At prominent Detroit hospi-

'Sky-Hero Meets Son
for the First Time

CENTER LINE - Back from
the land where robot bombs are
making days and nights hide
Gus for the nations allies has
come tall friendly lst Lieut.. Ed
win G.. Moran. bombardier with
the eighth Bomber Command in
England.
Having completed his requir-
ed missions he is now visiting
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Moran, 1886 Edward. and his
wife Mrs. Maureen Moran VINO
lives with theirSnine months old
son, Jimmy, in Detroit. This is
the first time Lieut.. Moran has
ever seen his son and as tiny
plump fingers reach for the
bright ribbons denoting service
ir the Asiatic and European war
theatres he holds him bit near
er and forgets for a moment
those tense moments when, as
bombardier in the lead" ship
of a squadron, he and other
members of the crew would
swing into action and blast at
targets of important rail centers
and munitions plants over en-
envy territories.
DEADLY ASSIGNMENT
Lieut.. Moran relates some of
his experiences and tells of one
time when the bomb-bay doors
stuck as they tried to unload.
While flying at high altitude it
was his job to pry them open.
The task took an hour and thirty
four minutes and, while he hung
there working with sure fingers,
German fighter planes kept his
buddies busy as they spurted
deadly missiles at his ship.
Another time when returning
from a mission over Poland four
American bombers were attack
ed and separated by 35 German
fighters. That was the time when
four American planes came TO
their aid and brought them
safely in.
zig BULLET HOLES
Then there was the flight
when his plane had its hydrau-
lie system shot out and, like a
huge crippled bird, tried to
make a landing but bellied out
in a cornfield with two hundred
and twelve bullet holes in its
fuselage and wings.
He tells also of the badly
blasted German towns and prin-
cipai cities, now in ruins and
shambles, the price of the war
they asked for, and adds with a
smile the little story of German
ego as displayed when h ques-
toned a prisoner being returned
on the same boat to this coun-
try.
The prisoner remarked how
foolish the Americans were TO
attempt a crossing as "the Fueh-
rer wouldn't allow the boat to
get far out of the harbor," then
when not many moons later the
uneventful and peaceful cross
ing was climaxed by view of

Foreign Plan Work Halted
BY R. H. SHACKFORD lIInited Press Staff COrrespOndentl

l United Press Statf COrreSpOnuent)
 Washington, Deo 14.-(UP)- Work on major foreign policy prob lems and further reorganization of the State Department were at a virtual standstill today, awaiting Senate approval of the six men chosen by Secretary of State Ed ward R. Stettinius, Jr., as his new aides.
 The prolonged debate on Capi- tol Hill over the new nominees has halted practically everything but routine departmental work. Mean while, an imposing list of foreign policy problems is piling up for the department to tackle as soon as the senate gives the new high command 1 a go-ahead. These concern:
 Spain-The appointment of a new l U. s. Ambassador, Norman Armour to replace Carlton J. H. Hayes, does not necessarily mean a change in policy toward Spain. But there are rumorS that Spain may present the next major diplomatic problem for the United Nations Unconfirmed reports say Generalissimo Francisco Franco may resign as head of the government.
 Poland-The new Polish govern ment in exile may be headed toward collapse. Some Polish experts here believe that may be followed by att tempts to get StanislaW Micko- lajczyk back as premier. The new government has made no headway | in reaching an agreement with Russia which may recognize the Lublin Poles as 8 provisional gov- ernment.
 Italy-The new Bonomi govern ment is now functioning, but it re- mains to be seen how long it can hold together without the support of Count Carlo Sforza, who is per- soma non grata with the British. France Relations with France appear to be working out better for the time being than those with any other European nation. But oft1- cials still anxiously await the text of the recently signed Russo-French alliance for any indication of it's efefct upon efforts to supercede balance of power tactics with world organization.
 In addition the new leaders of the State Department face some tough tasks of a more general nature. | There appears to have been little, if any, progress on the uncompleted sections of the Dumbarton Oaks world organization plans since the summer conferences ended. There had been hopes for full United Nations conference on that subject this month. But prospects now are that it will be late spring or early summer.
 There is also the standing problem of relations with Argentina, questions of postwar foreign trade, lend-lease after the European war, credits to foreign countries and the possible repeal of the Johnson Act, prohibiting private loans to foreign governments in default to the United States.
 As soon as the new congress con- veneS, State Department officials also vii lbe concerned with several treaties that will be up for approval in the Senate - probably a re- vised Anglo-American oil agreement, the proposal for U. s. participation in the United Nations Food and Agri- cultural Commission, the stabiliza- ton fund and world bank proposals of last summers Breton Woods conference, and eventually the world security organization plans.

