POSTWAR FLYING DISCUSSED BY Z
 COUNTRIES NOW

CHICAGO, Nov 24 American and British delegations to the In- ternational Civil Aviation Confer ence published separate drafts of disputed points in their joint pro- posal for a world air transport regulation, thus bringing into the open the results of the private ne- gotiatiohs.
 The drafts supported week-old information that the two great powers are together in principle but encountered difficulty, primar- fly, in working out details of op- eration and economic questions.
 Both proposals contained the fifth" freedom, originally de- manded by the United States, as an addition to the -four freedoms" which were set forth by Canada, which for nine days participated as one of the "big three' in pri- vate efforts to adjust their differ ences.
 The fifth freedom is the right of any nations airlines to pick up, traffic destined for the territory of any other member state and to discharge traffic coming from any other member state.
 The other freedoms are the privilege of flying across a country without landing, or of landing for non-commercial purposes, or of landing traffic picked up in the home state of the airline, or of picking up traffic destined for the home state.

 Party Is Crumbling
 Kings Liberal Party is crumbling under the impact of the conscrip- tion issue. Half of the 60-odd Lib- eral members from Quebec are planning to withdraw their SUD- port from the government. One cabinet member from Quebec, En- glish-speaking Air Minister Power, has already resigned. King said last night he is seeking to avoid an election at this time but it ap- peared that events were moving too swiftly for him to be able to dictate the course of the govern ments new policy that provides Is ,OOO men may be sent overseas from the drafted home defense army.
 How Crisis Started
 The crisis was started earlier in the week when Gen. McNaughton, Defense Minister, asked full in- vestigation of the Vancouver press conference, in which officers of the Canadian Armys Sixth Division expressed doubt as to the feasibility of Canadas system of voluntary overseas service for draftees
 The development came as the Canadian Parliament met last Tuesday to hear the Governments explanation of the circumstances surrounding the resignation on Mo- yemher 2 of Defense Minister Ralr ston, who made protest against the Governments conscription n policy McNaughton, a former commander in the Canadian Army, was named to succeed Ralston.
 McNaughton sent letter to Pa cific Coast Army Commanders, ask ing about the interviews which oc- cured four days ago. He was rep resented as holding the view that the press interviews by officers on matters of policy were breach of military discipline and, as such, were subject to court martial.
 Sixth Division officers were quoted as saying they didn't be- lieve overseas troops can be rein- forced adequately through any volunteer plan. It is said there are thousands of Canadians now in uniform who are not going over seas because they enlisted only for home service.
 The Canadian Government, for the past five years, has only taken soldiers for overseas duties who volunteered, but the need now is for more men to reinforce the fighting men in Europe.
 It is said the French-Canadians are the worst objectors, as they see no reason to fight in Europe, forgetting, however, that had the British not kept the Nazis from crossing the Atlantic, they would have had to fight to protect their homeland.

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

1 WASHINGTON = Those around ithe White House say that this time the President really means business when it comes to cleaning out his Cabinet. Of course, this word has been passed out so often that some intimates are keeping their fingers crossed.
 However, it is a fact that Roose- velt is now faced with some situa- sions he cannot escape, other situa- ticns which have made him sore. In the former category is Cordell Hull's health In the latter category is Jesse Jones. As a result, various names have been put in the White House Cabinet hopper and are being examined carefully. Here are some of the names which may feature in the new cabinet:
 SECRETARY OF COMMERCE. Mariner Eccles, now chairman Of the Federal Reserve Boardi or Leon Henderson; or Chester Bow lies, now OPA Administrator; or Beardsley Ruml, author of the Ruml tax plan and considered liberal big-business man.
 SECRETARY OF LABOR-Dan Tobin, head of the teamsters' union; or John Winant, now Am bassador to London and former head of the International Labor Office. Winant, however, would prefer to be Secretary of State. Tobin, if appointed, is about the only AFL leader who would be acceptable to the CIO.
 POSTMASTER G ERAL = Robert Hannegan. Frank Walker, now Postmaster General, believes that the Democratic national chair man should also be Post Master and, being a retiring person any way, Walker is ready to step out. SECRETARY OF AGRICUL- TURE-Roosevelt is hoping to per suade Henry Wallace to take this job again. If not, Wallace will be offered the Ambassadorship to Moscow, considered vitally import ant, or chairmanship of the inter- national food organization. Roose- welt feels that it would be diffi- cult politically to make Wallace Secretary of State because of op- position frm Hull and Senate art'onsi

LONDON, Nov. 24-French armor has cleaned out the whole fortress of Strasbourg, but the Germans asserted that surprise attempt to capture the bridge there across the Rhine has been frustrated.
 On the hottest corner of the western front, however, a violent German counter attack by six or seven divisions, half of them ar mored, threw the British Second Army out of Hoven on the muddy Cologne plain, three miles north east of captured Geilenkirchen. Flame throwers were used. Men under It. Gen. Dempsey stood firm on the high ground overlooking the Wurm Valley north of the levelled hamlet.
 Bloody Fighting
 Still farther north, the British absorbed all the German counter attacks and inched forward yard by yard, in bloody fighting.
 Thanking the British to the south the American Ninth and First Army offensives in the valley of the turbulent Roer River slowed to sticky crawl or were even checked entirely while the Germans threw wave upon wave of counter attacks at the Allied lines. The fighting centered at the approaches to Julich, highway town on the Roer, 25 miles from ruined Co., logne.

 The American Third Army be- yond Metz captured Oberluken and deepened it's -lorthern wedge in Germany in gains of from two to four miles yesterday. Pattons front edged slowly toward the Saar in- dustrial rail center of Saarbrucken, Is miles from the forward lines.
