HEADWAY IN
CHINA DRIVE
New Offensive Under Way
for Provincial Capital
Of Changshd

CHUNGKING, May 31.-Throw-
ing in fresh achievements in their
drive toward Changsha, the Japs
made Roadway against Chinese
troops battling to hold off the in
vaders from the thrice ravager pro-
vincial capital, field dispatches re-
ported. The communique said that
a column is protecting the left
flank of the main body which is
moving down the trackless stretch
of the Canton Hankow Railway and
is reported to have advanced IL
miles south of Tungcheng.
In Hupeh Province the Japs yes
terday captured Kuingan which
served as one of the bases for their
drive on Changteh last year, but
the invaders failed in new attempts
to push westward across the
Sungtze River, a tributary of the
Yangtze.
The Jap offensives in Honan and
Human Provinces and others which
may develop soon elsewhere have
as their aim the dividing of China
into eastern and western halves, P.
H. Chang, counsellor of the execu-
tive council said at a press confer
ence.
Situation Grave
Emphasizing that the situation is
indeed grave" Chang said the Jap
offensives seek to control complete
ly the trunk line from Hankow to
Canton, and occupy or destroy the
newly built air bases to forestall
any future American incursion
along Chtna's southern coast.
A communique from General Still
wells headquarters said the 18th
Air Force fighters attacked enemy
concentrations yesterday in all of
China's battle areas.

Allies Make Advances in
Face Of Intense Ger
man Resistance

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NAPLES, May 81. - British troops
have advanced to point just south
of coastal Pescaralle Nuova, IA
miles south OF Rome, and the Ger
man radio says dramatic street
fighting is in progress inside Velle-
tri on the Alban Hills road, the
junction city 10 miles from Rome.
Along the meandering rs mile
front from Valmontone to the
Atina region north of Casino, the
Eighth Army has advanced swiftly
against the withdrawing German
rear guards. taking half a dozen
or more towns, but in the critical
area of the Rome line, generally
l6 to 20 miles south of the Capital,
the enemy defenses are stubbornly
fighting along the rs mile battle
zone stretching from valmontone,
around the southern slopes of the
Alban Hills to Campo Iemini on
the sea-
At some points west Of velletri,
the Allies are within six miles of
the Pope's summer home at Castel
Gondolfo.
The Germans have massed infan-
try, guns, tanks and flamethrowers
and scattered mines In profusion
in a do or die attempt to check
the Allied break through Of their
long established steel and stone for
tifications.
The din of the approaching battle
grew louder as the Fifth Army at
tackled without pause the Provincial
Capital Frosinone on the Casilina
road 43 miles southeast of Rome.
The line Of the Germans is totter-
ing as the Allies moved up four
miles.
The Berlin radio said German
trops have taken positions north
of Frosinone, city of 10000, and
the increased fire shows the in
tent OF the Germans is to hold off
the Allies until the bulk Of their
troops can be extricated from diff
cult positions IN the mountains be-
tween Frosinone and Valmontone.

The W ashington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
ct. Col Robert s. Allen now on active
service Nth the Army

WASHINGTON other day,
this column carried story involv-
ing Charles E. Wilson, executive
vice-chairman of the War Pro-
duction Board and fine public
servant-a story which I now find
has done him an injustice.
The story was that, over a year
ago, during the heat of the War
Production Board row between the
Wilson Nelson forces and the Army
-Everstadt forces, Wilson pro-
badly by accident had picked up,
with new long distance listening
device, a conversation in which
Bernie Baruch, Undersecretary OF
War Patterson, Undersecretary Of
the Navy Forrestal and others were
critical, of the WPB and of the
President.
Chief point and occasion for the
story was that the President was
a forgiving person and had appoint
ed Forrestal Secretary of the Navy
despite the fact that he knew about
this critical conversation. This
main point, however, seems to have
been obscured in all the specula-
ton as to whether private CONVEX
sations can be safe in the future
So further elucidation is in order
First, however, the main point
want to make here is that I now
find Mr.. Wilson did not use any
long-distance listening device OF
any other device to listen in on the
above conversation. This columnis'
has often paid tribute to Mr.. Will
son and is delighted to take this
opportunity to do SO again, and te
say that, if any false impressions
were given, it is deeply regretted
Mr.. Wilson had absolutely nothing
to do with the incident.
He informs me that his former
company, General Electric, has MOI
developed any long distance cleo.
tronic listening device. Neverthe.
less, other people have, so it look:
as if the privacy of the nation
might not be too sacrasanct in the
future.
One phase of the idea was first
developed in Hollywood when movie
companies wanted to take long.
distance angle shot and did moi
want the microphone to appear ir
the picture So they used direc-
tional beam microphone which Car
pick up conversations short dis
lance away.
The radio companies developed
the idea further for baseball games

BIG FOUR TO
CONFER HERE,
PEACE PLANS
u. 5. 10 Put Forth Plan for
International Post
war Security

WASHINGTON, May 81. = The
United States is prepared to put
forth at the forthcoming Big Four
meeting here a plan for an inter-
national security organization pat
termed after the Legaue of Nations
and providing a consultative for
mula for the use of force to sup
press war.
BY this formula each nation will
retain final authority over its own
troops, planes and ships and as
sign no direct power over them to
an international agency. The agen-
cy, after consultations among its
members could recommend but not
order a member nation to use its
troops for international police duty.
The only binding commitment on
this vital point is to be one which,
in effect, was already made by the
four point declaration at Moscow
that no participating country will
use its forces on foreign territory
except in accordance with decisions
of the international agency to
maintain peace.
Five Point Program
The program, covering five main
points, will go before the represen-
tatives of Russia, Britain and China
here this summer at the start OF
the informal discussion to which
those governments were invited yes
terday by Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull.
The conferees will probably be
the higher Foreign Secretaries OF
the four powers, Eden, Molotov, T.
". Soong, and Hull or the Under
secretaries.
President Roosevelt discussed the
American proposal briefly at his
news conference yesterday, and
called it the first draft on the sub
ject. 1t fits in, he said, with. the
American aim to work with the
rest Of the world without in any
way detracting from U. S. indie
pendence.
The president also made plain in
the course of the talks here the
three powers may be modified OF
merged into a single conference
plan, if it can be agreed upon, in
order to provide a satisfactory basis
for further international action to-
ward the creation of a league.
The intention of the White House
is not to make the plan public until
after the Big -Four meeting.
