OF Morofai Reinvasion
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The japanese Domei news agency
today broadcast from Tokyo a kill
on a story it had circulated to the
controlled press of Occupied Asia
claiming japanese forces had landed
on American-held Morotai Island
300 miles south of the Philippines,
without loss of a man"
A Tokyo broadcast heard last
Tuesday night by the Federal Com
munications Commission made the
unconf1rmed claim that powerful
japanese unit" had landed on Nor
otai. The only action at Morotai
reported by, Gen. MacArthur,s Of
fetal communicates has been spor-
adic enemy air raids.
Apparently the Morotai story was
not broadcast by Domei to Asia
until today. FEC said that one hour
after sending out the story today
the agency, without explanation
advised editors merely to kill our
story on counterlanding on Nor

MOSCOW, Dec. 1.-Enveloping
so more communities in their
new drive west of the Danube
in Southwestern Hungary, Rus
sian troops today moved north
ward to within 100 miles of the
Austrian border.
Moscow announced 9-mile ad-
vance north along the west bank of
the great river yesterday. Northeast
OF the besieged Hungarian capital
other Red Army troops seized the
Axis strongholds of Eyer and Silk
$40 which guards invasion routes
into central Slovakia.
Russian troops also cut the rail-
way between Miskolc, Hungary's
fifth city, and Kassa (Kosice), East
ern Slovakian communication hub
now threatened by Gen. Ivan Pc
trov's forces tanning out from cap
tured Ungvar. The line was severed
at Arnot, less than 3 miles north
east Of Miskolc.
Gen. Petrovs troops, attacking on
30-mile front, captured 80 villages,
including Domasa, 20 miles east of
Presov; Moraviany, % miles east of
Kassa, and Zemplin, miles north
east of the big north Hungarian rail
center OF Satoraljaujhely.
In addition to capturing Eyer and
Szikszo, Marshal Rodion Y. Malino-
vsky's troops penetrated Kacs, 10
miles northeast of Eyer and Is miles
from the Central Slovakian from
tier.
Using captured PEGS, in South
western Hungary, as a base, Russian
and Yugoslav partisan forces were
driving northward toward one of
the main railways which the Ger
mans use to supply their forces of
occupation at zagreb, in Northern
Yugoslavia.
The Red Army also swarmed
southwark from PEGS, swooping
through villages which had been
pocketed by the advance across the
Danube. The triple Russian aim
appeared an attempt to force a de-
cision in Hungary at Budapest, in
wade Austria, and cut off the retreat
of an estimated 100000 German
troops now in Yugoslavia.

Fall Below Schedule;
Leaders Concerned

Report on Firms Awaited

Both sales in e" bonds and
total sales to individuals-in- L.
cluding "E" bonds and bonds of
larger issue - fell below the
schedule in today's report of the
Districts Sixth War Loan drive.
The "E" bonds have been tagging
for several days, but today is the
first day that total individual

Sales to individuals rose 81 $50 900
in reports of yesterdays purchases,
making the new total s14,150,0O0, or
BOTS per cent Of the SAC, ZOO, 900

$500, 900, giving a new high of So. .400, :
900. or 28 per cent Of the $50 900 ,O0C
quota.
Drive leaders expressed concern
over whether the District can meet
its quota in the drive unless pur-
chases increase quickly. -

day of the first sales of bonds tc

they will equal or top the total in

for sales to corporations is s48,-

all quota, including individuals, and
corporations, of S94 900 900.
Failure Unless individuals Buy.
However, leaders pointed out that
even if the corporation should insure
the drive making it's overall quota
by oversubscribing their share. the
drive would be considered a failure

.To0pen Here
Early Next Year
Big 8 Talks Wait;
Diplomats to Finish
Dumburton Plan
By JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

Copyright by Evening Star Newspaper Co,
The full-dress United Nations
conference to form an interna-
tional security organization will
be held in Washington in Janu-
ary or February, according to
present plans, it was learned au-
thoritatively today.
Congressional sources understand
that because of military reasons the
planned meeting of President Roose-
welt, Prime Minister Churchill and
Premier Stain has been postponed
Indefinitely. Consequently the points
left unsettled in the security organ
ization plan worked out at Dunbar
ton Oaks will be resolved by diplo-
matte negotiations.
The State Department, according
to sources on Capitol Hill, already
has issued invitations to the Wash
ington conference, but left them un-
dated due to the uncertainty as to
when complete agreement on the
draft plan would be achieved by the
big three" powers
Approval of Plan Expected.
One reason why Chairman Con-
nally of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tlons Committee insisted on push
ing confirmation of Edward r. Stet-
tinlus, jr., as Secretary of State
through the Senate yesterday was
that he wanted Mr.. Stettinius to
be in position to work Immediately
on organization of the conference.
Unlike the Inflated plans of Wood
row Wilson to have the United
States join the League of Nations,
which met defeat in the Senate, the
proposed United Nations organiza-
ton has bright prospects of prompt
approval on Capitol Hill Both Mr..
Stettinius and his predecessor, Sec
retary Hull, have consulted with
Senator Connally and other mem
bers of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee on every phase of the pro-
posed organizat ton and have had
their complete cooperation.
The meeting here would be COM
parable to the historic conferences
of Vienna and Versailles, which
sought to shape the future of the
Western World after the Napoleonic
and World Wars, respectively. There
IS, however, this difference-the
Washington conference will consider
only plans for postwar security or
eanization, leaving to another meet
ing the terms of peace to be i'm
posed on Germany and Japan.
Three Issues Unsettled,
Basis of the Washington confer
ence will be the draft plan worked
out at Dumbarton Oaks for an in
ternational security organization. 1t
provides for general assembly of
all "peace-loving" nations of a gen.
eral nature; council dominated by
the big powers to use force, if neces-
sary, in curbing an aggressor; and a
world court to settle disputes of a
judicial nature.
Three major problems were left
unsettled by the Brit
ish-R Russian Chinese conference at
Dumbarton Oaks last summer
These were: /. Whether a nation
represented on the council shall vote
on dispute involving itself. 2. The
disposition of former League of Ma
tions mandates. 3. The. organiza ton
of world court.
These were the issues originally
slated for consideration by the
American, British and Russian
chiefs Of state and which, it now
appears, will be worked out on a
diplomatic level.

