ton feel it is proper and right for

THE end of the war with Ger
many will make possible large re-
ductions in some of our require
ments.. We expect our needs will be
met by a program at rate not
much more than half of what we
have been receiving in 1914. All of
these supplies and services will be
exclusively for the joint war effort

Mr.. Churchill reminded the House
that lease-lend was an act which
was for the defense of the United
States and is strictly limited to
what is necessary for the most ef-
fective prosecution of the war by
the United States and its Allies"
The prolongation of the war into

$14 ,000, 100000 is to be sold in &c"
bonds. In the District, the e"

Meanwhile, total sales to individ-
uals in the Nation rose yesterday to
$1,074, 100000. The quota for the

In answer to requests for clari-
f1cation of the difference between

vidual sales, drive leaders ex-
planned that the "E" bond is for
$1,000 or less-the bond that most
persons buy in direct purchase
or pay roll savings. However, in
dividuals-as distinct from cor
porations-may buy larger bonds,
in other series, ranging into many
thousands Of dollars. The figures

Hy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 30.-Russian
and Yugoslav Partisan forces to-
day thrust forward Is miles west
of the Danube in Southwestern
Hungary in a huge offensive
which has the three-fold possi-
bility of encircling Budapest,
driving straight into Austria and
of sealing off all Nazi troops In
the Balkans.
Premier Stain in an order of the
day yesterday announced the cap
ture of $50 communities in Southern
Hungary and Northern Yugoslavia,
confirming the drive about which
the German radio has spoken for
the last week.
PEGS, coal mining and railway
center SO miles southwest of Buda-
pest, was seized, as was Mohacs, a
like distance directly south OF the
Hungarian capital, and Bataszek, IS
miles south of Budapest, Moscow
said.
93-Mlle Break IhrOugn.
The broadcast Russian communi-
que said the drive across the Danube
by Marshal Feodor x. Tolbukhin's
sd Ukraine Army and Yugoslav ma
tionals was north of the big rivers
confluence with the Drava, point
100 miles due south of Budapest.
The break-through was on 93-
mile-Wide front that extended on its
northern flank to within 81 miles
of the Hungarian capital.
marshal Tito, in a broadcast
communique reported by the Fed
eral Communications Commis-
sion, announced a 3l-mile ad-
vance in the area and said Rus
sian and Partisan troops now
were pursuing the beaten Ger
mans toward the west" The bull
letin also listed many Partisan
victories inside Yugoslavia)
Moscow named no captured towns
north OF Bataszek, although the far
ther northward extent of the drive
had been implied in the announce
ment of the width of the bridge
head west of the Danube. Appar-
emily Red Army troops today stood
somewhere between the Danube and
the north end of Lake Balaton, 100
miles from the Austrian border and
130 miles from Budapest.
Nazis Admit Losses.
Meanwhile, Budapest was under
close siege from the northeast by
parts of Marshal Rodion Y. Malin-
ovsky's I'd Ukraine Army. The Mos
COW war bulletin did not mention
this sector. but the German radio
admitted further losses along the
front stretching IS miles northeast
from the capital.
Berlin said the Russians had brok-
en- into Eyer, so miles northeast OF
Budapest adjoining the vital Buda-
pest-Miskolc railway and guarding
a pass through the Matra Mountains
into Central Slovakia.
Another Soviet army. the 4th
Ukraine Army, led by Gen. Ivan
Petrov, continued to push its way
westward in Slovakia across rain
drenched terrain. Moscow said the
flank guards of the I'd and 4th
Urkaine Armies already have estab-
lished contact in the border area
north of Miskolc, while Gen. Petrov
was near to clearing the Dukla Pass
into Poland on his northern flank.

