Seventh Army TrdmpIes Reich Soil Four Months
 After Riviera Landing

PARIS, Dec. 15-The U. s. Sev- enth Army invaded Germany today, driving across the northeast tip of Alsace into old Bavarian Palati- nate, less than seven miles from Karlsruhe and 35 miles from Mannheim and Ludwigshafen, all great industrial cities of the Rhine- land.
 The Seventh is the fourth Ameri- can Army to trample German soil It crossed the frontier exactly four months after wading ashore on the French Riviera, 425 airline miles south, but much farther as it wound through the mountains of southern and eastern France.
 Armies On Roer
 The First and Ninth Armies, the first to break into Germany, are drawn up along the Roer River, 15 miles beyond Aachen, where the Siegfried Line was first broken in September The bitter fighting ap- peared to be subsiding as the Third Army, which crashed industrial Saarland last month, is hacking it's way slowly forward in the first works of the Siegfried Line forti- fications on the Seventh Army's left.
 Six of Gen. Ike" Eisenhower's arsnies are now inside Germany. The British Second Army holds a bit of Reich soil around Geilen- kirchen, and the Canadian First Army is in the De Wyler Forest. six miles from Keye, on the nor thern end of the Siegfried Line. The Allied First Airborne and French First Armies have not yet entered Germany.
 Shock Troops Active
 For 75 airline miles from Stras- bourg south to Switzerland, Patch's Seventh Army shock troops crossed the frontier at 1:50 D. m A month earlier he broke strong German lines in the Vosges, east of Lune- vile, and drove from there 90 miles northeast to the point of invasion.
 Shell Siegfried Line
 The Siegfried Line is being shelled in perhaps the weakest points, the Germans said. American artillery is cratering Karlsruhe it. self, and American divisions have charged to within two miles of Widdembourg on the border of the natural invasion gateway to the Bavarian Palatinate, a key of flat German land between the Eifel Range and the Vienwald Forest. That French fortress town is 16 miles west of the Rhine.
 Advances ranged up to seven miles or more and dozen French towns fell.

THREE OF A KIND

I was wondering the other eve- ming what would happen if the son of John b Lewis were ap- pointed Assistant Secretary of State. Young John went to fine private school in Virginia and later to Princeton. He has an excellent educational background and stood at the top of his class. But I know what hue and cry would go up from the Senate and the country if he were given a key job in run ming our foreign relations.
 I wonder also what would hap pen if, in addition to young John L. Lewis, Jr., the son of Phil Murray, head of the CIO, plus the son of Matt Woll, vice president of the AFL, were appointed to high positions in the State Department. There would be more yelling in the Senate than at a hockey game at Miss Gill's School-and rightly so.
 Yet President Roosevelt has ap- pointed the grandson of John D. Rockefeller, Sr, plus the son of a J. P. Morgan partner, plus a rela- tive of J. P Morgan, to run that branch of the Government upon

BIG CONVOY MOVEMENT

NEW YORK, Dec 15--A Tokyo radio broadcast, recorded by the Federal Communication CoAsmis- sion, said powerful Allied convoy passed westward through Mindanao Strait into the Sulu Sea on Thursday as American carrier borne planes blasted Jap installa- tions and air fields on Luzon, Philippines.
 This enemy surface unit is nothing to make light of," Domei warned in the broadcast.
 There is no American confirma- tion of the Tokyo broadcast, but Admiral Nimitz announced U. s. carrier planes hammered Luzon air fields Wednesday and Thursday, destroying many planes in the air and on the ground.
 Domei, Japanese news agency, re- ports some 400 carrier planes made the Luzon raids.

 How can thy father get his public interested in what is hap pening behind closed doors in the White House if he is not even able to interest his own daughter? I am afraid my editors will reduce my salary. So for the sake of thy father, thee will really have to study current events.
 I wonder if thy teacher has been telling the class about the very important shake-up which is now taking place among the men who run our foreign affairs-the State Department. I wonder also if she is teaching the class about what is happening in Italy and Belgium and Greece, where the British are trying to tell the peoples of those countries what kind of governments they should have.
 These things are most important. For upon what we do today de- bends in large part whether thy future husband and thy future sons will have to go out and fight another war 20 years from now.
 We. have just reelected President Roosevelt for an epoch-making number of years-largely, I think, because a great many people felt he could build permanent peace. So he has great obligation to fulfill, and he has now put some new men in the State Department to conduct our foreign relations. These men, perhaps even more than President Roosevelt, are go- ing to shape the future peace of the world.

 BIGTHREE
 IS DELAYED
No Conference Between Roosevelt, Churchill and
 SfaIin Until Late in Jan.
By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL Copyright, 1944, Associated Press)

Copyright, 1944, Associated Press)
 WASHINGTON, Dec. l5-There will be no Roosevelt-Churchill- Stalin conference before the end of January despite reports to the contrary and that there are prob lens crying for adjustment.
 February will probably be the earliest the Big Three of the United Nations can assemble.
 This is the present judgment not only of the State Department and British spokesmen in Wash ington, but also of high-ranking officials who would have a hand in the advance arrangements.
 This contrasts sharply with the London talk of an imminent meet ing.
 Supporting the contention of no meeting soon, are these facts:
 The President is arranging his customary Christmas Eve broad cast to his countrymen, he must submit his annual budget measures to Congress the first week in Janu- ary and must be on hand January 20 for his fourth term inauguration.
 It is not unlikely another meet ing may be held between the Presi- dent and Churchill sometime be- tween these dates. Churchill spent the 1941 Christmas in this country and he could get here easily in time for another

DONClCs lCol bAiC llCN otA oNNStA0 VI world government die at its incep- tion.
 Churchill virtually abandoned the London Polish Government, at least as it is now constituted, and sup ported, as reasonable, the Russian demands for territory the old Polish Government in Exile refused to yield.
 Once, Churchill spoke of condi- tions If" the great powers agree. Again he mentioned how much a failure on the part of the three greatest powers to work together would damage all our hopes for the future world government" A quar- rel among these powers he declared, would fatally rupture this world organization.
 Poland Slapped
 He said Russia was entitled to certain territory east of old Poland as matter of reinsurance about her western frontiers. Poland, Churchill said, would be compensated in its sacrifice of the Lwow territory near tn Ukraine by tracts of East Prussia. Danzig would be wrested from Ger many.
 In one of the most significant House of Commons addresses of the war, a speech that drew from one member the comment that the At lantic Charter had become a ghost, Churchill also appealed to Roosevelt and Stalin to meet with him "at the earliest possible moment 1 Apparently distraight over diplo- matic developments raised by diff ferences among the United Nations he confessed disappointment. Tt was found impossible to arrange any meeting of the three great powers. v
 Gives Warning Churchill bluntly warned the largest battle to be tough in the war" will occupy the spring and summer. Churchill reported six or seven million Germans had already been killed.
 ! Churchill said President Roosevelt had been informed of the Russian British decisions on Poland but T find great difficulty in discussing these matters because the attitude of the United States has not been defined'' with precision. However he said, the President was aware of everything that passed" 1 Placing before Britain's lawmak- CTS what he called the bare bones of the Polish problem Churchill made these points: Two Issues CD The Poles have no alternative i but to meet Russia's demands for a western frontier along the Curzon 1 Line.

 Behind the lines in ChurchilPs speech apparently lay an agreement between Britain and Russia concern ing even more than Poland's prob lem.
 One of the first members to rise after Churchill concluded was Hen " Raikes, Conservative barrister who once served in the Royal Air Force, who sharply retorted, "the Atlantic Charter becomes ghost and that ghost was laid today"
