QUEBEC ASKS
 FULFILLMENT
 OF PLEDGES
Order in Council Requests Government 10 Go
 Against Draft

OTTAWA, Dec. 1--Canada's con- scription crisis cooled off today as discipline was declared restored among the rebellious draftee troops on the West Coast.
 An appeal went out to the people of Quebec to be calm from one of their foremost anti-conscription- ist leaders in Quebec. However, it was announced last night that the Provincial Government had adopted an order-in n-council asking that the Federal Government respect and fulfill it's solemn engagements and sacred pledges against conscription for overseas service"
 The anti-conscriptionist view of the French-speaking minority in Canada was laid before Parliament last night by P. J. A. Cardin, former Works and Transport Min ister, who resigned in 1942 over the conscription issue.
 Tn face of sporadic disorders in Quebec he appealed to his people to avoid damaging property and lives.

GREAT WAvES0F ALLIED BOMBER5
 POUNDING REICH

LONDON, Dec. 1-Great waves of RAF bombers raided Germany during the night thus establishing a record breaking Allied air of fensive.
 Yesterday brought the United States Air Force its worst loss of heavy bombers since April Fifty six four-engined craft were downed by ack-ack. Thirty United States fighters also failed to return to their British bases after all-day pulverizing attacks by 5000 planes on the synthetic oil plants in the Leipzig area and the railroads in the Saarbrucken sector.
 Tactical air forces supporting ground troops, lost three medium bombers and one fighter last night. More than 800 Halifaxes and Lan- casters dropped 5000 tons of fire and explosive bombs on the Rhine and Rhur city of Duisburg. Two ton blockbusters were dropped on Hamburg. Four raiders were lost
 Not since 63 United States bomb- CTS went down over Berlin in April have the Allied planes encountered such concentrated fire as they did yesterday, particularly in a 4Q-mile- square area near Leipzig.
 Tempering the heavy losses re- ported was the belief that most of the fighter pilots grounded in friendly territory.
 The United States Fifteenth Air Force heavy bombers in Italy are apparently striking at Germany as wintry weather halted the two-way offensive of British-based United States Eighth Air Force and RAF planes.
 Berlin broadcasts today warned Germans there were raiders over Bavaria. Losses of the Eighth Air Force yesterday proved to be con- siderably less than originally an- nounced. Of the 56 bombers and 30 fighters missing in first accounts, 16 bombers and IT fighters, said to be missing, were reported safe, leaving 40 bombers and 13 fighters still unaccounted for.

SEVEN KILLED IN
 BIG PLANE CRASH

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1-Seven persons were killed and 18 injured today when Transcontinental Western Airlines passenger plane enroute from San Francisco, crashed in heavy fog as it was nearing it's destination at Burbank. The plane carried 20 passengers and three crew members.
 City Manager Walter Cooper of San Diego was among the dead, and Mayor Harley Kno of the same city was severely injured. The pilot and co-pilot were killed.
 Some of the injured passengers told reporters that the plane lost altitude and began to jerk, then crashed after scraping along the treetops.
 The planes hostess, Donna Marr, was taken to the hospital with a leg fracture and other injuries.
 Lee Flanagin, Acting VIVA Op- erations Manager at Burbank, said it was impossible to say immedi- ately what the cause of the acci- dent was.

REDS WITHIN 100
 MILES, AUSTRIA;
 RAILWAY IS CUT

MOSCOW, Dec. 1.-Enveloping 50 more communities in their new drive west of the Danube in southwestern Hungary, Russian troops moved north to within 78 miles of out flanked Budapest, less than 100 miles from the Austrian border, Moscow announced today.
 A nine-mile advance north along the west bank of the Danube was made yesterday northeast of Buda- pest, while other Red Army troops seized Eger and Szikszo which guard invasion routes into central Slo- vakia.
 Russian troops also cut the rail- way between Miskolc, Hungary's fifth city, and Koice, an eastern Slovakian communication hub now threatened by Petrov's forces which are flaming out from captured Ungvar.