miles northeast of SarreguemineS and just inside the German border, but only after the Germans had knocked out an American bridge across the Blies.
 The 90th division repulsed two other counter attacks against the Dillingen bridgehead two and half miles northwest of Saarlautern, one of them by 40 Germans who charg- ed standing up with rifles held smartly at port arms and were promptly cut down by artillery.
 The 358th and 359th regiments oi the 90th division were revealed to have linked their two bridgeheads at Dillingen, capturing two pillbox- es containing 35 Germans.
 On the approaches to the Pala- tinate gateway to Germany west of Karlsruhe, It. Gen. Alexander M Patch's Seventh Army advanced two and a half miles through the old Maginot line defenses against little if any resistance. The ad- vance carried to within two miles of the German border at 8 point about eight miles west of Wissena- bourg.
 To the west, Seventh Army units captured Kappellenhoff, four miles north of the important road junc- tion of Bitche, and Reyersviller, a mile and a half southwest.
 Drive Ahead
 Two other columns clearing out the eastern tip of France north of the Hagenau Forest drove to with in seven miles of a junction that would encircle the forest and an unknown number of Germans Soultz, road center and city of 5000 nine miles north of Hagenau: was captured.
 Only scanty details were available regarding the German counter-at- tack against Selestat, 25 miles southwest of Strasbourg, but they were known to have been repulsed by American units fighting with the French First Army after infiltrat- ing the Allied lines for consider able distance.

 ''The one solution" testified presi- dent H. A. Kent of Lorillard, lis in- creased production"
 The other cigaret makers agreed and added that if they had more help, more machinery and more to- bacco, they'd make more cigarets, too. AS 1t is now they're Stymied Then they took out fresh cigarets and lit up. None of 'em offered me one. All got was dirty looks.
 I glared back and kept on smok- ing my pipe. A. H. Kilodny, execu- tive Secretary of the National As- sociation of tobacco distributors, lit a black cigar, Sen. Joseph H. Ball fired up another cigaret, and Paul Hahn, vice-president of the Amer ican Tobacco Co.,, said his firm was making 287 per cent more cigarets than it did in 1885.
 Are those that never smoked be- fore smoking now because cigarets are hard to get?" Asked Sen. Homer Ferguson of Michigan.
 Hahn said he believed that was correct. Only good news came from Col. Fred c. Foy, who said soldiers overseas were getting all the smokes they wanted, except when foreign transport broke down.
 He said there had been some hi- lacking in France, but that the army had made the sale of cigaretS to civilians a court-martial offense. He brought along some sample packages of army cigaret rations for the com- mittee to inspect. Senators Mead and Ferguson don't smoke, so l didn't have to watch them.
 I kept a close eye on Sen. Ball, however, when he had his mitts on those cigaretS. Tn gre was longing expression on his face, but I am happy to report that he didn't swipe single package. He gave 'em all back to Col. Foy.
 The hearing ended and the pretty secretary, the one in the white blouse, put down her cigaret and opened a window.
 About time, too.

 British forces yesterday repelled an ELIAS attack against the Liki- vottos military barracks in what may prove to have been the decisive fight of the struggle.
 Later on, a Greek brigade took the offensive and pushed back the ELIAS units still farther. Greek gov- ernment forces last night occupied a maternity hospital from which the ELIAS men withdrew without a fight.

