 Feeling High In Canodu
BY NORMAN MACLEOD

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Ottawa, November 30. = The Liberal government of Prime Minis ter Mackenzie King was virtually assured today of parliament's voted confidence but feeling against over- seas conscription continued to run high and civilians in Montreal staged a window-smashing protest against shipping 16,O00 Home Guards to the battlef1elds of Europe.
 The security of Kings leadership was bolstered by former defense minister J. L. Ralston who told the House of Commons last night that he would support the Prime Min ister's government because "any other course would mean delay in getting badly needed endorsements overseas"
 Ralston questioned the possibility of speedily reinforcing Canadian battle units overesas under Kings conscirpition decree. He said he be- heved the defense ministry of Gen. eral A. G. L. McNaughton should be responsible for prompt action and also for plans to increase the num- Der of conscripts above 16,000 as pro- vided by the decree.
 Ralston resigned two months ago as defense minister after warning fellow cabinet members that Cana da's active army, lacking sufficient replacements, was "on the thin edge

 The freight yards in the Saar- brucken area were bombed without any German air opposition, and one American group which went to Merseburg also reported it met no challenge.
 Returning pilots said the bomb- ing results appeared good.
 Continuing the nonstop aerial of- fensive against Germany, the Eighth Air Force threw more than 1,25O heavy bombers and 1000 fight CTS into strong assault on the Leipzig and Saarbrucken areas while British four engined Lancas- ters escorted by fighters singled out the Benzol plants in the Ruhr.

 Paris, November 3O.- (UP) = The American First and Ninth Armies captured Lam- ersdorf and Grosshau and hammered the Germans back through the streets of four other villages in savage fighting along a 21-mile front on the muddy plains before Cologne and Dusseldorf to- day.
 The German line appeared to be sagging back toward the Roer river along the en- tire sector beyond Aachen despite fanatical resistance by Germany's best troops under orders to stand or die"
 Front dispatches said Germany was throwing her choicest reserves into action in the west to replace an estimated 100000 troops killed, wounded or captured in the first three weeks of the Allied victory offensive along 40O-mile front from Holland to the Swiss border.
 Matching the American gains in the north, It. Gen. George s. Pat- tons American Third Army ad- vanced Up to mile and half deeper into sGermany's Saar Basin and seized high ground within two mileU of both Merzig and Saarlaut- ern, Siegfried Line strongholds on the 6aar river.

Churchill Is
 70 Years Old
BY ANN STRINGER

ID X ANN 61h4NIEh United Press Staff Correspondent London. Nov. -Britain's No. l warrior Prime Minister Win ston Churchill observed his roth birthday today far healthier and happier than on that gloomy day in 1940 when he took the leader ship of his country to start it on the road to victory.
 There were no festivities for Churchill was far too busy.
 Churchill loves a good fight and he had waged mighty one. The war effort is the handspring o. his life and people close to him say: "As long as the war lasts Winnie will not die.''
 Even his closest friends are amazed at his stamina and bound- less will for work, at the change in him during the last decade.
 "In 1884 he was so i'll he could scarcely see and walked leaning heavily on @ cane" one friend said. To-day he is in. buOyant, good health"
 In the past two years he has suffered two serious illnesses, but he recovered from both in record time, never losing for moment his in- tense mental curiosity.
 Churchill's day begins at ' a. m. He lies in bed for the next three hourS-not sleeping or resting but working, telephning, reading or dictating, and all the time smoking like mad.
 \ Then he goes to the office where he starts 8 constant stream of con- ferences. Come what may, he takes nap every afternoon for at least an hour. It is often said it is worth your life to drop a pin when he is sIeeping

Washington, Nov. 30 = (UP) = President Roosevelt intervened to- day in the latest intramural souabble to plague his administra- ton by dismissing Assistant At torney General Norman M. Littell on the ground of "insubordination" to Attorney General Francis Riddle.
 The presidents action was dis closed by the Justice Department which made public a statement by MT. Roosevelt revealing that the chief executive also had suggested to Iittell that he resign flor his own career"
 Littell's dismissal climaxed a quarrel with his superior as a re- suit of which Riddle asked him to resign. The quarrel reached the stage of an exchange of charges in communications from the two men to the Senate War Investigating Committee. Riddle had asked Lit tell to resign because of "incom- patibility" between them, but the assistant attorney general refused. He said Riddle was under the 'in- fluence of Thomas Corcoran, for mer brain truster. and hatt good governments rather than personal tpcompatibility was at stake.
 President Roosevelt said Littell's statement tol the Senate commit tee left him no alternative but to remove the assistant attorney gen. aral from Ofilce.
 "When statements made by Nor- man Littell t1rst appeared in the papers" the president said, T wrote to him that it was primarily an executive matter and that

PLANES SINK ALL 13 SHIPS
 IN JAP CONVOY
BY WILLIAM B. DICKINSON United Press War Correspondent

BY WILLIAM B. DICKINSON United Press War Correspondent
 Allied Headquarters, Philip pines, November 30. - (UP) = American planes have smashed a sixth large-scale Japanese attempt to rein force the doomed Leyte garri- son, sinking IS ships with at least 4,OOO troops in a two day battle in the Camotes Sea, General Douglas Mac Arthur announced today.
 Two of the 10 transports sunk reached the enemy stronghold of Ormoc on the west coast of Leyte and had unloaded partially before they were sent to the bottom, but the remainder went down with vir- tually all hands. Three escorting destroyers also were sunk.
 The victory boosted the enemy's losses in six attempts at reinforce ment of Leyte to 21,000 men, 26 transports of total of 92,750 tons, and IT escort vessels.
 Heavy downpours continued to stymie all ground activity on Ieyte except minor patrol action. MacAr-. thur said an unprecedented 23h inches of rain had fallen since the beginning of November, nearly twice the normal rainfall Front-line troops were being supplied in part by air.
 Thunderbolts, -ightnings, War hawks and a small number of Nit chel bombers caught the latest Jap anese convoy well out in the Ca- notes Sea Tuesday and bombed and |strafed, 1t without ietrup until the last of the 10 transports and three |destrayers had been sunk yesterday afternoon.
 The transports were believed carrying nearly full division of troops. Japanese prisoners captured in recent days said another infan- try division had been expected at Ormoc.
 The Japanese ships scattered soon after the attack began, and all seven of the smaller transports and one of teh large ships were sunk well out to sea. The other two large ships apparently reached Ormoc under

 Washington, Nov. 30 = (U.P0 = The seven-month-old Sedition trial came to an end today when Federal Judge Edward 0. Richer, who has presided over the proceedings since they started April II died after a heart attack.
 Eicher's death automatically end- ed the current trial. The indictment under which the case was being tried still stands. The Justice Department must decide whether to start the trial all over again. It was believed a decision on this might be delayed some time.
 The original indictment named 30 defendants but only 26 were still being tried. Three of the original de- fendants were granted severances- separate trials. One, Elmer Garner of Wichita, Kan, died of a heart attack in his rooming house last summer.
 The two-score defense attorneys had entered several hundred mistrial motions during the course of the trial and the record now comprises more than 3.500.0OO words in docu- ment weighing more than 150 pounds.
 Thirty mine witnesses had testi- fled for the government thus far. and the prosecutlon's case still was