appeal from the decision of Norman
Littell whose refusal to discuss set
tlement was highly arbitrary and
unreasonable"
Denies Reason for Conference.
Mr.. Lttell said he informed the
Attorney General there were cer-
tain factors in the case he would
not discuss in the presence of op-
posing counsel, and that there was
no reason for conference until
the appraisals were done and the
Government knew its position.
When the two lawyers went out, he
continued, 'the Attorney General
explained that he would like to
settle this case in view of his past
ationships with opposing counsel" I"
At that time, according to Mr..
Littell's version, Mr.. Dempsey and
Mr.. Koplovitz were asking $780,
900 and were willing to cut that "in
the interest of being fair and rea-
sonable with the Government"
Eventually, the statement eX-
planned, valuation in excess of
$685. 900 was reached when the prop
erty appraisals were completed, but
this figure, Mr.. Littell agreed, was
too low.
However. he added, Il told the
Attorney General very plainly that
because of his connection with
Tommy Corcoran, a settlement by
him at anything above the Govern
ment's figures of $985,665 would
break wide open in a public scandal -
Sterling Products Case Recalled.
Mr.. Biddle conceded that 'it
would be another Sterling Products
case" the statement continued. This
reference was to another case on
which Mr. Corcoran was reported to
have sought assistance in the Justice
Department.
At the time of the case, Mr.. Lit
tells memorandum said, an investi-
CATION OF Empire Ordnance was be-
ing carried on by the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Three days before departing for
Savannah for the trial of this case, y
the memorandum continued, lit was
admitted by one of the counsel for
the SEC that the real reason why
they (the Sec had consistently
evaded providing full information to
the Department of Justice was that
they did, not trust the Department
of Justice because of Tommy Cor
coran's known intimacy with the At
ltorney General and Jim Rowe.
They felt that the information, II
given to the Department Of Justice
would pass right through to Tommy
Corcoran' As the information was
wanted for the subsequent indict-
ment of Frank Cohen and others
SEC wished to protect it. This fact
was admitted in the presence Of the
Attorney General by Ganson Purcell
(SEC chairman) a year later in the
Attorney Generals Office in connec-
ton with another matter
Mr.. Littell said he had indorsed
Mr.. Biddles promotion from Solici-
tor General to Attorney General
but later felt grave misgivings."

Bill
For Postwar Roads
Approved by House
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A 81, ,673, 90, 600 Federal program to
modernize the Nations highways
after the war had the approval of
the House today.
The bill. adopted by a voice vote
late yesterday, is similar to legisla-
ton passed by the Senate. but can
not 60 to the White House until the
two branches of Congress agree on
its specific terms.
Advocated as a combination plan
to develop highways and cushion
postwar unemployment, the House
bill authorizes the Federal Govern
ment to put up $500, ,000, 900 a year
for the next three years for road
improvements. The sums would
have to be matched dollar for dollar
by States which want to share in
the road building.
In addition to the Federal aid
program the measure authorizes
SITS. 100000 for park, forest and
Indian reservation roads for the
three years. Congressional appro-
priations must follow to make the
plan effective. q
BY a last-minute amendment, the
House struck from the proposal au-
thority for the development OF all
landing strips adjacent to highways
Opponents of the provision success
fully argued that all authority over
airports and landing strips should
be left with the Civil Aeronautics
Authority.
The House bill allots the $500 ,0O0,-
600 annual Federal road funds on
this basis: 1925 ,000, 900 for Federal
aid highways, $150,0O0,0O for i'm
provements and development of Sec
ondary, feeder and farm to- market
roads; $125 900 600 for Federal high
ways in city areas.

Concerning Mr. Roosevelt's action
in dismissing him after he had

tive practice of supporting the su-

Mr.. Littell told the reporters:
In leaving the Government, I am

Ne kSssss
For centuries poets have been
writing about flying. And now !.
ssCIx thousand Planes Rock Europe in Invasion
y Blowsr' The young flyers. the kids from next
door who make the wars headlines are heirs to cen
turies Of dreams, experiments and prophecies. Men
always wanted to fly - from the psamist sighing
for ''the wings of dove to the legendary Greek
engineer who devised a pair of wings and fastened
them with wax to the shoulders Of his son Icarus.
Centuries before the first human ascent in any
kind of air machine poets and prophets fosetold what
modern flying would be like They wrote too of what
it would do to the world - IN terms that sounded
fantastic then but are all too real now.
In 1910 the Italian scientist Francesca de Lam,
inventor of the earliest crude air machine balloon
borne boat - was the first to prophesy that flying
machines would be used in Here is his forecast:
sNO city would be proof against surprise, n
the ship could be brought to earth for the land
ing of its crew. And in the of ships that sail
the seas, they could be set on fire by 6reballs or
bombs. Not ships alone, but houses and cities
could be thus destroyed
His Forecast Was Right
lHE poet Thomas Gray felt differently about it. In
1877 ne saw not only danger but also glory for
nation of men with wings. He wrote:
'The time viA come. when thou shalt lift thine
eyes
To ,cotch long -draWn baHle of the skies.
While aged peasants. too axsased fo, Uords,
Stare at the flying feet Of ,0osdroxs birds.
England, so long the mistress Of the sea,
Where winds and ,Oases confess her sovereignty.
Her ancient triunbhs yet on high shall bea'
And reign the sovereign Of the conquered air. !"
Tennyson took turn at prophecy hundred years
ago and dipped into the future far as human eye
could see" He saw airy navies graphing in the cen
tral blue" but he also saw "the heavens fill with
commerce ... " and bright day with battle flags
fled in the Parliament of Man. the Federation Of the
world"
That is the tomorrow for which today's history
making air heroes the flying kids from next door are
wagng the battle of the sky. VIRGINIA HERDER
