The bombing of RegenSburg was
the most accurate he had ever seen
and the Berlin raid of March 6 the
roughest, he said. He has flown with
the same crew ever since he went
overseas in November, 1943, and only
one member of the crew received
the Purple Heart, and that for a
slight wound.
Sergt. Murnane was educated
here and in Alexandria. graduating
from George Washington High
School in 1910, and completing one
year at George Washington Uni
versity before he left his studies for
professional baseball which he
played for a year before he was
drafted in 1912.
His plans for after the war are
indefinite, he said, but possibly in
clude more professional baseball.
The young flyer said that while
overseas he saw several boys from
home, including Alex Marinoff, Jer-
ry Lynch, Will Snyder and Edward
Apperson, When he left England,
1t. Apperson was reported missing,

he is prisoner of war reached his

 ATHENS Is
 SL0WINGUp
However, ELIAS Le eaders Have Not Yet Accept
 ed British Terms

ATHENS, Dec. 14-ELAS forces of the National Liberation Front in the center of Athens appeared halted today, British leaders said. The most dangerous phase of the l2-day turmoil has apparently passed. Heavy fire that shook the city earlier this week gave way to sporadic machine-gun bursts in the past 24 hours. It was the quietest of any like period since fighting broke out between the Leftists, on one hand, and Greek forces and British troops. on the other.
 Rumors persist d that ELIAS leaders would attempt to reach an agreement with Maj. Gen. Scobie, British commander, and send rep resentatives with counter proposals, but it is understood the British terms remained unchanged.
 These British demands included evacuation of Attcai by the ELIAS, surrender of their arms and dis bandment of private armies.

By DREW PEARSON Ct. Col. Robert S. Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON Administra- tion leaders aren't shouting about it, but they are not at all happy over Congressional rumblings of an investigation of Lend-Lease. There has been under-cover talk Of such an investigation for some time but now it seems likely to come te a definite head sometime during the next Congress.
 One thing which has renewed talk of probe is the British pro- posal to use some Lend lease goods for re-export in order tc build up British trade. This was discussed by Lord Keynes when ht was in Washington to renew the Lend-Lease agreement.
 Another factor disturbing Con- gress is the reported misuse oi Lend-Lease goods in various areas Authentic reports have come back regarding Italian work battalions employed by the British to remove American trademarks from goods and apply British trademarks be- fore they are distributed in Italy
 Still another report reaching tht State Department involves a re- quest from the Iraq Government for 100 trucks and tractors.

This Department has no power to do any of these things. These are all red herrings, designed to divert the public from the real issue in the case which is whether certain areas of land and water of AL aska belong to the Indian villages under existing statutes.