PARIS, Dec. 1-Three American Armies beat out hard-won gains across the churned battlefields and drew up solid assault lines along both the Roer and Saar, two of the most important barriers to the Rhine.
 Gen. Simpsons Ninth Army cap- tured Welz, one mile south of Linnich, and drew close in an arc around that town on the road to the Rhineland city of Munchen Gladbach, as virtually the entire army closed up the Roer and its tributary, the Inde, on a front of some IS to 20 miles.
 Patrols stabbed across the flood swollen Inde, as Gen. Pattons Third Army pressed against the west bank of the -Siegfried Line almost solidly along front of 12 to Is miles. Patton's tanks plunged forward a half mile and reached the Saar bend opposite Merzig after clearing Hilbringen and Batterm.
 Germans Resist Desperately
 As December came over the grim battlefields, the Germans are pour ing their final strength into des- perate struggle for winter line west of the Rhine, losing 5000 men a day in prisoners alone. Tn dead and disabled, Hitler is sacrificing more than that.
 French troops took possession of Huningue, on the west side of the Rhine, without resistance after a heavy artillery attack on the Ger man garrison. About 1000 men who held pillboxes during the ar- tillery duel of the past several days crossed to the east side of the Rhine under cover of fog.
 At Cannon's Mouth
 The Third Army has drawn up close to Merzig on the northwest, west and southwest and is looking into the mouths of the Siegfried cannon.
 The Siegfried Line here, with it's forts, hundreds of pillboxes and miles Of tank traps, comes down to the river. Beyond is the Huns ruck range, running northeast be- tween the Moselle and Nahe Val leys toward the Rhine and Main cities of Wiesbaden, Mainz and Frankfurt.
 The Allied campaign has yet to reach the climax of fury, but is shaping bit by bit into three great wedges, each forcing the Germans to throw in thinning reserves to block the roads to Berlin.

By JIM HUTCHINSON "A. P. War Corresp0ndent)


 GEN. DOUGLAS MacARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS IN THE PHIL IPPINES, Dec. Five thousand Japanese soldiers were killed or drowned bringing the total to over 26,000 who tried and never got to Leyte-as American planes for the second straight day accounted for an Ormoc- bound enemy convoy Tuesday.
 Although the convoy was eau tiously scattered over a wide area, Tank fighters tracked down all of it, sinking 9,000-ton transport and three small freighters, engulf- ing a 5,0O0-ton freighter and leav- ing several destroyers in flames.
 This is in contrast to Wednes- days erasure of a 13-ship convoy, two of which got endorsements to Ormoc. This one didn't even get close to the port.
 One freighter was bagged far west of Mindor by night patrol plane, and the others, including the heavily I o d ed transport, were blasted off Kasabate and off Cebu by the Tanks.
 The enemy's reinforcement losses by attacks on their seven conveys has been raised to 29 transports, aggregating 103;750 tons, and Is escortiNg war vessels sunk

4C CREWMEN
 NORTH SEA
 ARRESTED
Alleged 10 Have Stolen Four Cases of Whiskey
 from Cargo for Sifkd

SEATTLE, Dec. 1--Leland V, Boardman, Special Agent in charge of the Seattle Office of the FBI, announced today that four seamen, members of the crew of the vessel North Sea, have been taken into custody here on the basis of a Federal Grand Jury indictment returned against them in the United States District Court at Ketchikan, Alaska.
 The quartette is charged with theft of whiskey from an inter- state shipment enroute from Seattle to Alaska. The whiskey was part of the cargo of the North Sea, on which the four men were crew members.
 Upon arrival in Sitka, Alaska, May 12, 1914, four cases of whiskey were found to be missing from the ships cargo, some of which was later found in possession of mem- bers of the crew.
 In the subsequent investigation it developed that the four crew members indicted were either in- volved in the actual theft of the liquor or were engaged in the pur- chase and sale of whiskey, knowing it to be pilfered cargo.
 Those indicted are Sidney Bal com, Robert Swenson, Peter Pliver and Herbert Thomas.

 AIR pROp0SALS

CHICAGO, Dec. British op- position and attacks on the Ameri- can plan for five sky freedoms for worldwide air record left the United States with its pro- posal in a bundle quite separate from other achievements of the International Civil Aviation Con- ference.
 The result represented something of victory for the United King dom which would prefer that the freedoms not be presented in, any set form, and, to some degree, a setback for the United States which had hoped to give the ideals prestige of attachment at the forthcoming convention.
 This convention will include an air navigation agreement including technical standards, procedures and set rules for air transport opera tions. An international organiza- tion will administer the convention.

The w ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Lt Col. Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON = Inside fact is that Harry Hopkins had great deal to do with the postponement of Roosevelt's proposed Big-Three conference with Churchill and Stalin, though military advisers also heartily concurred and urged postponement.
 One reason was that Stalin wouldn't budge out of Russia, didn't want to come even to Te- heran or some other non- Russian, neutral spot. He said he was busy fighting the war and couldn't spare the time. This excuse was under standable when Russia had Nazi Armies on her soil. But now the Red Army is largely on enemy soil and the tables are reversed.
 While the President in the past has been glad to go to Teheran, and has proposed meetings in AL aska, Eastern Siberia adjoining Alaska, or any other reasonable place, he did not feel that he should trek half around the world a second time, especially when he had some pressing problems of his own at home, among them new Congress and a Cabinet reorganiza- tion.