Department today for comment or

Reich After Americans
Lost 40 BomberS
Allied Air Offensive Set
Record Lost Month; 5000
Tons Fall on Two Towns
By the Associated Fress.

By The Associated Fress.
LONDON. Dec. 1.-Great waves
of RAF bombers raided Germany
during the night, sustaining the
record breaking Allied November
air offensive which yesterday
cost the United States Air Force
one of its heaviest losses-4O
four-engined craft downed by
ack-ack.
Thirteen American fighters also
failed to return to their British
bases after all-day pulverizing at
tacks by 5000 planes on synthetic
oil plants in the Leipzig area and
railyards in the Saarbrucken sector.
The Tactical Air Forces supporting
ground troops lost three medium
bombers and one fighter.
Originally 56 bombers and 30
fighters had been reported missing,
but a recapitulation showed that 16
bombers and II fighters have been
reported safe.
United States 18th Air Force
bombers today were reported strik-
ing at Germany from Italy. Berlin
broadcasts warned the Germans of
the raiders over Bavaria.
Last night more than 500 Hall
faxes and Lancasters dropped 5000
tons of fire bombs and explosives on
the Rhine-Ruhr city of Duisburg
and 2-ton blockbusters on Ham
burg. Four Of the raiders were lost.
Ack-Ack Is Heavy.
Not since So American bombers
went down to combined ack- ack
fire and fighter opposition over Ber-
lin in April have Allied planes en-
countered such concentrated defense
fire as they did yesterday, particul-
larly in a 40-mile square area near
Leipzig.
Tempering the heavy losses re-
ported by an 9th Air Force COM
munique was the belief that most
fighter pilots were grounded in
friendly territory.
The German air force refused to
come up in strength to oppose the
massive formations of Fortresses
and Liberators. Four enemy inter-
ceptors were shot down.
FortreSses struck at Bohlen, Zeitz
Merseberg and Lutzkendorf neal
Leipzig, roaring over the targets al
25, 900 to 10000 feet with full escort
of fighters. Results here were de-
scribed as very favorable"
10 Tons Minute Dropped.
The blows topped a 36-hour con.
tinuous aerial offensive which left
the Reich erupting from an average
of 10 tons of bombs minute from
the 1000 planes flying on seven
major missions in that period ano
some 1000 sorties in support of the
ground armies.
Overall losses for the tWo-day
period, marked by the appearance
of less than dozen German fighter
planes, were 76 bombers and 81
fighters. These were IL British
heavy bombers, four bombers anc
two fighters of the continent -basec
tactical air forces, and go 9th All
Force bombers and 30 fighters.
In the two days approximately
5000 tons of bombs were dumped
on these targets:

targets smashed exclusively by
British bombers. Objectives were fuel

The Senate Republican
Steering Committee agreed
tentatively today to oppose
confirmation of two of Presi-

Board. Chairman Taft said
it was his judgment most of
the 81 Republican Senators
would vote against confirm
ing former Gov. Robert A.

as chairman of the board, and
1t. Col. Edward Heller, War
Department finance represen-
tative at Boston. The de-
velopment came as Gov. Hur-

BY the Associated Press.
The War Department today de-
Tended its guarantee of a S2,-
100000 loan to the Narragansett
Machine Co. before Senators
opening an investigation of two
Surplus War Property Board
nominees.
The Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee, considering the nominations
of former Gov. Robert A. Hurley of
Connecticut, and 1t. Col. Edward
Heller of California, was told that
the loan was essential to production
of tank gun mounts in 1912.
The testimony was given by Julius
Amberg, special legal assistant to
Secretary of War Stimson, while Mr.
Hurley, vice president of the Mar
ragansett Co.. at Providence, R. l.,
and Col. Heller. an Army finance
officer, awaited calls to the stand.
The 100000 loan was made
originally by the Industrial Trust
Co. of Providence under a 80 per
cent War Department guarantee.
Later, it was transferred to the Fed
eral Reserve Bank at Boston under
a 100 per cent guarantee. 1t was
criticized last year by the House
Military Affairs Committee.
The second loan fell due today,
Mr.. Amberg said, and there still is
