-Russia's refusal to partici-

early arrivals gathered here
Tuesday for the opening of
the International Civil Avia-
ton conference Wednesday.
Representatives of more than so
united, associated and neutral
countries will participate in the con-
vention to draft the aviation pact
OF the peace settlement of World
War II. The conference will begin
with welcoming address by Adolf
Berle, Jr., assistant secretary of
state and chairman of the Ameri-

temporary president.
A delegate of one European neu-

the absence of one of the big four
on whose cooperation rests the

Perhaps. But that wasn't what
worried the gals. Those panties had

Nature Note
Never, that is if you value your
life, ask Massey Horton why he hates

Take it from RR that he has a
perfectly good reason. You know

Breach Great
MijteIand Canal

LONDON, Oct. 81. CUP)-A picked
force of American heavy bombers,
in one of the greatest precision
omb ing attacks of the war,
preached the great Mitteland canal
in western Germany, cutting the
only east-West waterway in the
Reich, communique disclosed
Tuesday.
The big bombers struck the canal
last Thursday, smashing it at a
point where it crosses the Weser
river at Minden, 32 miles west
southwest cf Hanover.
Their bombs smashed an 85-foot
hole in the canal walls, sending
water pouring over the surround
ing countryside A three mile
stretch of land was flooded almost
Immediately, barges and tugboatS
were swept away, and l6 small craft
were stranded in the drained canal.
the communique said.
In addition to the main break in
the canal walls, the bCmbers weak
ened other sections of the waterway
which in the Minden sector was
banked up 90 feet above the ad-
joining land.
The canal stretches from Berlin
to the Ruhr valley and normally
moved a tremendous amount of war
traffic to the western front from
Germany's main industrial areas.
At its western terminus, the Nit
leland canal joins the Dcrtmund-
Ems canal which the RAF preached
on September 23.

Churchill Asks
Another Year
OF War Commons

LONDON, Oct. 81. CUP)-Prime
Minister Churchill told commons
Tuesday that it was impossible to
tell when the war against Germany
definitely would end or fall into
the guerilla stage.
II do not place any dependence
on a political uprising in Germany"
he said in moving for second read
ing of bill to prolong the life of
commons another year
On military grounds alone. he
the war would end before Easter.
Though he acknowledged that
many high military authorities
with every means of forming accu-
rate judgment have expressed them
selves more hopefully" Churchill
asserted:
Il certainly could not predict. still
less guarantee, the end of the Ger
man war before the en- dof spring
or even before we reach early sum-
mer. 1t may come earlier, and no
one will rejoice more than If 1t
should"
Churchill said he believed the
British political coalition should re-
main unbroken while ''Nazism Is un-
broken"
Churchill said 1t would be impru-
dent to assume on military grounds
that Japan can be defeated within
18 months after the fall of Ger
many.