(Continued from Page D were expected to ask British guar antees that their party would not be penalized for its part in the civil war and assurance that new Ma tional government could be formed under a leader other than Premier George Papandreou.
 Conference
 Gen. Nicholas PlaStiras, a veteran Greek statesman who flew to Athens from Nico to help effect com promise, conferred with Papandreou yesterday and it was reported that he would be given the post of war minister in the proposed new gov ernment.
 Liberal leader Themistocles Sop- houlis was suggested as likely can didate to succeed Papandreou.
 A broadcast over the Athens radio which the leftists were reported to have captured from the British gave a different version of the peace negotiations, however the broadcast intimated that the ELIAS forces might stand by their original intention of retaining their arms until the Papandreou government has been busted.
 The ElaS broadcast demanded an immediate end to tft British armed intervention, establishment of a really Democrati-" government punishment of traitors and those responsible for the Civil War;" and a Greek directed purge of Nazi col laborators.
 Only One Solution
 This is the only solution, na- tional solution and practical solu- tion," it added.
 Earlier the same clandestine sta- ton delivered 8 virulent attack on the British, accusing Scobie of try ing to make Greece a British pro- tectorate. It charged the Britons with "barbarities' worse than those committed by the Germans and ItalionS, and of permitting Germans to remain in the Dodecanese Islands while going to Athens themselves to help Papandreou's Fascist" govern ment.
 Roper's dispatch quoted observers in the British-held section of At- hens as asserting that the Elas troops were being advised and aided by German army officers, some of them possibly rushed there by the Nazis after the Civil War began.
 The final hours of the fighting yesterday were among the bloodiest of the 1O-day-old outbreak. Between 500 and 600 Elas troops broke into the compound of British-held bar racks near Likiyittos and almost slIc- ceeded in overwhelming the garris- ons for what would have been their

The LCT (R's) can carry three types of rockets - principally the high explosive type, a rocket filled with incendiary compound for de- ternining the accuracy of range and smoke rocket used for screen ing troops. All are fired by electri- city.
 The ships have proved their worth in neutralizing hostile shores for landing of troops. Each salvo is fired so that it overlaps the previous one. Crashing into shore, they elim- mate virtually all secondary forti- hcations including mines, wire, machine gun nests, shallow pill boxes and will stun men temporarily in larger certifications.
 Fighter and torpedo planes of the NaVy's fast carrier task forces have used rockets with overwhelming success. Hitting with a force of a field artillery shell, aircraft rockets can be flown hundreds of miles, pin pointed on target and launched with devastating effect.
 Rear Admiral George F. Hussey, IT., chief of the Bureau of Ordnance said the reason for the drastic in- crease in rocket output was the

 Simultaneously, his northern wing drove three miles down the river side to capture Kisalag, six miles north of Budapest, outflanging the Nazi hill positions. The con- munique also revealed that the Soviets recaptured the river town of God, four miles northwest o1 Kisalag, after losing it briefly in g German counter attack.
 Soviet front dispatches also re. ported violent fighting on 16-milt front southwest of Budapest from Erd to Lake Valencie where the Russians were trying to cut across the Budapest-Vienna railway corr1- dor and close off further escape ol reinforcement to the eenemy garri- son. The focal point of the battle was in the Martonvasar area l; miles southwest of Budapest.
 Great air battles swirled over the city and it's environs, and Stock holm dispatches said fires that hac gone beyond control were guttine the center of the capital, stoked by Russian bombs and shells and Nag demolitions.

Continued from Page D asked if Churchill were aware that he-Kirkwood was inundated with telegrams from mechanics threatening sit-down strikes over the governments policy in Greece.
 Churchill observed that he could quite believe Kirkwood had received many messages regarding the mat ter which causes so much heart searching but added that he had nothing to add to his previous state mentS.
 We have laid our case very fully before the house." he said, refer ring to his speech on the subject last Friday.
 T gave a long account of this matter to the House the other day, and I may take occasion to give some further account to the coun- try" Churchill said.
 He insisted, however, that he had nothing to add at present to his last statement.
 Replying to question as to whether the Dominions had been consulted fully on government deci- sion to use British troops in sup port of the Papandreou regime in Greece, Churchill said such close consultation had been physically impossible.
 He told the House, however, that all the Dominions had been kept in close touch with day-to-day de- velopments in Greece.
 He revealed that the British lib- eration forces suffered 300 casual ties in Greece from the time o1 their landing until the end of Nov. ember
 Laborite Seymour Cocks inter- rupted the Prime Minister at one point to ask "how long this gov- ernment intends to go on with this policy of murdering our Greek com- rades?"
 There was an outburSt of pro- tests from the government benches, but Cocks kept shouting for a reply. Churchill ignored the interruption.
 The prime minister also brushed aside 8 question about the govern ment's attitude toward Count Carlo Sforza, asserting that discussion of Italy's internal policies should be deferred until that country haS been liberated.
