liberated In Bucharest

BUCHAREST, Sept. l., - up =
This was liberation day in Ro-
mania's capital for 1,100 U. S. air
men who had been shot down over
the Balkan kingdom, and for King
Mlhais warriors captured with the
Germans at Stalingrad.
Bucharest, which had watched
with restrained emotions as the
first Russian troops entered the
city, broke out in the greatest de-
monstration since the king cut the
ties with Germany as the Red
army arrived with Romanian pris-
oners from Stalingrad.
The arrival was proclaimed by
headlines in each of Bucharest's
six daily newspapers, and then
the former prisoners paraded in
uniform once more before great
crowds in the heart of the city.

BEACH ATTACK
BEING PR0BED

Police Chief M. S. Faircloth of
Wrightsville Beach said last night
that investigation Of the attempt
ed murder and attempted GRIMM
al assault of an 18-year-old white
girl at the resort early Thursday
morning was still underway.
Although J. W. Andrews, 26-year-
old negro Of Sumter S. c., is be-
ing held, Chief Faircloth said no
warrant has been issued against
him on these charges. 1t was his
hope that the investigation would
be completed before this morning.
Andrews has not confessed to the
Crime. He is being held on a fugi-
tive from justice. charge, and bond
has been set at $4,000.
Sheriff c. David Jones declar-
ed yesterday that, although the
girl has not identified the accused
m an, he is sure he is the man
who committed the crime. He quot
ed the attacked girl as saying that
she could not identify him because
he approached her from the back,
but that she might be able to iden-
tify his voice
The prisoner is wanted in both
Sumter and Florence for previous
90 ~ a"c"*''d n" to Sheriff Jones.
He repeatedly escaped from a
Sumter county chain gang after
serving part of two and one
half year sentence for house-break-
ing and larceny. ....r

Roosevelt, Churchill
May Meet This Month
Continued from Page One)

and materials did the two leaders
spread them out before Stain.
This time it is different. In the
far eastern war it will be h e
American and British forces, back
ed by combined air and naval
forces Of unquestioned superiority,
which will have the initial task of
softening up the enemy. In h e
European war the Red Army had
this job.
Furthermore, because Russia
may need time to gather strength
after her tremendous and lon 6
struggle in the west, it is likely
that Stain will bide his time De-
fore throwing in his chips with the
Allies in the far eastern war, es-
pecially since Japan has posted
some of her best troops near The
Soviet Unions eastern border. :
But because the potential stake
in the east is so high and because
he hopes to have an important
voice in that area of the world, it
is equally probable that Stain at
the opportune moment will SEND
his forces against Japan.
These factors, and the question
Of when to try to convince Stain
that the opportune moment has ar
rived, will be considered by Roose-
welt and Churchill along with such
problems as where to concentrate
the attack, the proportionate num-
Der of American and British forces
and vast supply problems.
Much of the spadework already
has been done. The swift progress
of the Allied armies toward Ger
many and the approach of the pres
idential election in t h United
States play a part in the specula-
ton on the time and the place of
the meeting. From the election
angle approach it is argued that
President Roosevelt would want to
get the subject settled this month
so that he can devote October to
any Ilnal demands Tor campaign
ing which might arise.
Similarly, he could meet Church
ill in Quebec and still be in touch
with Washington affairs and cam
paign developments.
Use of the Canadian city for the
conference would have last years
precedent as a. possible answer to
any opposition argument that he
was using the occasion for indirect
campaigning.
The progress of the war is in
volved through the general belief
that both Roosevelt and Churchill
would like to get the Pacific strate-
gy fixed and available for discus
sion with Stain.

Battle OF Germany

defended it-a statement to which
he added that the German army
could never recover from it s.
wounds Of the past three months.
Gen. Eisenhower protested that
he could not even remember the
name Of that German line-"Or
whatever they call it, In those
words he dismissed the Nazis'
Wanted Siegfried fort chain.
How the Maginot line, really the
mightier defense system of the two,
would figure in the next phase of
the fight was not Immediately
clear for two reasons.
First, the Americans at Sedan al
ready were skirting- its northern
flank into the Ardehnes invasion
route through Belgium and Luxem-
bourg.
Second, even if the Maginot line
is smashed in a head on assault
from the positions at Verdun and
near Nancy, it is not yet known
how successful the Germans were
in reversing the Maginot guns to
point westward instead OF eastward
instead of eastward as they were
built.
It has long been the contention
of many Allied officers that t h e
Siegfried line, like, every bogeyman
German fort chain from the At
lantic wall to the Marine and the
Somme, looms bigger on paper than
in fact.
They put it simply this way:
We've learned by now that Ger
many never intended to defend, but
to attack. Her defense system was
the Wehrmacht, Blitzkrief, Stukas
and PanZers."
In any case, the bee line to
Berlin is to the northeast, and the
Siegfried line reputedly is at it's
thinnest along the northern third.
In this section the Rhine itself
is well behind the. fort line and
probably is as formidable bar
rier as the fort system itself. But
from General Eisenhower on down
to the common soldiers, who see
the road TO Berlin Is the only way
home, there is. plainly voiced
determination this time to carry
the war where it. never got before
into the homeland of the German
people, to smash out Naziism and
militarism. on it's own soil.

It all started when approximately
20 Messerschnitts jumped on Capt.
Kelley's plane during a raid over
Hamburg last June.
After enemy fire had almost shot
off the tail Of the Flying Fortress,
knocking out the oxygen lines, the
pilot had to take the plane down to
10000 feet and start for home.
But the enemy fighters kept on
coming. The crew of the damaged
plane managed to keep them. off
until they were over England, when
a 20-mm. shell exploded in the navi-
gators compartment, riddling the
navigator's map table and wounding
Capt. Kelley in the leg. Another
shell exploded in the waist of the
plane, killing the radio opeartor. So
the crew decided that that was a
good time to bail out.

He added that American flyers

Asked which was worse-enemy
